Government Orders
Mr. Speaker, Liberal bills, such as Bill C-5 and Bill C-75, are at the root of the issues we are trying to tackle here today. Conservatives have led the debate on the key issues of the cost of living and the carbon tax, which forced the Liberals to take action. I hope the Liberals take note of the concerns of my constituents that I have shared here today. I absolutely think more needs to be done t…

Mr. Speaker, as always, it is an honour to rise in the House on behalf of my constituents in northeast Calgary. I want to speak today on an issue that hits very close to home and has deeply impacted members of the South Asian community across Canada.

Mr. Speaker, Canada is facing a growing problem with the transnational criminal network, which uses fear, intimidation and violence to extort Canadian families and businesses. Conservatives take that threat seriously and believe that the response must be serious as well. We want to give our law enforcement the tools they need to disrupt organized crime and protect Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, Conservatives recognize Canada's international humanitarian obligations and the need to protect people fleeing persecution, but those obligations require strong screening, proper enforcement and a clear focus on public safety. The safety of Canadians must always come first.

Mr. Speaker, Conservatives have been calling for bail reform for years now, and we have proposed numerous bills to keep repeat violent offenders behind bars. If the Liberals were really serious about keeping Canadians safe, they would support the Conservative jail not bail act. Today, I am here to speak about extortion. It is hurting my communities. Families and small businesses are being affected…

Mr. Speaker, Conservatives have also introduced Bill C-242, the jail not bail act, brought forward by the Conservative member for Oxford. This bill would reform Canada's bail system by making public safety the primary consideration, expanding reverse onus for serious violent offences and tightening rules for repeat offenders. Conservatives will not accept a Canada where families and businesses fee…

Mr. Speaker, three years ago the finance minister promised to stabilize food prices, but since then the price of lettuce is up 39%, coffee is up 33%, beef is up 27%, baby formula is up 13%, and even canned vegetables are up 12%. Canada now leads all G7 countries in food inflation and has over two million food bank visits each month. Food inflation is twice as high as when the Prime Minister took o…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister told Canadians to judge him by the prices at the grocery store. Eight months have passed, and now “Canada's Food Price Report” says that Canadian families should expect to pay an extra $1,000 for groceries in 2026. In total, grocery bills have doubled under the Liberals to $340 per week. When will the Liberals cut their inflationary spending, their industrial carbon…

Madam Speaker, I ask my colleague to explain why the budget does not help farmers, builders and truckers, the people who keep Canada running.

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is the most expensive in Canadian history. Every dollar the Prime Minister spends comes out of the pockets of Canadians, driving up the cost of everything. The Prime Minister told Canadians to judge him by the prices they see at our grocery stores. Now, the industrial carbon tax has caused food prices in Canada to rise nearly 40% faster than in the U.S. Why is t…

Mr. Speaker, it is difficult to trust someone to fix a problem they created. Liberal Bill C-5 and Bill C-75 have proven to be disasters and have caused harm to Canadians. I hope the Liberals can right their wrong and provide effective relief to Canadian communities and families.

Mr. Speaker, Conservatives have been calling for bail reform for years now, and we have proposed numerous bills to keep repeat violent offenders behind bars. If the Liberals were really serious about keeping Canadians safe, they would support the Conservative jail not bail act. The Liberals are now trying to cover up a problem they have created. If they were really serious about fighting crime, th…

I want to speak specifically to this bill today because the safety of Canadians is something I am very passionate about, as I am sure many of my colleagues, members of the House, are as well.

Mr. Speaker, Liberal Bill C-5 and Bill C-75 are the root causes of the issues we are trying to tackle here today. The Conservatives have led the debate on key issues like the cost of living and the carbon tax, forcing Liberals to take action.

Mr. Speaker, there was a rally in B.C., and a member from the Liberal Party attended that rally, which was about defunding police organizations. How can crime be stopped if Liberal members are attending those kinds of rallies in B.C.?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal approach of expanding safe injection sites and safe supply programs has only fuelled addiction, crime and overdoses, leaving first responders and health care workers to clean up the mess. We believe in investing in treatment, recovery and enforcement, so Canadians can rebuild their lives.

Mr. Speaker, under the previous Conservative government, the CBSA budget was increased by 45%, and staffing levels rose by 26%, strengthening Canada's front line of defence. We invested in the tools, personnel and technology needed to keep Canadians safe and to stop illegal smuggling. We will never apologize for our strong Conservative record with respect to securing Canada's borders. Conservative…

Mr. Speaker, in June, the Liberals tabled Bill C-2 without even consulting the Privacy Commissioner or considering its impact on Canadians' rights. Frankly, this is unacceptable. People's lives are at stake, and Liberals are introducing bills through trial and error. I hope we can work together to form a productive outcome for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, during the last election, the Prime Minister promised Canadians that he would get a deal with the United States, but since he was elected, tens of thousands of Canadians have lost their jobs and $54 billion in investment has fled the country. Last week, Stellantis announced its plans to move its Brampton plant to Illinois after the finance minister signed a deal giving them 10 billion…

Mr. Speaker, in April, the Prime Minister promised bail reform to keep repeat violent criminals off our streets, but half a year later, he has broken his promise and kept soft-on-crime Liberal catch-and-release laws in place. It is because of Liberal bail that gun crime across Canada is up 130%, hate crime is up 258%, homicide is up nearly 30% and extortion is up 357%. Today, Conservatives are pro…

Mr. Speaker, crime and drug use are getting worse in Canada. Law enforcement agencies in Ontario recently seized 1,000 pounds of cocaine and nearly half a million lethal doses of fentanyl.

Meanwhile, the Liberal public safety minister does not even know h…

Mr. Speaker, just yesterday, the Auditor General confirmed that the Liberal government cannot be trusted to deliver on housing. It promised to convert empty federal offices into 4,000 units of affordable housing but has managed to complete only about 300 units so far. That is a total failure. It turns out that almost half the units are being built in areas that do not even need them. Now, after se…

The Liberal government insists on putting repeat violent offenders back into our communities, unleashing crime, chaos and disorder.

Mr. Speaker, we respect Quebec regulations, or whatever Quebeckers think. We should have our own economy. We should explore our own resources. We have so many resources in Canada. If we invest in our own resources, we can export our energy or other resources to other countries. It is a united country. I believe in a united Canada.

Mr. Speaker, families in my riding are forced to buy security systems and cameras for their home because they are afraid of their cars being stolen or their home being broken into. Intimate partner violence is on the rise, and so is human trafficking. We need to do more to put our communities first. Parents should feel safe letting their kids walk to school. Seniors should be able to take the bus …

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal record over 10 years has proven that paying more taxes will not make life more affordable or improve the climate. The Conservative plan is about responsible regulations and cutting red tape by 25% while maintaining clear rules that protect Canadians and the environment. We want to free up time and capital so small business owners can hire, expand and drive local economies …
