Mr. Speaker, he banned BB guns, paint guns and the hunting rifles of indigenous and rural Canadians, but enough about that. Let us just have the facts. Under the Conservative government, violent crime went down 22%. Under the Prime Minister, it has gone up 32%. There has been a 92% increase in violent gang crime under the Prime Minister. Those are the facts. Will he listen to the facts and the com…

Mr. Speaker, he put all the resources into going after licensed law-abiding, trained and tested firearms' owners, who are statistically the least likely people to commit a crime. Meanwhile, he has turned loose onto our streets repeat violent offenders who have committed literally dozens of violent offences. In Vancouver, under his bail regime, the same 40 people had to be arrested 6,000 times. Tha…

Mr. Speaker, members just witnessed, once again, the demagoguery of a Prime Minister who divides to distract. He calls indigenous Canadians in Nunavut, who hunt for sustenance, Americans. He calls our patriotic farmers, who use rifles for pest control, Americans. He calls decent, hard-working, law-abiding citizens, who have never broken a law in their lives, Americans because they disagree with hi…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister continues to be in the way of Canadians. He wants to bring in a 41¢-a-litre tax on Nova Scotians, which he claims will help the environment. Meanwhile, a project that would have actually helped the environment, the sustainable marine project, would have used tidal energy, the waves of the ocean, to generate electricity. That project has been cancelled because the Pr…

Mr. Speaker, the big task I have ahead is cleaning up the mess that he will leave me. He wants me to hold a big parade for him because he has made another promise. This is the guy who said that he spent billions of dollars on the Infrastructure Bank but has not completed a single project. He said it would only cost $7 billion to build the Trans Mountain pipeline. It is up to $30 billion, and it is…

Mr. Speaker, he does not have an environmental plan; he has a tax plan. Since he brought in the carbon tax, he has not succeeded in reaching a single emissions reduction target. That is because taxing people for something they have no choice but to use does not change the environment. Canadians have to drive and heat their homes. Instead of putting the burden on himself, the Prime Minister chooses…

Mr. Speaker, it is now clear why he wants to censor the Internet. He does not want Canadians to go and find out which of us is telling the truth. It would be very easy for them. I encourage them to google “A Distributional Analysis of the Federal Fuel Charge under the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan” and go to page 3. Anyone watching can google it now and see that the Prime Minister is deliberately …

Mr. Speaker, when he said $900-and-something, I thought for a moment that this was the price of his New York hotel room. Then I thought, “No, that cannot be true. It will be in the thousands.” He is spreading disinformation again. He promised he was going to censor misinformation. Why does he not censor himself? We can look at the information coming from the Parliamentary Budget Officer that he ap…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister cannot believe he is having to explain something to the leader of the NDP. Talking down to a member of his own coalition government just demonstrates how arrogant and out of touch this Prime Minister has become. Today, for example, he will hop on his private jet and fly off on vacation to hang out with the stars and give self-important and self-indulgent speeches at…

Mr. Speaker, this guy is so out of touch. Here we have 150,000 people on strike and the biggest federal strike in Canadian history. Canadians cannot get their services.

Mr. Speaker, all he has delivered is a bureaucracy that costs $20 billion more per year. That is $1,300 per Canadian family, a 50% increase, and for what?

Mr. Speaker, what he delivered is a bureaucracy that costs $20 billion more. That is $1,300 per Canadian family in additional costs related to that spending, and they are getting fewer services.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is insulting Canadians' intelligence by trying to convince them he has no ties to the Trudeau Foundation, when its donors pay for his vacations and his brother facilitated a donation to the foundation from China that was intended to influence the Prime Minister.

Mr. Speaker, according to our intelligence services, the Beijing dictatorship gave $140,000 to the Trudeau Foundation.

Any other person would have been called to appear here, in Parliament, to answer questions. Will the…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is continuing his crusade against hunters, indigenous peoples and farmers in Canada by trying to ban hunting rifles. He seriously thinks that a hunter from Saguenay is responsible for shootings in downtown Montreal. That is ridiculous. Why not target the real criminals instead of targeting our indigenous peoples and our hunters in the regions?

Mr. Speaker, the cost of the bureaucracy under the Prime Minister is rocketing up by $20 billion. That is $1,300 for every family in Canada, and it bought the biggest federal strike in Canadian history.

Mr. Speaker, this Prime Minister is unaffordable. Maybe if he were not spending $21 billion on consultants every year, he would not have the biggest public service strike in modern memory.

Mr. Speaker, it would be one thing to increase the cost of the bureaucracy by 50%, or $20 billion a year, and it would be another to have a strike. However, to do both of those things at once takes a special, unique kind of incompetence that only the Prime Minister could pull off. The consequences are that 700 soldiers have been without heat and warm water. Canadians are now being told that they a…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's incompetence is off the charts. He spent an additional $20 billion on federal bureaucracy all while causing the worst public service strike in 40 years.

Mr. Speaker, page 3 of the Parliamentary Budget Officer's report shows that when they add the fiscal and economic costs, the net cost is $1,820 per Ontario family above and beyond the rebates, with the vast majority paying more than they get back.

Mr. Speaker, I have spent time in my riding, and what they are talking about is that they cannot afford to put gas in their car because the Prime Minister's carbon tax is already 14¢ a litre, rising to 41¢ a litre.

Mr. Speaker, so if people just pay this 41¢-a-litre tax, the Prime Minister will send them something called a “carbon price return”. That is his latest term for it. It is almost like when one gets one of those emails asking for the password to one's bank account, so that a carbon price return can be deposited into it. Canadians know this tax is a scam. It has not reached any of the climate change …

Mr. Speaker, and yet the Parliamentary Budget Officer he appointed has calculated that the cost of the carbon tax to the average family is $1,500 more than these phony rebates they get back. This is not just a 41¢-a-litre tax on gas he wants to impose. In addition, it will raise the cost for farmers and truckers to bring food, so it is a food tax.

Mr. Speaker, he has no direct or indirect involvement with the Trudeau Foundation. Really? The annual report for 2021-22 lists him as an inactive member and says that he has only withdrawn from the affairs of the foundation for the duration of his involvement in federal politics, meaning he can go back to that big pile of cash when he leaves office: cash that was contributed to the foundation by t…
