Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I have a quick question for my colleague. Did she ever think that Canada would pay more in debt-servicing than it does in health care transfers to the provinces? That is something I never thought I would see, $54.1 billion in debt repayment, which is more than what w

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a two-part question. The first part is that Ford just announced that, in its first quarter, its EV department lost $1.3 billion. It has delayed a bunch of its EV products. The second part, and we have not talked about this near enough when we t

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, on a point of order, there seems to be so little interest in the fall economic statement, that I do not think there is quorum.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I know that the member represents his constituents well also. I would say it is a scary point in Canadian history when the federal government, the NDP-Liberal coalition, is spending more money on debt servicing than on health care. My friend is right. The amount

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, a lot of people continuously talk about the inaction on climate, but that is not the point I was talking about. I was talking about all the innovations we have made in agriculture and in our energy sector to lower our emissions. We should be a guiding light for inn

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I am proud to talk about what we have contributed to the world. What the member fails to understand is that we also produce a lot that helps feed the world. We produce the wheat, barley, peas, lentils and other crops that feed millions of people around the world,

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to take to my feet today to talk about the fall economic statement. First, if I have some latitude, I want to say that Canada just lost a national treasure not too long ago. It came out in the National Post that Rex Murphy passed away this

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, this fiscal economic statement has led to a budget where the debt servicing costs $54.1 billion, which is more than the federal government transfers to provinces for health care. We all know health care is very important. How did the member find his way to support

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I request recorded division, please.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I am very glad that the minister just mentioned the supposed delays that the Conservatives are causing on the bill. Technically, this government has had a majority for the last year and a half. It has a supply and confidence agreement with the NDP. It has a majorit

Prohibition of the Export of Horses by Air for Slaughter Act  Madam Speaker, as I am a member of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, we had questions for the member who brought this bill forward during committee. A lot of livelihoods would get destroyed if this bill passes, and a lot of them are indigenous businesses that

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member should be happy; this is of substance. This has been tried before. Portland, Oregon, did safe supply decriminalization. B.C. tried it. Their overdoses skyrocketed. This is not a new phenomenon. I know the NDP members are very upset because the NDP pol

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the NDP members are getting very upset because they failed Canadians. This has been tried. It has failed. There are examples of this failing. Why are the Liberals fighting so hard to continue down a path where more Canadians are going to die from safe supply? Let

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is hard to rise and talk to a topic like this one, as so many young people are dying across our country. There has been a 166% increase in deaths since the Prime Minister took over in 2015 to 2024. That is what we are talking about. People's loved ones have died

Business of Supply  The House leader of the NDP can yell as much as he wants. Madam Speaker, Dr. Nickie Mathew met with the health committee members and said that there was a 22% increase in B.C. youth with hydromorphone in their system. That comes from the safe supply. In B.C., there is a 22% incr
