Question Period

The Conservatives condemn the government for record youth unemployment and national debt, arguing that "credit card budgeting" worsens the cost of living. They criticize a failed gun grab and alleged insider boondoggles. Additionally, they demand the removal of gas taxes, better protections for property rights, and the preservation of the Snowbirds.

The Liberals emphasize their fiscally responsible record and affordability measures like dental care and the grocery benefit. They highlight green energy projects and new methane regulations to combat climate change. Additionally, they champion youth training for skilled trades, diversifying trade agreements, and military modernization.

The Bloc condemns the government for speeding up pipeline construction and scrapping the regulatory framework. They criticize the bypassing of environmental laws, the prioritizing of dirty fossil fuels, and the restriction of public consultations.

The NDP opposes privatizing ports and airports, warning that foreign ownership compromises security and Canadian sovereignty.

Financial Administration Act Report stage of Bill C-230. The bill (C-230) requires the government to establish a public registry disclosing individual corporate debt write-offs of $2 million or more. Proposed by Adam Chambers (Conservative), the legislation aims to increase CRA transparency and accountability regarding uncollected taxes. Having garnered cross-party collaboration, the House passed the bill at third reading, mandating that the Treasury Board publish details of forgiven, waived, or written-off corporate liabilities. 6800 words, 1 hour.

Addressing the cost of living Mel Arnold criticizes Liberal policies and deficit spending for making life unaffordable, calling for tax cuts on fuel and groceries. Tom Osborne defends the government's approach, citing targeted measures like grocery benefits, temporary fuel tax relief, and social programs, while questioning the opposition’s commitment to supporting those in need.

Addressing youth unemployment and training Garnett Genuis argues the government is failing youth with high unemployment and ignores Conservative proposals for parental leave reform and vocational support.
