Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to Depictions Media Radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Policy and Rights, the show up Fashion, welcomer, Policy,
Speaker 2: human joys. All right, welcome back to Policy and Rates.
Speaker 2: Here in Depiction Media Radio, I'm your host, Michael clarks Well,
Speaker 2: King Charles the Third. He read the Throne Speech for
Speaker 2: the Opening of Parliament for Canada as part of that Well,
Speaker 2: a lot of what was actually written in that speech
Speaker 2: was written by of course Mark Karney and the and
Speaker 2: the Liberal Liberal government, and it stresses the importance of
Speaker 2: a strong Canada. It's it stresses the importance of a
Speaker 2: strong economy and an economy that works for everyone. Let's
Speaker 2: wait and see how mister Carney decides working for everyone
Speaker 2: really means. If it means that let's supply the corporations
Speaker 2: and billionaires full of money and not so much for
Speaker 2: the middle class. But he did offer this.
Speaker 1: The cutting of GST on homes and and also eight
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year savings doesn't really sound like a
Speaker 1: whole lot, but depending on who you are and what
Speaker 1: you're trying to do with your life at the moment,
Speaker 1: it could be a good thing. He also stressed the
Speaker 1: importance of being able to fast track projects so that
Speaker 1: they get built faster. Well, here's the issue is what
Speaker 1: about the environmental studies. We have a huge damn project
Speaker 1: that we're going to put up and we don't care
Speaker 1: so much about the environment that it's going to change
Speaker 1: ecosystems and it's going to potentially damage honey grounds and
Speaker 1: list of the normal environmental things. But in the long
Speaker 1: run that we're seeing a lot of projects, especially here
Speaker 1: in British Columby, that are ripping down large numbers of trees,
Speaker 1: just grinding them up into dust, and that could be
Speaker 1: a potential mistake. See, the thing is is climate change
Speaker 1: isn't about what is happening now. They want you to
Speaker 1: focus on that, but the climate change is really what
Speaker 1: we hear depictions to mete your coin it as climate evolution. Well,
Speaker 1: as the planet evolves. We want to ensure the survival
Speaker 1: of the human race, that the human race is going
Speaker 1: to continue to live and have a society on this
Speaker 1: planet for a long period of time. Right now, we've
Speaker 1: only been in comparison to the life of the planet,
Speaker 1: in comparison to the life of the sun, we've only
Speaker 1: been here for a few seconds. So what this means
Speaker 1: is we need to ensure sure certain things. Trees are
Speaker 1: one of those things that need to need to remain
Speaker 1: standing because they are the carbon sinks for our atmosphere.
Speaker 1: They suck the carbon back out of the atmosphere and
Speaker 1: put it into the ground. Wait a second, Now, there
Speaker 1: are others out there that have said some other goofy
Speaker 1: stuff that, well, you know, the carbon is plant food
Speaker 1: we need to keep. We don't need to reduce the
Speaker 1: amount of carbon. That isn't necessarily true either. There needs
Speaker 1: to be a fine balance not tearing down the trees,
Speaker 1: pushing forward with forested areas and protecting those forested areas
Speaker 1: from lumber mills and things, and ensuring that the forest
Speaker 1: fires are actually gonna happen. Wait, forest fires are actually
Speaker 1: going to happen. Here's a funny thing about pine trees,
Speaker 1: and Canada has a lot of pine trees. The pine
Speaker 1: cones that drop on the ground cannot be activated unless
Speaker 1: something heats them up to between four and five hundred
Speaker 1: degrees fahrenheit. Don't ask you this Celsius connection right this second.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that much math. But that
Speaker 1: introduces the idea of the fire naturally occurring forest fire
Speaker 1: holds the perfect temperature to break open the pine cones
Speaker 1: and produce the right amount of ash. That ash is
Speaker 1: actually plant fertilizer and also part of how the trees
Speaker 1: actually put the carpment back into the ground. So we
Speaker 1: need to ensure that projects do not tear down any trees,
Speaker 1: especially the tall trees, that the trees are protected. As
Speaker 1: we build homes, we also need to rethink our idea
Speaker 1: of home building because we're seeing more and more towers
Speaker 1: and we need to build less towers. I know we
Speaker 1: have to house more people, but we need to ensure
Speaker 1: some sort of population control, which these are immigration and
Speaker 1: foreign policies on education. Hey, they're trying to maintain that
Speaker 1: at about five percent of the current population of Canada,
Speaker 1: which will actually increase as more immigrants are let in.
Speaker 1: It will eventually increase, but it will increase at a
Speaker 1: control rate rather than at shooting off towards an exponential
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of really cool things happening with
Speaker 1: this speech, and there are a lot of things that
Speaker 1: aren't so cool. We're going to hear eventually from the
Speaker 1: Conservatives in this particular episode as they react to it.
Speaker 1: And I believe I also can pull up a NDP
Speaker 1: reaction to this speech also, and we'll hear all of
Speaker 1: these reactions from different other political parties as they chime
Speaker 1: in on what a lot of what was said in
Speaker 1: this Throne speech. There are other things that, yes, we
Speaker 1: do need to fix reconciliation with the Indigenous people. Part
Speaker 1: of that means that the Indigenous people get to strike
Speaker 1: down a project because it's hurting the environment. They are
Speaker 1: our residential experts on that, and it should be allowed
Speaker 1: to speak as those experts on what our environment should
Speaker 1: look like for Canada according to the traditions that they follow.
Speaker 1: This means that they don't. We got to stop the
Speaker 1: corporations from trying to bribe the indigenous nations from China
Speaker 1: say hey, we'll give you a bunch of money. We
Speaker 1: need to need to curb the money part so that
Speaker 1: the corporations lose some control and so that we can
Speaker 1: eliminate some of the greed from Canada making, which would
Speaker 1: make Canada a much greater place to live. So let's
Speaker 1: move forward. We're going to hear the Throne speech as
Speaker 1: King Charles reads it, and then we will hear other
Speaker 1: party debates.
Speaker 3: May it please your Majesty the House of Commons has
Speaker 3: elected me their speaker, so I am but little able
Speaker 3: to fulfill the important duties thus assigned to me. If
Speaker 3: in the performance of those duties I should at any
Speaker 3: time fall into error, I pray that the fault may
Speaker 3: be imputed to me and not to the House of Commons,
Speaker 3: whose servant I am, and who threw me the better
Speaker 3: to enable them to discharge their duty to their king
Speaker 3: and country, humbly claim all their undoubted rights and privileges,
Speaker 3: especially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates,
Speaker 3: access to Your Majesty's person at all seasonable times, and
Speaker 3: that their proceedings may receive from Your Majesty the most
Speaker 3: favorable construction.
Speaker 4: May it please Your Majesty, The House of Commons has
Speaker 4: elected meither speaker, though I am but little able to
Speaker 4: fulfill the important duties thus assigned to me. If in
Speaker 4: the performance of those duties I should at any time
Speaker 4: fall into error, I pray that the fault may be
Speaker 4: imputed to me and not to the Commons, whose servant
Speaker 4: I am, and who through me, the better to enable
Speaker 4: them to discharge their duty to their king and country,
Speaker 4: humbly claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, especially that
Speaker 4: they may have freedom of speech in their debates, access
Speaker 4: to Your Majesty's person at all seasonable times, and that
Speaker 4: their proceedings may receive from Your Majesty the most favorable construction.
Speaker 5: Mister speaker, I am commanded by His Majesty the King
Speaker 5: to declare to you that he freely confides in the
Speaker 5: duty and attachment of a House of Commons to His
Speaker 5: Majesty's person and government, and not doubting that their proceedings
Speaker 5: will be conducted with wisdom, temper and prudence he grants
Speaker 5: and upon all occasions, will recognize and allow their constitutional privileges.
Speaker 5: I am commanded also to assure you that the Commons
Speaker 5: shall have ready access to His Majesty upon all salable
Speaker 5: seasonable occasions, and that their proceedings, as well as your
Speaker 5: words and actions, will constantly receive from him the most
Speaker 5: favorable construction.
Speaker 4: Monsieur p Mister speaker, I am commanded by His Majesty
Speaker 4: the King, to declare to you that he freely confides
Speaker 4: in the duty and attachment of the House of Commons
Speaker 4: to His Majesty's person and government, and not doubting that

Speaker 4: their constitutional privileges. I am commanded also to assure assure
Speaker 4: you rather that the Commons shall have ready access to
Speaker 4: His Majesty upon all seasonable occasions, and that their proceedings,
Speaker 4: as well as your words and actions, will constantly receive
Speaker 4: from Him the most favorable construction.
Speaker 6: Honorable Senators, Members of the House of Commons, it is
Speaker 6: with a deep sense of pride and pleasure that my
Speaker 6: wife and I join you here today as we witness
Speaker 6: Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride, unity,
Speaker 6: and hope. I would like to acknowledge that we are
Speaker 6: gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and the
Speaker 6: Shinabek people.
Speaker 7: This land.
Speaker 6: Acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation.
Speaker 6: While continuing to deepen my own understanding, it is my
Speaker 6: great hope that in each of your communities and collectively
Speaker 6: as a country, a path is found toward truth and
Speaker 6: reconciliation in both word and deep. This is my twentieth
Speaker 6: visit to Canada, spread over the course of more than
Speaker 6: half a century and my first sovereign. As I've said before,
Speaker 6: every time I come to Canada, a little more of
Speaker 6: Canada seeps into my bloodstream and from there straight to
Speaker 6: my heart. I've always had the greatest admiration for Canada's
Speaker 6: unique identity, which is recognized across the world, for bravery
Speaker 6: and sacrifice in defense of national values, and for the diversity.
Speaker 7: And kindness of Canadians.
Speaker 6: To the First Nations, Inuit and Minty peoples, you have
Speaker 6: welcomed my family and myself to your traditional lands with
Speaker 6: great war and hospitality, for which I am humbly grateful.
Speaker 6: This year we mark the eightieth anniversary of V Day
Speaker 6: and v J Day on Juno Beach at Dieppe, on
Speaker 6: the Somme at Beaumont, Mmel at Epe, and on Vimy Ridge.
Speaker 6: At those places and many others, forever etched into our memories,
Speaker 6: Canadians fought and died alongside our closest allies.
Speaker 7: JOUI.
Speaker 8: Today I see representatives from every part of Canada, from
Speaker 8: Saint John's Newfoundland and Labrador, to Victoria, British Columbia and
Speaker 8: Arviat in Nunavut. I see the guardians of the fundamental
Speaker 8: rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Canadian Charter. Ann Is King,
Speaker 8: I thank you for your service to your fellow Canadians
Speaker 8: across the length and breadth of this vast and great nation.
Speaker 7: You speak for.
Speaker 6: Your communities, representing an incredible richness of cultures, languages and perspectives.
Speaker 6: We owe it to this generation and those who succeed us,
Speaker 6: to think and act for the greater good of all.
Speaker 6: While the world faces unprecedented challenges generating uncertainties across the
Speaker 6: continents with regards to peace and stability, economics and climate change,
Speaker 6: your communities have the skills and determination to bring a
Speaker 6: wealth of solutions.
Speaker 7: Or encourageon la calaberacion.
Speaker 8: By fostering collaboration and engaging in respectful, constructive debates, you
Speaker 8: will ensure this government is capable of bold and fair
Speaker 8: action to support Canadians.
Speaker 6: It has been nearly seventy years since the sovereign first
Speaker 6: open Parliament. In the time since, Canada has dramatically changed,
Speaker 6: repatriating its constitution, achieving full independence, and witnessing immense growth.
Speaker 6: Canada has embraced this British, French and Indigenous roots and
Speaker 6: become a bold, ambitious, innovative country that is bilingual, truly multicultural,
Speaker 6: and committed to reconciliation. The crown has for so long
Speaker 6: been a symbol of unity for Canada. It also represents
Speaker 6: stability and continuity from the past to the present, as
Speaker 6: it should. It stands proudly as a symbol of Canada
Speaker 6: today in all her richness and dynamism. When my dear
Speaker 6: late mother Queen Elizabeth opened a new Canadian Parliament in
Speaker 6: nineteen fifty seven, the Second World War remained a fresh
Speaker 6: painful memory. The Cold War was intensifying, Freedom and democracy
Speaker 6: were under threat. Canada was emerging as a growing economic
Speaker 6: power and a force for peace in the world. In
Speaker 6: the decades since, history has been punctuated by epoch making events,
Speaker 6: the Vietnam War, the fall of a Berlin War, and
Speaker 6: the start of the War on Terror. Today Canada faces
Speaker 6: another critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self determination,
Speaker 6: and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear and ones
Speaker 6: which the government is determined to protect. The system of
Speaker 6: open global trade that, while not perfect, has helped to
Speaker 6: deliver prosperity for Canadians for decades is changing. Canada's relationships
Speaker 6: with partners are also changing.
Speaker 7: We must be clear eyed.
Speaker 8: The world is more dangerous and uncertain place than at
Speaker 8: any point since the Second World War. Canada is facing
Speaker 8: challenges that are unprecedented in our lifetimes.
Speaker 6: Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically
Speaker 6: changing world around them. Fundamental change is always unsettling. Yet
Speaker 6: this moment is also an incredible opportunity, an opportunity for renewal,
Speaker 6: an opportunity to think big and to act bigger, an
Speaker 6: opportunity for Canada to embark on the largest transformation of
Speaker 6: its economy since the Second World War. A confident Canada,
Speaker 6: which has welcomed a new Canadians, including from some of
Speaker 6: the most tragic global conflict zones, can seize this opportunity
Speaker 6: by recognizing that all Canadians can give themselves far more
Speaker 6: than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away,
Speaker 6: and that by staying true to Canadian values, Canada can
Speaker 6: build new alliances and a new economy that serves all Canadians.
Speaker 6: The Prime Minister and the President of the United States,
Speaker 6: for example, have begun defining a new economic and security
Speaker 6: relationship between Canada and the United States, routed in mutual
Speaker 6: respect and founded on common interests to deliver transformational benefits
Speaker 6: for both sovereign nations.
Speaker 7: Simultanemore.
Speaker 8: In parallel, the government is working to strengthen its relationships
Speaker 8: with reliable trading partners and allies around the world. Recognizing
Speaker 8: that Canada has what the world needs and the values
Speaker 8: the world respects. Canada is ready to build a coalition
Speaker 8: of like minded countries that share its values, that believe
Speaker 8: in international cooperation and the free and open exchange of goods, services,
Speaker 8: and ideas. In this new, fast evolving world, Canada is
Speaker 8: ready to lead. This will be demonstrated in June when
Speaker 8: Canada convenes the g seventh Summit.
Speaker 6: The government is guided by its conviction that the economy
Speaker 6: is only truly strong when it serves everyone. Many Canadians
Speaker 6: are struggling to get ahead. The government is responding, reducing
Speaker 6: middle class taxes and saving two income families up to
Speaker 6: eight hundred and forty dollars a year. It will cut
Speaker 6: the GST on homes at or under one million dollars
Speaker 6: the first time home buyers, delivering savings of up to
Speaker 6: fifty thousand dollars, and it will lower the GSD on
Speaker 6: homes between one million dollars and one point five million dollars.
Speaker 7: The gouvernorment.
Speaker 8: The government will protect the programs that are already saving
Speaker 8: families thousands of dollars every year. These include childcare and pharmacare.
Speaker 8: In addition to these, the government has recently expanded the
Speaker 8: Canadian Idental Care Plan to cover about eight million Canadians,
Speaker 8: saving the average person more than eight hundred dollars annually.
Speaker 6: The government's overarching goal its core mission is to build
Speaker 6: the strongest economy in the G seven.
Speaker 7: That starts with creating.
Speaker 6: One Canadian economy out of thirteen internal barriers to trade
Speaker 6: a mobility cost Canada as much as two hundred billion
Speaker 6: dollars each year. The government will introduce legislation to remove
Speaker 6: all remaining federal barriers to internal trade and labor mobility
Speaker 6: by Canada Day.
Speaker 4: Numerous premiers have already taken vital steps to break down
Speaker 4: provincial and territorial barriers to trade. Together, we will build
Speaker 4: on that progress to deliver free trade across the.
Speaker 7: Nation Agis d'afore essencie.
Speaker 4: This is critical to unlocking Canada's full economic potential, but
Speaker 4: it's not enough.
Speaker 7: To build Canada strong.
Speaker 6: The government is working closely with provinces, territories and Indigenous
Speaker 6: peoples to identify and catalyze projects of national significance, Projects
Speaker 6: that will connect to Canada, that will deepen Canada's ties
Speaker 6: with the world, and that will create high paying jobs
Speaker 6: for generations. Given the pace of change and the scale
Speaker 6: of opportunities, speed is of the essence. Through the creation
Speaker 6: of a new major Federal Project Office, the time needed
Speaker 6: to approve a project will be reduced from five years
Speaker 6: to two, all while upholding Canada's world leading environmental standards
Speaker 6: and its constitutional obligations to indigenous peoples. The government will
Speaker 6: also strike cooperation agreements with every interested province and territory
Speaker 6: within six months to realize its goal of one project,
Speaker 6: one review. When Canadians come together, Canada builds things at last, eliminaces,
Speaker 6: obstacler kifre.
Speaker 4: By removing these barriers that have held back our economy,
Speaker 4: we will unleash a new era of growth that will
Speaker 4: ensure we don't just survive ongoing trade wars, but emerge
Speaker 4: from them stronger than ever. It will enable Canada to
Speaker 4: become the world's leading energy superpowered in both clean and
Speaker 4: conventional energy, to build an industrial strategy that will make
Speaker 4: Canada more globally competitive while fighting climate change, to build
Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of good careers in the skilled trades,
Speaker 4: and to build Canada into the world's leading hub for
Speaker 4: science and innovation.
Speaker 6: Critically, the government will undertake a series of measures to
Speaker 6: help double the rates of home building while creating an
Speaker 6: entirely new housing industry using Canadian technology, Canadian skilled workers.
Speaker 7: And Canadian lumber.
Speaker 6: The government will introduce measures to deliver affordable homes by
Speaker 6: creating Build Build Canada Homes. This mission driven organization will
Speaker 6: act to accelerate the development of new affordable housing. It
Speaker 6: will invest in the growth of the prefabricated and modular
Speaker 6: housing industry, and it will provide significant financing to affordable
Speaker 6: home builders. The government will make the housing market work better,
Speaker 6: including by cutting municipal development charges in half for all
Speaker 6: multi unit housing. The government will drive supply up to
Speaker 6: bring housing costs down. To be truly strong, Canada must
Speaker 6: be secure. To that end, the government will introduce legislation
Speaker 6: to enhance security at Canada's borders. Law and and intelligence
Speaker 6: agencies will have new tools to stop the flow of
Speaker 6: fentanyl and his precursors. The Canada Border Services agency will
Speaker 6: be given new powers to examine goods destined for export
Speaker 6: to prevent the transport of illegal and stolen products, including cars.
Speaker 7: Le gouvernment plots.
Speaker 4: The government will protect Canada's sovereignty by rebuilding, rearming, and
Speaker 4: reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces. It will boost Canada's
Speaker 4: defense industry by joining rearm Europe to invest in transatlantic
Speaker 4: security with Canada's European partners, and it will invest to
Speaker 4: strengthen its presence in the North as this region, which
Speaker 4: is an integral part of Canada, faces new threats.
Speaker 6: To protect Canadians and their sovereign rights from wherever challenges
Speaker 6: may come at home or abroad. To keep communities safe,
Speaker 6: the government will have a thousands more RCMPCE personnel. It
Speaker 6: will change firearms licensing and strengthen enforcement of yellow and
Speaker 6: red flag laws. Weapons licenses for those convicted of intimate
Speaker 6: partner violence and those subjects to protection orders will be revoked.
Speaker 6: Through the deployment of scanners, drones and helicopters, additional personnel
Speaker 6: and canine teams, the government will stem the tide of
Speaker 6: illegal guns and.
Speaker 7: Drugs across the border.
Speaker 6: It will take these steps while protecting the rights of
Speaker 6: law abiding gun owners and indigenous people's longstanding hunting traditions.
Speaker 6: The government will bring a renewed focus on car theft
Speaker 6: and home invasions by toughening the criminal code to make
Speaker 6: bail harder to get for repeat offenders charged with committing
Speaker 6: these crimes, along with human trafficking and drug smuggling. During
Speaker 6: this time of great change, Canadians are uniting behind what
Speaker 6: makes Canada unique.
Speaker 7: La lane from says in.
Speaker 4: The French language and the Quebec culture are at the
Speaker 4: heart of the Canadian identity. They define the country that
Speaker 4: Canadians and I love so much. Canada is a country
Speaker 4: that respects and celebrates its official languages and indigenous languages.
Speaker 4: The government is determined to protect the institutions that bring
Speaker 4: these cultures and this identity to the world, such as
Speaker 4: CBC Radio Canada. It will protect the people who give
Speaker 4: us access to fresh, healthy and quality food, agricultural producers,
Speaker 4: and it will protect supply management.
Speaker 6: Nature is core to Canada's identity. In twenty twenty two,
Speaker 6: Canada convened COP fifteen in Montreal, which concluded with one
Speaker 6: hundred and ninety six countries, striking a historic agreement to
Speaker 6: protect thirty percent of their lands and thirty percent of
Speaker 6: waters by twenty thirty. To this end, the government will
Speaker 6: protect more of Canada's nature than ever before through the
Speaker 6: creation of new National parks, national urban parks, marine protected areas,
Speaker 6: and other conservation initiatives. The government will always protect the
Speaker 6: rights and freedoms that the Charter guarantees for every Canadian.
Speaker 6: The government will be a reliable partner to Indigenous peoples,
Speaker 6: upholding its fundamental commitment to advancing reconciliation. Central to this
Speaker 6: commitment is the creation of long term wealth and prosperity
Speaker 6: with Indigenous peoples. For that reason, the government will double
Speaker 6: the Indigenous Loan Guarantee program from five billion dollars to
Speaker 6: ten billion dollars, enabling more Indigenous communities to become owners
Speaker 6: of major projects. As Canada moves forward with nation building projects,
Speaker 6: the government will always be firmly guided by the principle
Speaker 6: a free, prior and informed consent. Canada's immigration system has
Speaker 6: long been a source of pride for Canadians and of
Speaker 6: dynamism for the economy. The government is dedicated to rebuilding
Speaker 6: the trust of Canadians in immigration by restoring balance to
Speaker 6: the system.
Speaker 7: Luguvenimont and Storha.
Speaker 4: The government will cap the total number of temporary foreign
Speaker 4: workers and international students.
Speaker 7: To less.
Speaker 4: Than to less than five percent of Canada's population by
Speaker 4: twenty twenty seven. By doing this, the government will attract
Speaker 4: the best talent in the world to build our economy,
Speaker 4: while sending a clear message to Canadians working abroad that
Speaker 4: there is no better time to come home.
Speaker 7: Today's accion the governor.
Speaker 4: In all its actions. The government will be guided by
Speaker 4: a new fiscal discipline spend less so Canadians can invest.
Speaker 7: More day to day government spending.
Speaker 6: The government's operating budget has been growing by nine percent
Speaker 6: every year. The government will introduce measures to bring it
Speaker 6: below two percent. Transfers to provinces, territories, or individuals will
Speaker 6: be maintained. The government will balance its operating budget over
Speaker 6: the next three years by cutting waste, capping the public service,
Speaker 6: ending duplication, and deploying technology to improve public sector productivity.
Speaker 6: In parallel, the government will take a series of measures
Speaker 6: to catalyze new investments to create better jobs and hire
Speaker 6: incomes for Canadians. The scale of the government's initiative will
Speaker 6: match the challenges of our times and the ambitions of Canadians.
Speaker 6: Honorable Senators, Members of the House of Commons, when my
Speaker 6: dear late mother addressed your predecessors seven decades ago, she
Speaker 6: said that in that age, and against the backdrop of
Speaker 6: international affairs, no nation could live unto itself. It is
Speaker 6: a source of great pride that in the following decades
Speaker 6: Canada has continued to set an example to the world
Speaker 6: in her conduct and values as a force for good.
Speaker 4: Avou, I wish to express to you and to the
Speaker 4: people of Canada my heart felt gratitude and that of
Speaker 4: my wife for the warmth of the welcome which we
Speaker 4: have received.
Speaker 6: Some reminds us the true nose is indeed strong and free.
Speaker 6: Members of the House of Commons, you will be asked
Speaker 6: to appropriate the funds to carry out the services and
Speaker 6: expenditures authorized by Parliament. May you honor the profound trust
Speaker 6: bestowed upon you by Canadians, and make God bless and
Speaker 6: guide you in all your duties.
Speaker 9: Bout LeMond, I've had a chance to review the Throne Speech,
Speaker 9: and I have some primary remarks to make about it today.
Speaker 9: I must say that there's nothing really new in the
Speaker 9: Throne Speech. It's essentially the policies that the Liberals have
Speaker 9: announced for the past several months and broad platitudes. I
Speaker 9: will say there are some positive indications in that Throne
Speaker 9: speech that New Democrats can support. For example, we have
Speaker 9: long been supporters of building a strong, independent Canadian economy
Speaker 9: and supporting Canadian companies making Canadian goods and services and
Speaker 9: becoming champions on the global stage, creating good jobs here
Speaker 9: at home. And we also are very much in favor
Speaker 9: of building a diversified trade relationship so that Canada can
Speaker 9: take better advantage of exporting our goods and services with
Speaker 9: reliable trade partners and reducing our reliance on the United States.
Speaker 9: We are also pleased to see a commitment to promote
Speaker 9: more internal trade between Canadian provinces and territories and to
Speaker 9: facilitate labor mobility. We think that will help build a
Speaker 9: stronger domestic Canadian economy. And finally, I'm glad to see
Speaker 9: that housing is mentioned in the Throne speech. New Democrats
Speaker 9: have for decades been advocating for the federal government to
Speaker 9: play a stronger role in creating the millions of affordable
Speaker 9: homes that Canadians need from.
Speaker 10: Coast to coast to coast.
Speaker 9: I will say on the more negative side, this is
Speaker 9: not a worker centered Throne speech. And I'm also very
Speaker 9: concerned about what is not mentioned in the Throne speech.
Speaker 9: For example, the words healthcare are absent from the Throne speech.
Speaker 9: You won't find any reference to indigenous housing, perhaps the
Speaker 9: most acute need for affordable housing in the country within
Speaker 9: that important demographic group. And also we're not seeing any
Speaker 9: of the kinds of protections that we think Canadian workers
Speaker 9: need to have in the face of the threats that
Speaker 9: Donald Trump's tariffs present to our country. Finally, I'm i
Speaker 9: think most concerned about the economic message sent in this
Speaker 9: Throne speech. Essentially, they're cutting revenue to the federal government
Speaker 9: and at the same time saying they're going to keep
Speaker 9: spending to under two percent, which is the rate of
Speaker 9: inflation or maybe under inflation. That can only mean one
Speaker 9: thing for Canadians. It means a cut to the public
Speaker 9: services that Canadians rely on. And so we'll be working
Speaker 9: hard in the House to bring these messages to the
Speaker 9: floor of the House of Commons and advocating for the
Speaker 9: kinds of services that we need, the protections Canadian workers
Speaker 9: want and deserve, and to build the kind of Canadian
Speaker 9: economy that we know Canada is uh is so capable of,
Speaker 9: and that Canadians so richly deserve. I'll now turnover the
Speaker 9: mic to my colleague alexandle bou.

Speaker 5: This is.
Speaker 13: The king kind of saying that he wants the Canada
Speaker 13: will become an energy superpower in the Speech from the
Speaker 13: Throne and this you know the implications on resource development.
Speaker 9: Well, there was a passing reference to the being an
Speaker 9: energy superpower involving clean or renewable energy. Uh So to
Speaker 9: that degree, I think that that's a bit of an
Speaker 9: indication that the government recognizes that part of becoming an
Speaker 9: energy superpower in the twenty first century is becoming a
Speaker 9: leader in renewable energy and sustainable energy sources.
Speaker 10: But you know, that's something we're gonna have to watch carefully.
Speaker 9: I think, you know, Canadians want to see Canada meet
Speaker 9: our international obligations that we've signed, for instance in Paris
Speaker 9: and otherwise. I think Candams are very concerned about, you know,
Speaker 9: our carbon emissions and we're about to enter a season
Speaker 9: of where wildfires and floods have become the norm, and
Speaker 9: of course there's a huge economic cost to not dealing
Speaker 9: with climate change in that context. So we're gonna have
Speaker 9: to wait and see what the details are. You know,
Speaker 9: this budget was long on platitudes, short on details, and
Speaker 9: I think when we talk about such important issues, this
Speaker 9: is where we really have to focus efforts and find
Speaker 9: out exactly what they mean by this.
Speaker 8: What is your da si on speech committee in Canada
Speaker 8: to where rearmed Europe?
Speaker 9: Then well we haven't a chance to really look into
Speaker 9: what that really means for Canada.
Speaker 10: At this point. We'll be talking about that with our caucus.
Speaker 10: We'll have more to say about that. Mister Davis.
Speaker 14: When I was listening to this speech, I mean, you
Speaker 14: served under the last Harper government.
Speaker 1: You were here.
Speaker 14: The speech made me think of a Harper speech.
Speaker 12: From the throne.
Speaker 14: You know, in my colleague reference, no reference to climate change.
Speaker 14: We're talking about tough on crime, we're talking about defense planking.
Speaker 13: I wonder if you could reflect on.
Speaker 14: That and what you heard at this speech that made
Speaker 14: you think liberal government versus let's say, a government of
Speaker 14: a different partisans, Right, Yeah, I.
Speaker 9: Mean The phrase that came to my mind is that
Speaker 9: this is not a worker centered throne speech. I guess
Speaker 9: another way to put it is it also struck me
Speaker 9: as a bit of a conservative light thrown speech. I
Speaker 9: think you're quite right to identify that there's many provisions
Speaker 9: of this throne speech I could easily have been written
Speaker 9: by a conservative government. I suppose if I had to
Speaker 9: strain for a few areas that I think would differentiate it,
Speaker 9: it would be in housing. There is a reference there.
Speaker 9: There is a reference of protecting Canadian culture and for instance,
Speaker 9: institutions like the CBC Radio Canada. I think I think
Speaker 9: Canadians do want to have strong Canadian cultural institutions at
Speaker 9: this time. I think that's a differentiation as well. But fundamentally,
Speaker 9: from an economic point of view, this is a very
Speaker 9: conservative throne speech and I think it's going to be
Speaker 9: a very conservative government. And that's why new Democrats are
Speaker 9: going to be I think such an important voices Parliament
Speaker 9: to be pushing for progressive policies.
Speaker 10: I'll finish with one last little example.
Speaker 9: The only reference to pharmacare and deentalcare we're in protecting them.
Speaker 9: There is not a single reference to any expansion of
Speaker 9: of those programs at all. And again, as I mentioned,
Speaker 9: how could you have a Canadian throne speech that fails
Speaker 9: to even use the words healthcare. So these are very
Speaker 9: alarming omissions to me. They're deliberate, they're not accidental, and
Speaker 9: I think it shows why New Democrats voices are going
Speaker 9: to be so important in this minority.
Speaker 10: Parliament supporting the throne speech.
Speaker 9: We'll have to discuss the throne speech at our caucus
Speaker 9: meeting tomorrow. We'll make these decisions collectively, So we'll make
Speaker 9: that decision in the days ahead, said school in school, this.

Speaker 13: before I begin, let me thank my Deputy Leader Melissa Lanceman.
Speaker 13: We joined today in thanking his majesty for coming to
Speaker 13: Canada and delivering the throne speech, reinforcing our ancient, great
Speaker 13: British liberties of parliamentary system that goes back eight hundred years,
Speaker 13: a system that has served Canada well and has been
Speaker 13: the foundation of what I love to call the Canadian
Speaker 13: promise that anyone who works hard gets a great life
Speaker 13: in a nice, affordable house on a safe street. That's
Speaker 13: the promise that we use Conservatives ran to restore, and
Speaker 13: it's why we were able to get two million more
Speaker 13: votes and twenty four more seats. We inspired a lot
Speaker 13: of people that we would fight for those that Canadian
Speaker 13: promise and bring forward that hope. And then we were
Speaker 13: looking for that promise and that hope. In the speech today,
Speaker 13: we did see a lot of the right slogans and
Speaker 13: political talking points, but no clear plans to get it done.
Speaker 13: One slogan dealt with controlling government spending, but there were
Speaker 13: no specific savings to roll back the morbidly obese liberal
Speaker 13: government's costs. We saw promises about getting things built, but
Speaker 13: no mention of oil and gas or pipelines. Hipelines are,
Speaker 13: of course the thing we most need to build. Didn't
Speaker 13: get one mention, Nor did they mention getting rid of
Speaker 13: the anti energy laws that have kept our resources in
Speaker 13: the ground C. Sixty nine. Then no Development Law CE
Speaker 13: forty eight, the shipping BAM, the energy cap, the electric
Speaker 13: vehicle mandate, all of these things were left out of
Speaker 13: the speech altogether, no specific plans to get anything done,
Speaker 13: even though, as the Prime Minister said, we are in
Speaker 13: a crisis to break American break our dependence on the
Speaker 13: American economy. They mentioned crime, but refused to say that
Speaker 13: they would repeal the Liberal catch and release bail law C.
Speaker 13: Seventy five or the House arrest law laws that have
Speaker 13: allowed rampant chaos and crime to overtake our once tranquil streets.
Speaker 13: No mention of overcoming the opioid crisis and replacing tax
Speaker 13: funded drugs and legalization with treatment and recovery. No mention
Speaker 13: of real plans to get taxes under control by reducing
Speaker 13: the cost of government. So we're here to turn the
Speaker 13: government's talking points into real plans. We pledge to work
Speaker 13: with the government to repeal the anti energy law see
Speaker 13: sixty nine. Repeal the energy cap, the electric vehicle mandate,
Speaker 13: the offshore shipping ban. Let's get our pipelines building. Let's
Speaker 13: get our goods to markets other than the United States.
Speaker 13: We're here to propose cuts to bureaucracy, consultants, foreign aid,
Speaker 13: and corporate welfare so that we can bring down taxes, debt,
Speaker 13: and inflation. Let's repeal the catch and release laws so
Speaker 13: that we can restore safety to our streets. Let's invest
Speaker 13: in treatment and recovery to bring our loved ones home
Speaker 13: drug free. In other words, let's replace the talking points
Speaker 13: with real plans to get it done. That is what
Speaker 13: conservatives pledged to do. That is what Canadians voted for
Speaker 13: us to fight for, and that is what we will deliver.
Speaker 13: Thank you very much.
Speaker 5: There will support.
Speaker 10: This is from the throne if there's stuff you can
Speaker 10: support in it.
Speaker 13: There are some messages we want to see is plans,
Speaker 13: so we're going to put forward. We consider it to
Speaker 13: be a constructive amendment that will add very specific plans. So,
Speaker 13: for example, the government says they want to get projects built, great,
Speaker 13: we've got just the plan to do it.
Speaker 10: Repeal c.
Speaker 13: Sixty nine the anti development law, Repeal the energy cap,
Speaker 13: the offshore shipping ban, the electric vehicle mandate, and unlock
Speaker 13: the incredible investment that could bring jobs and self sufficiency
Speaker 13: to Canada. They say they want to reverse course on crime,
Speaker 13: Well we've got the plan for that too. We will
Speaker 13: put forward to an amendment that says that they should
Speaker 13: repeal see seventy five the catch and release bail law.
Speaker 13: They say they want they want to get their spending
Speaker 13: back kind of hilariously act under control after decades of overspending.
Speaker 13: Well we've got plans for that too, So our amendment
Speaker 13: will put real plan in place rather than slogans and
Speaker 13: talking points.
Speaker 12: This speech could have essentially been written by a conservative government.
Speaker 13: Do you agree, well, I would have written a different speech.
Speaker 13: So the the speech that I would have written would
Speaker 13: have would have said the things that I just said.
Speaker 14: Now you.
Speaker 7: Deputy to recal.
Speaker 13: He planned, he can't filed and pray and the scot.

Speaker 13: asked that question in a different way.
Speaker 14: Can we just just pick up a lot of this
Speaker 14: having the king whatever was meant to assert something about
Speaker 14: Canada to the world. Did you take that away from
Speaker 14: the speech and what do you think the impact of
Speaker 14: all that messaging is on how people perceive us, including
Speaker 14: but not limited to Donald Trump.
Speaker 7: You know, it's.
Speaker 13: It's been a centuries old debate between Canada's relationship primary
Speaker 13: relationship with the Crown and with our closest neighbor. We
Speaker 13: saw that as far back as John A. MacDonald. We
Speaker 13: saw it again in the free trade debate. I think
Speaker 13: it is important to reinforce the British traditions of our
Speaker 13: parliamentary democracy and to reassert that we have a centuries
Speaker 13: old friendship with the United Kingdom. Those traditions survive today.
Speaker 13: The place behind me right now is following many of
Speaker 13: the same rules that were scribbled on parchment hundreds of
Speaker 13: years ago in Britain. And all of course, this was
Speaker 13: the result of the Great Magna Carta, an eight hundred
Speaker 13: year old tradition that basically created liberty under the law.
Speaker 13: So I think it's important that the world recognized that
Speaker 13: we have those ancient traditions. The Americans recognize that we
Speaker 13: are an independent and free country that will make its
Speaker 13: own decisions. Thank you very much, everybody.
