Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to Depictions Media Radio. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Policy and Rights the show US welcomer Policy, Human Joys.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Policy and Rights Here Depictions Media Radio.
Speaker 1: I am your ho Michael clocks. So there are a
Speaker 1: number of things happening. Well, as Parliament had a session,
Speaker 1: of course, we're still hearing Pierre Poviier talk about the
Speaker 1: economy and how things are so affordable for Canadians. Well,
Speaker 1: he may have a point that some things are getting
Speaker 1: kind of pricey, but one of the things that I
Speaker 1: have noticed is the price of gas. And the reason
Speaker 1: why I bring up the price of gas is because
Speaker 1: the price of being able to fill a tank on
Speaker 1: a vehicle also affects some of the costs of deliveries
Speaker 1: of things like food, other clothing products and things that
Speaker 1: we wear that they do actually have an effect. Way,
Speaker 1: when those prices start to go down, you might see
Speaker 1: some other prices start to fall. Maybe not in this
Speaker 1: in the same proportion, but when fuel prices go down,
Speaker 1: other prices do tend to fall. So we have to
Speaker 1: ask our question. Ask this question is what Pierre Paubier
Speaker 1: is saying about the unaffordability of Canada. Propaganda or truth.
Speaker 1: We do have to decide that for ourselves. If you
Speaker 1: decide that as propaganda, you get a different set of
Speaker 1: answers then if you see it as strict on adult
Speaker 1: created truth. There are some other things that that are
Speaker 1: are looming. One that we still haven't seen this be
Speaker 1: completely being removed off the board filling tankers off the
Speaker 1: coast of British Columbia, and the path that they want
Speaker 1: those tankers to take in order to get to the
Speaker 1: port where they will be filled. One the path that
Speaker 1: the Conservative Party is saying this should be taken to
Speaker 1: the path that Alberta is saying should be taken, does
Speaker 1: not match what the path of the British Columbia, who
Speaker 1: knows their coastal waters better than anyone else, doesn't. The
Speaker 1: two paths do not match. There is a what one
Speaker 1: group of people with Alberta and the Conservatives are saying
Speaker 1: is a very fast path path and can get product
Speaker 1: straight out into the ocean and around the world faster
Speaker 1: is the most dangerous path. That path is a path
Speaker 1: that they could lead to potential disaster for the coastal
Speaker 1: businesses of British Columbia, rendering some of the tourism that
Speaker 1: actually draws people into British Columbia. Well, there would be
Speaker 1: no business left because if there is a Tarsan spill
Speaker 1: in those coastal waters, the Tarsan would take well longer
Speaker 1: than we have to be alive rate now in order
Speaker 1: to clean it up, which means that there would be
Speaker 1: how many businesses lost, beaches lost, tourism dollars lost to
Speaker 1: British Columbia, all because of a Tartsan beachumen spill. David
Speaker 1: Ebe at this point has has been steadfast with it,
Speaker 1: but there are some other things flowing around in Parliament
Speaker 1: that could affect how effective David eb could be in
Speaker 1: stopping these tankers from being off the coast of British
Speaker 1: Columbia and ruining the the beaches, the businesses and one
Speaker 1: of the British Columbia Lower mainland way of life. Not
Speaker 1: to mention the wildlife that would be affected, the the
Speaker 1: the orca, the and other other marine mammals such as seals,
Speaker 1: the BirdLife that would that would be affected because of
Speaker 1: the the lack of fish. Oh, we mentioned the fish too,
Speaker 1: and the and possibly the the the salmon that would
Speaker 1: be affected. So there's a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: disaster that could happen if they take the path that
Speaker 1: Alberta once. One of the things that is looming around
Speaker 1: Ottawa right now is a bill that would fast track
Speaker 1: projects and eliminate a lot of conversation, a lot of planning.
Speaker 1: The project would just move forward with reckless abandonment. And
Speaker 1: that that bill does need to not be put in place,
Speaker 1: But if that bill is put in place, it could
Speaker 1: circumvent other environmental arguments because it would eliminate some of
Speaker 1: the environmental studies that would be done in order to
Speaker 1: make a project viable under the idea of fast tracking,
Speaker 1: so that we protect the economy and that we caused
Speaker 1: more economic growth in the world. If we're causing more
Speaker 1: economic growth in the world, but we're ruining the land
Speaker 1: that we need to live on, then that is a
Speaker 1: sacrifice isn't worth having. And this is some of the
Speaker 1: issues that we're going to hear. We might hear some
Speaker 1: of that from Elizabeth may As. She is one of
Speaker 1: the people who we have recorded. We also have a
Speaker 1: Liberal MP that there's recorded. He's talking about another set
Speaker 1: of bills that are that are out there, and we're
Speaker 1: going to hear of some of the debate that happened
Speaker 1: on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. So why don't we get started,
Speaker 1: And we're going to listen to Elizabeth May first as
Speaker 1: she talks about some of the things that with some
Speaker 1: of the bills that she thinks are kind of scary
Speaker 1: if they're put into law.
Speaker 2: So thank you, bon to lamone and someone uncle EZI.
Speaker 2: So we're back in happy twenty twenty six. It sure
Speaker 2: isn't twenty fifteen anymore. And as the head of the
Speaker 2: IMF said recently in Davos, We're not in Kansas anymore.
Speaker 2: I'm as leader of the Green Party, Elizabeth May and
Speaker 2: Member Apartment for Sanatigo Violence. Wanted to address the immediate
Speaker 2: concerns we have for this session. It was funny how
Speaker 2: my friend Steve McKinnon didn't mention the bill that worries
Speaker 2: me the most right now is we're gathered together. Although
Speaker 2: I think Chaponscu de la Lampleymantacion de bouge Uh the
Speaker 2: Budget Implementation Act. Unfortunately, I do carry it with me
Speaker 2: to make sure I can point out the sections that
Speaker 2: bother me. But it is over six hundred pages long.
Speaker 2: It is the ultimate of omnibus budget bills. It changes
Speaker 2: twenty other laws, and it hasn't been properly studied at all.
Speaker 2: There were a number of really controversial pieces of legislation
Speaker 2: that carried at second reading through the fall, and members
Speaker 2: of the Ottawa Corps will know what it means when
Speaker 2: I say they passed on division vote le vote de
Speaker 2: de Deputy Shaka, so I wasn't allowed to vote against
Speaker 2: or for Bill C twelve, one of the ones that
Speaker 2: the government House Leader just identified as one of their
Speaker 2: big priorities. Bill C twelve doesn't ensure safe borders, but
Speaker 2: it does ensure that refugee rights are infringed.
Speaker 3: And I'm not alone.
Speaker 2: The Association of Refugee Lawyers of Canada has said also
Speaker 2: that this violates Canada's international commitments to international refugee law.
Speaker 2: In any case, that bill went through quote unquote on
Speaker 2: division at second rating, which meant I couldn't register my
Speaker 2: vote against it, and when it was ultimately bundled together
Speaker 2: with other bills on the last day when Parliament met,
Speaker 2: which was December eleventh. Our last day was supposed to
Speaker 2: be December twelfth. You'll recallably adjourned a day early based
Speaker 2: on the unanimous consent motion that rushed through a number
Speaker 2: of bills altogether by unanimous consent. All I could do
Speaker 2: was say to mister McKinnon's office and others, I'll be
Speaker 2: voting no. This created some amount of concern because unanimous
Speaker 2: consent means what it sounds like, and one member of
Speaker 2: Parliament who doesn't agree means your unanimous consent motion isn't
Speaker 2: going to work. So in negotiating with Liberal House Leader
Speaker 2: and Deputy House Leader, they said, would you what's the problem.
Speaker 2: My problem isn't that I don't want everybody to catch
Speaker 2: the planes they've now booked to go home a day early.
Speaker 2: My problem is that it seems wrong that I don't
Speaker 2: get to record my vote against Bill C twelve and
Speaker 2: on other bills that where I would see four where
Speaker 2: I would register concern and vote against them. So what
Speaker 2: happened was they amended the unanimous consent motion to end
Speaker 2: with noting the opposition of the Honorable Member for Sanategulf violence.
Speaker 2: But there's been a degree an erosion of parliamentary democracy
Speaker 2: in this place since the election. That passes mostly unnoticed
Speaker 2: because parliamentary democracy doesn't get a lot of attention even
Speaker 2: in the best of times, and this isn't the best
Speaker 2: of times, bills are passed without proper study, notably Bill
Speaker 2: C five, which had a programming motion that was breathtakingly
Speaker 2: anti democratic back in June. We now have the passage
Speaker 2: also of Bill C twelve first on division, which means
Speaker 2: for viewers that when debate collapses, in other words, there's
Speaker 2: no more speakers to speak to it, the speaker says,
Speaker 2: so it now passes on division. And the only members
Speaker 2: of Parliament who can object and say we want a
Speaker 2: recorded vote on this are members of what's called a
Speaker 2: recognized party, which in this case is in this parliament Liberals,
Speaker 2: Conservatives or the block in Anton pass a home is
Speaker 2: the DUIs de deputy sank deputy to sank deputy Ultra
Speaker 2: pati de pati plu petit ensemble so ex vote register.
Speaker 2: So when I was first elected in twenty eleven, I
Speaker 2: never knew I was lucky then. But there were four
Speaker 2: members of the block Quebecua not a recognized party, and
Speaker 2: me Green Party, not a recognized party. But the rule
Speaker 2: then was five members of apartament could stand up and
Speaker 2: demand a recorded vote. We can't do that anymore. Those
Speaker 2: rules changed during COVID, so we have seven dpmps and
Speaker 2: me who generally on these votes on division. Who knows
Speaker 2: how people would have voted, because on division means it's
Speaker 2: gone through now. You can't do on division at third
Speaker 2: reading and at report stage. But they bundled those together
Speaker 2: in the unanimous consent motion on December eleventh, So the
Speaker 2: House ended quickly on December tenth, the debate on this monster.
Speaker 2: Bill C fifteen, the Budget Implementation Act, past second reading
Speaker 2: on division. Now I hope that the Speaker and the
Speaker 2: Government will agree that a bill that touches this many
Speaker 2: other pieces of legislation need to go to more than
Speaker 2: one committee. As things now stand, since Bill C fifteen,
Speaker 2: the Budget Implementation Bill, passed on division on December tenth,
Speaker 2: it's now ready to second reading. It's now ready to
Speaker 2: go to the Committee for study. The Committee to study
Speaker 2: it is designated as the Finance Committee. But there are
Speaker 2: many sections in here that should go to other committees
Speaker 2: for proper study. And if I can point out one
Speaker 2: thing that's of concern, and I did see just this
Speaker 2: week a coalition of organizations from and individuals David Suzuki
Speaker 2: but also Council of Canadians and also Sierra Club and
Speaker 2: a Greenpeace, a number of organizations saying what's this here?
Speaker 2: Does Division five of Bill C fifteen is amendments to
Speaker 2: the Red Tape Reduction Act. If you're unfamiliar with them,
Speaker 2: you find the pages three or I did have this
Speaker 2: my question and Question period on December ninth, So I
Speaker 2: am the only member of Partiment who's raised this so
Speaker 2: far in this place to say, can the Minister of
Speaker 2: Finance explain why any minister is going to be aglowed
Speaker 2: to exempt any entity from the operation of any federal
Speaker 2: law within their area. A minister, any minister can exempt
Speaker 2: any entity from any federal law in their jurisdiction if
Speaker 2: they think it's in the public interest, and there are
Speaker 2: no criteria in the bill to tell us what would
Speaker 2: direct the minister's attention to think it's in the public interest.
Speaker 2: I won't go on about it at this point, just
Speaker 2: to say it's a priority for me to the Green
Speaker 2: Party and I think for Canadians across the country to
Speaker 2: have amendments to Bill C fifteen, the Budget Implementation Act.
Speaker 2: I have some other concerns with other sections of this Act,
Speaker 2: but certainly I want to see Division five the Red
Speaker 2: Tape Production Act substantially amended, if not deleted, Division five
Speaker 2: of Bill C fifteen. We're looking at a lot of
Speaker 2: other bills that we still have not had properly studied.
Speaker 2: In this place, things moved fast, as I said, with
Speaker 2: decisions on division and no study or virtually no study
Speaker 2: in committees. I hope that as mister Carney gets more
Speaker 2: accommodated to his role as a parliamentarian, that Parliament will
Speaker 2: be more respected. I'm particularly concerned as well, and I'll
Speaker 2: be asking the Auditor General to look into this. A
Speaker 2: number of the newly created entities that have been created
Speaker 2: since the election, things like the Build Canada Homes and
Speaker 2: the Major Project's Office and the Office to Organize Defense Procurement,
Speaker 2: are not organized as one would expect within a relevant
Speaker 2: department reporting to a minister, but are special operating agencies
Speaker 2: under Treasury Board regulation and thus are under Treasury Board
Speaker 2: confidentiality for things like their work plans, their budgets, their
Speaker 2: special operating agencies, which is of concern for me because
Speaker 2: of the lack of transparency that goes with being a
Speaker 2: special operating agency. I certainly will be pressing this government
Speaker 2: to see where is the climate plan. I heard there
Speaker 2: was reference to it today that it's not just that
Speaker 2: the current climate plan has been changed. There is no
Speaker 2: current climate plan. Much of what the previous government had
Speaker 2: in place has been removed, nothing new has been added.
Speaker 2: And regardless of what we may say about the MoU
Speaker 2: with Alberta's, the current government doesn't have a climate plan
Speaker 2: and that's quite unacceptable this far into their mandate. So
Speaker 2: I think at that point out having really skimbling the
Speaker 2: surface of the things we'll be pushing for, will remain
Speaker 2: vigilant on human rights. That's why I can't support Bill
Speaker 2: C twelve. I was horrified that that be the one bill,
Speaker 2: one of the three bills that our government House Leader
Speaker 2: friend Steve McKinnon mentioned that one needed proper study, particularly
Speaker 2: in the ways it infringes on refugee rights. But don't
Speaker 2: forget that C twelve took portions of what was originally
Speaker 2: introduced as Bill C two. Bill C too. The Strong
Speaker 2: Borders is still on the order paper, and now that
Speaker 2: they have forced through with the unanimous consent motion the
Speaker 2: last stages of C twelve in this place, one would
Speaker 2: expect that they're going to because Gary and Desangri said
Speaker 2: C two isn't dead, it's not being withdrawn. Those were
Speaker 2: the portions of the Strong Border Act that remain once
Speaker 2: you take out what passed in C twelve for warrantless
Speaker 2: opening of mail and warrantless access to Internet information. So
Speaker 2: I expect that we'll also see a new version of
Speaker 2: C two but for the ones that I'd also say
Speaker 2: that Steve McKinnon is very busy and I hope that
Speaker 2: in his role as Transport Minister, he will bring back
Speaker 2: the bill that died on the order paper, Bill C
Speaker 2: thirty three, that was ready to go to be passed.
Speaker 2: It had gone through clause by clause and committee that
Speaker 2: would ban the export of thermal coal from Canada and
Speaker 2: give us more protection for inland waterways. The job of
Speaker 2: a Minister of Transportation is a full time job, and
Speaker 2: it's obviously I have a lot of sympathy for mister
Speaker 2: McKinnon and his role. I also have sympathy for the
Speaker 2: Prime Minister who wants to be dealing with the President
Speaker 2: of the United States, who's petulant and sends out notices
Speaker 2: that are on his social media account to say I'm
Speaker 2: now uninviting you this take this letter. I think what
Speaker 2: it says, take this letter is representing that you've now
Speaker 2: lost your I mean, I don't know. Donald Trump obviously
Speaker 2: writes his own tweets. I suppose he's imagining that he
Speaker 2: ever went to law school and he thinks this is
Speaker 2: how somebody who's smart would write a letter. It's not.
Speaker 2: But that's all right. I do accept that our Prime
Speaker 2: minister is very smart, and I'm sure he wrote his
Speaker 2: own speech for Demos. It was well written, it was
Speaker 2: well constructed, it was rightly celebrated. But it does not
Speaker 2: represent a vision for Canada, and no cinep vision mondial
Speaker 2: sit situn declara, mondiel actual mont. It's a statement of
Speaker 2: how things are in the world right now. I want
Speaker 2: Canada to step up and participate in saying what does
Speaker 2: the new world order look like? And it's foundationally the
Speaker 2: United Nations Charter, and it's foundationally respect for human rights
Speaker 2: and working with other democracies and not deciding that will
Speaker 2: jettison human rights in exchange for trade deals. I'll close
Speaker 2: there and happy to answer any questions metal and vegetimity.
Speaker 4: The government should do for Bill C nine.
Speaker 2: Bill C nine, I think the parts that are offensive
Speaker 2: to me, Okay, let me break it up. I don't
Speaker 2: see any problem with Bill C nine in terms of
Speaker 2: and I'm getting inundated. A lot of constituents, a lot
Speaker 2: of Canadians are outraged at the idea that people are
Speaker 2: no longer protected from hate speech if they're citing from
Speaker 2: sacred texts. That doesn't trouble me as much. I think
Speaker 2: that can be amended and clarified in terms of what
Speaker 2: ways in which you're protected or not protected. The part
Speaker 2: that bothers me more is the delegitimizing of lawful charter
Speaker 2: protected rights to protest if without your knowledge, you happen
Speaker 2: to be within blocks of a place of worship that
Speaker 2: you didn't know was there, and behind you someone's holding
Speaker 2: a flag that you didn't know was there. So I
Speaker 2: think that Se nine could use reworking for sure. But
Speaker 2: the parts, I mean, there's sections of Leviticus. As a
Speaker 2: practicing Christian, I would never stand up and say these
Speaker 2: are my beliefs. This section of Leviticus, which is horrific.
Speaker 2: I mean there's lots. You can find anything you want.
Speaker 2: The Bible's big, so you can beat your swords into plowshares,
Speaker 2: or if you feel like it, you can beat your
Speaker 2: plowshares into swords. They're both in there. So cherry picking
Speaker 2: from the Bible to defend hateful speech isn't a good
Speaker 2: idea any more than it is from a Quran. It's
Speaker 2: important to respect religious freedoms and every Canadian's right to
Speaker 2: worship as they wish to worship. And I think that
Speaker 2: C nine has become a flashpoint for the wrong reason.
Speaker 5: If you were heading to a snap election in the spring.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, primarily because well, the Liberals would.
Speaker 2: I thought, okay, in the back of my head as
Speaker 2: I was struggling with this bill. Obviously the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: five budget, which they didn't use disappearing inc it still
Speaker 2: says the things they promised me. They're gone in the
Speaker 2: mlu But never mind. When I was struggling with that,
Speaker 2: I thought, in the back room somewhere, the Liberals want
Speaker 2: an election. Not necessarily, mister Carneie, not necessary, it's just Champagne.
Speaker 2: But it would suit them to be able to say
Speaker 2: we only got elected in April. These awful people in Parliament,
Speaker 2: and I think most Canadians would agree Parliament looks pretty awful.
Speaker 2: Have kept us from fulfilling our mandate. Surely we should
Speaker 2: have been given the benefit of the doubt. In that context,
Speaker 2: that snap election in December I think would have resulted
Speaker 2: in a Liberal majority, so I think some of them
Speaker 2: were looking for it, but they were meanwhile counting up
Speaker 2: their votes on people who would cross the floor. There
Speaker 2: may be more floor crossers still. I think that might
Speaker 2: be a preferred mo for the Liberals at this point,
Speaker 2: is to get a majority through floor crossing. We know
Speaker 2: they worked aggressively over it on specific MPs over the holidays.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens if more joined them through floor crossings.
Speaker 2: But they've got a more imminent problem, which is that
Speaker 2: they've with Christian Freeland's resignation from Parliament, they're going to
Speaker 2: need a by election. There are other Liberals rumored to
Speaker 2: be leaving soon. A set of spring by elections. I
Speaker 2: think we can take that to the bank. But a
Speaker 2: snap election a spring possible, but I don't think likely.
Speaker 2: There's enough reasons that the Liberals wouldn't want to take
Speaker 2: the chance. Uh And as things now stand, their polling
Speaker 2: so high and Mark Karney is still wearing teflon, so
Speaker 2: it'll take a while for that to wear down.
Speaker 6: There you're coming pout.
Speaker 7: National who only but confidence the relaunis. But what vo
Speaker 7: that you who know the designs really.
Speaker 2: No, actually monster the purposive from whatever confidence but the

Speaker 2: The declaration that Grand Christes pascoro. We I haven't had
Speaker 2: any explanation. No one from the Prime Minister's office has
Speaker 2: said we should talk to you about how come the
Speaker 2: things we said we would do are now vanished into
Speaker 2: thin air. We have a really good explanation. Can't talk
Speaker 2: to you now, but we'll get back to you. Nothing
Speaker 2: there's not part and still more need excuse.
Speaker 8: Bill C fifteen, the Budget Implementation Act, is currently in
Speaker 8: the committee and if it doesn't have the amendments that
Speaker 8: you are demanding, would you would you support the bill.
Speaker 2: And not a chance I don't support. The ministers of
Speaker 2: this government get the right as individuals to exempt anyone
Speaker 2: they see fit to exempt from the operation of a
Speaker 2: federal law. And then the bill says, I read it,
Speaker 2: we'll make this public as soon as it is feasible,
Speaker 2: there's no deadline on that, and will provide the reasons
Speaker 2: we did this. But we don't have to provide all
Speaker 2: the reasons. We don't have to say anything we think
Speaker 2: is confidential. This is not cabinet. C five was bad
Speaker 2: enough that Cabinet as a whole could decide this is
Speaker 2: a project of national significance and therefore it can break
Speaker 2: other laws. This is an individual minister. There's not a
Speaker 2: chance in the world that if Division five the Red
Speaker 2: Tape Production Act in C. Fifteen reads as it does now,
Speaker 2: that I could possibly vote for it. But there's also
Speaker 2: other sections that concern me. I don't know why they're
Speaker 2: amending the International River's Improvement Act or the Wildlife Act,
Speaker 2: why these things need to be amended in C. Fifteen,
Speaker 2: But we will certainly be digging into it and providing
Speaker 2: multiple amendments. But again, it's only to the Finance committee
Speaker 2: that touches many other areas of public policy. I also
Speaker 2: can't support Bill C fourteen which has had which is
Speaker 2: the reverse onus on bail provisions. And I certainly can't
Speaker 2: support Well, we'll see what happens with how they reintroduced
Speaker 2: Bill C two, which was the Strong Borters Act. There's
Speaker 2: a lot that the government has put forward and the
Speaker 2: ones that still remain to be reviewed. I could support
Speaker 2: C sixteen, especially as it relates to intimate partner violence,
Speaker 2: but the idea in C fourteen and this passed on division.
Speaker 2: By the way, Bill C fourteen that puts a reverse
Speaker 2: onus on someone requesting bail violates fundamental principles that go
Speaker 2: back hundreds of years of British common law understanding of
Speaker 2: innocent until proven guilty. So there's a lot here to
Speaker 2: deal with. It's in some ways it's been a very
Speaker 2: thin legislative agenda. It's the election, but the things that
Speaker 2: have been carried so far are quite appalling. I think
Speaker 2: we're going to need much more time in the committee.
Speaker 2: Not that I'm against it, but by the way, if
Speaker 2: you look at C fifteen, at the expropriation rules around
Speaker 2: high speed rail, those should take a full amount of study,
Speaker 2: and they should be in the Transport Committee and not
Speaker 2: in the Finance Committee. But there's it's long, complicated and
Speaker 2: it requires more than the kind of non review we've
Speaker 2: had in committees up to this point. And in any case,
Speaker 2: C fifteen is the Budget Implementation Act. Is appalling in
Speaker 2: thinking that it's okay to put forward the notion that
Speaker 2: in order to cut red tape, an individual minister can
Speaker 2: exempt an entity from the operation of federal law.
Speaker 9: You use teflon to describe Prime Minister Carneie. Do you
Speaker 9: really feel that way given the fact that it's possible
Speaker 9: that looks like he's being pleased by both China and
Speaker 9: the US at the same time, And how do you
Speaker 9: think he'll do well?
Speaker 2: I think what I was talking about is domestic politics.
Speaker 2: Canadians want a leader that can stand up to Trump.
Speaker 2: We wanted elbows up. I think for a while there
Speaker 2: it looked like mister Karney had lost his elbows and
Speaker 2: he found them in Davos in rhetorical sense, so that's good.
Speaker 2: Being squeezed by China and indiot doesn't have anything to
Speaker 2: do with teflon. Within the Canadian public opinion polling, mister
Speaker 2: Carney is doing extremely well. Canadians are giving him their
Speaker 2: confidence and as he climbs, mister Qualia falls further behind.
Speaker 2: And it's not a two party system as much as
Speaker 2: the Liberals and Conservatives would like that. We need to
Speaker 2: see who does the NDP choose as their next leader.
Speaker 2: The Green Parties in good shape. I'm really pleased that
Speaker 2: we are important my colleagues and the NDP. It'd be
Speaker 2: a while before they consider, but we have We're debt free,
Speaker 2: got money in the bank. If there's an election, so
Speaker 2: be it. We have candidates nominated, especially in those ridings
Speaker 2: like my deputy leader, Mike Morris and Kitchener Center. A
Speaker 2: snap election would benefit us because we could get more
Speaker 2: Greens selected more quickly. But in the meantime, the Canadians
Speaker 2: don't want a snap election and I think that will constrain.
Speaker 2: Never forget where mister Sheer and Scott Read, my dear friend,
Speaker 2: were during the budget vote in hiding behind the curtains.
Speaker 2: That wasn't a bad move because given that we can
Speaker 2: now have remote voting on our voting app, it's no
Speaker 2: longer easy to count up the votes and figure out
Speaker 2: which way things are going. So the number of MPs
Speaker 2: who weren't in the room to stand and be counted
Speaker 2: as they voted on the budget, which is why I
Speaker 2: was physically in the room to stand and be counted.
Speaker 2: I think that there'll be enough people who would the
Speaker 2: notion of a spring election will be either in real
Speaker 2: life hide behind the curtains, or in some other way
Speaker 2: make sure there's no election, because particularly the NDP and
Speaker 2: the Conservatives don't want one right now. The party that
Speaker 2: would want one would be Greens or Liberals.
Speaker 10: That's fere not Minister Mckinnonnham saying that he thinks Parliament
Speaker 10: can function, but he lays all that responsibility with Pierre Pouliev.
Speaker 10: Just what do you make of that framing coming from
Speaker 10: the Government House leader.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a surprise. I mean again, the Liberals
Speaker 2: and the Conservatives both would like this to be a
Speaker 2: two party system. And the way the April election carried
Speaker 2: out and played out the narrative, and I'm not blaming
Speaker 2: the people's standing for everybody, You'll agree, the narrative in
Speaker 2: the media and the narrative in the large party advertising
Speaker 2: was here are your choices. As if we're a presidential
Speaker 2: country where you go to the polls and you expect
Speaker 2: a ballot, it says Mark Kearney Pierre Produev that ballot
Speaker 2: doesn't exist anywhere on the planet or certainly nowhere within Canada.
Speaker 2: So it will be an ongoing problem to remind Canadians. Look,
Speaker 2: it's critical that we keep this a multi party parliament.
Speaker 2: It's been a multi party parliament since the late eighteen hundreds,
Speaker 2: it always has been, and minority parliaments can serve us well.
Speaker 2: So again, anytime that a Liberal wants to reinforce, it's
Speaker 2: us or quaiev and anytime the Conservatives want to emphasize,
Speaker 2: it's us or the Liberals. Again, it's typical. No surprise.
Speaker 6: Updates on Green Parties leadership race in becoming meet.
Speaker 2: So oh yes, well, I'm not on the committee that's
Speaker 2: making those decisions, but I know they're meeting regularly, so
Speaker 2: there will be an announcement and I don't know when,
Speaker 2: but I would I think it's I don't want to
Speaker 2: go out and a limit say something that I'm my
Speaker 2: guess would be, and I have to be honest with
Speaker 2: you as a guest, is that the leadership race will
Speaker 2: be in and done within calendar twenty twenty six. And
Speaker 2: I'll be very happy at an in person convention to
Speaker 2: stand there and say I'm now passing the torch to
Speaker 2: either a team of co leaders or a new sole leader.
Speaker 2: And with having used the leadership race to expand and
Speaker 2: build the party more so, I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: But I don't know the dates because they haven't been
Speaker 2: selected yet. Yeah, Mercy, and please have a look at
Speaker 2: pages three oh one to three oh four of the
Speaker 2: six hundred page plus Bill C fifteen and see if
Speaker 2: if you don't think it's quite a shocking approach to
Speaker 2: governance to say any individual minister can exempt any entity
Speaker 2: from a law in their jurisdiction if they think it's
Speaker 2: in the public interest by themselves one minister. Shocking. Thank
Speaker 2: you very much, Mercy.
Speaker 11: Good morning, Dad Ramon Melci, thanks for being here today

Speaker 11: remtna al ris. Last week in Davos, Prime Minister Carne
Speaker 11: delivered a speech on the international stage that was both
Speaker 11: forthright and honest. Conservative leader Pierre Poliev effectively said the
Speaker 11: Prime Minister's speech was quote, well crafted and eloquently delivered unquote.
Speaker 11: Mister Polieve added that Conservatives are as always willing to
Speaker 11: work with the Prime Minister to to quote, turn these
Speaker 11: words into action. Well, now he has an opportunity to
Speaker 11: do just that, to work with us in the House
Speaker 11: of Commons, to collaborate. We will take him at his
Speaker 11: word and accept his outreached hand to work together at
Speaker 11: this very challenging time in our nation's history.
Speaker 6: Now that means some tangible things.
Speaker 11: He's going to have to apply himself to this, to
Speaker 11: work constructively on legislation and not obstruct to move ahead
Speaker 11: with legislation in the House and in committees, including quickly
Speaker 11: adopt a bill to provide immediate grocery relief to Canadians.
Speaker 11: In his letter to the Prime Minister last week, mister
Speaker 11: Polyff stated that he would fast track ideas that make
Speaker 11: food affordable. He has that chance with these brand new
Speaker 11: affordability measures that you heard the Prime Minister announce moments ago.
Speaker 11: He also has an opportunity to quickly expedite the Carnie Plan.
Speaker 11: The Budget Implementation Act, an act to grow our economy,
Speaker 11: to create opportunities in new markets, and to get and
Speaker 11: secure a trillion dollars of new investment in this country.
Speaker 11: We want mister Polyev to commit to a reasonable timeline
Speaker 11: for debate at report stage and third reading in the
Speaker 11: House of Commons. This legislation provides important assistance to grow
Speaker 11: our economy, to create jobs and help Canadians with these
Speaker 11: challenging times. Additionally, we call on mister Polyev to tell
Speaker 11: Conservative Senators to stay out of the way of passage
Speaker 11: of Bill C four, which provides an income tax cut
Speaker 11: to Canadians, a GSC housing rebate, and which formally eliminates
Speaker 11: the consumer carbon tax. We want Conservative senators to stay
Speaker 11: out of the way of this legislation. The Conservatives slow
Speaker 11: walk to this bill as all of you know in
Speaker 11: Parliament in the fall, and we want to make sure
Speaker 11: Conservative senators don't do the same thing.
Speaker 6: Pargayer.
Speaker 11: Mister Poliev should also support the quick passage of Bills
Speaker 11: C fourteen and C sixteen, important justice legislation before the
Speaker 11: House currently and before committees, obviously to protect victims of crime,
Speaker 11: reform the bail system, address extortion and child pornography.
Speaker 6: He should finally.
Speaker 11: Support giving police the tools they need with a fair
Speaker 11: and reasonable lawful access regime. It's time for the Conservatives
Speaker 11: to put up or shut up on crime. A suite
Speaker 11: and historic suite of legislation to deal with crime in
Speaker 11: our communities is before Parliament and we are telling mister
Speaker 11: Poliev get out of the way, free your MPs to
Speaker 11: vote for this legislation that will deal with.
Speaker 6: Crime in Canadian communities.
Speaker 11: We also call on mister Pouliev to ensure to assure
Speaker 11: Canadians that Conservative senators do not hold up passage of
Speaker 11: another piece of crime legislation, Bill C twelve, which secures
Speaker 11: our borders and improves our immigration system. Now, all of
Speaker 11: the issues that I've outlined are things that Conservatives have
Speaker 11: called for, including Canadians, maybe especially Canadians in Conservative ridings.
Speaker 11: These are tangible things that mister Pouliev could do right
Speaker 11: now if he is serious about working together for Canadians.
Speaker 11: We are willing to have the house sit extended hours
Speaker 11: this week, next week, as long as it takes, if required,
Speaker 11: to make progress. This is a time of anxiety for
Speaker 11: many Canadians. Start anxiety plas amb de canadien. Throughout our
Speaker 11: towns and cities, many of our neighbors share the same worry.
Speaker 11: How will I afford the cost of living? How secure
Speaker 11: is my job an economy and a trading environment that
Speaker 11: is rapidly changing. Safe am I on the streets of
Speaker 11: my community? And how safe is my country in a
Speaker 11: world where instability and conflict has become all too commonplace?
Speaker 11: And how does Canada adjust to a new world where
Speaker 11: we can no longer count on trading relationships of the
Speaker 11: past that brought us economic prosperity here at home. Voila
Speaker 11: de casac These are all important questions. Last week in Davos,
Speaker 11: Prime Minister Carne outlined Canada's approach to the new world reality,
Speaker 11: one that is both principled and pragmatic. And since taking
Speaker 11: office last spring, our government has moved rapidly to improve
Speaker 11: the lives of Canadians and strengthen our place in the world.
Speaker 11: Among other things, the Carney Plan cuts income taxes for
Speaker 11: millions of Canadians, cuts taxes on capital gains and business investment,
Speaker 11: removes all federal barriers to enter provincial trade, fast tracks
Speaker 11: a trillion with a t dollars of investment in energy,
Speaker 11: AI and critical minerals. Doubles are defense spending by twenty
Speaker 11: thirty and rapidly diversifies trade markets abroad. We have a
Speaker 11: brand new comprehensive strategic partnership with the European Union on defense.
Speaker 11: We've signed twelve other trade and security deals on four continents.
Speaker 11: In recent days. We have concluded new strategic partnerships with
Speaker 11: China and cutter and we are currently negotiating free trade
Speaker 11: packs with India, Assian, Thailand and Philippines. In short, the
Speaker 11: Prime Minister has outlined to his fellow world leaders the
Speaker 11: path we are now on as Canadians. The primimnist at
Speaker 11: Patajeevich leschevdeta Ottolgemone Lavois and nustrevan at Tulma Antanka Cannadie.
Speaker 6: It is in this time of crisis.
Speaker 11: This is the leadership the Canadians asked for when they
Speaker 11: elected a new government last April.
Speaker 6: And now with the.
Speaker 11: Sitting of the House, they're turning to their parliamentarians to
Speaker 11: show leadership. They can aden tone valle palamata de mantri
Speaker 11: no de labstruction made you leadership. We believe now it's

Speaker 11: Poliev to make good on his promise. Beyond the bills
Speaker 11: I've mentioned, there will be many more pieces of important
Speaker 11: legislation to implement mister Carney's plan for Canada in the
Speaker 11: coming weeks. Just earlier this morning, the Prime Minister announced
Speaker 11: a broad package of measures to make groceries and other
Speaker 11: essentials more affordable. That includes legislation for the new Canada
Speaker 11: Groceries and Essentials Benefit formerly known as the GST credit.
Speaker 11: The government is increasing its amount by twenty five percent
Speaker 11: for five years beginning this July, and in addition to that,
Speaker 11: we're providing a one time payment equivalent to a fifty
Speaker 11: percent increase this year. Combined, that means a family of
Speaker 11: four will receive up to eighteen hundred and ninety dollars
Speaker 11: this year and about fourteen hundred dollars a year for
Speaker 11: the next four years, and a single person will receive
Speaker 11: up to nine hundred and fifty dollars this year and
Speaker 11: about seven hundred dollars a year for the next four years.
Speaker 11: The new benefit will provide additional significant support for more
Speaker 11: than twelve million Canadians. There should be no delay, no
Speaker 11: delay in moving ahead with this measure. We'll be counting
Speaker 11: on mister Polyev and the Conservatives to pass this bill
Speaker 11: quickly so to sum up MP's will have a busy
Speaker 11: agenda before them this winter and this spring. Canadians expect
Speaker 11: no less than for parliament parliamentarians to get to work
Speaker 11: and pass the Carni Plan. I will be working very
Speaker 11: hard every day to get things done for Canadians. Javit

Speaker 10: Minister, Kay, you didn't mention Bill C nine the hate
Speaker 10: speech lines one of the bills you want conservative help on.
Speaker 10: There's been a lot of pushback from religious communities saying
Speaker 10: this bill goes too far. They're worried about a trampling
Speaker 10: on their rights. Is this a signal from the government
Speaker 10: that this bill needs more work or you need to
Speaker 10: retool the bill to get people on board with.
Speaker 6: What you want to do.
Speaker 11: I remember when conservatives talked about protecting synagogues, mosques, other churches,
Speaker 11: other places of worship in this country.
Speaker 6: That build is exactly that. We hope they pass it
Speaker 6: very quickly.
Speaker 4: Proposal though, to put C nine to the side in
Speaker 4: order for them for them to say fast track bail
Speaker 4: the bail bill C fourteen, C sixteen in their other
Speaker 4: crime legislation.
Speaker 11: Here's what I'm open to, Conservatives getting out of the
Speaker 11: way of the most ambitious crime agenda and a generation
Speaker 11: a series of measures, a series of bills that would
Speaker 11: deal with extortion, that would deal with child pornography, that
Speaker 11: would protect victims and particularly women and victims of intimate
Speaker 11: partner violence, that would protect places of worship. This is
Speaker 11: a broad and expansive crime agenda. Conservatives used to be
Speaker 11: for that. We are going to be telling Conservatives that
Speaker 11: they have a suite of crime measures in front of
Speaker 11: them that they can pass today, to.
Speaker 15: Say, hey, you know, you know, work with us on
Speaker 15: these crime bills. They're raising issues with one particular piece
Speaker 15: of legislation. Why not just push out the side in
Speaker 15: this spirit of cooperation and help get things passed.
Speaker 6: Look, we're for our bills. They want to pass the bill,
Speaker 6: We'll pass the bill. How about that.
Speaker 16: You've spoken a lot about the Conservatives.
Speaker 10: You've spoken a lot about the Conservatives.
Speaker 15: Can you talk about whether or not the Block is
Speaker 15: prepared to work with you to pass the Budget Implementation
Speaker 15: Act through committees.
Speaker 6: I have no idea. You'll have to ask the Block.
Speaker 6: Quebec WUA.
Speaker 11: Obviously people in Block writings, and I live in Quebec
Speaker 11: represented Quebec writing. Quebecers did not vote for what they're
Speaker 11: hearing coming out of the mouths of sovereignists right now.
Speaker 11: They're vote They want to vote for day to day essentials,
Speaker 11: help with their groceries, and to protect our country, all
Speaker 11: of our country against the trade and other threats that
Speaker 11: we see on the news every day.

Speaker 4: You know? And when so many religious communities from multi

Speaker 4: not feel that this was the initial intention of it.
Speaker 4: Why is that not a signal to you to slow
Speaker 4: down and prioritize some of your other crime legislation.
Speaker 11: I remember when Conservatives were for protecting synagogues, mosques and.
Speaker 6: Place a consertaives.
Speaker 4: I'm talking about religious leaders in this country that are
Speaker 4: expressing concern about this bill.
Speaker 11: Well, we're obviously sensitive and we'll listen to all Canadians
Speaker 11: as we do on all bills, but we very much
Speaker 11: think it's important the principles that are in Bill C nine.
Speaker 11: We are going to continue to put them, along with
Speaker 11: other key pieces of legislation, as part of the most
Speaker 11: ambitious crime fighting agenda any government has put in place.
Speaker 6: In a generation.
Speaker 9: Mister Rickinn, has your government considered snap election if you're
Speaker 9: unable to convince more floor crossers to come over to
Speaker 9: the Liberals? Is that in play at all? How was
Speaker 9: that discussed?
Speaker 11: No, As I just said, I think this parliament can work.
Speaker 11: I think Canadians express themselves only last April, the end
Speaker 11: of April on the Carni Plan, on the plan to
Speaker 11: diversify trade markets, to create opportunities, to attract a trillion
Speaker 11: dollars of investment and to make life more affordable. There
Speaker 11: is no reason that plan will cannot get unless mister
Speaker 11: Polyev continues with his obstruction there's no way that that
Speaker 11: plan should not receive the approval of this parliament. There
Speaker 11: is a majority in that room for that plan. Mister
Speaker 11: Polief has to get out of the way and allow
Speaker 11: his MPs to vote on an ambitious crime fighting agenda,
Speaker 11: to vote on a plan to grow our economy, and
Speaker 11: to vote on a plan to make life more affordable
Speaker 11: to Canadians. That's what we're calling on him to do today.
Speaker 9: Unity, what is your government going to do in regards
Speaker 9: to the two separatist movements right now in Alberta and
Speaker 9: the possible referendum in Quebec as well. What kind of
Speaker 9: focus will national unity and containing these separatist movements be
Speaker 9: this time?
Speaker 6: You know what we're going to do. We're going to
Speaker 6: grow our economy.
Speaker 11: We're going to create jobs, we're going to diversify trade markets,
Speaker 11: we're going to make life more affordable, and we're going
Speaker 11: to put an ambitious crime fighting agenda before this Parliament.
Speaker 6: That's what we're gonna do. Thank you, kiss.
Speaker 17: Oral questions the honor the leader of the oppositions.
Speaker 3: Canadians deserve affordable groceries, but today we have learned that
Speaker 3: food inflation in Canada is by far the highest in
Speaker 3: the G seven. It's growing twice as fast as in
Speaker 3: the US, and food inflation has doubled since this Prime
Speaker 3: Minister came to power. These are If it truly were
Speaker 3: external factors behind this, we wouldn't be the worst in
Speaker 3: the G seven. When will the Prime Minister reverse his
Speaker 3: deficit inflationary taxes so that Canadians can have affordable groceries,
Speaker 3: the Honorable Minister of Finance, Mister Speaker, it's a pleasure
Speaker 3: to be back, and this Monday we have good news.
Speaker 3: The Canadian Groceries and Essentials Benefits will help twelve million Canadians.
Speaker 3: And my Conservative friends are happy in their hearts, mister Speaker,
Speaker 3: because they know this represents roughly eighteen hundred dollars for
Speaker 3: a family of four and roughly nine hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: for a single person this year. The Liberals support this
Speaker 3: and Canadians do well. The Conservatives do as well, the
Speaker 3: Honorable Leader of the Opposition, Mister Speaker. After food inflation
Speaker 3: has doubled under this prime minister, and with the worst
Speaker 3: food inflation in the G seven, the checks that the
Speaker 3: Liberals are announcing today won't even pay for just one
Speaker 3: grocery shop. Yes, the reality is that the average family
Speaker 3: will have to spend seventeen thousand dollars a year for
Speaker 3: grocery costs. WI will the Prime Minister reverse his taxes
Speaker 3: and inflationary references so that Canadians can eat the honorable
Speaker 3: Government House Leader, Mister Speaker. First and above all, we
Speaker 3: we'd like to all express our solidarity with the leader
Speaker 3: of the Opposition in this decisive week for him. I
Speaker 3: am certain he'll be able to convince a majority of
Speaker 3: his constituents to support his leadership. Second, we welcomed his
Speaker 3: openness with respect to the legislative measures before this House.
Speaker 3: And there is a bill that is where the Prime
Speaker 3: Minister's plan for our economy to create jobs and opportunities
Speaker 3: in Canada. Can he give us a date when we'll
Speaker 3: be able to vote through reading of the Budgetment Implementation Act.
Speaker 18: Canadians deserve affordable groceries, but under this Prime Minister's watch,
Speaker 18: food price inflation is the highest in the G seven.
Speaker 16: It's twice as high as in the States, twice as
Speaker 16: high as.
Speaker 6: What he took office.
Speaker 18: He can't blame global factors when it's rising faster than
Speaker 18: any other G seven country.
Speaker 16: The real cause is his rising taxes on farmers.
Speaker 17: For I'm going to I'm going to allow the Honorable
Speaker 17: Leader of the Opposition to start that question over. I mean,
Speaker 17: we need started over there and started over there, the
Speaker 17: Honorable Member of the Oppositions.
Speaker 6: The Speaker.
Speaker 16: The Canadian people deserve affordable groceries.
Speaker 18: Liberals might laugh that off, but they've given Canada the
Speaker 18: worst food price inflation in the G seven. It's rising
Speaker 18: twice as fast here in Canada as in the United
Speaker 18: States of America. Two point two million people lined up
Speaker 18: at food banks. And since this Prime Minister said that
Speaker 18: he would make groceries affordable, they've actually the inflation rate
Speaker 18: has actually doubled. Will the Prime Minister finally reverse his
Speaker 18: inflationary deficits and taxes so Canadians going to a fourteen
Speaker 18: house government healthy us.
Speaker 11: Mister Speaker, we certainly want to wish the Leader of
Speaker 11: the Opposition well in this very decisive and important week
Speaker 11: for helping Manaul, that he will have success at his
Speaker 11: party's convention. The Prime Minister's plan to grow our economy,
Speaker 11: to create a trillion dollars an investment, and to protect
Speaker 11: our workers and our industries from trade threats is before
Speaker 11: this House Bill C fifteen. Now we take very very
Speaker 11: well the leaders openness on working with us on legislation.
Speaker 11: Can you give us a date, just a date the
Speaker 11: words out of his both give us the date where
Speaker 11: we could have third reading on the BIA Mister.
Speaker 17: Speaker, the honorable Leader of the Opposition.
Speaker 18: Well, mister Speaker, in the spirit of solidarity, why won't
Speaker 18: they agree with the Canadian people that we should get
Speaker 18: rid of all the hidden taxes that they've been.
Speaker 6: Posed to approach.
Speaker 18: There's the liberal fuel standard tax, which is seven cents
Speaker 18: a leader on farmers, truckers and those who bring us
Speaker 18: our food. There's the industrial carbon tax on farm equipment
Speaker 18: and fertilizer. All of this has given Canada the worst
Speaker 18: food price inflation in the g seven Our food costs
Speaker 18: are rising twice as fast as in the United States
Speaker 18: of America. And now they promised to recycle a Trudeau
Speaker 18: era rebate that won't even cover one trip to the
Speaker 18: grocery store.
Speaker 3: Mister speaker, lammisitly pre honorable Minister of Finance.
Speaker 12: I know that it's a particularly challenging week for the
Speaker 12: Leader of the Opposition.
Speaker 16: But let me help baby us today.
Speaker 12: We have good news for Canadians, mister speaker, it's called
Speaker 12: the Canada Grocery and Essentials Benefit. Mister speaker. I know
Speaker 12: in ar he's rejoicing, mister speaker, because he's been asking
Speaker 12: question at this house. Now we have delivered for Canadians,
Speaker 12: mister speaker, the real question all the Liberals, if you
Speaker 12: are going to vote in favor Canadians orry favor? Will
Speaker 12: the Conservative is good for their work and book us
Speaker 12: to help Canadians.
Speaker 19: The honorable leader of the oppositions, if you're only the
Speaker 19: Liberals would look at the seventeen thousand, six hundred dollars
Speaker 19: that the average family has to spend on groceries and
Speaker 19: say that it's a time to rejoice.
Speaker 18: They say that Canadians should be grateful that to be
Speaker 18: lined up in record numbers at the food bank. They
Speaker 18: think Canadians should thank them for having the highest food
Speaker 18: inflation in the g seven twice as bad as the
Speaker 18: United States of America.
Speaker 16: They think that Canadians should give.
Speaker 18: Them great give Liberals gratitude for having double food price inflations.
Speaker 18: Since this Prime minister was elected promising to be judged
Speaker 18: by the prices at the grocery store, why won't they
Speaker 18: reverse their liberal taxes and debt so we can review.
Speaker 17: The Honorable Minister of Gods and Family.
Speaker 20: Mister Speaker, it's a good news for Canadians who are
Speaker 20: struggling today. In fact, up to nineteen hundred dollars more
Speaker 20: for Canadian family to help with those costs of living
Speaker 20: that the Conservatism have been talking about all fall, Mister Speaker.
Speaker 20: In fact, the memp from Edmonton, Manning, told a story
Speaker 20: about end who was struggling with the costs of groceries.
Speaker 20: Is he going to vote against Enid's desire to have
Speaker 20: more money to buy grocery.
Speaker 17: The Honorable leader of the opposition, Mister speaker.
Speaker 18: The reality is that Eden is paying and his family
Speaker 18: are paying a record high price. If Eaton is part
Speaker 18: of a family of four, that family will spend over
Speaker 18: seventeen thousand dollars on groceries this year.
Speaker 16: That's one thousand dollars more than they did last year.
Speaker 18: That's the fastest increase in the g seven and now
Speaker 18: the Prime Minister has reb the Trudeau era rebate which
Speaker 18: will let pass that will barely cover a few trips
Speaker 18: to the grocery store, while the average family spends seventeen
Speaker 18: thousand plus dollars. Why don't the guys, why doesn't the
Speaker 18: Liberals stop increasing grocery prices by getting rid of their
Speaker 18: inflationary depthicits and taxes on food menus.
Speaker 3: To the Honorable Minister of Finance.
Speaker 12: Your speaker, I know that the leader of the opposition
Speaker 12: is a bit concerned about the week ahead, but let
Speaker 12: me quote the letter he sent us.
Speaker 18: On January twenty fourth.
Speaker 12: Mister Speaker, we wouldn't assume that it would be good
Speaker 12: for his words.
Speaker 16: He said, if you have other ideas that make.
Speaker 12: Food affordable, we will fast truck dead. Mystery speaker, Well,
Speaker 12: I have been news for him. It's called the Canada
Speaker 12: Grocery and Essentials Benefit. Mister speaker, helping twelve millions Canadians
Speaker 12: the puestion we have on this side.
Speaker 16: Will you stand up in this house?
Speaker 12: Will we be good for his word and support twelve
Speaker 12: million Canadians that are expecting dis government and disaster.
Speaker 17: Support the.
Speaker 3: Honorable Member for Saint Jean, mister speaker. Quebecer's and French
Speaker 3: Canadians learned something new last Thursday. According to the Prime Minister,
Speaker 3: the Battle of the Plains of Abraham was not a
Speaker 3: conquest by the English. It was the beginning of a
Speaker 3: great partnership. According to him, the ancestors of Quebecers and
Speaker 3: English Canadians rose from the battlefield that morning and said
Speaker 3: to each other, guys, let's stop fighting, celebrate our differences,
Speaker 3: and build Canada. Mister speaker, if the Prime Minister wants
Speaker 3: to create some new heritage minutes, will his he review
Speaker 3: his history rather than rewrite it. The Honorable Government House Leader,
Speaker 3: mister Speaker, English Canadians and French Canadians built a very
Speaker 3: great country, one that is the best in the world.
Speaker 3: We created great prosperity in mutual respect for our official
Speaker 3: languages and human rights. Seaker. No one, not the block
Speaker 3: will even will minimize this accomplishment. Nevertheless, mister speaker, we're
Speaker 3: going to continue to work with what concerns Quebecer's i e. Affordability,
Speaker 3: job creation, prosperity, creation together, mister Speaker, the Honorable Member
Speaker 3: for Saint Jean, mister speaker, if you listen to the
Speaker 3: Prime Minister, when French was banned from being taught in
Speaker 3: the Maritimes, in Manitoba, in Saskatchewan, in Alberta and in Ontario,
Speaker 3: it wasn't to erase us. No, it was to bring
Speaker 3: us together. When Quebecers were excluded from power and business,
Speaker 3: it was for their own good. When the founder of
Speaker 3: Canada said that Louis Reelle would be hanged even if
Speaker 3: all the dogs in Quebec bart in his favor, we
Speaker 3: just misrepresented his love of Poocha's mister speaker, when is
Speaker 3: this Prime minister going to learn our history for real?
Speaker 3: The Honorable Government House Leader, Mister speaker, she's talking to
Speaker 3: a Government House leader of that is the proud ancestor
Speaker 3: of Scottish immigrants who studied in French in Prince Edward Island,
Speaker 3: who did his undergrad at the Acadian University in Moncton,
Speaker 3: and who lives his life in French, and who was
Speaker 3: elected four times in a writing that is ninety percent Francophone.
Speaker 3: That is possible in Canada when we have mutual respect
Speaker 3: between Anglophones and Anglophones, and we've created the best country
Speaker 3: in the world. Vive la Canada, the Honorable Member for
Speaker 3: Saint Jean, mister speaker. A little reminder, historically, there's a
Speaker 3: reason why these questions are being asked in a parliament
Speaker 3: here in Ottawa. It's because English speakers preferred to burn
Speaker 3: down the Parliament in Montreal rather than compensate French Canadians
Speaker 3: who had their farms burned during the eighteen thirty seven
Speaker 3: rebellion with a terrible partnership. The Liberal Lieutenant from Quebec
Speaker 3: defended the Prime Minister by saying that it was just
Speaker 3: a different perspective on history. Well, history is facts, not opinions.
Speaker 3: So instead of defending these alternative facts from the Prime Minister,
Speaker 3: will we teach him our history lovely, the Honorable Minister
Speaker 3: of Finance, mister Speaker, I've noticed that my block colleagues
Speaker 3: were talking about history. But I can tell you one
Speaker 3: thing that Canadians want to talk about in Quebecer's want
Speaker 3: to talk about. That's talking about their city right now.
Speaker 3: Those people on my writing in Quebec, they want a
Speaker 3: government that is building the future. They want investment and
Speaker 3: support for families because Quebecer's first priority is affordability. And
Speaker 3: today we're showing up with the Canadian a grocery benefit
Speaker 3: to put food on the table. Will always be here
Speaker 3: to defend Quebec and Quebecers join a koppel.
Speaker 16: The aske be judged on inflation, on grocery prices well.
Speaker 21: Food inflation has doubled, the highest in the G seven
Speaker 21: and has doubled the US rate. This is a homegrown
Speaker 21: problem of high liberal taxes on farmers, fertilizer and food
Speaker 21: processors and rampant inflationary deficits. Today's recycled Trudeau Ara rebate
Speaker 21: will barely cover one trip to the store for the
Speaker 21: average family. They now need to spend over seventeen thousand
Speaker 21: dollars a year on groceries. It didn't work when Trudeau
Speaker 21: tried it.
Speaker 16: Prices kept rising.
Speaker 21: There's nothing in today's announcement that will make anything cost less.
Speaker 21: So instead of temporary measures, why not permanently scrap liberal
Speaker 21: hidden taxes that drive up food costs.
Speaker 19: Lulnerable circuit doing of state and the financial institutions A speaker.
Speaker 22: While that leader focuses on hanging on to his leadership,
Speaker 22: we're focused on affordability for Canadians. Our new Groceries and
Speaker 22: essentials benefit will help more than twelve million Canadians with
Speaker 22: food inflation. That's ninety hundred dollars for a family of four.
Speaker 22: Mister speaker, it's time for the Conservatives. It's time for Canadians.
Speaker 22: Thanks to Tell Conservatives to stop the obstruction. Let's build
Speaker 22: Canada together.
Speaker 17: Thank you, nonable member for Regina Kappel. Plan didn't work
Speaker 17: for Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 21: I don't know why they think it will work today
Speaker 21: and earlier today, the Prime Minister tried to blame inflation
Speaker 21: on global factors, but all the other countries in the
Speaker 21: G seven have lower food inflation than Canada. The liberal
Speaker 21: fuel standards tax didn't invade us from another country that
Speaker 21: already at seven cents a leader and is set to
Speaker 21: rise to seventeen. The industrial liberal carbon tax didn't come
Speaker 21: from away either. Working families who can't afford beef know
Speaker 21: that today's announcement won't even cover.
Speaker 16: One trip to the grocery store.
Speaker 21: So why not stop trying recycling failed Trudel policies and
Speaker 21: adopt common sense conservative measures to scrap liberal taxes on food?
Speaker 17: Yeah, the Honorable Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister.
Speaker 23: Of Maffies too speaker, speaking of recycling, We've got the
Speaker 23: twenty fifteen playbook here in twenty twenty six, and it's
Speaker 23: just not going to work. Canadians know that the environment, economy,
Speaker 23: trade reconciliation, these are all related and Canadians and conservative writings.
Speaker 23: Expect better than obstruction and speak and spell politics where
Speaker 23: we get one of five answers to every problem.
Speaker 16: Listen on this site.
Speaker 23: There's new programs for affordability, economic growth, building big things,
Speaker 23: and this is a big moment for this country. I
Speaker 23: invite the members opposite to join us, to see the
Speaker 23: world as it.
Speaker 16: Is and to build Canada strong.
Speaker 17: The Honorable Members with caliguny E s and.
Speaker 24: Kalduis So in Canada first in the G seven for
Speaker 24: food inflation. Canada's food inflation is double the US at
Speaker 24: six point two percent. Essentials like lettuce, beef, baby formula
Speaker 24: and apples are all hit with liberal inflation. Conservatives will
Speaker 24: fast track any proposal double reverse. Having the highest food
Speaker 24: inflation in the G seven that includes eliminating the industrial
Speaker 24: carbon tex, liberal fuel standards, cutting red tape, and boosting competition.
Speaker 24: Will the Liberals introduce this immediately?
Speaker 17: The Honorable Minister of Agri Agamster.
Speaker 25: Speaker, and government is focused on delivering support where it's needed.
Speaker 25: I can't understand why the opposition is so against that,
Speaker 25: Mister Speaker.
Speaker 16: By taking action now, we're helping.
Speaker 25: Farmers manage essential costs, improving portability, strengthening a more resilient
Speaker 25: food system.
Speaker 14: Mister speaker, twelve.
Speaker 25: Million Canadians are going to be affected by this, mister speaker.
Speaker 25: It's going to help our domestic production, it's going to
Speaker 25: help our farmers and ranchers, and it's going to help
Speaker 25: our economy.
Speaker 17: Thank you, Member for Calgary East.
Speaker 24: Giving the Canadians the money back the Liberals took from
Speaker 24: them in the first place doesn't lower grocery costs. The
Speaker 24: Prime Minister can't blame global factors either. When all other
Speaker 24: G seven nations have lower food inflation than Canada does,
Speaker 24: Liberals raise taxes on farmers, fertilizer, food processors, all while
Speaker 24: doubling the deficit. Well, the Liberals reverse these failed policies,
Speaker 24: or is having the highest food inflation in the G
Speaker 24: seven the only Liberal promise they're willing to keep.
Speaker 17: The Honorable Minister for Digital, Artificial Intelligence and Digital inn.
Speaker 26: Well, the Party of No, mister speaker, keeps standing in
Speaker 26: the way of bringing down the cost of living for Canadians.
Speaker 26: We're saying yes today the Groceries and Essential Benefit will
Speaker 26: give twelve million Canadians support to put food on the table,
Speaker 26: saving the average family a four almost nineteen hundred dollars
Speaker 26: in the average individual almost nine hundred dollars.
Speaker 16: We're saying yes to supporting families.
Speaker 26: We're saying yes to making life more affordable.
Speaker 16: We're saying yes to real solutions.
Speaker 26: Why doesn't the Party of No support Canadians and start
Speaker 26: saying yes as well?
Speaker 17: The Honorable Member for Leeds Grenville thousand Islanders, the.
Speaker 27: Prime Minister said, a country that can't feed itself, fuel
Speaker 27: itself or defend itself has few options. And he's right,
Speaker 27: and Canadians are looking for the Prime Minister's words to
Speaker 27: match his actions. Now tomorrow, Conservatives are going to introduce
Speaker 27: a motion to pass the Canadian Sovereignty Act. It's going
Speaker 27: to cut taxes and it's going to let investors invest
Speaker 27: in builders build. The question is very simple, at this
Speaker 27: critical time for our country, will the government say yes
Speaker 27: and will they support the Canadian Sovereignty Act?
Speaker 17: Bilim the old government health leaders.
Speaker 11: So, mister Speaker, there is a bill before this Parliament
Speaker 11: that lets investors invest, that lets builders build, and in
Speaker 11: fact attracts one trillion with a t trillion dollars of
Speaker 11: investment in our country that will protect our workers and
Speaker 11: build our industries it is the Budget Implementation Act. Now
Speaker 11: Canadians and Conservative writings are telling us they want this
Speaker 11: Parliament to work, that they want to endorse the Prime
Speaker 11: Minister's plan to create growth in this country. Can that
Speaker 11: member give us a date, just a date where we
Speaker 11: will have third reading and pass the Prime Minister's plan
Speaker 11: for prosperity and capa no.
Speaker 3: No Janill remember for Charlburg or Saint Shall. Mister Speaker.
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister seems open to our proposal to move
Speaker 3: faster to help Canadians. That's fantastic, but has also promised
Speaker 3: affordable groceries for Canadians. On the side of the House,
Speaker 3: we're eager to quickly pass proposals and aimed at reversing
Speaker 3: food inflation, such as measures that stimulate competition in the
Speaker 3: food chain. Tomorrow, will table emotion to pass the Canadian
Speaker 3: Sovereignty Act. Will your government table legislation to reduce the
Speaker 3: cost of groceries? The Honorable Parmitary Secretary, Mister Speaker, I'm
Speaker 3: very happy to rise and wish everyone a happy new year.
Speaker 3: And it's already a good year for Canadians. Today, more
Speaker 3: than twelve million Canadians will see their purchasing power increase.
Speaker 3: That's what they need to face rising prices in grocery stores,
Speaker 3: greater purchasing power, and that's our objective. I hope my
Speaker 3: colleagues will support us in this action. I'd like to
Speaker 3: thank you, mister Speaker, the Honorable Member for Charburg Shall.
Speaker 3: Mister Speaker, we already said we'd pass this, but we
Speaker 3: need to go further and it's time to reward businesses
Speaker 3: and workers who build an invest in Canada, and we
Speaker 3: must protect Canadian innovation. We are proposing creating a tax
Speaker 3: credit for reinvestment in Canada to stimulate domestic industrial activity
Speaker 3: and protecting Canadian innovation by requiring the Minister of Industry
Speaker 3: to present a plan to prevent the sale of Canadian innovations,
Speaker 3: discoveries and innovations to other countries. Will you support our
Speaker 3: motion and introduce a bill to this effects of Vision
Speaker 3: News Services. Hello everyone, Happy new year, mister Speaker. We're
Speaker 3: working together on new measures to help families and to
Speaker 3: put food on the table. In my writing, a single
Speaker 3: mother of a family will see her purchasing power increase
Speaker 3: and also will be new members measures rather TELP provide
Speaker 3: use and pay for daycare after school, won't just be
Speaker 3: helping people on my writing, but also it'll be the
Speaker 3: same thing on the other side of the house in
Speaker 3: their writings. So it asked them to work with us
Speaker 3: and inaudible, the Honorable Member for Drummond, mister speaker. It
Speaker 3: was on a sunny day in September seventeen fifty nine
Speaker 3: that the beautiful partnership between the French and the English began.
Speaker 3: This beautiful friendship, born on the plains of Abraham, would
Speaker 3: give rise to moments filled with affection. The ban on
Speaker 3: French and schools, the hanging of the Patriots, the Durham Report,
Speaker 3: the execution of lu Reelle, the Quebec City riot during conscription,
Speaker 3: the War Measures Acts, the Night of the Long Knives,
Speaker 3: and the failure of the meach Like Accord and so on.
Speaker 3: Could it be that this Prime Minister is unfamiliar with
Speaker 3: the history of Quebecers and Francophones. He has no knowledge
Speaker 3: of it in Canada, Love the Honorable Minister of Canadian
Speaker 3: Identity and Culture. Thank you, mister speaker. First, I'd like
Speaker 3: to wish a happy New Year to the Block or
Speaker 3: their militant arm of the party Quepequa. Well, I think
Speaker 3: what bothers them. The most is the Prime Minister's message
Speaker 3: was a national one. But I'd like to ask them
Speaker 3: a question. Did they ask permission from mister Plumondaut to
Speaker 3: ask their question? Because he's going to move on to
Speaker 3: something else. He is having an argument with the Bunama
Speaker 3: of the Quebec Carnival. You can't invent that, the Honorable
Speaker 3: Member for Drummond, mister speaker. They're rewriting the facts. It's concagious,
Speaker 3: and it's contiguous and is spreading through the entire Liberal caucus.
Speaker 3: And according to the Prime Minister, Montcombe declared on his deathbed,
Speaker 3: I die disappointed because I will not live to see
Speaker 3: the surrender of English in Quebec. The truth is that
Speaker 3: we were contract conquered and since then the Federal government
Speaker 3: is just trying to keep us in line. But the
Speaker 3: Prime Minister has chosen to rewrite history and serving that
Speaker 3: Quebecers do not know it. And instead of spouting nonsense
Speaker 3: about the Plains of Abraham and insulting our intelligence, what
Speaker 3: is the Prime Minister waiting for to pick up a
Speaker 3: book and learn a bit more about Quebec. It's about
Speaker 3: time the Honorable Government House Leader mister speaker, Quebecers have
Speaker 3: been telling us out loud to work on affordability and
Speaker 3: help them make ends meet at the end of the month.
Speaker 3: To take efforts on rent on lodging, and to protect
Speaker 3: our industry such as softwood, lumber, aluminium and in general,
Speaker 3: to prevent them from tariff threats in a very complex world,
Speaker 3: while still protecting their culture and language, mister speaker, and
Speaker 3: that is what the federal government and the Liberal Party
Speaker 3: are doing this year.
Speaker 17: The Honorable Member for Long Range Mountains, mister speakers.
Speaker 28: Stats Canada confirms what Canadian families already know.
Speaker 3: With the checkout.
Speaker 28: Food inflation has jumped by six point two percent in
Speaker 28: the last year. Grocery prices are up five percent, and
Speaker 28: Canada now has the highest.
Speaker 29: Food inflation in the G seven.
Speaker 28: Newfoudlanda Labrador has the second highest food inflation rate in
Speaker 28: the entire country, and higher transportation costs mean local families
Speaker 28: are hit even harder. Conservatives are ready to fast track
Speaker 28: measures to bring food prices down. So will the government
Speaker 28: eliminate the industrial carbon tax and the seventeen cents of
Speaker 28: lead fuel standards tax so Canadians can afford the basics.
Speaker 17: The honorable industry fictions.
Speaker 3: And thank you, mister Speaker.
Speaker 30: And I wish the Member of officeite the opposition member
Speaker 30: from New Calinda.
Speaker 3: Labrador, happy New Year.
Speaker 30: And I want you to just give a couple of
Speaker 30: stats the Canada groceries and essential benefit specific for our province.
Speaker 3: A family of four this year will get over.
Speaker 31: Eighteen hundred dollars, and then the next four years fourteen
Speaker 31: hundred dollars a year, a single person nine hundred and
Speaker 31: fifty dollars with the top up, and then seven hundred.
Speaker 3: Dollars going forward.
Speaker 30: Circunstantoints are telling me they want action, stop the obstruction
Speaker 30: and work for.
Speaker 17: The noble member for long range multima.
Speaker 28: They are ready to work with the government on real
Speaker 28: long term solutions instead of recycled temporary Trudah arrow rebates.
Speaker 28: Canada has been called the food inflation capital of the
Speaker 28: G seven. Mister Speaker. That's real hardship. People back home
Speaker 28: ask me how far does this have to go before
Speaker 28: it stops? The Prime Minister can't blame global factors when
Speaker 28: all other countries have lower food price inflation than Canada.
Speaker 28: It's a homegrown problem of high liberal taxes. So will
Speaker 28: this government focus on actually bringing down food prices or
Speaker 28: will it defend policies that make food more expensive?
Speaker 30: The Ministry, how your wants recycled and it's hired, notes
Speaker 30: that the Conservative numbers as fund of Plana Labrador as
Speaker 30: well just contain here to repeat the point is they
Speaker 30: consistently both against support families, help the people that they
Speaker 30: talk about in their.
Speaker 12: Riding that I hear from the one them to support.
Speaker 30: Stop the nonsense, work together and let's growth Canada.
Speaker 17: Remember for Cambridge.
Speaker 8: Mister speaker, Canada is now the inflation capital of the
Speaker 8: G seven. Food prices are rising faster than families can
Speaker 8: keep up twice the rate of the US and recycle
Speaker 8: trude tou Era rebates do not fix the problem. Canadians
Speaker 8: can't eat the paper on which this Prime Minister's empty
Speaker 8: promises are written. Restaurants are being squeezed out of business
Speaker 8: with higher food costs, and Canadians are cutting back because
Speaker 8: they can't afford to eat. Conservers are ready to work
Speaker 8: on long term solutions. Canadians can feel at the checkout
Speaker 8: like cutting the industrial carbon attacks and the few those
Speaker 8: stand or tax to bring prices down. Will the Prime
Speaker 8: Minister work with us or does he consider the food
Speaker 8: bank the new order of fine dining for Canadians.
Speaker 17: The Honorable Parliamentary Secretary to the.
Speaker 29: Prime Minister, mister Speaker. Nineteen hundred dollars per family is
Speaker 29: real money that will help Canadians pay for groceries, pay
Speaker 29: for schools, pay for their activities for their children. Mister Speaker.
Speaker 29: Canadians and Conservative health writings want to benefit from this
Speaker 29: support from our government. Why are the Conservatives blocking systematically
Speaker 29: every time we want to help Canadians.
Speaker 14: Here, the Honorable Member for le'vy Lubigne, Mister Speaker. It's
Speaker 14: expensive to eat in Canada, and it costs a lot
Speaker 14: more here than elsewhere. There's no other country in the
Speaker 14: G seven where it costs more to eat than in Canada.
Speaker 14: Ground beef, you can't afford it anymore. It's seventy percent
Speaker 14: more expensive. Apples are up by ten percent, let us
Speaker 14: by thirteen percent, oranges up by fifteen percent, ground coffee
Speaker 14: forty two percent.
Speaker 6: Mister Speaker.
Speaker 14: Is the Liberal government in the tomato business because that's
Speaker 14: the only thing that's gone down. The Honorable Minister of Finance,
Speaker 14: Mister Speaker, coming from a star on a fol Man,
Speaker 14: I'm not surprised to hear that question, mister speaker. But
Speaker 14: you know, I have a lot of admiration for that colleague.
Speaker 14: But he's a bit behind. He's a few days behind.
Speaker 14: Because now we have the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.
Speaker 14: Young people are happy about it, mister Speaker, and I
Speaker 14: know that in his heart the member is happy that
Speaker 14: we have it as well. But is he going to
Speaker 14: rise in this House and help the twelve million Canadians
Speaker 14: of vote in favor of that measure and say that
Speaker 14: the Liberal government's doing good things for Canadians, The Honorable
Speaker 14: Member for l'vy lu mignere, Mister Speaker, you don't buy votes,
Speaker 14: you earn them. The most recent data shows that food
Speaker 14: inflation is up by six point two percent, putting Canada
Speaker 14: first place in food inflation in the G seven. The
Speaker 14: Prime Minister can't blame the rest of the planet. This
Speaker 14: is a home grown problem caused by high liberal taxes
Speaker 14: on our farmers, Mister Speaker. The will the government immediately
Speaker 14: commit to tabling a law which will eliminate the hidden taxes.
Speaker 17: On food.
Speaker 14: Love these the Honorable Minister of Indigenous Services, come on, Collegg,
Speaker 14: mister Speaker, I would like to ensure that my colleague
Speaker 14: understands that we're here to help Canadians not just with food,
Speaker 14: but also with the cost of living. For example, daycare costs,
Speaker 14: costs that are hard to plan for. Mister Speaker, we
Speaker 14: ask our colleagues to follow what their leader said in
Speaker 14: his open letter. I asked them to be open to
Speaker 14: working with the government to help twelve million Canadians.
Speaker 5: Please the Honorable Member for Self Shore Saint Margaret's, Mister Speaker.
Speaker 32: When I was back home in my writing, I had
Speaker 32: many conversations with people in my community about how important
Speaker 32: the school food program was to families. In my writing
Speaker 32: of South Shore Saint Margaret's, can the Minister of Environment,
Speaker 32: Climate Change and Nature please update the House on how
Speaker 32: the government will deliver real near term relief for Canadians
Speaker 32: facing higher costs of living.
Speaker 17: Thank you, Minister of Environment, Climate Change and the Nature.
Speaker 33: Thank you Mintion for me and I think it's great
Speaker 33: because the Member from Shore Saint Mark's can to be
Speaker 33: able to go back home this weekend and talk to
Speaker 33: families about the Canada Growthries and Essentials benefit that is
Speaker 33: going to help a.
Speaker 13: Family of four with almost ninety one hundred dollars a year.
Speaker 13: That's going to help over twelve million in pales people
Speaker 13: right across the country. It's her hard work, it's delivery
Speaker 13: needs results. Not only that, we have made the National
Speaker 13: School Food Program permanent, the Dental Benefit Supporting Family, Canada Childcare,
Speaker 13: and the Canada Child Benefit.
Speaker 3: There's such a long list I could go on forever.
Speaker 13: We're going to continue working for Canadians.
Speaker 14: The Honorable Member for Best Chasley's at Jermaine Levi. Eating
Speaker 14: healthily has become a luxury, mister Speaker. The numbers hurt.
Speaker 14: The price of beef is up by sixteen point eight percent.
Speaker 14: Let us twelve point eight percent apples ten percent Under
Speaker 14: this government, Preparing a simple salad has become a major investment,
Speaker 14: mister speaker. Even coffees forty one percent more expensive. When
Speaker 14: will the government stop taxing our farmers and our truckers
Speaker 14: and will it commit today to cutting the industrial carbon
Speaker 14: tax and the tax on fuel standards? The Honorable Minister
Speaker 14: of Health, Well, I would like to thank my colleague
Speaker 14: for her question, and as Minister of Health, I absolutely
Speaker 14: want Canadians to eat well and that is why we've
Speaker 14: put in place this measure today that will give Canadians
Speaker 14: more money in their pockets to help them get through
Speaker 14: these difficult times. So, as I was saying in my writing,
Speaker 14: a family of four needs this help and they'll receive
Speaker 14: almost nineteen hundred dollars this year. So we are taking
Speaker 14: measures to help Canadians transition through this difficult time. The
Speaker 14: Honorable Member for bet Chess The's at Jamain Levi, Mister speaker,
Speaker 14: the Liberal announcement this morning is just a band aid.
Speaker 14: It's not a real solution for the two point two
Speaker 14: million Canadians who are going to continue to go to
Speaker 14: food banks. Canada has the highest food inflation in the
Speaker 14: G seven because of liberal taxes, and it's killing local businesses.
Speaker 14: Seven thousand restaurants closed in twenty twenty five. Four thousand
Speaker 14: more will probably close this year. Will the government eliminate
Speaker 14: the tax that is making transport more expensive and making
Speaker 14: food more expensive? Plesion, the Honorable Secretary of State for Youth,
Speaker 14: Thank you, mister speaker. We are helping Canadians with the
Speaker 14: cost of living by reducing costs with a rebate of
Speaker 14: almost nineteen hundred dollars for a family four. That's on
Speaker 14: top of other investments like the tax cut for twenty
Speaker 14: two million Canadians and a savings of eight hundred dollars
Speaker 14: for children with young kids who benefit from the school
Speaker 14: food program. We're there to help Canadians and families go forward.
Speaker 14: The Conservative Party should stop with these games of obstruction
Speaker 14: in Parliament and support these initiatives.
Speaker 17: None all Member for Oshawa.
Speaker 34: Mister speaker, If we judge the Prime Minister by prices
Speaker 34: at the grocery store, as he said, he's failed, Canada's
Speaker 34: food inflation now sits six point two percent, the highest
Speaker 34: in the G seven. Conservatives are ready to fast track
Speaker 34: real relief by scrapping the industrial carbon tax, eliminating the
Speaker 34: ever increasing fuel standards tax, boosting competition and grocery stores,
Speaker 34: and cutting red.
Speaker 16: Tape for farmers.
Speaker 34: When will the Prime Minister stop offering band aid solutions
Speaker 34: and work with Conservatives to bring food prices down once
Speaker 34: and for all, sure.
Speaker 5: Secretary of Stape to Spot, thank you very much, mister speaker.
Speaker 5: The Canadian Groceries and Essentials Benefit will put food directly
Speaker 5: onto the tables of hard work in Canadian families and
Speaker 5: not just a few, mister speaker. We're talking about twelve
Speaker 5: million Canadians. Mister Speaker, But only Conservatives are willing to
Speaker 5: stand in the way of affordability for families that need
Speaker 5: a little bit of help. Mister speaker, this liberal government
Speaker 5: has the backs of Canadians. Will that Conservative leader turned
Speaker 5: us back on helping Canadians a long long time ago? Now,
Speaker 5: mister speaker, I know that that Conservative leader is obsessed
Speaker 5: with his grip on power right now and probably can't
Speaker 5: focus on much else. But you could focus on what
Speaker 5: Canadians need and helping them out at the grocery store.
Speaker 23: We could use his vote. Thank you very much, mister speaker.
Speaker 17: Nonible members were also.
Speaker 34: Mister speaker.
Speaker 35: Enough with the temporary and recycled Trudeau era rebates, and
Speaker 35: enough with blaming global factors when all the other countries
Speaker 35: have lower food price inflation than Canada.
Speaker 34: This is a home grown problem and we need long
Speaker 34: term solutions. My recent visit to Simple Hall food Bank
Speaker 34: with the Conservative leader was yet another reminder that more
Speaker 34: working families are struggling and visiting food banks. Will the
Speaker 34: Prime Minister stop treating the House of Commons as the
Speaker 34: House of elites and finally work with Conservatives to bring
Speaker 34: food prices down for Canadians.
Speaker 5: Yeah, nonable Secretary of State for Sport, mister speaker. It's
Speaker 5: always pretty fresh to hear the Conservatives talk about elitism
Speaker 5: when they're talking down supports for hard working Canadians, mister speaker.
Speaker 5: Twelve million Canadians are going to benefit from the Canadian
Speaker 5: Groceries and Essentials benefit, mister speaker. And from a personal perspective,
Speaker 5: my hard working single mom got that benefit four times
Speaker 5: a year. That meant running shoes for me and my brother.
Speaker 5: That meant guitar lessons for me and my brother. That
Speaker 5: meant fresher food and maybe a trip to Swish La,
Speaker 5: mister speaker. But those Conservatives have never cared about affordability
Speaker 5: or lower income families, mister speaker. They're only here to help.
Speaker 5: They're rich oil and gas friends. With this nonsense on
Speaker 5: hidden taxes that doesn't exist, mister speaker.
Speaker 17: The Honorable Member for von Wood bringin outa mister speaker.
Speaker 36: Canada now faces the highest food inflation in the G seven.
Speaker 36: The government's response has relied largely on short term relief
Speaker 36: measures that may ease pressure temporarily but do nothing to
Speaker 36: address the underlying drivers of rising food costs. Food affordability
Speaker 36: requires deeper structural action Conservatives that put forward practical solutions,
Speaker 36: including eliminating the industrial carbon tax and fuel standards tax,
Speaker 36: boosting competition in the grocery sector, and cutting red tape
Speaker 36: for farmers. So will the government work with Conservatives to
Speaker 36: deliver lasting relief for Canadian familiest.
Speaker 17: Rob secret theory of stateful later in one.
Speaker 37: Our focus has been on lowering costs for families and
Speaker 37: putting money in their pockets. Today's announcement of the new
Speaker 37: CANDID Groceries and Essentials Benefit will give Canadians the relief
Speaker 37: they need. But more than that, mister Speaker, we have
Speaker 37: delivered a tax cut. We have protected the CANDID Child
Speaker 37: Benefit and grew it. We reduced childcare costs. We have
Speaker 37: cut the carbon tax, mister Speaker. We've delivered dental care,
Speaker 37: building Canada homes. We're building low affordable housing. Mister Speaker,
Speaker 37: made the National Food School Food Program permanent. Mister Speaker,
Speaker 37: My question is voters in Vaughn want this stuff. Why
Speaker 37: is a member obstructing get.
Speaker 19: Out of the way, the Honorable Member for Battle for
Speaker 19: Lloydminster Middle League.
Speaker 35: Well, mister Speaker, if those measures weren't Canadians would actually
Speaker 35: be able to afford their groceries.
Speaker 34: Let us take up twelve percent.
Speaker 12: Well, but I convinced my son that there were colors
Speaker 12: in the world.
Speaker 23: Back when I was young, and though everything wasn't black
Speaker 23: and white, wrong was.
Speaker 12: Wrong and right was right.
Speaker 16: It was about that time I finally.
Speaker 12: Realized maybe my son was right.
Speaker 23: Though old damn time.
Speaker 16: Most of us were on in a clearer time.
Speaker 34: Yeah, things were.
Speaker 1: Black show.
Speaker 17: Depictions Media things were.
