Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have thrown in the towel on Canada's auto sector. Since 2015, auto production is down by half, exports are down by 53% and over 5,000 auto jobs are gone. The Conservatives' auto pact would restore tariff-free access to the U.S., doubling auto production here at home. Instead of giving up on our auto sector, will the Liberals stand with their auto workers and support our [more]
Mr. Speaker, here is what the president of Unifor Local 222 said, “Finally, a...plan to protect the livelihood of thousands of Ontario Auto sector workers.” Under the Liberal plan, production is down and exports are down, but job losses are up. The Conservative plan would double auto production here in Canada. The Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association supports our plan. The local unions [more]
Mr. Speaker, after 11 years of Liberal government, Canadians are now struggling to feed their families. We have a record number of visits to food banks, with 2.2 million people in a single month. We have the highest food inflation in the G7, which is double that of the U.S. We have a 10% increase in homelessness in Ontario. These numbers are more than just stats. They affect Canadians every [more]
Mr. Speaker, I wish we could feed families with the word salad the member served up in the House today. It is funny, because when the Liberals are asked about the housing crisis, they blame the Iran war. When we ask them about the 100,000 job losses, they blame the Iran war. When we ask about food insecurity and the cost of living crisis, they blame the Iran war. The Iran war started three weeks [more]
Mr. Speaker, I would like to request a recorded division.
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the Liberalpromised safety with 1,000 new RCMP officers, but that is just typical banker spin. The Auditor General is now reporting that there is a 3,400 officer shortage with the RCMP. Recruitment is failing. Training seats are going unfilled, and after a year-long process only 6% of applicants are making it through. Prime Minister With crime rising at alarming [more]
Mr. Speaker, as parliamentarians we are entrusted with something special: the duty to do what is right, not what is easy. What is right is very clear. It is right to build a criminal justice system that protects Canadians and protects the most vulnerable, that listens to the stories of victims and that recognizes the profound impact that every life lost and every family shattered truly carries.

C-9 Mr. Speaker, I am rising once again to submit petitions on behalf of Oxford residents, with a thousand more signatures, raising concerns with the Liberals' attack on faith in Bill. The petitioners are very concerned about the Liberal-Bloc amendments to Bill C-9, which could be used to criminalize passages from the Bible, the Torah and the Quran. Faith plays a huge part in our communities. It [more]
