DebateLiberal Party of Canada

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, higher prices are the official policy of the Liberal Party. The results speak for themselves: 100,000 jobs lost this year, a shrinking economy, the second-highest unemployment in the G7, the highest household debt and the highest food inflation. Canadians cannot eat empty Liberal slogans. Broken promises do not put a roof over Canadians' heads. Spending is out of [more]

DebateBusiness of Supply

Mr. Speaker, given all the plant closures, not only those that have happened but those to come, the massive layoffs and the anxiety and hardship that go along with that, all the Liberals have to say is, “Well, let them do something else. Let them manufacture defence vehicles.” Even if we could find the companies, even if we could re-skill the workers and retool the plants, I would like to ask [more]

DebateNo. 098

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to present a petition signed by the law-abiding property owners of Carleton, Kanata, Nepean, Nipissing—Timiskaming and my great riding of Algonquin—Renfrew—Pembroke. C-270 The petitioners are raising awareness about the lack of legal protections homeowners and landowners have when they must protect themselves, their property and their families against violent [more]

DebateCombatting Hate Act

Mr. Speaker, right now, the streets are full of murderers, rapists, thieves, extortionists and gang violence. How would this bill fight what is currently the scourge on our streets? Could the Liberals have not spent this time on jail, not bail, instead of wasting our time by blocking freedom of speech?

DebateCombatting Hate Act

C-9 Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise on behalf of the kind-hearted, loving people who cannot be censored from Algonquin—Renfrew—Pembroke to speak to Bill, an act to fuel hate. The Liberals claim that their motivation is to combat hate. The hate Canadians have witnessed in our streets is real. The Liberal commitment to fighting it is fake. Canada was stitched together by people of different [more]

InterjectionCombatting Hate Act

Mr. Speaker, that question illustrated my point. I have a point of view that the member disagrees with, so what does he do? He calls me out as a racist and somebody who is fomenting hate, alleging that we are the ones introducing all these different cultures into Canada.

Mar 23, 2026
DebateNo. 097

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition signed by the freedom-loving Canadians from my riding of Algonquin—Renfrew—Pembroke. They are concerned over the Liberal government's decision to sign Canada on to the WHO's pandemic agreement that was agreed upon last May, right after Canadians voted in the last election. This legally binding treaty will give unprecedented powers to the [more]

InterjectionCombatting Hate Act

Mr. Speaker, it began in 2015. As the woke agenda and everything else rolled out, it became extreme, so I would say 2016 is when it began.

InterjectionCombatting Hate Act

Mr. Speaker, the questions and the comments from the opposition clearly illustrate why we are opposed to this bill. People who disagree with what we say or our point of view want us to be accused of committing a hate crime. Just saying what we think, even though it is counter to what they think, does not necessarily mean it is an act of hate. We were here when the original hate law was put into [more]

InterjectionCombatting Hate Act

Mr. Speaker, there again we heard from someone who does not agree with my seeing a certain bill as overly secular. Instead of just debating the point, the member equated me to the President of the United States.
