Mr. Speaker, one of the issues the Liberals seem to keep putting forward is just little dribs and drabs of a tiny bit of new supply: a hundred homes here, a hundred there. It is clear that Canada needs hundreds of thousands of new homes. We are in a supply crisis, not a government spending crisis. I wonder if my colleague could comment on the fact that there is nothing in Build Canada Homes that [more]
Mr. Speaker, I am glad the Liberals brought up the issue of China. The government operations committee today heard of hundreds of millions of daily attacks on the government's cyber system.

Mr. Speaker, my colleague, my almost-neighbour from Edmonton, made a great comment. One of the issues that has come up a lot today is about the need to reduce red tape.

Then you quickly stopped yourself and we had kind of a laugh because we understand that the government can't access that. It would be [more]
I want to get back to one of the things I bring up every year. I'm sure you're ready for it. We always hear the government claim that our net debt-to-GDP is the best in the G7. We brought up before with you, several years ago, that it includes the assets from the CPP and the Quebec pension plan. I notice that this year's public accounts—it's the first time I've seen it—state that this should not [more]
Thanks, Chair. Mr. Leswick, when will Finance issue a clear definition regarding “operating” and “capital” for budgeting? Does that come from the Treasury Board?
It says, “stimulates public and private sector capital formation”.
