Madam Speaker, the government does not care. It does not care about Canadians. It does not care that there are 2.2 million Canadians going to the food bank. It is willing to waste $80 billion of your money just this year alone. It is willing to allow 100,000 people in a single month, your dad, your brother, your son, to go without a job. If it really cared, it would try to do better, and it does [more]

Madam Speaker, what I support is a government that chooses to do better. That was the trademark of the Liberals' previous prime minister. In the previous iteration of the government, which continues to this day, that was the mantra, that it could do better. Does doing better mean 2.2 million Canadians going to the food bank? Does doing better mean an $80-billion deficit? Does doing better mean [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am honoured by the opportunity to recognize Easter Seals for the incredible work it does. Since 1922, it has been a tireless advocate for the disability community, helping to create a more inclusive and accessible society. Last year alone, the organization sent more than 6,000 people of all ages to camp and worked with more than 150,000 individuals across Canada. Raising awareness [more]

Shefford Madam Speaker, before I begin, I wish to inform the House that I will be sharing my time with the member for. I also want to thank my colleague from the Bloc Québécois for moving the concurrence motion today. I believe this issue is truly important to Canadians. I am always happy to speak out against government waste. Leader of the Opposition I am very fortunate to have had the position [more]

Madam Speaker, I think we agree. That is why we are having this debate today. It is because we agree that there are serious problems. The government is incapable of avoiding waste and lacks the ability to do things right. As my colleague said, we could look for examples of good projects and improve the way things are done, but right now, that is not an option under this government. Like my [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General dropped another scathing report on the modernization of the pay system. This pay system is now costing taxpayers over $4.2 billion, but the government fails to learn from the Phoenix fiasco, which is costing millions of dollars more for taxpayers every single year. The government has had an entire decade. When will it fix the system and stop wasting taxpayers' [more]

Mr. Chair, can the President of the Treasury Board confirm that the bill is presented in its usual form?

Mr. Chair, can the President of the Treasury Board confirm that the supply bill is in its usual form?

Well, Mr. Speaker, public servants are actually scared to retire, because they do not trust the pay system, and it is no wonder. There are over 230,000 transactions that are backlogged, and many of those are more than a year old. The government has had 10 years, and now it wants to fast-track the old system to the new system. When will they fix the system and give public servants confidence in [more]

So—just to clarify—the first order of business at the next meeting will be to continue this exercise.

Your report indicates that in 2023, Public Services and Procurement Canada set a target to eliminate all pay transactions that were one year or older by March 2026. Since then, the department's internal reports through September 2025 indicated it would not meet the target. How can Canadians have confidence in a government that once again can't even meet its own targets?
