Mr. Speaker, the government is setting up the CPPIB, the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, which is viewed around the world as the gold standard for governance, primarily for the reason that it is free from political interference. Every time the government uses the net debt-to-GDP ratio, it confuses the public by suggesting that the assets of the CPP, in effect, may be available to the
Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise in the chamber on behalf of constituents of Simcoe North. I understand that we are running late on debate, so my comments will be brief this evening in order to provide opportunity for other colleagues to make an intervention. C-31 I would just like to point out that Billis 338 pages long. It was first introduced in the chamber in May. We are not even
Mr. Speaker, the challenge I have is that most, if not the vast majority, of the increase of the liabilities of CPP that the government is now backstopping are related solely to the apartment sector. I think it is clear where the government's priorities are. It is preferencing apartment building rentals, in terms of increasing supply, at the expense of other forms of home ownership, and that is
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague very much, but let us spare Canadians the lecture. Prime Minister When Paul Martin was the finance minister, he met every single deficit reduction target and fiscal anchor that was imposed. At the very first opportunity, theis choosing to break it. In fact, there has not been a finance minister in over a decade that has bothered to even care to keep the
Mr. Speaker, my colleague has made valuable contributions in a very short time in the chamber. We need to give young people hope in this country. They need to think that home ownership is attainable.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer says that figure will grow to nearly 14% in just a few years, and in fact, debt service payments are the fastest-growing line item in the budget. Does the government want this to be
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, theassumed in his first budget that interest rates would stabilize and go lower, except they have actually been going up, including at the Bank of Canada. That means that Canadians will pay more when they renew their mortgage, but it also means taxpayers are on the hook for billions more. Why is that? It is because the Prime Minister chose to double the size of the
Mr. Speaker, it was devastating for social services delivery across the country when the Liberal government started downloading additional responsibilities, because it had to drastically cut its spending to make the bond markets happy. The bond markets are not happy right now, and we might see continued pressure on our fiscal finances as a result.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the constituents and residents of Simcoe North to talk about some important issues facing the economy and the importance of promises. What is a promise if one has no intention of keeping their word? When a politician makes a promise, some people immediately think the politician has no intention of keeping their word. I think many politicians make promises
Mr. Speaker, I was unaware that the member was such a proponent of supply-side economics. Prime Minister The truth is that the fiscal position of this country is being eroded. It is not getting better under the, even though he made that commitment to Canadians, when we are going to spend nearly 14¢ out of every tax dollar brought in on interest on the debt. Interest on the debt is the
Mr. Speaker, I have shared many good conversations about economics with my colleague. I find him to be incredibly smart, and his question is quite correct. Prime Minister Thedoes not need to show up to question period every day, and he does not, which is maybe why we are asking that he might show up to a committee to answer some questions about this. finance minister Prime Minister While I have
