Mr. Speaker, I think Canadians understand that at a time like this when we have to face going into deficit, we should be doing it to invest in infrastructure that will build the country for the future. I am wondering if the member could talk a bit about the concept of separating our operating and capital expenditures and moving to try to balance the operating budget as a government over the [more]

Mr. Speaker, violent crime in Toronto has reached historic lows, with homicides and shootings declining significantly over the past two years. In fact, across Canada, homicides decreased by 125 in 2025 compared to 2024, which is the largest year-over-year decline in nearly 40 years. While there is more work to do, these results matter. Can the Minister of Public Safety update the House on the [more]

Mr. Speaker, it will be critical, in order to do this work, for the data to flow. The data needs to be linked so that across different parts of the health care system, we can follow a patient's journey over time. Once that occurs at the technical level, we have to figure out how we will govern the data, how we will make sure that privacy is protected and how we will ensure that the data is [more]

Winnipeg North Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time today with the member for. When I was a health system and academic leader, we used to talk about having two jobs in health care. First was taking care of the patient of today. To do that work, obviously, we need access to the health data across a patient's journey, no matter where they are in the health care system. We also talked about [more]

Mr. Speaker, I think we all know that the barriers for health care workers in the system today are considerable. There is a lot that artificial intelligence, for example, can do to improve the productivity of our health systems and reduce administrative burdens on our health care providers, whether they are a home care worker in a home, a PSW in long-term care or a nurse practitioner in primary [more]

I want to thank my colleague for his speech, which I listened to with great interest. I would like to commend my colleague, who spoke in both official languages. S-5 I want to talk a little about data blocking and ask the member opposite whether he believes the banning of data blocking is a good thing. We have seen some very serious instances, in his province and in mine, of companies refusing [more]

Madam Speaker, I want to thank the hon. minister for her leadership on this very important bill. We all know that this bill is going to save lives across Canada. I would also like to ask the minister a question about access to our own health data. We know that Canadian patients want access to their own medical records. S-5 How might Billfacilitate that?

Mr. Speaker, in my colleague's riding today, as in mine, there are family physicians like my colleagues who are spending an inordinate amount of time chasing results, trying to figure out what happened to their patient when they were admitted to the hospital and what changes were made to their medications, and calling the pharmacy to try to figure out what occurred. This bill would lay a [more]

C-31 Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to participate in today's debate about Bill, the budget 2025 implementation act, no. 2. This debate is very timely, as has already been pointed out in the House today, because budget 2026, as we all know, is only a few days away. Like all Canadians, I am worried about the circumstances in which our country finds itself. We are experiencing a trade war at the [more]

C-30 C-31 Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for the interventions she made at the finance committee on both bills, Billand Bill. The reality of a budget bill is that they are broad and touch on many aspects. However, they do come to the finance committee. I was happy, as a member of the committee, to hear the feedback we heard from a wide variety of experts, including the member opposite [more]

Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of a transition. We are moving from an economy that depended on the oil sector to a system based on renewable electricity and renewable energy. That is what we are focusing on right now as a government. We need to put the necessary infrastructure in place to make this transition to wind and hydroelectric power, which, incidentally, is very important in Quebec. For [more]

Mr. Speaker, there are ways of ensuring that an individual's or a family's actual income is sufficient to purchase basic necessities. Obviously, that is very important for health. However, there is also the issue of uncertainty. People who are living in poverty live in uncertainty, and that also has an impact on their physical and mental health. Programs such as the Canada child benefit for [more]

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour the beautiful life of Charles Novogrodsky. Charlie and his wife Myra came from the U.S. as war resisters in the 1960s and fell in love with multicultural Toronto, where they could be rooted in their Jewish identity and engaged with the incredible diversity of languages, cultures, sports and foods embraced by their neighbours. Charlie's lifelong commitment to [more]
