Téléjournal Mr. Speaker, here is what Gérald Fillion said onyesterday: “We are back to the time-honoured tradition of big-spending Liberal budgets.” The budget adds a record $765 billion in new debt over five years. That is $44,000 per household. Meanwhile, families are struggling to afford groceries and young people cannot afford a home. Will the Liberals finally listen to us and agree to our [more]

Mr. Speaker, what would have actually been helpful would have been to cut taxes at the pump, because that affects everyone. That is a well-known fact. The Conservatives proposed to eliminate all federal fuel taxes to save Canadians 20¢ a litre, or $1,200 per family. However, the Liberals chose instead to add $151 billion in additional spending. My question is very simple: Why are the Liberals [more]

Mr. Speaker, clearly, their measures are not working. Visits to food banks have now reached 2.3 million. That is unprecedented. We are learning that one in five young people has to go into debt to pay for basic necessities. Meanwhile, the government is spending billions of dollars on bureaucracy, consultants and corporate welfare. The Conservatives want to cut that spending and suspend the GST [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, thepromised to cut spending, but instead he doubled the deficit, which is now at a record high. While the Liberals are spending like there is no tomorrow, Canadian families are having to tighten their belts to make ends meet. According to a new report from the Salvation Army, one in three Canadians is skipping meals or cutting down on portion sizes. Will the Prime [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Bank of Canada says inflation is going to remain high and exceed 3% until the end of 2027. As a result, the cost of living will continue to rise, putting even more pressure on Canadian families and farmers. Furthermore, the government intends to increase the federal fuel excise tax. The bank itself admits that this increase will drive up inflation. This is completely [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am quoting the Bank of Canada, which is confirming the Liberal government's failure on the economy. Our growth has plateaued at 1%, which is less than half the rate in the United States and barely one-third of the global growth rate of 3.1%. Worse still, half of this result comes from government spending alone. According to the Bank of Canada, “Finding work continues to be [more]

Mr. Speaker, may I remind the House that, just this week, the Liberals refused to acknowledge the cost of living crisis? A 67-year-old woman in my community has been forced to take house cleaning jobs 25 minutes away from home. She cannot afford winter tires or groceries. Food bank usage has increased by 30% nationwide since 2019. Who was in power then? It was the Liberals. Will the government [more]

Mr. Speaker, Quebec's food banks are overwhelmed. They are now handling a record number of requests for food assistance—more than three million every month. That is a 44% increase over the past five years. One in three children relies on food banks. Vulnerable households now spend 112% of their disposable income just on food, housing and transportation. Will this government adopt our plan to [more]

S-242, An Act respecting national action for the prevention of intimate partner violence moved that Bill, be read the second time and referred to a committee. She said: Mr. Speaker, we have discussed some very poignant issues today, social issues that affect us all. I would like to add another point this evening. I am going to address a subject that is sensitive, difficult to hear and, of [more]
