How does Fred Davies's voting record line up with your values?
Mr. Speaker, it is a sad reality in the country that we have come through so many years where we have government subsidizing the problems it created in the first place. Do we need to help people with food insecurity? Absolutely we do, because they have food insecurity, but we cannot continue to throw cheques at people without dealing with the underlying structural failure of government to deal
C-31 Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House to contribute to the debate today on Bill. The bill is back from committee at report stage, and it is our last chance to amend it before third reading. A budget implementation bill is where promises meet the actual commitment in law, and the test is rather simple. Would it make life more affordable? Would it build what the country needs?
Mr. Speaker, where do I begin? What concerns me as a relatively new member of the House is coming here and looking at a budget document like this, where we have repackaged problems into subsidies. I do not believe that Canadians want to have continual subsidies thrown at them for problems that the government has refused to, has failed to or will not solve. As I said a minute ago, we have
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the work that we have done on the all-party border caucus. The caucus is non-partisan, for the most part, and we talk about issues like this. The allocation of resources from CBSA among border communities is a continuing problem across the country. I guess there are CBSA resources that are going to come to the port of Hamilton soon, but we could have expanded economic
Mr. Speaker, in Niagara, trade with the U.S. is not just a talking point. It is a paycheque and a lifeline for tens of thousands of workers. My riding is home to the Peace Bridge, the third-largest commercial border crossing in Canada. The Welland Canal bisects my riding and is literally the beating heart of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Every truck, every ship and every job depends on a working
Mr. Speaker, recent data shows that we have an innovation exodus to the United States. It is up 142%. Thirty-four per cent of immigrants with a Ph.D. leave Canada within 25 years, and the innovation sector earns 46% more in the United States. Prime Minister The Liberals have brought in too many people too fast for housing and health care, and now Canada's best and brightest are leaving,
Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, we are sitting in an immigration system that has over 30,000 people who want to come to Canada under the start-up visa program and are stuck in bureaucratic purgatory. That is not progress. That is a failure of our system. On the flip side, today's national security strategy is a nothingburger and fails to address the serious screening problems for non-citizens
Mr. Speaker, on June 2, 1866, nine Canadians were killed at the Battle of Ridgeway. It was Canada's first battle fought on Canadian soil using Canadian troops with Canadian officers. Ultimately, 32 young Canadians died. Most were barely out of adolescence. Many people argue that this battle against Fenian raiders who crossed from the United States intensified discussions leading to Confederation.
