Public Controversies
In 2017, Peter Fragiskatos faced criticism for using parliamentary resources to send mailings into a neighbouring riding, London West, just before a federal by-election was held there. Opposition parties accused him of using taxpayer-funded mailouts, known as 'ten-percenters,' for partisan purposes to support the Liberal candidate in that race. Fragiskatos defended the mailings, stating they were intended to inform residents in the broader London community about his work on a local issue.

Mr. Speaker, the general uncertainty that has been prompted by the tariffs levied against Canada in such an unjustified way has created uncertainty in business. We know that the Conservatives almost always fail to mention this, but it is a key point, and it is a key point relating to the youth unemployment rate. The productivity mega deduction has been mentioned here at length today. It should
Mr. Speaker, it is a great honour to rise to honour the life of Patricia May Martyn, who passed away recently at the age of 86. Married for 66 years to her best friend, Harold, together they raised four children, Paul, Linda, Anne and Karen. Karen, of course, is our former colleague, Karen Vecchio, who served the House so ably and with such great talent and dedication from 2015 through 2025.

I know the Conservatives opposed the fundamental tenets of that bill, but we did respond in a very good way to the court decision. C-3 The point raised by the member is
Mr. Speaker, I rise to honour the incredible life of Gord Hume, a Londoner who passed away recently at the age of 76. Gord was born in Saskatoon. He came to London in 1980. He first worked in news media, but made his most lasting contributions to our community as a city councillor. He was elected in 1997, was on the council until 2010, and especially contributed, through the millennium committee
Mr. Speaker, the member raises the question of veterans, ultimately. I would remind him of the Conservative record on veterans and the endless cuts we saw under Conservative leadership.

Mr. Speaker, if he is going to cite Food Banks Canada and its report, he should look at the recommendations. The recommendations are clear. The groceries and essentials benefit is something the organization called for. This government enacted it, and 12 million Canadians are now receiving it. The organization also called for, among other things, housing. We have a serious focus on housing and the
Mr. Speaker, there certainly is hardship in Canada. We should not ignore that fact. What we should do is work together and not politicize the hardship of Canadians. The member knows that. All members know that, or should know that. We have six million Canadians receiving the Canada child benefit. We have 6.5 million Canadians receiving dental support. We have 400,000 children receiving the
