Public Controversies

She quoted a Bible verse often associated with the anti-abortion movement and read from a letter that critics said contained misinformation about transgender people. LGBTQ2+ advocates and other politicians condemned her comments as harmful. During the 2021 federal election campaign, she was also criticized for distributing a campaign flyer that featured a stock photo of a person in a hospital bed. The BC Nurses' Union, among others, called the flyer misleading and suggested it was an inappropriate use of healthcare imagery for political purposes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr. Speaker, a recent study by the Montreal Economic Institute estimates that the government's buy Canada policy could drive up costs by more than $12 billion a year. During an affordability crisis, does my colleague think paying much higher prices for Liberal vanity projects like Alto rail is the best way to help Canadians keep more of their hard-earned dollars in their pockets?

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, 2.6 million Canadian jobs depend on getting those tariffs resolved, and a year in, there is still no deal, no timeline and no negotiation.

Mr. Speaker, the Parliamentary Budget Officer released four reports on the Liberals' costly credit card budget this morning, and the picture they painted, in our briefing with Annette Ryan, was deeply concerning. Here is what she confirmed. We still do not have clear definitions of what counts as capital versus operating spending, so she cannot verify whether the government is meeting its own

What is happening in my community of Surrey and Cloverdale should be a warning to every member of the House. Quiet neighbourhoods are being hit by gunfire. Families are wondering whether they are safe in their own homes, and businesses are being threatened. The rule of law is being
Mr. Speaker, I could not help but notice earlier when one of my Liberal colleagues shouted the famous Buzz Lightyear line, "To infinity and beyond” in response to today's space bill. That seems to be the level of seriousness this Liberal government has when it comes to such an important issue. This sort of trivialization raises a serious question. When Canadians see this kind of attitude, they
