00:00Oral questions, questions orales. The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:07After the Prime Minister broke his promise to, quote,
00:12negotiate a win with the Americans by July 21st,
00:16lumber tariffs have more than doubled, and job losses are piling up.
00:21Cap paper is potentially laying off 300 workers in northern Ontario.
00:25That is on top of 800 workers who are losing their jobs at Imperial Oil.
00:31TransCanada and Enbridge are building more in the United States as their headquarters move south,
00:37after the Prime Minister broke his promise to build baby build.
00:42Doesn't the Prime Minister realize that when he doesn't do his job, Canadians lose theirs?
00:48The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:50Mr. Speaker, our sympathies are with the families of the workers at Imperial Oil.
00:58Our actions are with the workers and the management of Cap Paper,
01:04who are having meetings with the Minister of Industry,
01:07a variety of other government officials today to work.
01:09Our support is four-square behind Algoma Steel,
01:14with $400 million between the federal government and the province of Ontario
01:18to build Canada strong.
01:22The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
01:25Since he took office, 86,000 more Canadians are unemployed.
01:29We have the second-highest unemployment in the G7.
01:33This is all the result of out-of-control government spending and taxes.
01:37Every dollar the Prime Minister spends comes out of the pockets of Canadians.
01:41And now the Parliamentary Budget Officer rates his deficits as, quote,
01:45very alarming, stupefying, shocking, unsustainable.
01:48If you don't change, this is done.
01:50Something is going to break.
01:52We are at the edge of a cliff.
01:54Those are the words of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
01:57When will he stop his out-of-control spending?
01:59When he's over the edge of the cliff?
02:01The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
02:04Mr. Speaker, there's a little thing called cause and effect.
02:12And the cause that the Leader of the Opposition is missing
02:15is the U.S. tariffs.
02:19The U.S. tariffs that are hitting steel.
02:20The U.S. tariffs that are hitting lumber.
02:22The U.S. tariffs that are hitting our auto sector.
02:25That's why we need to build this country strong.
02:28That's why we're getting spending under control.
02:30That's why we're going to spend less to invest for, I believe, in this country, Mr. Speaker.
02:35Here, here.
02:36Come join us.
02:37The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
02:44Spend less?
02:45Deficit spending is up almost 100% since this Prime Minister took office.
02:51And as for investment, it has fallen.
02:54In fact, $50 billion of net investment has left since he took office.
02:58And yet he repeats the same promises the Liberals have been making for a decade.
03:02They said their deficits would lead to more investment.
03:05Since they took office, investment is down by 10%, the worst investment record in the G7.
03:10In fact, with $600 billion more debt under this government, investment has fallen.
03:16How much more debt would they have to add on the backs of Canadians to reverse this disastrous result?
03:23The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
03:27Mr. Speaker, once again, it's time for a little fiscal lesson for the Leader of the Opposition.
03:35Strongest credit rating.
03:36Strongest credit rating in the world.
03:38AAA, S&P and Moody's.
03:40Lowest deficit in the G7.
03:42Lowest debt level in the G7.
03:44Lowest debt to GDP in the G7.
03:48Biggest potential in the G7.
03:50This side of the House believes in Canada.
03:52Come join us.
03:56The Right Honourable—I'm sorry, the Leader of the Opposition.
04:00Mr. Speaker, I know that sometimes it gets heated in this place.
04:04Recently, I said that this Prime Minister was just as irresponsible with money as Justin Trudeau.
04:10And I now realize that that was unfair to Justin Trudeau.
04:13In reality, he has increased the deficit by almost 70% above what Justin Trudeau left behind.
04:23And now the Parliamentary Budget Officer describes this Prime Minister's deficits as alarming, stupefying, unstable, unsustainable.
04:30If you don't change, this is done, and something is going to break.
04:35How is it even possible for this Prime Minister to be more fiscally incompetent than the drama teacher?
04:40Mr. Speaker, I can't imagine why it gets heated in the House with language like that.
04:52Yeah, exactly.
04:53The former Prime Minister.
04:54This government is conducting a comprehensive spending review.
05:02This government is building houses.
05:06This government is building projects in the national interest.
05:09This government is building Canada strong.
05:12Come join us.
05:14Well done.
05:16The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
05:17Mr. Speaker, coming from a real economic expert, the Parliamentary Budget Officer has said that this Prime Minister's deficits are very alarming, stupefying, shocking, unsustainable.
05:35If you don't change something, this is done.
05:36Something is going to break here.
05:42Canada isn't over the cliff yet, but it's looking out over the cliff.
05:49Mr. Speaker, every dollar being spent by this Prime Minister is coming out of Canadians' pockets.
05:54Will he finally recognize that Canadians can no longer pay the bill for his incompetence?
06:02The Right Honourable, Prime Minister.
06:03Mr. Speaker, Canada has the strongest economic record in the G7.
06:14Canada has some of the lowest long-term interest rates in the G7, lower than the American rate.
06:25On this side of the House, we have a great deal of ambition.
06:29We will build Canada strong.
06:34Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
06:36Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised the Canadians would be able to judge him by their experience at the grocery store.
06:43Well, that experience is what is now being called struggle meals, where Canadians are now sharing tips on how they can scrounge together meals that are often of lower nutritional value,
06:53because that's all they can afford.
06:55Food price inflation has accelerated to almost double the Bank of Canada's target, rising 50% faster in Canada than in the United States since this Prime Minister took office, promising the reverse.
07:08Will he finally axe the Liberal taxes on groceries so that Canadians can afford to eat?
07:15Mr. Speaker, the right Honourable Prime Minister.
07:21Monsieur, Monsieur le Président, Monsieur le Président, il n'y a pas...
07:25Mr. Speaker, there is no GST on groceries.
07:29Number two, we cut the carbon tax.
07:31There's no carbon tax.
07:32There's no carbon tax on farms.
07:34There's no carbon tax on grocery stores.
07:36There is no carbon tax.
07:38No, there's not.
07:39On anything under 50, anything under 50 kilotons, Monsieur le Président, but we see the big picture.
07:45We know that real wages have been growing every single month since I became Prime Minister.
07:51Yes, they have.
07:51Well done.
07:55The Honourable Deputy de Belleuil-Chambley.
07:58The Honourable Member for Belleuil-Chambley.
08:01Mr. Speaker, the government has just interfered in an already very complex negotiation
08:08within Canada Post.
08:13And I can only call that provocation in the context of an already very complicated conflict.
08:21The government is adding to the uncertainty that is being felt by many families, not just
08:27workers' families.
08:28It is creating uncertainty in various towns in Quebec's regions, and I expect elsewhere
08:33in Canada as well.
08:34It is also causing a great deal of alarm to seniors.
08:38So, let me get this clear.
08:40What does the Prime Minister think of the Postal Service?
08:43The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
08:49Mr. Speaker, the Postal Service is an essential service.
08:53We need a viable postal service.
09:02Currently, the situation is difficult.
09:07Canada Post is losing millions of dollars.
09:12We need to take action.
09:13We need to restructure.
09:14I think that the government's deficit is going to be much larger than Canada Post's losses.
09:25But if this is really an essential service, Mr. Speaker, why are these radical cuts being
09:33made?
09:34Let's show some consistency.
09:36And workers learned about these cuts on their TV, rather than actually hearing about what's
09:43going to happen.
09:45The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
09:52Mr. Speaker, I have just arrived here as Prime Minister.
09:56It has been some time that we've needed to have changes at Canada Post.
10:05Because it is an essential service throughout the country.
10:13The Honourable Member.
10:16Mr. Speaker, if Quebecers and Canadians had wanted to have the Conservative Party in power,
10:20they would have voted for the Conservative Party.
10:23The Liberals' fiscal and climate and oil strategies are basically conservative strategies.
10:32Same thing with these austerity strategies.
10:35Will the Prime Minister put an end to his wrong-headed strategy and instead bring in serious experts
10:41to reform a postal service that does, in fact, need reform?
10:45The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
10:48Mr. Speaker, it is Canada Post's and the Union's responsibility to find a solution between
10:56themselves.
10:57But in this context, we need more flexibility for Canada Post in a manner that is consistent
11:09with the report.
11:10The Honourable Member for Thornhill.
11:11Every dollar that the Prime Minister spends comes out of the pockets of Canadians in Liberal
11:16taxes and inflation.
11:18The Prime Minister should know this.
11:19He calls himself a great economist, but he's going to spend over 60% more than even Justin
11:26Trudeau did.
11:27Parliament's independent fiscal watchdog says this, quote,
11:31It's alarming, it's stupefying, it's shocking, and it's unsustainable.
11:35He says something is going to break and that we're on the edge of a fiscal cliff.
11:39So why is the Prime Minister going to drive us off that cliff at full speed?
11:43Mr. Speaker, that's why we said that we need to spend less so we can invest more.
11:53Unlike the Conservative, Mr. Speaker, I believe in Canada.
11:58I believe in Canadians.
12:00I believe in the will of this nation.
12:02We have the talent to lead in the 21st century.
12:05We have strong industry.
12:07We build planes.
12:08We build cars.
12:09We build ships.
12:09We have critical minerals.
12:11We have energy.
12:12We're the only country in the G7 to have a free trade agreement with all the other G7 nations.
12:17Instead of talking about Canada, they should celebrate the work of this government.
12:26The Honourable Member for Thornhill.
12:28Mr. Speaker, it is this Liberal that in 2015 promised that massive deficits were investments.
12:36But it was all a bait and switch because investment collapsed while debt went through the roof.
12:41But instead of sobering up from the debt binge that they've been on, the Liberals are just going to keep spending more money in a forever hangover.
12:49That means higher taxes and higher inflation for every Canadian.
12:53The first step in fighting addiction is admitting you have a problem.
12:57So when will the Minister stand up and finally admit that his reckless spending is sending us over the cliff?
13:04Mr. Speaker, same old Conservatives, Mr. Speaker, same old, same old slogan, Mr. Speaker.
13:16She might have missed that we cut taxes for 22 million Canadians, Mr. Speaker.
13:21She might want to talk to people in her riding and across the nation.
13:25The first thing that this government did was to tackle affordability.
13:28You know why, Mr. Speaker?
13:29Because that's what Canadians told us.
13:31They also told us to build homes.
13:33That's why we created Canada Homes, Mr. Speaker.
13:36They told us to build the most resilient economy.
13:39That's what we're going to do.
13:39We're going to build the most resilient economy in the G7.
13:42We're going to be strong.
13:43We're the North.
13:45The Honourable Member for Calgary, Midnapore.
13:48The Liberals assured us in 2015 that running massive deficits was an investment.
13:55A decade later, we all know that it was just a bait and switch.
14:00The reality is that despite consistent efforts to falsely stimulate the economy,
14:05investment in Canada has collapsed.
14:08Ten years of Liberal broken promises.
14:10Debt up equals investment down.
14:13We know that this budget will have a massive deficit.
14:15But does the Prime Minister really expect Canadians to believe
14:19that doubling down will change the results?
14:24The Honourable Minister of Natural Resources.
14:28Mr. Speaker, we're retooling the Canadian economy
14:30by advancing national projects of interest.
14:33We're making Canada the strongest economy in the G7.
14:36That means shortening project reviews to two years
14:40and removing duplication while maintaining the environmental standards
14:44and are working with Indigenous peoples.
14:47Mr. Speaker, we are making Canada stronger.
14:50It would be great if they would support us.
14:52The Honourable Member for Calgary, Midnapore.
14:55Another Liberal bait and switch.
14:57The Prime Minister promised to cap spending,
15:00yet he's on track to double Trudeau's deficits.
15:03He promised to make Canada the strongest growing economy in the G7,
15:07yet we have the worst economic performance in the group.
15:09He promised to create jobs.
15:12But in reality, 86,000 Canadians have lost their jobs
15:16since this Prime Minister took office.
15:18So when will the Prime Minister tell Canadians
15:20that the plan to grow our economy was just a scheme to get elected?
15:25Mr. Speaker, on Friday, I was just out in Vancouver
15:33celebrating the launch of LNG to be sent across to our allies.
15:3975,000 Canadians worked on that project, Mr. Speaker.
15:44Last week, we approved with the province of British Columbia
15:47the Cilissum LNG facility, which will be as big again.
15:51Mr. Speaker, we are building Canada strong.
15:55The Honourable Member for Northumberland, Clark.
15:59Every dollar the Prime Minister spends
16:01comes out of the pockets of hard-working Canadian workers,
16:03families and seniors.
16:05Justin Trudeau promised that deficit spending would be an investment.
16:08The results? The debt went up, the investment went down.
16:11That gave Canada the worst economic record in the G7
16:14and the worst inflation in 40 years.
16:16No matter what these Liberals promised,
16:18the results are always the same.
16:20More debt, higher costs and declining investment.
16:23Why should Canadians believe that this time will be any different?
16:27The Honourable Minister of Industry.
16:30Mr. Speaker, interest rates are down.
16:33And when you look at it, wages are growing higher than inflation as we speak.
16:38And meanwhile, CPPIB CEO says that the world's largest investors
16:43are focusing on Canada.
16:45Mr. Speaker, what are we doing?
16:47We're building national major projects.
16:50We're making sure also to launch a new defence industrial strategy.
16:54We'll create jobs in this country.
16:56And meanwhile, the opposition needs to come on board
16:59to make sure that Canadians benefit from it as well.
17:02The Honourable Deputy Deputy de Louis Saint-Laurent-Aké-Ouenrac.
17:05The Honourable Member for Louis Saint-Laurent-Aké-Ouenrac.
17:10Mr. Speaker, every dollar spent by this Prime Minister
17:13comes directly out of Canadians' pockets.
17:16And the Parliamentary Budget Officer has called these Liberal deficits,
17:20and I quote,
17:20very alarming, stupefying, shocking, unsustainable.
17:23If you don't change something, this is done.
17:27Those are not my words.
17:28It's the PBO.
17:29Also, Mr. Speaker, does the Prime Minister realize
17:32that he is driving Canada directly off a cliff?
17:38The Honourable Minister of Industry.
17:40Well, economists don't agree with what my colleague is saying,
17:43because currently interest rates are going down,
17:46and wages are going up compared to inflation.
17:49We are attracting capital from throughout the world,
17:54and we are going to do that through national interest projects
17:59like the Conte-au-Coeil port in Montreal
18:01or the Northern Quebec Rail Line
18:06that will bring everything to the port of Sagney.
18:09We are working on these major projects.
18:11We will build more housing,
18:13and we will also create an industrial defense strategy.
18:16The Honourable Member.
18:19Mr. Speaker, these were not my words.
18:22They were the words of the Parliamentary Budget Officer.
18:25In addition, the Prime Minister promised to cap government spending.
18:29But the PBO has confirmed
18:31that this is just another broken liberal promise.
18:35Trudeau's deficits are about to double.
18:38Unbelievable.
18:40Once again, the PBO said that something has to break here.
18:43He has told us that we are very near the edge of the cliff.
18:46Could the Prime Minister rise and recognize
18:50that he is once again bringing Canada into a situation
18:55where it will be crushed by unsustainable deficits?
18:58The Honourable Minister of Finance.
18:59Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister, Mr. Speaker,
19:05is actually driving the country towards prosperity.
19:10We need to invest more
19:12and ensure that Canada is able to prosper.
19:17We have talent throughout this country.
19:19We can build cars, ships, planes.
19:22We have critical minerals.
19:24We have abundant energy.
19:26And we are the only country in the G7
19:28to have a free trade agreement with all countries in the G7.
19:31On the other side of the House,
19:32they should be celebrating this Prime Minister's achievements.
19:35We will make Canada the strongest country in the G7.
19:38The Honourable Member for Laurenti Labelle.
19:41Mr. Speaker, this government has caused the postal crisis.
19:45It announced its Canada Post reform
19:46without telling workers,
19:48who had to learn it in the news.
19:49They learned about it in the news
19:53and now nobody is getting their mail.
19:55Some people are not able to get their paychecks
19:57or have to go elsewhere to get them.
20:00Businesses are having to improvise to deliver packages.
20:02And Quebec is concerned that people won't get their ballot
20:04to vote in the municipal elections.
20:07All because the minister improvised
20:09and didn't consult anyone.
20:11What was the minister really expecting?
20:15The Honourable Minister for Government Transformation.
20:19I'd like to thank my colleague for the question.
20:24But I'd like to set things straight.
20:26This conflict has been going on for 20 months.
20:29The union was on strike in 2024.
20:33I wasn't yet the minister.
20:34And so when she says that we did not have any consultations,
20:37well, what we're doing is actually bringing in
20:40the recommendations of the report
20:42that looked at Canada Post's finances.
20:44We are bringing in sensible strategies to ensure that
20:52while Canada Post is losing millions of dollars every day,
20:55we cannot wait any longer.
20:58The Honourable Member for Laurenti Labelle.
21:00Mr. Speaker,
21:02the federal government is the one that caused this postal crisis.
21:05I have a great example.
21:07Passports.
21:07People waiting for passports that won't arrive in time
21:12will have to go into Service Canada
21:13and in some cases pay hundreds of dollars to get their passport.
21:17And Service Canada is actually under the same department
21:19as the Postal Service.
21:21Clearly, it didn't even occur to Service Canada
21:25to try to fix this.
21:27And no one asked people what should be done
21:29before turning things upside down at Canada Post.
21:31Why are Quebecers once again having to pay
21:33for liberal incompetence?
21:34The Honourable Minister.
21:40Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
21:43We have a plan for Canadians to get their passport.
21:46For people who have a situation with their passport
21:49stuck in the mail,
21:49and we are available 24-7 to help Canadians.
21:54Honourable Member for Foothills.
21:58We know that the Prime Minister was misleading Canadians
22:01when he cancelled the carbon tax.
22:03And I want to quote the food professor, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois,
22:07who stated it perfectly.
22:09The carbon tax...
22:11That's...
22:12You can't say deliberate.
22:13That's...
22:14I...
22:15I...
22:15I...
22:16I...
22:16I asked the Member to start over
22:19without that particular language.
22:22I mean, inadvertently, maybe.
22:25Inadvertently, but not...
22:26I wouldn't suggest that the Honourable Member
22:29is intentionally doing something like that.
22:33Mr. Speaker, we know the Prime Minister
22:38was doing a classic liberal bait-and-switch
22:40when he told Canadians he cancelled the carbon tax.
22:43And I want to quote the food professor, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois,
22:46who put it perfectly.
22:48The carbon tax was not eliminated.
22:51Only the consumer portion was reduced to zero.
22:53The industrial carbon tax remains in place
22:56and has actually increased since April 1st.
22:58We argue numerous times that the carbon tax across the supply chains
23:02is undermining the competitiveness of our agri-food sector.
23:06Why is the Prime Minister pulling a Bain switch
23:09and taxing farmers and the food Canadians rely on?
23:12Mr. Speaker, the industrial carbon price is essential to our credibility
23:21as a responsible energy supplier
23:23and key to gaining market access as we diversify our exports.
23:28It's driving over $57 billion of investment,
23:32enabling carbon capture projects like the Pathways Project
23:36and reinforcing Canada's leadership as a low-emission LNG producer.
23:41Mr. Speaker, this is the right thing to do.
23:44The Honourable Member for Foothills.
23:46Well, I'd like to give the Prime Minister some facts.
23:48The fact is, food prices have increased nearly 40%
23:51since these Liberals were elected 10 years ago.
23:54I saw it at the grocery store this weekend.
23:56Pork shoulder was up 37%.
23:58My coffee was up 25%.
24:00A little package of lunch meat was almost $10.
24:04The Prime Minister said he would be judged by food prices.
24:07Food Banks Canada has now said a quarter of Canadians
24:10are struggling to put food on the table.
24:12That should never be the reality in this country.
24:16Will the Prime Minister do the right thing,
24:18support the Conservative motion,
24:19and scrap his taxes on farmers and the food Canadians rely on?
24:24The Honourable Minister of Jobs and Families.
24:28Mr. Speaker, Canadians are well aware of who has their backs,
24:31and that's why they chose this Liberal government in the last election,
24:35because over the last 10 years,
24:37they've watched Conservatives vote against all of their interests,
24:40whether it was for programs for kids,
24:43programs for seniors,
24:45training for tradespeople,
24:47investments in agriculture.
24:49These Conservatives vote against it.
24:51I hope by the nature of that question, though,
24:53that they won't vote against the tax cut for 22 million Canadians.
24:56That's how they help Canadians, by standing with them.
24:59The Honourable Member for Long Range Mountain.
25:02Mr. Speaker, every dollar that this Prime Minister spends
25:05comes out of the pockets of Canadians
25:07in higher Liberal taxes and inflation.
25:11Let's start with the grocery aisle.
25:13The Prime Minister promised he would be judged
25:15by Canadians' experience at the grocery store,
25:18and since he took office,
25:20food prices have been rising 50% faster than the U.S.
25:24Greta from Trout River, a widow,
25:27has reached out saying prices on everything
25:30have gone through the roof.
25:31She can't afford to eat, Mr. Speaker.
25:34Will the Liberal Prime Minister stop taxing groceries
25:37so Canadians can afford to put food on their tables?
25:41Mr. Speaker, while the Conservative leader
