Statements by Members

Question Period

The Conservatives condemn the Liberal recession, noting declining investment and high food bank usage. They blame government policy for plummeting homebuilding and rising housing costs. Additionally, they demand action on attacks by foreign regimes and criticize lenient sentences for non-citizens, while calling for tougher penalties for traffickers and protections for private property rights.
The Liberals emphasize their legislative productivity and G7 economic leadership. They highlight criminal justice reforms and stiffer penalties, including measures against coercive control. For affordability and growth, they tout increased housing starts, lower rent costs, and private property rights, alongside the national school food program.
The Bloc denounces the government's climate betrayal and pipeline agreements, while criticizing concessions to Trump that harm culture. They also condemn unsupported tariffs on Quebec and demand that nuclear decommissioning consultations be conducted in French.
The NDP demand clean drinking water for Indigenous communities and criticize the government's support for war in Iran.

Adjournment Debates

Youth employment and economic opportunities Garnett Genuis highlights a youth unemployment crisis, advocating for Conservative proposals like new jobs plans and parental leave reforms. Yasir Naqvi defends government initiatives, pointing to investments in Red Seal trades and the Canada summer jobs program, while emphasizing the need for collaborative support for young Canadians.

Ryan Turnbull acknowledges the challenge, suggesting that models like employee ownership trusts could offer potential solutions for business succession, though he stops short of proposing immediate legislative action.
