Criminal Code  moved for leave to introduce C-411, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (arson — wildfires and places of worship). Mr. Speaker, today I am tabling legislation to protect Canada's forests and places of worship from arson. My bill, the anti-arson act, will create two new offences in the Criminal Code.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I want to extend my condolences to the family of Gilles Perron. Our country relies on exports. Energy, especially oil, represents 10% of our exports. I know that Germany, Japan and Greece told the Prime Minister that they would like to have access to these products.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, this is a headline. It says, “'Impossibly unaffordable': Vancouver 3rd-worst city for housing”.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his work on the defence file. On defence, could he comment on the fact that the Liberals are saying they are going to increase the amount of expenditure over the next five years, but they are actually cutting back this year? It is as though they are putting everything down the road and saying they are really increasing, but they are actually decreasing.

National Canadian Seafood Day  Madam Speaker, Conservatives will be supporting this motion. I am a member of Parliament from the west coast and, obviously, seafood, the fisheries and fishing have been part of British Columbia's history from the time it began with the first nations and for the past couple of hundred years with fishers.

Taxation  Madam Speaker, after nine years of the Prime Minister, Canada is going through the worst decline in living standards in 40 years. I recently spoke to a local mortgage broker. He told me that, since the budget was announced, a dozen doctors have contacted him about closing their practices and moving to the United States.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I find my Bloc Québécois colleague's comments a bit sad. He said that this carbon tax does not affect Quebec because it does not apply there, but the fact is, the Parliamentary Budget Officer says it is costing Canada more than $30 billion per year, and that does have an impact on Quebec.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we are seeing the worst growth of income than any Prime Minister since the Great Depression in the 1930s under the Liberal-NDP coalition. Of the 40 advanced countries in the OECD, Canada is projected to have the worst growth for the next three decades. Does the member not recognize that their policies, their tax policies and their governance is destroying our nation?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the OECD, which is the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, has projected that Canada will be among the worst of 40 advanced nations for the next three decades, that we are just going in a totally wrong direction. There has been a war on Canadian industry, on the resource sector, which we hear time and again from the previous speaker.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the Liberals talk a lot about climate change, day in and day out. They use it to justify imposing a carbon tax that does nothing to change the climate but essentially impoverishes Canadians and shuts down industry. Sustainable Development Technology Canada was doing a good job under the appointees by Harper.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I think the member is having a memory lapse. I went through the process about how the Liberals let it all flounder. This is nine years down the road. I know right now the Liberals are doing lots of other promises, nine years down the road, saying that they are going to do this, they are going to do that.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I do not need a line; I need a word. It is called “misery”. What Canadians are feeling right now is misery. The standard of living is going down, nothing is getting done, nothing is getting built and it is just time for a change.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, that is an amazing question because I do have the answers. Let us give a few little examples. Let me see. The Liberals did it as well. For example, in the notice paper on November 26, 2018, a notice of a motion deleting the short title for Bill C-87 happened. That was interesting.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, right out of the starting blocks, I will say that I will be supporting the bill, as my Conservative colleagues will be. There may be those who think it is our duty as an official opposition to oppose all legislation put forward by the costly Liberal-NDP coalition, that it is our duty to vote against it.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, let us talk about that. I know that members on the other side of the House are eager to jump into this right now, but the fact of the matter is that the Liberals promised it. They promised to introduce a more effective oversight of federal law enforcement agencies in, drum roll, 2015.
