| Mr. Randall Garrison | I am very pleased to see the commitment in the budget implementation act to the red dress alert, but I want to ask the member whether she shares my concern about the announced cuts of $150 million to women's shelters across the country. That money was provided during the pandemic, when domestic violence rates spiked, a... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Ms. Ruby Sahota | I can understand that women's shelters and other organizations that received funding from our government during the pandemic were able to get through the pandemic because our government stepped in at that time, when no one else was there to help them. Just like all Canadians, they were going through a very problematic ... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mrs. Anna Roberts | budget 2023 continues the Prime Minister 's record of high taxes and inflationary deficits. The Prime Minister has added more debt than all other Canadian prime ministers combined and has no plan to balance the budget and control his inflationary deficits, which are driving up the costs of the goods we buy and the inte... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Kevin Lamoureux | the member did not start her speech off very well. When she talked about seniors, she tried to give the false impression that the government is not there for them. Virtually from day one, this government has been there for seniors. We can talk about the substantial increase to the GIS. We can talk about legislation and... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mrs. Anna Roberts | I would like to ask what good the dental plan is when my seniors cannot even afford to pay for gasoline to go to the grocery store to buy groceries. They cannot afford groceries. The rebate does not offset the cost of the carbon tax, heating or medical expenses. The member is talking about dental, which is great, but s... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mrs. Julie Vignola | my colleague talked a lot about housing, a subject on which we agree. A few weeks ago in committee, I questioned a witness about the Century Initiative, which seems to have inspired the government to increase the number of immigrants to Canada to a minimum of 500,000 a year. When I questioned the witness, I asked if an... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mrs. Anna Roberts | time and again, we have said that we need to build more affordable homes. The hon. member is absolutely correct. We cannot allow 500,000 new immigrants to come to this country and provide them with the false promise that they will be able to have homes for their families, when we are not building them.

| Mr. Blake Desjarlais | I often find, in this place, that we really try to find solutions to the many problems Canadians face. The member pointed out several important issues that, from my perspective, require addressing. However, one of the biggest aspects the New Democrats have called for is the idea of an excess profits tax, and I would lo... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mrs. Anna Roberts | we need to understand that Canadians are working to ensure they provide for their families. However, as long as the Liberal government continues to recklessly and foolishly spend money, scandal after scandal and trip after trip, those tax dollars are going to increase, which means Canadians will have less money in thei... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mrs. Cheryl Gallant | the member tirelessly champions seniors. It was mentioned that seniors are now more likely to be visiting food banks to be able to eat. Just two weeks ago, the Minister of Agriculture announced Canada's first food policy, and the food policy is going to be to fund food banks.

| Mrs. Anna Roberts | I volunteer at some food banks, and this is what I have been hearing: They are desperate, because they have to turn people away. There are people going from food bank to food bank so that they can get enough food to feed their families. We need to stop this foolishness.

| The Deputy Speaker | I want to issue a reminder that using props is against the rules. In this case, it was a page from a document. I would like the member to go get the piece of paper that he used as a prop and threw on the floor. Then we can continue with questions and comments. Thank you very much. | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Hon. Greg Fergus | I will not use any props as I ask my hon. colleague a question. I know that it is not all fun and games here in the House, but things do get done. One of the things that gets me down is when members exaggerate. The government announced $31.2 billion as part of the national housing strategy.

| Mr. Denis Trudel | is it not against the rules to accuse another member of spreading misinformation in the House? My speech was completely accurate.

| Mr. Brad Vis | I congratulate the member for Longueuil--Saint-Hubert on his spirited speech. In my province of British Columbia, the birth rate continues to decline, just like in Quebec. Would more births in Quebec help fix the language crisis? How can we encourage Quebeckers to have more babies? | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Denis Trudel | encouraging Quebeckers to have more babies is a trap. They will not have more babies. Let us be honest, people in the west are not having babies. One way or another, we need to encourage francophone immigration to address the language crisis throughout Canada and Quebec. It is extremely important. People are not having... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Brian Masse | the area I represent has over 300 years of francophone culture. The citizens I represent there are now going to be able to get dental care, and we have some of the highest rates of child poverty in the country. What would the member have to say to those people if we were to not do a budget that includes child care or a... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Denis Trudel | it needs to be said: We always get the impression that the NDP is in the wrong Parliament. There is a party in Quebec called Quebec Solidaire that is proposing this type of measure. It is working out quite well because when we talk about dental care, that is part of Quebec's responsibility for health care. Obviously, I... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Martin Champoux | during the period of questions and comments following the speech by my esteemed colleague from Longueuil--Saint-Hubert, the member for Hull--Aylmer claimed indirectly that my colleague from Longueuil--Saint-Hubert was spreading lies in the House.

| Mrs. Anna Roberts | I would like to reference a remark that the member made about my comment. Could he please explain to me why Sheila has to live from overdraft to overdraft, paying 21% just to heat her house and to buy groceries?

| Mr. Chris Bittle | this is wild. She did not correct her comment that she does not need dental care, that she is having trouble. That she does not need to no have pain and that she does not deserve to have a smile is beside the point.

| Mr. Brian Masse | the member mentioned the Volkswagen plant. We have been after a national auto strategy for a long time in this place. The original plan was with Dr. David Suzuki, my then friend and former MP Joe Comartin and the CAW, and now Unifor, back in 2006.

| Ms. Sylvie Berube | as my colleague stated, we keep repeating the same thing, but, there is no mention of regional flights in Bill C-47 . Regional flights are out of reach.

| Mr. Chris Bittle | it is a very specific question about her region. The only thing I can say is that the airlines are private entities. I know the opposition likes to point to the government and say that it is our fault that flights are delayed, that this and that is our fault. These are private companies across the country-- | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. John Williamson | the Liberals are becoming tiresome with their one answer to the affordability crisis.

| Mr. Xavier Barsalou-Duval | I found my Conservative colleague's speech very interesting. It was really a typical Conservative speech, where the member rants and raves about debt.

| Mr. John Williamson | those comments are typical because these policies work. When we reduce taxes, we see that there is more economic activity in Canada. In terms of debt, the provinces also need to act responsibly. In my home province of New Brunswick, Premier Blaine Higgs cut spending, and the province is in a very good position.

I think the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation needs to return more to its roots. We have to look at more not-for-profit and co-operative housing.

| Mr. Patrick Weiler | it is an honour to rise today in this House and speak to budget 2023 and, more important, Bill C-47, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023 .

| Mrs. Jenica Atwin | I know my colleague and I share a passion for the environment. Something I was really excited to see as part of the budget was the Canada water agency and protections for our fresh water in the country. Can he comment on how important that is and how it is achieving a commitment we made to Canadians across the country? | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Patrick Weiler | there have been many years of work put into designing this new Canada water agency. We are excited that it is going to be in the Prairies, in Winnipeg. There are so many different federal agencies in Canada that have some type of responsibility related to water. This would provide an opportunity for all of those differ... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Marty Morantz | I note that the member did not discuss the deficits that are projected in the budget. If we look through to 2027-28, they project that the combined debt of Canada will be over $1.3 trillion, which is more than double what it was when the government took office.

| Mr. Patrick Weiler | I think it is very important that we remain fiscally prudent in this budget, and always. In my province of B.C., we have seen an example of perhaps too much spending. Recently, B.C. had its credit rating downgraded and we have not seen that in Canada. I think that is an important measure to understand the fiscal sustai... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Mike Morrice | I appreciate the member's advocacy on the climate crisis, and I also appreciate hearing his comments when it comes to new subsidies that were introduced in this budget for the very sector most responsible for the crisis that we are in.

| Mr. Marty Morantz | I would like to talk about "a line we shall not cross." Only one short year ago, the finance minister said, "let me be very clear: We are absolutely determined that our debt-to-GDP ratio must continue to decline." It did not. In fact, it went up.

| Mrs. Jenica Atwin | I listened intently to the speech by the member opposite this morning. By the sound of it, he was supporting some progressive ideas that he had hoped to see in the budget.

| Mr. Marty Morantz | the reality is that we need to be able to afford to have these things.

| Mr. Blake Desjarlais | the member spoke directly about some of the massive issues facing Canadians. Some of them are the most critical when its come to affordability.

| Mr. Xavier Barsalou-Duval | I thank the member for his speech. What I found interesting was that he used the word "workers" a lot.

| Hon. Mike Lake | it is astonishing to me to hear the NDP and Liberal members stand up in the House, with the record-shattering levels of debt and spending they are undertaking together, and call for, in the debate today, more spending.

| Mr. Marty Morantz | in 1995, the most draconian budget in Canadian history was brought in by Liberal finance minister Paul Martin. Why did he do it? It was because he had to. He had to do it because the Government of Canada was broke. It could no longer borrow money. It had hit a wall. The Wall Street Journal was saying that Canada was an... | HOUSE OF COMMONS | CA |

| Mr. Mike Morrice | my concern with the talking points from the Conservative Party is that they are playing on justifiable anger but then not offering reasonable solutions.
