00:00:00.000 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:00:01.680 Government, the Liberals have no climate plan.
00:00:04.460 What they have is a tax plan that has failed to reach a single, solitary, environmental target that they have set.
00:00:12.120 Meanwhile, gas prices have hit $2.40 a litre in Vancouver.
00:00:17.620 This is the same city which is the third most overpriced real estate market on earth.
00:00:22.680 In other words, people can't afford to drive, they can't afford homes,
00:00:25.860 and, with food prices rising faster than in 40 years, they can't afford to eat either.
00:00:31.300 Will the government show some compassion for British Columbians and Canadians
00:00:34.760 and cancel its plan to triple the tax?
00:00:38.020 The Honourable Deputy Prime Minister.
00:00:42.420 Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives don't have a climate plan.
00:00:47.020 All they have is a plan to take away $1,000 checks from families in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:00:54.900 And you know what?
00:00:56.320 They don't have a plan to make life more affordable for Canadians either.
00:01:00.220 All they have is a plan to drain our pensions and our EI.
00:01:04.880 Our government does have a fiscally responsible plan to support Canadians with affordability,
00:01:11.500 and we have a plan to act on the climate.
00:01:15.320 Canadians know that, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:17.120 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:01:19.240 The only ones draining EI of money is this government.
00:01:21.820 They want to raid the EI fund for $10 billion.
00:01:25.940 Take the money that Canadians pay in EI taxes and spend it on everything but EI.
00:01:32.100 The Minister admits she's going to raise EI taxes by $2.5 billion starting on January 1st.
00:01:39.140 With Canadians facing the highest inflation in 40 years, just inflation.
00:01:44.000 With Canadians struggling to feed themselves, what is this government thinking by raising taxes on paychecks?
00:01:50.500 You know, Mr. Speaker, when you look past all the huffing and puffing, all the strutting and posturing,
00:02:04.460 here's what's happened this week.
00:02:06.340 The Conservatives have done a U-turn and accepted our targeted and fiscally responsible plan
00:02:14.240 to help 11 million vulnerable Canadian families with GST rebates of nearly $500.
00:02:21.500 Now it's time for the Conservatives to drop their utterly reckless scheme to drain our pensions and EI
00:02:28.960 and to support our plan to help Canadians pay their rent and take their kids to the dentist.
00:02:33.560 The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:02:35.780 This government has been draining the paychecks and pocketbooks of Canadians.
00:02:40.120 Just this week, the Angus Reid Institute published a poll showing that 51% of Canadians are struggling to eat.
00:02:49.980 In Canada, a G7 country, the majority of people cannot afford groceries.
00:02:58.480 That is seven years of this Liberal government.
00:03:01.500 Canadians are out of money.
00:03:03.280 This government is out of touch.
00:03:04.880 Why won't they cancel their tax hikes so Canadians can afford to eat?
00:03:08.800 The Honourable Deputy Prime Minister.
00:03:11.800 You know, Mr. Speaker, you know who's out of touch?
00:03:21.720 The people who are out of touch are a party that believes it's a good idea to slash our pensions
00:03:32.480 and to undermine the EI system.
00:03:35.080 You know what else is out of touch?
00:03:36.740 It's out of touch not to have a plan to act on climate.
00:03:43.220 And you know why that's out of touch, Mr. Speaker?
00:03:45.500 Because our customers, our clients, the U.S. and the EU, they are taking climate action.
00:03:52.680 They will only buy Canadian products if we take climate action, too.
00:03:56.840 The Leader of the Opposition.
00:03:58.720 Madam Speaker.
00:03:59.520 Mr. Speaker, the Minister totally ignored the question.
00:04:02.800 51% of Canadians cannot afford to eat.
00:04:06.040 Food bank use has tripled and hits record every single month, according to the Daily Bread Association.
00:04:14.520 Students are living in homeless shelters while they study.
00:04:20.640 This is Canada, after seven years of this Liberal government getting worse now under this costly coalition.
00:04:28.520 Will they wake up to what's going on in this country and cancel their heartless tax hikes?
00:04:32.880 Mr. Speaker, our government will take no lessons from the Conservatives when it comes to protecting vulnerable Canadians.
00:04:50.660 Our government has lifted hundreds of thousands of Canadian children out of poverty with the Canada Child Benefit.
00:04:59.300 We have lifted seniors out of poverty by increasing the OAS and by reversing the ruthless, cruel Conservative pension cuts.
00:05:09.340 You know who owes Canadians an apology, Mr. Speaker?
00:05:12.060 It is this new Conservative leader who recklessly advised them to destroy their life savings by investing in Bitcoin.
00:05:20.060 Thank you.
00:05:20.780 Thank you.
00:05:21.240 Thank you.
00:05:22.860 Thank you.
00:05:23.460 Thank you.
00:05:23.780 Thank you.
