Conservative on Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2 2026-06-01

229 words · 12 sentences · 20 clauses

Replying to Helena Konanz (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague mentioned that he is knocking on doors and that his constituents are talking about lower grocery costs, making our streets safer, lower taxes and more affordable housing. I am hearing that at the doors also. I am sure all of us are hearing some of the same things, at least. Why does the member think the Liberals would create this bill that is basically ignoring what Canadians are really asking for?”

Madam Speaker, Claims · 36 wordsI am sure Liberal MPs are hearing the same thing. They are hearing about food prices, housing costs, safety on the streets, all the same things we hear about. It is pretty uniform across the country. Thanks · 6 wordsIt is a very good question.Thanks Positioning · 13 wordsWhy does that not make its way into something like a budget bill?Positioning Claims · 96 wordsThere are tiny little smatterings of it in here, but most of it is about other things, and it is a real shame because what the government is doing is not impacting Canadians, the average Canadian, the way it needs to. Average Canadians are still struggling. We have heard recently that food bank usage is up, ²and actually, a quarter of food banks are running out of food.¹ These are real problems faced by real Canadians every day, and none of these things are addressed properly or even close to in any way in this budget. Positioning · 4 wordsIt is a shame, PositioningClaims · 49 wordsand because we do not have the time to actually go to committee and study this, because we are probably going to get pushed to end this quickly, we will never have a chance to understand that. Canadians will never truly know what is going on in this budget, Positioning · 25 wordsand it is just something that I think is bad. It is a shame, and it is a shameful way for the government to act.PositioningOff point
