Conservative on Canadian Fuel Affordability Act 2026-09-22

221 words · 8 sentences · 13 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, the member can review her own math. I question the math she just provided. Let us take a more holistic approach. An hon. member: Oh, oh! Hon. Kevin Lamoureux: No, her numbers are wrong. Anyway, Mr. Speaker, let us take a holistic approach in dealing with this issue. Does the member believe that the Conservatives should support other programs that provide support on affordability, like the dental care program and the nutritional school food program? Are those not programs that help with affordability?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 63 wordswhat I heard loud and clear when I was touring my riding and meeting with Canadians from coast to coast to coast this summer is that they want agency. They want to make decisions as to how they spend their own money. They think they can spend their money a lot better than Ottawa can spend their money. They might have different priorities. Reasoning · 19 wordsSome of the programs mentioned by the Liberals are well and good for the people who can access them, Claims · 20 wordsbut far too many Canadians are stuck on waiting lists or are waiting in line trying to access those services, Reasoning · 36 wordsso they do not do anything for affordability for the thousands and thousands of Canadians who are stuck waiting in line trying to get access or stuck waiting for the schools that have not done anything. Claims · 71 wordsOne of the biggest frustrations, whether it be with the school food program or the day care program, which are provincial responsibilities, is that the Liberals have not worked as well with the provinces as I think they could have or should have to deliver these services. What they have done is create layers of bureaucracy, which means that right now over 30% of food bank users in Canada are children.¹ Positioning · 12 wordsThat is a shame, and that is a shame on the Liberals.Positioning
