“The government is looking at selling our airports to private companies. That will hurt travellers. I want the member to promise the government will not privatize Canada's airports.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have known my colleague for a long time. I have a lot of respect for him. The spring economic update states that the government is “assessing opportunities to unlock the...value of airports in support of investments in Canada’s long-term growth, including through alternative models of ownership.” The Liberal government is looking at privatizing airports. This is not something that even Conservatives would do. Rod Sims, the former chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, highlighted that “the travelling public loses big time, over time” when they tried this experiment. Will my colleague stand in the House and tell the Canadian public that they will not privatize Canada’s airports?”

“I want the member to push her government to make a free medicine deal with Ontario. People in her province need coverage for prescription drugs.”

“Mr. Speaker, first I want to congratulate my colleague on her election. She has been a strong proponent of a universal public pharmacare plan. She has long advocated and argued that a national single-payer pharmacare program would actually save money, but now she represents a riding in a province that does not have a pharmacare deal. Can New Democrats, the people of Ontario and the people of her riding count on her to be a champion, to force her government to get to the table with Ontario and deliver on the promise of a national pharmacare plan so those people in Ontario can actually get access to it?”
