MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Muys reliably pushes standard Conservative economic talking points - blaming the Liberals for high costs and a weak economy, while calling for less taxes and regulation to spur growth. He fills time with kind words about the military and his riding, but consistently wants more details, oversight, and transparency in legislation to avoid giving the Liberals a blank cheque. He's clearly concerned about possible Liberal corruption and insiders getting special deals.
Government Orders
“The bill says nothing about what this $1.7 billion will actually do. I think that's bad. What will this money buy us? How much housing? How affordable? The bill doesn't say.”
“We're asked to approve $1.7 billion with no idea how many homes will be built. The Province hasn't even said when or how it'll be implemented. Nobody will answer how many homes $1.7 billion buys. Instead of throwing money at it, let's make building easier, cheaper — less fees, taxes, and local barriers. Conservatives want to remove those.”
“I want an economy with strong growth like we had under the Conservatives many years ago so that home builders will make more homes.”
“I'm filling time with kind words and saying nothing anyone could pin down later. I don't like that. I want taxpayers to spend more money. More money for my program.”
“I'm filling time with kind words and saying nothing anyone could pin down later. Conservatives support building more houses, but this bill gives a blank cheque to the finance minister with no clear plan. They just keep announcing money without explaining how it will actually get homes built.”
Statements by Members
“I attended a fun local event for the military and first responders. I want people to think well of me for showing up and saying thank you.”
Government Orders
“The other side should think about how government taxes and fees drive up the cost of housing. One third of the cost of a home is from government taxes, fees, and delays. That's too much. It makes housing too expensive for young people.”
“I think a government agency to build houses will get too big and expensive. How many managers will it have? Will they get high pay and bonuses before they build any houses?”
Statements by Members
“The Prime Minister made big promises and didn't keep them. I think that's bad. Lots of Canadians are struggling. I want to blame the Prime Minister for that. We want a special debate to make him tell us his plan to fix the economy. We think that would make us look good.”
Government Orders
“Liberals made our economy bad. Conservatives would make it good. Our economy was good 11 years ago. Now it is the worst. Liberals are bad.”
“I want to blame the Liberals for the middle class suffering. Canada used to be the most prosperous and now people have too much debt. I think the government must be the reason.”
Government Orders
“The Prime Minister said to judge him on grocery prices. A year later, groceries cost more. How is the Prime Minister doing?”
Government Orders
“Canada used to have a rich middle class but now we have the lowest private sector investment in the OECD. That's because of our taxes and regulation. We opened a Major Projects Office to help with this. In less than a year, other countries expanded LNG capacity. But we haven't started building anything yet.”
“You say the government can't explain what this new slush fund does or how it works. That's because it lets the Prime Minister reward his friends with taxpayer money! I bet this sovereign wealth fund will be just as corrupt and full of Liberal insiders as the infrastructure bank is. Watch them give money to their pals and donors all over again.”
Oral Questions
“The Liberals spend too much and now Canadians have to pay more for everything.”
Government Orders
“The member's space bill is full of holes. It has no real plan, just a blank cheque. The private sector won't invest because they need certainty that the government won't change the rules on them. This could drive away investment.”
“I think the last question was good. I want to ask more questions like that. There should be more rules and oversight. I like the private sector. Conservatives like the private sector. But there needs to be more balance. More rules will make companies want to invest.”
“The other guy is right. Space people can't do security. We need to see how this big expensive project will really keep out the wrong people. The bill doesn't say.”
“We agree that the space economy has great potential. Conservatives have always supported that. But this bill has big problems. It gives too much power to the minister. That's concerning because of possible Liberal corruption. The bill isn't transparent. Where are the rules?”
“I want Canada to pass a good space law. I don't trust this bill because the Liberal minister gets too much power. I want more details and oversight. I want the bill to help Canada's space industry grow and compete. I don't want insiders getting special deals. Let's study the bill carefully and make it better.”
