Government Business No. 11—Proceedings on Bill C-26
“Will your housing subsidy money actually go to small towns? Or will you forget rural Canada like last time? Liberals always forget everyone except big cities.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Grant Jackson
Jackson consistently advocates for his Manitoba riding, criticizing the Liberals as out of touch with rural and Western Canada. He presses for lower taxes and spending to address affordability, and speaks freely against what he sees as government overreach and mismanagement. His questions often go unanswered, but he keeps pushing.
Oral Questions
Infrastructure
“The Prime Minister should say whether he really wants to require LNG to be shipped through the port of Churchill by 2030 as a condition of federal support for the port's expansion project.”
Government Orders
Combatting Hate Act
“I don't want to look at the facts. I want to only listen to the opinions of certain people. I want you to think they speak for everyone. I want my opinion to win.”
Government Orders
Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30
“It's laughable that you've been in this place so long and still can't plan to get your legislation finished. You always act surprised when regular things like summer happen. When are you actually going to figure out how to get your job done?”
“I agree with you that rushing bills through Parliament without proper debate or study is bad. I think the government using programming motions to limit debate damages public trust in Parliament. I want you to say more about how these tactics hurt our institution and the people we represent.”
Oral Questions
The Economy
“The Prime Minister spends lots of money on fancy plane food. More Manitoba families can't put food on the table. 30% of people going to food banks have a full-time job. The government gets an F for how it handles poverty. The government should do more to lower food prices.”
Government Orders
Business of Supply
“My friend here gets it. People are struggling under this government. But the Liberals just can't admit their reckless spending jacked up prices and screwed everyone over. They spent their way into this mess for 11 years straight. When will they own up and change course? People deserve an honest reckoning for once.”
“You can't talk about whether someone is here or not. Follow your own rules.”
“The Liberals keep saying they saved money. I don't see it anywhere. They spent way more than they said they would. It's been 11 years of bad ideas. We need them to stop spending so much.”
“The government is stuck. It's making things worse, not better. It's not helping the economy, it's just spinning its wheels. It's like it's stuck in the mud. People across Canada need things to get better, especially young people and people in Manitoba. But the government isn't helping. They need to take a hard look at themselves and admit they need to change.”
“I don't like when the government says mean things about me. It makes me sad. It's not fair. More people are using food banks. Food prices are high. People can't buy houses. I think the government caused all these problems.”
Oral Questions
Transportation
“I want the transport minister to do something about this safety loophole. The Liberals knew about it and didn't fix it. A woman died because of their inaction. They should be held responsible for not preventing this tragic accident.”
Government Orders
Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2
“I want the House to end debate and vote now.”
“Okay, I'll be honest. I'm bringing up this office in Brandon to make the Liberals look bad. It doesn't matter if my party closed it first. I want to use it to score points against them. They criticized us for closing it temporarily, but now they've closed it permanently. I want to point out their hypocrisy.”
“The Prime Minister said he would get a trade deal with America. But there's no deal. So the tariffs are hurting everyone. Especially Quebec. The government should take our plan. Our plan asks for no tariffs. The government should use our leverage against America. Then our products could enter tariff-free. Then we'd all be better off. The government should use our plan.”
“The Liberals promised to help Manitoba but they aren't spending any money on the one big project they talked about. I don't see a dollar figure for it. And they have six MPs from Manitoba - couldn't they come up with anything else? I want to say the Liberals are letting Manitoba down.”
“I'm going to talk a lot about how bad the Liberals are with money. They've been in power a long time and things are worse, not better. They say more deficit spending will fix everything. It never does. Lots of Canadians need food banks now. The Liberals won't admit any of this. They just spend more and ignore questions. They need to stop.”
“The government is picking winners in the defence industry. The Prime Minister is talking about Saab and surveillance planes. But what about western Canada? What about jobs in my riding? Winnipeg's Magellan Aerospace makes parts for the F-35. I want the government to make a decision on fighter jets. And I want the member to advocate for aerospace jobs in my riding, not just in eastern Canada.”
“I want to complain about the Liberals rushing this bill through. I don't trust them. Their majority government abuses its power. I want the member to say his constituents don't like this either.”
Government Orders
Business of Supply
“I am saying the Liberals want businesses to need the government to succeed. I want more competition. I want less meddling from the CRTC. I want the government out of the market. I want the Liberals to vote for less meddling today.”
