“I am presenting a petition about permanent residency security checks taking over five years. These delays hurt applicants and keep families apart. The petition asks the government to share clear updates and create an independent watchdog to investigate long delays.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by over 13,000 people about prolonged security screening delays for PR applicants. Internal IRCC projections reveal that PR applications referred for comprehensive security screening are projected to take nearly 65 months, which is over five years, to complete. I have so many constituents who are faced with this problem. The petitioners point out that the applicants from certain countries of origin face indefinite, non-transparent delays, that these delays cause severe harm, including prolonged family separation, mental health crises and significant financial burdens, and that the applicants lack meaningful recourse or transparent case information. The petitioners call on the House for a number of measures to ensure accountability and transparency, so that people will know what is going on with their file. They want the reporting of data and for an independent immigration ombudsperson to investigate chronic delays and provide a formal escalation channel.”

“The Prime Minister is ignoring environmental groups and Indigenous leaders who disagree with him. He needs to stop silencing people and protect the environment.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister told Canadians, “we don’t want to hear what people are against; we want to hear what they’re for”. He has abandoned the environment. He is gaslighting environmental groups that have been calling for renewable energy for decades. No wonder the former environment minister resigned and Liberal MPs feel they can raise their concerns only anonymously. This is an authoritarian approach, not democracy. Will the Prime Minister stop his bullying tactics, the sidelining of indigenous leaders who dare to disagree with him, or do they need to do what Danielle Smith is doing: threaten to hold a referendum to separate from Canada?”

“The government is cutting $5 billion in promised transit money for cities. This will mean fewer buses and higher costs for commuters. Will the Prime Minister bring this funding back?”

“Mr. Speaker, at a time when gas prices are skyrocketing, the Liberals are quietly slashing $5 billion from promised transit funding to local governments, all part of the Prime Minister’s cuts, funding that cities rely on to keep people moving and to fight climate change. That means fewer buses, delayed projects and higher costs for commuters. Why is the government abandoning working people and municipalities when they need support the most? Will the Prime Minister reverse these reckless cuts in the spring economic update and reinstate the promised stable long-term transit funding, yes or no?”
