Mr. Speaker, what is wokeism? At first, the term “woke” was used to describe someone who was aware of and offended by the injustices and discrimination experienced by minority groups. Today, however, this once-positive idea has been appropriated by a movement that is using it for political gain. Nowadays, wokeism is a culture that shuns, boycotts or cancels anyone who dares to disagree with its virtuous proponents. Was I wrong at the beginning of the pandemic when I said that planes from China should not be allowed to land in Canada? Am I wrong to bring up the fact that immigrants should not be permitted to enter Canada willy-nilly at Roxham Road? For both those opinions, I have been called a racist. However, Quebeckers defend their heritage, culture and language and make no apologies for it. The Quebec nation is bucking wokeism, and we will too. The new Conservative leader will put people, their pensions, their paycheques, their homes and their country first.

Mr. Speaker, in 2015, the Prime Minister's decisions hurt Canadians' personal finances. For example, he said he cut income tax, but in the same breath, he did away with the children's fitness tax credit and income splitting. He also promised to eliminate interest on student loans, but now he is going to increase it. Will the Prime Minister promise not to raise taxes?

Mr. Speaker, before the pandemic even began, this Prime Minister was spending like no other prime minister in Canadian history. His out-of-control spending has led to record high inflation. Now Canadians are paying exorbitant prices for products and services. Just to add fuel to the fire, he also plans to further increase the carbon tax. Canadians already cannot afford to put gas in their cars or feed their families, let alone dream of buying a house one day. Will the Prime Minister promise not to raise taxes?
