Mr. Speaker, Canadians are out of money, and the Prime Minister is out of touch and often out of the country. While Canadians struggle to put food on the table and a roof over their heads, the Prime Minister has very different priorities. Here are the numbers that the Prime Minister is concerned about: $80,000 is the value of a trip paid for by Trudeau Foundation donors; 15 is the number of celebrities he met during the lavish trip to New York; and 45 is the number of selfies taken.
Thanks to the Liberal-NDP carbon tax coalition, here are the numbers that concern Canadians: zero is the number of emission targets hit; 41¢ is the increase in the price of gas per litre; $150,000 is the price an average farm family will have to pay thanks to the carbon tax; and 34% is the amount grocery prices are predicted to increase by 2030.
Canadians are living a nightmare and paying for the Prime Minister's authoritarian dream. A Conservative government will scrap the carbon tax scam, bring home powerful paycheques and ensure that the dreams of Canadians come first.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to pay honour to a remarkable young man from Edmonton Mill Woods, Jaspreet Singh Pandher, who passed away on January 20 at the age of 32.
Jaspreet spent several years on our Liberal government team serving Canadians and building a better country. He had a deep passion for Canadian politics and dedicated himself to advancing inclusivity and quality. He was humble, worked hard, spoke thoughtfully and always knew exactly how to make people laugh.
To the family and friends of Jaspreet who are here in Ottawa today, and all those who knew him irrespective of political stripe, I extend my sincere condolences. May Jaspreet Singh Pandher's legacy continue to inspire those he touched for many years to come.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister could not be more out of touch with reality.
He heard that there were problems with passports, but he was not aware that Canadians could not get one. He thought the images were the problem. That is why he got rid of Quebec City, Terry Fox and even the Battle of Vimy, where 3,598 Canadians died to defend freedom and define our country.
Why does the Prime Minister want to erase this important part of our history?

Mr. Speaker, Canadians will receive their passports on time. They will be able to travel and continue to be proud of their country and history.
I want to point out that no one will take any lessons from the Conservative Party about how to treat veterans. The Conservatives were always very quick to use them as a symbol or for photo ops. Meanwhile, they were shutting down veterans offices across the country. They were slashing funding for veterans. They were constantly attacking veterans instead of supporting them.
On this side of the House, we are there to defend our veterans and always will be.

Mr. Speaker, the question was about why he is deleting our veterans from our history. Why is he deleting the 3,598 Canadians who gave their lives at Vimy so Canada could have freedom and victory? He is erasing them, and with that, he is insulting all of our veterans.
Why will the Prime Minister not stand up for our history, get connected to reality and keep the images in our passport that make us so proud to be Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, right now, veterans across the country are being reminded of what the Conservatives did with veterans. They wrap themselves in the flags and the symbols any time they can, but they, in fact, nickelled and dimed our veterans, used them for photo ops and shut down nine veteran services offices across the country so they could try to save a little money through cuts.
Conservatives have always disrespected veterans while wrapping themselves in the imagery. We are going to continue to deliver for veterans every single day.

Mr. Speaker, despite that high school drama production, he just closed every single veterans office in Canada by causing the biggest strike in Canadian history.

Order. There seems to be some excitement building. I want to nip it in the bud. We are here to have a clear debate, which means that when someone is speaking, members do not shout, regardless of what side one is on.
The hon. Leader of the Opposition may take it from the top, please.

Mr. Speaker, in the new passport they are so excited about, they have erased Vimy Ridge to put in an image of a squirrel eating a nut. They have erased Terry Fox, a guy who ran halfway across the country to fight cancer, to put in a man raking leaves, and they have erased Quebec City to put in what appears to be an image of the Prime Minister in his boyhood swimming at Harrington Lake.
Could the Prime Minister be any more out of touch with Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, while the Conservative Party continues to try to pick fights in the House, this government is focused on delivering for Canadians, for hard-working families and for workers. While they filibuster at committee against the budget implementation act, which would create greater transfers for workers with the Canada workers benefit, we are delivering anti-flipping measures to help homeowners and moving forward with significant measures to help Canadians.
They are playing games. We are focused on affordability for Canadians. They are focused on picking fights.

Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister found out about the closing of the Main, a famous deli, he tweeted, “Ouch”, but his “Ouch” was not for the 35-year-long employee who lost his job; his “Ouch” was that he is not going to be able to eat his favourite sandwich anymore. We found out from a loyal customer that the reason why the Main closed is that food prices have skyrocketed under the Prime Minister. He is determined now to increase his carbon tax threefold, which will send food prices flying higher.
Why does he not park his plane, cancel the hypocrisy and axe the tax?

Mr. Speaker, Montrealers, like Canadians all across the country, care deeply about protecting the environment and also know that the only way to create good jobs, strong communities and a better future is to fight climate change while we build a stronger economy. That is exactly what we have a plan to do. That is why we put a price on pollution and are sending the climate action incentive back to Canadians, where it applies, so that eight out of 10 Canadians are doing better with that.
We are fighting climate change and building a stronger economy, two things that the Conservatives apparently know nothing about.

Mr. Speaker, the only one thing that the Prime Minister wants to know about is himself. That is why he cannot help but use his own name right here on the floor of the House of Commons.
It is why the only concern he had about a business closing is that he is not going to get his favourite sandwich. That means people are losing their jobs. Customers are losing the ability to eat. One in five Canadians is skipping meals now, after eight years of the Prime Minister, and 1.5 million are going to the food bank. The carbon tax hits the farmers who make the food and the truckers who ship it, and therefore it taxes the food itself.
Why will he not bring down food prices, bring home lower prices and axe the tax?

Mr. Speaker, if the member opposite wants to talk about how we use social media respectively, let us remind everyone that he used misogynistic, anti-women hashtags to make sure that he was reaching out to dark corners of the Internet with all of his YouTube videos until we called him out for it.
That kind of misogyny, the casual approach that they take on that side against fighting for women's rights, around reopening the abortion debate, around being absolutely irresponsible with the approach of standing up for rights, continues from them. So, yes, let us judge each other on our social media. I look forward to Canadians looking carefully at what he says.

Mr. Speaker, the Quebec government has taken a firm position against the federal government's plans to bring 500,000 immigrants into the country every year.
There are challenges related to the cost for the health care system, the cost for the education system, the cost for child care services, and the housing crisis. Obviously, language and culture are fundamental concerns.
I would like to hear directly from the Prime Minister what he has to say to the Premier of Quebec about imposing his new immigration targets.

Mr. Speaker, every year, the federal government puts forward a three-year immigration plan. This plan takes account of economic challenges, the labour shortage and forecasts for positive growth nationally.
Of course, Quebec has tremendous control over its own immigration thresholds. When it comes to Canada, however, the federal government decides.
Not only are we putting forward a responsible plan for economic growth, we are doing more than any other federal government to protect the French language and promote francophone immigration.
