To that yes when we talk about uh the the supports that are necessary to put into place that also provincial jurisdictions also have a role to play in it given they have the interest also in in the immigrants that are coming to Canada The Honorable member for San the provinces certainly have a role to play on.
Immigration and especially Quebec given the language issue but despite the role that Quebec already has it's not working the IM ation Minister of Quebec has had to threaten a referendum to repatriate all of the immigration powers and this is a party that's not one that really likes to talk about referendums they campaigned on not.
Talking about referendums on the independence of Quebec but now they have to talk about a referendum because it's not working even though there are powers for Quebec Ottawa clearly is turning a ear and this is the result so in the abstract you can talk about the powers of the provinces in Quebec but if the government decides.
It's going to do what it wants to do it can do so with the results we've seen everybody is saying that the targets are too high the that immigration is not being managed responsibly by the government and that the people who suffer the most are newcomers questions comments The Honorable member for L.
Thank you very much Mr Speaker I thank my colleague for Her speech always interesting Mr Speaker I think the 338 members of this house can say unanimously that our writing offices are full of immigration cases people who are waiting there are 1 million cases backlogged that's the reality after 8 years of this liberal government can the.
Member tell us about her rioting is that the case how does she manage it The Honorable member for San I can confirm that he is not the only one to have many people calling about immigration all of our offices are called upon and sometimes there are people who have come to us from the government members.
Offices they can't get services from them the block do does things well they call us and they ask us to resolve their issues because once again we are seeing incompetence from the government on managing immigration the 1 million case backlog but on a daily basis we feel it we get phone call after phone call things are not.
Working the government is not present do this but I'm going to have to uh to move on to the next speaker in for five minutes uh The Honorable member for Von Woodbridge see M thank you Mr Speaker I am pleased to rise today to speak to the immigration system in Canada regarding Asylum Seekers as we are.
Aware we continue to face an unprecedented migratory crisis in the world Canada is not the only country to have many people coming fleeing persecution in their country to seek Refuge at our border Canada has National legislation and international.
Conventions that require it to support people who present an asylum claim the government respects its legal obligations I am splitting my time with the member from King's hat from correcting the name of the writing so people who represent an asylum claim the government respects its humanitarian and legal obligations and.
We can continue to provide support at a level that reflects the number of Asylum claims in our country our government continues to work with Partners at the provincial Territorial and Municipal level to determine how we can better support them support them as effectively as.
Possible in this regard we've provided additional resources provinces and municipalities are responsible for housing and for supporting Asylum Seekers we recognize the need for the federal government to play a role at all levels to continue its work to find Solutions we've been present throughout.
The process and we will continue to be present since it was created in 2017 the interim housing assistance program provides funds to provinces and municipalities based on a cost sharing basis to mitigate pressure on housing and to increase capacity to better respond to the increased number of.
Asylum Seekers the program reimburses Direct housing costs like shelters hotel rooms and other temporary Arrangements transportation and the costs the amount by jurisdiction is based on claims for reimbursement Mr Speaker the federal government has provided to the provinces.
And municipalities a great deal of money to help them attenuate the excess pressure on housing related to Asylum Seekers since 2017 our government has provided funding to the province of Quebec to support the increased demand for housing from Asylum.
Seekers the government of Canada is determined to continue collaborating harmoniously with provinces and municipalities to put in place Housing Solutions that are permanent that that is why recently the government announced additional funding of $212 million through the interim housing assistance.
Program and this would reflect the number of Asylum Seekers last week Mr Speaker my colleague the minister of immigration refugees and citizenship announced additional funding 36 $2.4 million for this program in total $500 million have been given to Quebec through the interim housing.
Assistance program this fiscal year this new funding will allow the provinces and municipalities facing an increased demand for places in housing locations to better respond to this request so that Asylum Seekers do not find themselves without a place to live in the framework of the program the.

This government's catch and Rel police bail policies passed in Bill 75 and C5 which removes mandatory minimum sentences for certain Major Crimes a common sense government can ensure that repeat offenders remain Behind Bars while waiting trial and will bring back mandatory jail time for serious violent crimes that were repealed from this.
Government conservatives will always stand for victims of crime conservatives will bring home safety The Honorable member from Mrs Saga Aaron Mills Mr Speaker your car is not not just a way of getting around for many in my writing it's a part of their livelihoods and a main source of income in 20 th in 2022 nearly 6,000 Vehicles.

The Honorable member of herot Mr Speaker the Aerospace world is on the hill under the opes of AIC the AAC I'd like to expend my warmest greetings to these Dynamic players who make us one of the few major hubs on the planet the presence of this strategic sector on the hill naturally demands.
That we affirm our unwavering support but it also demands commitments that go beyond words Aerospace deserves to be a top priority at least as much as the Auto industry a strategic industry requires a strategy but there's no Aerospace strategy we urgently need one a strategy devised in concert with the players in the sector governments.
Companies unions a strategy based on public purchasing policies with local spin-offs R&D support Workforce training support for projects and smmes in accessing the International Supply Chain you can count on us to be staunch Defenders of your amazing work thank you The Honorable member from Calgary.
Midnapore Canadians across the country are dealing with the result of eight years of this prime minister's Catch and Release Bail policies repeat criminals are out on the streets while law abiding Canadians are afraid to walk them the numbers don't lie under our former conservative government the number of sexual assaults in Canada decreased from.
2010 to 2015 and overall violent crime was down by almost 25% however since 2015 as a direct result of this liberal government's softon crime policies the number of sexual assaults has increased by almost 72% in my city of Calgary the total number of violent criminal code violations are up by almost 40% since.
2015 and women and girls are terrified to ride the sea train these numbers affect us all but statistics confirm that women are far more likely to be victims of sexual assault and violence than men women need to feel safe and that is why a conservative government will eliminate bail for repeat violent offenders The Honorable member from.
Scarboro ancient Court Mr Speaker on February 10th communities across Canada will ring in the Lunar New Year also known as the spring Festival this year we welcome the Year of the Dragon which is associated with energy good fortune and success Lunar New Year is traditionally celebrated for two weeks ending with the Lantern Festival on.
February 24th this joyous time of the year includes Gathering and feasting with family and friends wearing new clothes getting a haircut giving red envelopes to children and singles for good luck hanging lanterns and my personal favorite making dumplings and more importantly EA them wishing the vames community.
CH and lots of luck in 2024 to the Korean Community sah man thank you oral questions after eight years the prime minister is not worth the cost or the crime the previous conservative government reduced car thefts with common sense policies like tougher.
Penalties for repeat offenders the Prime Minister changed that and gave car thieves easy bail and house arrests under conservatives car thefts down by 50% under liberals car theft's up by 34% and now he's being told at his fancy Summit that his policies are the problem celest power of the Insurance Bureau said car thefts are up because quote.
Profits are high and penalties are light so when will the prime minister of bad in their soft on crime approach so car thefts can come down honorable parliamentary secretary to Public Safety Mr Speaker on the contrary would the conservatives actually like to know that since 2006 the five years with the highest amount.
Of car thefts in Canadian history were it's under the Steven Harper government we are actually reducing crime today we had the auto Summit where we brought in leaders across the country including police Mr Speaker we are working on tangible Solutions not just slogans from the conservative The Honorable member from.
Regina Capel those were the first five years we inherited from a previous soft on crime liberal government Mr Speaker but it's not just crime that this government's policy is making worse on April 1st the prime minister is going to drive up grocery prices again with another hike to his carbon tax and the impact on this affects Ians every step.
Of the way from Farm to Fork Keith warer professor at the University of GF said 44% of Growers are operating at a loss presently and three quarters have difficulty offsetting production cost increases instead of driving grocery prices up even higher why does he cancel his plan to hike the carbon tax The Honorable Minister for.
Innovation Mr Speaker we will take no lessons from the conservative who have no plan Mr Speaker I guess their plan is to ask J Mr Speaker but on this side of the house Mr Speaker we have a plan to make grocery to stabilize price in this country Mr Speaker it's called competition Mr Speaker Canadians at home understand that they are the only one.
Who are blocking the further reform we want to put Mr Speaker because Canadian understand that we want stabilized price we want more choice we want more competition on this side we'll fight for Canadian at every step of the way the honorable member from Regina Capel you would think that they would have thrown those talking points out.
After this week when we learn Mr Speaker all the relationships between liberal staff and La Blas like Brian top and Don guy both who collect checks from L and last year they met twice with the PM's director of policy or like tyia backett the in-house lobbyist at labl she used to have an office in the pmo you could run a Superstore with all the staff over.
There that have relationships with L Blas when will the Prime Minister realize it's not conservative volunteers driving up grocery prices it's the carbon tax stupid uh although that is uh a iCal expression known to to many uh I do warn all MPS uh to please to try to watch uh.
And to stay safely on the right side of parliamentary debate uh The Honorable U minister of of innovation speaker I will abide by your words Mr Speaker and one thing that we're doing when he talks about Superstar is right I'm and it's I'm happy to talk about that because that's actually what we're trying to bring Mr Speaker we're trying to bring.
More competition I've been in touch with forign Grocers to bring more competition to bring more options for Canadians and people are watching at only the understanding on this side of the house Mr Speaker we have a plan we are working for Canadians on this side they have no plan and the only plan we've seen is to ask Jenny Mr Speaker we'll continue to.
Work for Canadian at every step of the way the honorable member for L thank you Mr Speaker after eight years of this liberal government the housing crisis is hitting Canadians hard for example in Quebec the average rent has gone up by 19% over one year and it will take twice.
As long to pay off a mortgage and up to 25 years to save up a down payment that's what Canadians are facing after eight years of this liberal government yet this government is very good at photo ops when will they instead work that hard on building housing The Honorable minister of immigra innovation I'd like to thank my.
Colleague for his question if there's something that conservatives are good at it's insulting Mayors the last time we heard from the conservative leader he was insulting the mayor of Quebec City the mayor of Montreal who is working with us to build more housing what we're doing on this side of.
The house is creating programs to build affordable housing collaborating with provinces and municipalities Mr Speaker Canadians know that we must work together and that's exactly what we're doing The Honorable member for Luis Salam Mr Speaker for eight years this government has been insulting all Canadians with their terrible housing.
Record even the president of the cmhc has admitted that the government has no plan to fix the situation there's been a 28% decrease in housing starts over the last year that's the liberal reality so my question when will you stop holding press releases with photo ops and when will you start building.
Homes that's what Canadians want the honorable minister of innovation Mr Speaker I have a great deal of respect for my colleague for Lis that said I don't think we have much to learn about videos and photo ops from the conservatives recently we saw the conservative leader doing a photo op and a video at the Port of Montreal thinking.
That a video would fix auto theft we have met with leaders in order to fix this problem and others we talked about monitoring we talked about Innovation we talked about technology what the conservatives don't understand is that in order to move this country forward we must work together The Honorable member for.
S Mr Speaker Quebec has been a Pioneer within Canada in showing compassion to people who who are suffering it was the first jurisdiction to to offer medical assistance in dying and then today again it is ahead Quebec is ready to authorize Advanced requests for PE for people with a serious and incurable neurocognitive disease the Quebec legislation has been.
In place for eight months people who are suffering have waited long enough will the government modify the criminal code so that Quebec can move forward with these Advanced requests The Honorable minister of public services and procurement thank you Mr Speaker I was lucky enough to be.
Minister of Health previously and as my colleague did I would like to recognize the important contribution of the Quebec government and quebecers over the last several years in order to move forward thinking and action on this incredibly sensitive and important issue we must all work together and we will determine the way.
Forward with the government of Quebec over the months to come The Honorable member well Canada can continue to reflect but Quebec is ready the National Assembly of Quebec unanimously asked the federal government to modify the criminal code so that Quebec can go ahead with its Advanced request.
Legislation Ottawa has a moral duty to Grant Quebec's unanimous request Canadians can reflect longer if that's what they wish to do but that shouldn't cause years of useless suffering for quebecers will the government finally legislate to enable Quebec to authorize Advanced requests The Honorable minister of.
Public services and procurement thank you Mr Speaker and once again I'd like to thank my colleague for discussing this sensitive issue we know that people's choice and control over their lives their choice to have medical assistance in dying is already part of the choices people have we also.
Need to protect those who are most vulnerable we will work closely with Healthcare Providers we will elaborate codes of conduct and we will look closely at matters both having to do with the criminal code and with Healthcare delivery The Honorable member for Ros Mr.
Speaker people are struggling at the grocery store for months food banks have been overwhelmed Montreal liberal MPS know this it's happening to them too but we in the NDP are offering Solutions like our bill to lower the costs of a grocery basket but the Liberals voted against lowering prices for.
Quebeckers these liberals really want to support their buddies like gayen Weston is this all they're really going to do the honorable minister of Innovation Mr Speaker I'd like to thank my colleague for his question but I don't really understand where he's going with it he ought to be very proud because in the competition reform.
That we presented in three parts Mr Speaker we accepted many of the recommendations of the leader of the NDP so they should be happy that by working together hand in hand we are increasing competition in this country all the experts will tell you more choices and competition will stabilize prices my call should get up.
In this house and thank us for working together for consumers honorable member from London fansa the fact of the matter is that the Liberals voted no on the NDP Bill to lower food prices for Canadians they voted against giving the competition Bureau more powers to crack down on greedy grocery chains and take that take advantage of families Sky High.
Food prices are forcing Canadians with full-time jobs to resort to food banks to feed their families under these out of touch liberals Ultra Rich CEOs win win and Canadians lose why are the Liberals determined to keep grocery prices high for Canadians The Honorable Minister for Innovation Mr Speaker again I'm happy to.
Hear the question from my colleagues she she should be happy because we actually listen to what the NDP had to propose and a lot of what has been proposed by the leader of the NDP has already been included in our bill to reform competition in this country Mr Speaker one thing that we should do is to work together Mr Speaker her bill bill that's.
Been presented yesterday we'll go to committee we'll listen to experts we'll listen to recommendation but one thing can indans should know is that we have their back we're going to fight for them to bring stabilization and grocery price in this country The Honorable member from Lethbridge after 8 years of this.
Government's Reckless policies our country is in a place of crime and Chaos since 2015 sexual assault cases have increased by 72% 72% that's a big number here folks the liberal government soft on crime approach is a direct attack on women and girls in this country it's disgusting and so how many more sexual assaults.
Need to take place for this government to finally do something good question good question The Honorable parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Justice attorney general I want to thank the member opposite for a question this is a serious issue that requires a serious response and is not something that should be highlighted in negative.
Way in the House of Commons this government has taken steps through Bill S12 Bill C3 Bill C 51 we've taken serious measures to address sexual assault crimes including uh SE sexual assault offenders be including on the on the offense registry thank you Mr Speaker The Honorable member from Lethbridge The Honorable member is right.
This isn't something to be made light of but that is exactly what this liberal government's policies have done unfortunately after 8 years of this government the number of sexual assault cases in this country has skyrocketed by 72% 72 that's a very large number that as many women and girls who are affected and what makes this even worse is that.
So many of these crimes are committed by individuals who are out on bail who shouldn't be and the reason they are is because of this government's soft on crime policies the Liberals are putting women in danger it is this government's decision to do that so when will this prime minister take it seriously and do something your honorable parliamentary.
Secretary to the minister for Public Safety Mr speaker the issues around sexual violence and violence in general towards women is something we take incredibly seriously including the fact that we supported legislation nonpartisan legislation to have proper training for judges something unfortunately conservative Senators.
Blocked but we persevered to ensure that women go through the criminal justice process respecting the violence that has happened and the Under reporting that happens in in this country we are going to continue to do everything possible to make sure women are safe in this country The Honorable member from Peter bur kortha after eight years of this.
Liberal NDP government chaos and crime is at epidemic levels just weeks ago a mom of three was murdered in Calgary in front of an elementary school in a targeted domestic killing her offender had previous charges multiple active warrants and a no contact order she did everything that was asked of her and she was still murdered in broad daylight why.
Because this liberal government's soft on crime policies enough we don't need Summits we need action and we need a timeline so when will they reverse these deadly policies The Honorable parliamentary secretary to minister of Public Safety Mr Speaker it is not a partisan issue in dealing with violence against women in.
This country crimes like that are absolutely horrific it's something that we are working hard on with not just the minister of Public Safety but across governments to ensure that women across this country are not only safe but are safe to report violence as we know often times violence starts early uh with domestic violence.
And can escalate one of the reasons we're also banning guns yeah The Honorable member from Peterboro kortha Mr Speaker this became a partisan issue the minute this fake feminist prime minister let women die that is the reality 94 municipalities in Ontario alone have.
Declared domestic violence an epidemic violent crime is up almost 40% sexual assaults 72% sex crimes against children up 12 6% you can bet this is partisan it is their policies destroying the lives of Canadians and conservatives will stop the crime and make sure women are not murdered in front of elementary school and the guy who did it is behind.
Bars The Honorable parliamentary secretary to the minister for Public Safety Mr Speaker I'm glad to see the conservatives fired up about taking the violence against women seriously that is precisely why we have put in firearm legislation to deal with situations of intimate partnering gender-based violence Mr Speaker we are putting a.
National freeze on the sale of and purchase and transfers of hand guns Mr Speaker when it comes to violence against women we are going to put in place every measure measure possible to keep women safe Mr Speaker we are committed to this and I'm glad to see the conservatives pass passionate about protecting.
women colleagues order colleagues I know this is a very important and sensitive issue which is deserving which is deserving of all of our attention to listen to the question and all of our attention to listen to the answer The Honorable member for Bel.
Thank you Mr Speaker after 8 years of this government violence in this country has increased horrifyingly violent crime is up by 40% sexual assault by 71% there are more and more femicides as well as domestic violence women always have to be hypervigilant and despite that the prime minister is still letting criminals.
Relax in their homes a conservative government would bring back Common Sense Law and Order policies and protect women meanwhile what will the Prime Minister do to protect Canadian women let I have the honorable minister of Canadian Heritage Mr Speaker I'm very glad the conservatives are paying attention to.
The question of violence against women our government has taken important measures to strengthen legislation to prevent Firearms use violence in this country to prevent violence against women in the home and in restricting Firearms violence well the conservatives are actually against those.
Policies they should make more of an effort to bring forth policy to protect women throughout the country The Honorable member for Bel Mr Speaker women tell us about the fear pain torment they experienced at the hands of a violent partner or a trafficker conservative bills for example Senator B news Bill.
Were tabled to protect women but what has this government been doing for 8 years it takes the site of criminals instead of victims the good news is that our conservative government will put an end to that why is this government continuing to keep violent criminals comfortably in their homes instead of them putting them behind bars where they.
Can't hurt anyone the honorable minister of global Affairs Mr Speaker for eight years this feminist government has been working on protecting women especially vulnerable women and that's why throughout our time power we've made that a priority before during and after covid for three elections the liberal.
Government has won on restricting Firearms violence and three times in all of these elections the conservatives have voted against I'm happy to see that my female colleagues on the other side of the house care about this we will continue to show leadership on this.
File colleagues colleagues this is a very serious issue which is being raised by uh by members it's deserving of course of your respect to listen to the questions and also to listen to the answers The Honorable member for Drummond Mr Speaker another dark day for our media and for democracy Bell has.
Just announced that it will be cutting 4,800 positions and that it's selling 45 radio stations including seven in Quebec the federal government is watching our information media die before its eyes and is not spending any money on saving our broadcasters there has been no emergency fund as the blacka asked for in the fall no tax credit for electronic.
Media like what there is for print media how many more workers will be sacrificed before the minister realizes that c18 alone will not save our Quebec media The Honorable minister of Canadian Heritage thank you Mr Speaker this is a dark day for 4,800 people in Canada who learned this morning in the news that they were facing layoffs it's very.
Upsetting for them and their families I offer them my full support and solidarity my colleague knows very well that 40 million dollars has been offered to B media every year Bell Canada has been raking in billions of dollars in profits this year they should continue to keep their commitments to provide news to the entire population we will.
Not be giving more public money to a billionaire company like that The Honorable member I'm not talking about giving money to a billionaire company I'm talking about helping an industry that is suffering and has been in crisis for years as we speak the only new money to help our media with C8 is from Google.
It's like a fox pretending that it's tending to the hens and yet we have offered many proposals an emergency fund a payroll tax credit for electronic media tax credits for advertisers and traditional Media or increasing the share of government advertising in traditional media instead of giving $50,000 to meta as the liberal party has.
Done over the last three months when will this government finally take action The Honorable minister of heritage Mr Speaker I share my colleagues indignation about the decisions that companies like Bell Media have taken in order to protect the dividends of shareholders who are still raking in.

Housing that means increasing Supply we are eliminating the GST on purpose-built rentals we have struck deals with over 30 municipalities from coast to coast to ensure that we are getting more supplies in the system and we will make sure that we are there for vulnerable Canadians and the middle class all the while the conservatives on the other side of the.

A thread in Canada we saw it again in committee a liberal parliamentary secretary the conservatives and the NDP all voted against bilingualism for miscarriage of Justice review Commissioners the liberal complain claimed he was defending unilingual frankophones frankophones always lose when bingum.

Conservatives were right and will he commit to a repealing liberal soft on crime policies like house arrest for car thieves The Honorable parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Justice and attorney general of Canada thank you Mr Speaker as we all know auto theft is a very serious problem in Ontario Quebec and across the country it requires.
Consultation with expert to find a proper solution not slogans and simple criticism of problems that don't really address the problem so today we had the auto Summit we brought in people from all the provinces the police associations different levels of governments and they were going to come up constructive solutions that are going.

Proven approach of jail not bail for repeat offenders ending house arrest for auto theft and bringing in mandatory penalties for repeat offenders Mr Speaker the numbers are in the facts don't lie why won't this Minister stand up and admit that the liberal soft on crime agenda is a failure and it needs to change the honorable parliamentary.
