Mr. Speaker, in 2015, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi appeared in an ISIS torture video dismembering a human body on a crucifix. In 2018, the NDP-Liberal government let him in, later giving him citizenship, only to find, from French authorities, that he was plotting a massive terrorist attack on people living in the Toronto area. Also, in the last several weeks, we learned that another potential terrorist gained access under a student visa to plan an attack on New York City Jews.
Why will the Prime Minister not reverse the damage he has done to our borders, secure our country and stop the terrorism?

Mr. Speaker, if the Leader of the Opposition was genuinely serious in his concern for national security, he would choose to get the top secret clearance that we have offered him instead of putting forward this little performance. We, on this side of the House, do not play politics with national security.

Mr. Speaker, carbon tax Carney is already getting his way. Only days after he took on the unofficial and unelected role as finance minister, we learned that the company he chairs is now seeking 10 billion federal Canadian tax dollars, money to control Canadians' pensions. He has gone from carbon tax Carney to conflict of interest Carney and, now, coincidence Carney.
Will the Prime Minister cut loose carbon tax Carney and call a carbon tax election so Canadians can choose their future?

Mr. Speaker, that is a hard pivot away from security clearance. The reality is the member is jealous that top-notch economists and world-renowned experts back our plan to fight climate change and grow the economy, but he is stuck with late-night, far-right conspiracy videos on YouTube.

Mr. Speaker, if carbon tax Carney has nothing to hide, then he would simply sign up and have an ethics clearance and an ethics committee review. We have tried to bring him to the ethics committee.
However, the Bloc Québécois worked with the Liberals to prevent that from happening.
We tried to get him to follow the conflict of interest law, but the Prime Minister refuses to swear him in as a public servant.
If there is no conflict of interest, why will carbon tax Carney not do a full job as a public servant that can be scrutinized by our ethics committee, rather than fleecing Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, do not forget that the Leader of the Opposition is really cheesed that we did not hire him for the government payroll. That Mark Carney has chosen to step up to fight with the Liberal Party against the reckless and dangerous economic plans of the Conservative Party should be an example to all Canadians.
People across the country are beginning to see how ridiculous and dangerous the ideas that the Leader of the Opposition is putting forward are, and are stepping up to roll up their sleeves and fight back against that brokenist, austere vision of not helping Canadians, of hurting Canadians, of going back to a time when Canadians did not have a bright future.

Mr. Speaker, rental markets and home prices in communities across the country are making it difficult for Canadians to find an affordable place to live. The current systems in place to guide or protect Canadians while they make these important purchases are not enough.
Can the Prime Minister tell us what protection Canadians will find in the new blueprints for a renters' bill of rights and a homebuyers' bill of rights?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Brampton South for her advocacy on this important issue.
This week, we released the blueprints for a renters' bill of rights and a homebuyers' bill of rights. They lay out a plan to help protect renters from unfair practices like renovictions and excessive rent increases, something the Conservative leader could not care less about.
The Conservative leader is a failed Harper housing minister with a laughable record. Lazy politicians come up with lazy policies and failed results. That is exactly what the Leader of the Opposition is offering Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, people living in Gaza and the West Bank continue to suffer unbearable atrocities. Canadians have been pleading with the government to do more to promote peace for both Israelis and Palestinians. Today, the Liberals had a chance. Today, they had a chance, and yet, they failed to support a UN vote that demanded that Israel end its unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories. Once again, they are choosing whose human rights matter.
Why are the Liberals refusing to uphold international law and protect the lives of Palestinians?

Mr. Speaker, there has been too much suffering from Hamas's horrific attacks on October 7 to the heartbreaking catastrophe in Gaza. It has to end. We call for an immediate ceasefire, for the release of all hostages, for an urgent increase in humanitarian assistance in Gaza and for Palestinian civilians to be protected. We need to return to a path to peace based on a two-state solution where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace and security.

Mr. Speaker, it has been over a decade since my community was promised two-way, all-day GO train service from Kitchener to Toronto, yet we still do not even have a timeline for completion. Folks in my community are stuck on overcrowded buses that are getting worse and worse each year. The federal government has already committed 40% of the project costs. That is over three-quarters of a billion dollars.
Will the Prime Minister join me and local community leaders in calling for accountability from Premier Ford and pushing for a timeline for project completion?

Mr. Speaker, indeed, this government has put record amounts of infrastructure investment on the table to support Canadians in building transit, in building the infrastructure they need to get to and from work, and to be able to afford better homes closer to work. These are the things we are continuing to invest in.
We call on all premiers to step up in their investments, to work with us on investing, to not listen to their Conservative colleague in Ottawa who wants to cut and underinvest in infrastructure, and instead, to work with us to invest in a stronger future for all Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order with some trepidation based on comments made in question period.
I have been diving through the Standing Orders to see what order I find has been offended. You might find it in Standing Order 11(2) under “order and decorum”. Of course, Standing Order 16 protects members of Parliament, the royal family and other parts of the Government of Canada from disrespectful comments and, well, the commentary is there.
However, I find it worrying that we may be setting a pattern of being able to abuse with offensive nicknames people who are respected Canadians, Canadian citizens who have not been elected. I therefore suggest to you, Mr. Speaker, and you can rule on whether it is appropriate, that to say a slur like “carbon tax Carney” might offend Standing Order 11(2).
Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
Ms. Elizabeth May: I am sorry. I cannot be heard.
