I want to thank everyone for their understanding and energy. We've committed to lighting the menorah at the two synagogues targeted by terrorism. It's not easy being away from family and it's hard on our health, but we have to make the point. We said we would fight to axe the tax, while they're working day and night to quadruple it. This contrast will define the next election. Our constituents expect this kind of hard work and determination. I'll be here till 6 AM and then back to Montreal to continue important work. Keep up the great work and let's keep voting. Maybe they'll fall asleep.

The speaker announces the cancellation of the carbon tax in Ottawa Vagney, Gloucester. As a result, the price of gas has dropped from $1.54 to $1.34.9 per tank.

We had limited time in the house for debate, so online harms bill didn't make it to committee. The minister needs time to establish a regulator for hate speech. We want to move C-63 to the senate, but it was tabled in June. Despite being productive, delays were blamed on the conservatives and us.

Breaking from Elizabeth Kucinich, the farm bill is worse than you thought. States’ rights are under siege, federal preemption is at issue, corporate liability shields are a focal point, and there are fiscal risks embedded in the 2026 farm bill. CHD has issued an action alert specifically about the liability shield. The action will be linked in the show notes. If you have not completed it, please complete it ASAP and promote it because Congress is going to be doing the markup of the farm bill starting today, I believe, at 5 PM Eastern Time. Markups usually last three days, and there is a lot to go through. This action focuses specifically on getting rid of the liability shield. But if you read Elizabeth Kucinich’s Substack, you’ll see there’s so much more that is horrible about this bill. There is so much that is happening. I even had some people from the EMR community reach out to me speaking specifically about problems around different smart technologies that were in the farm bill too. It’s a monster. So I’m going to be meeting with my team today, to see if we might be able to get out another action alert about this tomorrow, but at least complete the liability shield side of this. We need to see that go. The other aspects of it, read Elizabeth’s amazing Substack to understand all the issues and call your congressperson and tell them the farm bill is a beast. It’s a monster. We need to get this under control. Hi.

Speaker 0: He's one of the greatest I've ever seen. Speaker 1: Don't mess with Whitey, I'm crazy. Speaker 2: Trudeau announced a 3-year exemption on carbon tax reform. Speaker 3: Will there be penalties or jail for not paying carbon tax? The government expects everyone to work. Speaker 1: We need to find ways to extract and use oil and gas with minimal emissions and carbon capture. Speaker 2: I demand the same carbon tax exemption for Saskatchewan families as others. It's only fair. Hopefully, it will be provided.

The Conservative Party of Canada's climate denialism threatens future white Christmases. We, on this side of the house, support Christmas.

The speaker criticizes the conservative party for not supporting Ukraine in terms of military, financial, and humanitarian aid. They also mention that the party voted against the Canada Ukraine free trade agreement, blaming it on carbon pricing, which is irrelevant since Ukraine has had it since 2011. They ask the minister of international trade to explain the importance of the agreement. The speaker is interrupted and asked to focus on the government's business. The transcript ends with a mention of the next question from a member in South Coast, New York.

Speaker 1 states that a deal with Canada is not being held up, but rather, there are different concepts being considered. Speaker 1 favors tariffs because they are simple, easy, and precise. Mark has a more complex, but also very good, idea. They are going to consider both concepts. Speaker 1 believes a deal is achievable if both parties agree.

The speaker congratulates Prime Minister Carney on leading the minority government and acknowledges opportunities for debate while emphasizing unity as Canadians. They affirm their duty to hold the government accountable and propose better alternatives, but will always put Canada first. Facing tariffs and threats from President Trump, Conservatives will collaborate with the Prime Minister and all parties to defend Canada's interests. The goal is to secure a new trade deal that eliminates tariffs while safeguarding Canadian sovereignty and its people.

Minister Champagne will summon the heads of major grocery stores to Ottawa to discuss the issue of rising food prices. The government expects to receive their plan to stabilize prices by Thanksgiving. If the plan fails to offer substantial relief to the middle class and those striving to join it, further action will be taken, including potential tax measures. The aim is to address the disparity between record profits for grocery stores and the struggles faced by Canadians in affording food.

To pass my amendment, the Senate must remove Democrat leaders blocking it. I propose a vote on whether American taxpayer money should be used to fly illegal immigrants from Venezuela and Haiti into the US. President Biden has secretly flown 320,000 illegal aliens into Blue City airports in 2023. Vote against me to stop this practice. Time has expired.

Speaker 0: Battle River Crowfoot, Tony Lauren. Speaker 1: Farmers want the carbon tax axed. The PM's promise of an independent senate is a farce. He bullied his senators to gut bill c234. The PM lied and his minions continue to act out of order. Speaker 0: Order! Retract and apologize for using that word. Speaker 1: I won't apologize to that broadcaster. Speaker 0: Apologize or leave. Speaker 1: It's the truth. Speaker 0: Leave now. Speaker 1: Fine, I'll leave.

I will meet with Gabriel Attal this afternoon, bringing along a bottle of milk sold by Lactalis. This bottle contains milk produced by farmers, sold for 35 to 40 cents per liter. However, it is sold three and a half times more expensive in supermarkets. The CEO of Lactalis, one of the richest people in France, earns a lot of money from this. This situation symbolizes the current agricultural crisis in our country. There are those who work tirelessly to produce the milk and others who profit greatly from selling it. We need a fair distribution of wealth, margins, and minimum prices for farmers. This is what I will ask the Prime Minister for at noon.

The assembly supports the premier's plan to scrap the carbon tax on every single form of home heating. If the Liberal NDP coalition government refuses, they want all forms of home heating across Canada to be exempted from the carbon tax. If none of the above is implemented, the assembly supports Saskatchewan's plan to not collect and remit the carbon tax on energy bills starting January 1, 2024. The federal government's decision to remove the carbon tax from heating oil in Atlantic Canada is seen as unfair. They are asking the government to extend this exemption to the rest of the country. Both sides of the house agree on this issue.

The Senate is evenly divided with 50 votes for and 50 against. The Vice President casts the deciding vote, resulting in the passage of the amended bill. Additionally, there is a commitment to eliminate taxes on tips for those who earn them.

Feed Ontario, a coalition of food banks, revealed shocking statistics: 800,000 Ontarians visited food banks 6,000,000 times, marking a 36% increase—the largest ever. This number of visitors would make it the fourth largest town in Ontario. The speaker urges the prime minister to reconsider quadrupling the carbon tax on farmers and support a conservative bill to exempt them. The report highlights a consistent rise in food bank usage over the past seven years, with last year reaching record levels. The speaker also mentions a bill in the Senate to prevent the carbon tax increase on farmers. They urge the prime minister to allow the bill to pass and ensure affordable food for all.

The debate centers on changes to Ontario’s Freedom of Information (FOI) rules embedded in the budget bill. The motion passes, with the ayes 57 and nays 33, and is declared carried. Opposition MPs denounce the vote as the FOI changes being rushed and retroactive, arguing they will limit public and media access to government documents and effectively shield records involving Premier Ford and his cabinet from scrutiny. The changes were fast-tracked after a late-night legislative session, bypassing the normal committee review that would ordinarily allow public input before proposals are enacted. Speaker 0 frames the outcome by asserting that rights are not being taken away and that the public will still have substantial access; he promises continued transparency and accountability, including quarterly reports on spending. He says that information access remains broad, with tools available for the public to scrutinize government actions. Speaker 2 notes Premier Ford’s claim that 95% of information would remain accessible while 5% could be redacted to protect personal data, but points to disputes over whether some information would still be accessible and under what circumstances. He highlights concerns that the FOI changes could limit scrutiny despite the stated intent to protect personal information. Opposition voices, including the NDP and Liberal leaders, criticize the move as undermining democracy. One speaker states, “Democracy dies in darkness,” arguing the budget bill is being used to hide government actions from Ontarians. The concern is that the changes would reduce transparency not only for the premier’s government but for all governments and all parties, affecting the public service and how billions of dollars are accounted for each year. Speaker 3 emphasizes the need for the public to know how the government uses the funds it receives annually, underscoring the role of FOI in keeping government accountable. The session notes that today’s vote occurred as the legislature plans a break tomorrow and a recess for the entire next week. Liberal leaders indicate they will use that time to propose additional motions to revisit and reopen debate on FOI provisions, attempting to block or modify the changes. They plan to bring more motions to surface the issue and seek greater public discussion and scrutiny, aiming to stop the FOI changes from taking effect.

Farmers are praised for their hard work and dedication to the country. The speaker promises to support farmers in various ways, including defending them in trade disputes and lowering their taxes. They criticize their opponent, Joe Biden, for wanting to raise taxes and destroy family farms. The speaker also pledges to protect the ethanol industry, create jobs, and reduce the high prices of farm inputs. They claim to have secured billions of dollars for farmers from China and express their commitment to fighting for the American farmer.

The speaker criticizes the finance minister for not understanding how the carbon tax leads to inflation. They explain that the carbon tax is paid at every stage of the food production process, from the farmer to the grocery store, ultimately causing Canadians to struggle to afford food.

Many Canadians want a federal election this year instead of waiting until 2025. In Alberta, there is a desire for an immediate change in the environment minister, Stephen Gebow. The speaker has good relationships with some federal ministers, including Chrystia Freeland, whom they consider a champion for their province.

The senate was equally divided on a bill, with 50 votes in favor and 50 against. The vice president voted in the affirmative, and the bill as amended was passed. A speaker stated that upon taking office, they would eliminate taxes on tips for people making tips, specifically service and hospitality workers.

parliamentarian ruled that sections of it were outside of the process that they're using to get this through. Do you think that senators should respect the decisions of the parliamentarian? And what have you personally done in the last forty eight hours to try and get Republican senators who are against the bill to a yes? 'If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68%. Think of that. 68, a record, the highest in the history.' 'The Democrats won't approve it only because, politically, it's so good for the Republicans.' 'They're not approving border security.' 'We've done a great job at the border, but we have to add some wall.' 'We have no money for that.' 'But if the Democrats it'll be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes. We should.' 'If I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long because it's tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense.'

We're in Westminster, and our entire farming community is here to demand that the Labour government listen and eliminate the family farm tax. UK food production and our family farms are at risk. Food security is at stake. Our message to Starmer is clear: we won't go away until this tax is repealed. We're fighting to protect our farms and ensure the UK's food security.

Speaker 0 requests unanimous consent. Speaker 1 acknowledges the official opposition leader. Confusion arises regarding the request.

The speaker expresses agreement with someone frustrated about the country becoming "debt slaves." This individual believes Congress needs to regain the ability to say "no." Despite this agreement, the speaker is not yet prepared to abandon the current bill.
