Speaker 1

Thank you for listening to Depictions Media Radio.

Speaker 2

Welcome to Policy and Rights, the show up Fashion, welcomer, Policy, human joys. All right, welcome back to Policy and Rates. Here in Depiction Media Radio, I'm your host, Michael clarks Well, King Charles the Third. He read the Throne Speech for the Opening of Parliament for Canada as part of that Well, a lot of what was actually written in that speech was written by of course Mark Karney and the and the Liberal Liberal government, and it stresses the importance of

a strong Canada. It's it stresses the importance of a strong economy and an economy that works for everyone. Let's wait and see how mister Carney decides working for everyone really means. If it means that let's supply the corporations and billionaires full of money and not so much for the middle class. But he did offer this.

Speaker 1

The cutting of GST on homes and and also eight hundred dollars a year savings doesn't really sound like a whole lot, but depending on who you are and what you're trying to do with your life at the moment, it could be a good thing. He also stressed the importance of being able to fast track projects so that they get built faster. Well, here's the issue is what

about the environmental studies. We have a huge damn project that we're going to put up and we don't care so much about the environment that it's going to change ecosystems and it's going to potentially damage honey grounds and list of the normal environmental things. But in the long run that we're seeing a lot of projects, especially here in British Columby, that are ripping down large numbers of trees, just grinding them up into dust, and that could be

a potential mistake. See, the thing is is climate change isn't about what is happening now. They want you to focus on that, but the climate change is really what we hear depictions to mete your coin it as climate evolution. Well, as the planet evolves. We want to ensure the survival of the human race, that the human race is going to continue to live and have a society on this

planet for a long period of time. Right now, we've only been in comparison to the life of the planet, in comparison to the life of the sun, we've only been here for a few seconds. So what this means is we need to ensure sure certain things. Trees are one of those things that need to need to remain standing because they are the carbon sinks for our atmosphere. They suck the carbon back out of the atmosphere and

put it into the ground. Wait a second, Now, there are others out there that have said some other goofy stuff that, well, you know, the carbon is plant food we need to keep. We don't need to reduce the amount of carbon. That isn't necessarily true either. There needs to be a fine balance not tearing down the trees, pushing forward with forested areas and protecting those forested areas from lumber mills and things, and ensuring that the forest

fires are actually gonna happen. Wait, forest fires are actually going to happen. Here's a funny thing about pine trees, and Canada has a lot of pine trees. The pine cones that drop on the ground cannot be activated unless something heats them up to between four and five hundred degrees fahrenheit. Don't ask you this Celsius connection right this second.

I'm not going to do that much math. But that introduces the idea of the fire naturally occurring forest fire holds the perfect temperature to break open the pine cones and produce the right amount of ash. That ash is actually plant fertilizer and also part of how the trees actually put the carpment back into the ground. So we need to ensure that projects do not tear down any trees,

especially the tall trees, that the trees are protected. As we build homes, we also need to rethink our idea of home building because we're seeing more and more towers and we need to build less towers. I know we have to house more people, but we need to ensure some sort of population control, which these are immigration and

foreign policies on education. Hey, they're trying to maintain that at about five percent of the current population of Canada, which will actually increase as more immigrants are let in. It will eventually increase, but it will increase at a control rate rather than at shooting off towards an exponential So there's a lot of really cool things happening with this speech, and there are a lot of things that

aren't so cool. We're going to hear eventually from the Conservatives in this particular episode as they react to it. And I believe I also can pull up a NDP reaction to this speech also, and we'll hear all of these reactions from different other political parties as they chime in on what a lot of what was said in this Throne speech. There are other things that, yes, we do need to fix reconciliation with the Indigenous people. Part of that means that the Indigenous people get to strike

down a project because it's hurting the environment. They are our residential experts on that, and it should be allowed to speak as those experts on what our environment should look like for Canada according to the traditions that they follow. This means that they don't. We got to stop the corporations from trying to bribe the indigenous nations from China

say hey, we'll give you a bunch of money. We need to need to curb the money part so that the corporations lose some control and so that we can eliminate some of the greed from Canada making, which would make Canada a much greater place to live. So let's move forward. We're going to hear the Throne speech as King Charles reads it, and then we will hear other party debates.

Speaker 3

May it please your Majesty the House of Commons has elected me their speaker, so I am but little able

to fulfill the important duties thus assigned to me. If in the performance of those duties I should at any time fall into error, I pray that the fault may be imputed to me and not to the House of Commons, whose servant I am, and who threw me the better to enable them to discharge their duty to their king and country, humbly claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, especially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates,

access to Your Majesty's person at all seasonable times, and that their proceedings may receive from Your Majesty the most favorable construction.

Speaker 4

May it please Your Majesty, The House of Commons has elected meither speaker, though I am but little able to

fulfill the important duties thus assigned to me. If in the performance of those duties I should at any time fall into error, I pray that the fault may be imputed to me and not to the Commons, whose servant I am, and who through me, the better to enable them to discharge their duty to their king and country, humbly claim all their undoubted rights and privileges, especially that they may have freedom of speech in their debates, access to Your Majesty's person at all seasonable times, and that

their proceedings may receive from Your Majesty the most favorable construction.

Speaker 5

Mister speaker, I am commanded by His Majesty the King to declare to you that he freely confides in the duty and attachment of a House of Commons to His Majesty's person and government, and not doubting that their proceedings will be conducted with wisdom, temper and prudence he grants and upon all occasions, will recognize and allow their constitutional privileges.

I am commanded also to assure you that the Commons shall have ready access to His Majesty upon all salable seasonable occasions, and that their proceedings, as well as your words and actions, will constantly receive from him the most favorable construction.

Speaker 4

Monsieur p Mister speaker, I am commanded by His Majesty the King, to declare to you that he freely confides in the duty and attachment of the House of Commons to His Majesty's person and government, and not doubting that their proceedings will be conducted with wisdom, temper, and prudence he grants, and upon all occasions, will recognize and allow

their constitutional privileges. I am commanded also to assure assure you rather that the Commons shall have ready access to His Majesty upon all seasonable occasions, and that their proceedings, as well as your words and actions, will constantly receive from Him the most favorable construction.

Speaker 6

Honorable Senators, Members of the House of Commons, it is with a deep sense of pride and pleasure that my wife and I join you here today as we witness Canadians coming together in a renewed sense of national pride, unity, and hope. I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and the Shinabek people.

Speaker 7

This land.

Speaker 6

Acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation. While continuing to deepen my own understanding, it is my great hope that in each of your communities and collectively as a country, a path is found toward truth and reconciliation in both word and deep. This is my twentieth visit to Canada, spread over the course of more than

half a century and my first sovereign. As I've said before, every time I come to Canada, a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream and from there straight to my heart. I've always had the greatest admiration for Canada's unique identity, which is recognized across the world, for bravery and sacrifice in defense of national values, and for the diversity.

Speaker 7

And kindness of Canadians.

Speaker 6

To the First Nations, Inuit and Minty peoples, you have welcomed my family and myself to your traditional lands with great war and hospitality, for which I am humbly grateful. This year we mark the eightieth anniversary of V Day and v J Day on Juno Beach at Dieppe, on the Somme at Beaumont, Mmel at Epe, and on Vimy Ridge. At those places and many others, forever etched into our memories, Canadians fought and died alongside our closest allies.

Speaker 7

JOUI.

Speaker 8

Today I see representatives from every part of Canada, from Saint John's Newfoundland and Labrador, to Victoria, British Columbia and Arviat in Nunavut. I see the guardians of the fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Canadian Charter. Ann Is King, I thank you for your service to your fellow Canadians across the length and breadth of this vast and great nation.

Speaker 7

You speak for.

Speaker 6

Your communities, representing an incredible richness of cultures, languages and perspectives. We owe it to this generation and those who succeed us, to think and act for the greater good of all. While the world faces unprecedented challenges generating uncertainties across the continents with regards to peace and stability, economics and climate change, your communities have the skills and determination to bring a wealth of solutions.

Speaker 7

Or encourageon la calaberacion.

Speaker 8

By fostering collaboration and engaging in respectful, constructive debates, you will ensure this government is capable of bold and fair action to support Canadians.

Speaker 6

It has been nearly seventy years since the sovereign first open Parliament. In the time since, Canada has dramatically changed, repatriating its constitution, achieving full independence, and witnessing immense growth. Canada has embraced this British, French and Indigenous roots and become a bold, ambitious, innovative country that is bilingual, truly multicultural, and committed to reconciliation. The crown has for so long

been a symbol of unity for Canada. It also represents stability and continuity from the past to the present, as it should. It stands proudly as a symbol of Canada today in all her richness and dynamism. When my dear late mother Queen Elizabeth opened a new Canadian Parliament in nineteen fifty seven, the Second World War remained a fresh painful memory. The Cold War was intensifying, Freedom and democracy were under threat. Canada was emerging as a growing economic

power and a force for peace in the world. In the decades since, history has been punctuated by epoch making events, the Vietnam War, the fall of a Berlin War, and the start of the War on Terror. Today Canada faces another critical moment. Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self determination, and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear and ones which the government is determined to protect. The system of open global trade that, while not perfect, has helped to

deliver prosperity for Canadians for decades is changing. Canada's relationships with partners are also changing.

Speaker 7

We must be clear eyed.

Speaker 8

The world is more dangerous and uncertain place than at any point since the Second World War. Canada is facing challenges that are unprecedented in our lifetimes.

Speaker 6

Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them. Fundamental change is always unsettling. Yet this moment is also an incredible opportunity, an opportunity for renewal, an opportunity to think big and to act bigger, an opportunity for Canada to embark on the largest transformation of

its economy since the Second World War. A confident Canada, which has welcomed a new Canadians, including from some of the most tragic global conflict zones, can seize this opportunity by recognizing that all Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away, and that by staying true to Canadian values, Canada can build new alliances and a new economy that serves all Canadians.

The Prime Minister and the President of the United States, for example, have begun defining a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the United States, routed in mutual respect and founded on common interests to deliver transformational benefits for both sovereign nations.

Speaker 7

Simultanemore.

Speaker 8

In parallel, the government is working to strengthen its relationships with reliable trading partners and allies around the world. Recognizing that Canada has what the world needs and the values the world respects. Canada is ready to build a coalition of like minded countries that share its values, that believe in international cooperation and the free and open exchange of goods, services, and ideas. In this new, fast evolving world, Canada is

ready to lead. This will be demonstrated in June when Canada convenes the g seventh Summit.

Speaker 6

The government is guided by its conviction that the economy is only truly strong when it serves everyone. Many Canadians are struggling to get ahead. The government is responding, reducing middle class taxes and saving two income families up to

eight hundred and forty dollars a year. It will cut the GST on homes at or under one million dollars the first time home buyers, delivering savings of up to fifty thousand dollars, and it will lower the GSD on homes between one million dollars and one point five million dollars.

Speaker 7

The gouvernorment.

Speaker 8

The government will protect the programs that are already saving families thousands of dollars every year. These include childcare and pharmacare. In addition to these, the government has recently expanded the Canadian Idental Care Plan to cover about eight million Canadians, saving the average person more than eight hundred dollars annually.

Speaker 6

The government's overarching goal its core mission is to build the strongest economy in the G seven.

Speaker 7

That starts with creating.

Speaker 6

One Canadian economy out of thirteen internal barriers to trade a mobility cost Canada as much as two hundred billion dollars each year. The government will introduce legislation to remove all remaining federal barriers to internal trade and labor mobility by Canada Day.

Speaker 4

Numerous premiers have already taken vital steps to break down provincial and territorial barriers to trade. Together, we will build on that progress to deliver free trade across the.

Speaker 7

Nation Agis d'afore essencie.

Speaker 4

This is critical to unlocking Canada's full economic potential, but it's not enough.

Speaker 7

To build Canada strong.

Speaker 6

The government is working closely with provinces, territories and Indigenous peoples to identify and catalyze projects of national significance, Projects that will connect to Canada, that will deepen Canada's ties with the world, and that will create high paying jobs for generations. Given the pace of change and the scale

of opportunities, speed is of the essence. Through the creation of a new major Federal Project Office, the time needed to approve a project will be reduced from five years to two, all while upholding Canada's world leading environmental standards and its constitutional obligations to indigenous peoples. The government will also strike cooperation agreements with every interested province and territory within six months to realize its goal of one project,

one review. When Canadians come together, Canada builds things at last, eliminaces, obstacler kifre.

Speaker 4

By removing these barriers that have held back our economy, we will unleash a new era of growth that will ensure we don't just survive ongoing trade wars, but emerge

from them stronger than ever. It will enable Canada to become the world's leading energy superpowered in both clean and conventional energy, to build an industrial strategy that will make Canada more globally competitive while fighting climate change, to build hundreds of thousands of good careers in the skilled trades, and to build Canada into the world's leading hub for science and innovation.

Speaker 6

Critically, the government will undertake a series of measures to help double the rates of home building while creating an entirely new housing industry using Canadian technology, Canadian skilled workers.

Speaker 7

And Canadian lumber.

Speaker 6

The government will introduce measures to deliver affordable homes by creating Build Build Canada Homes. This mission driven organization will act to accelerate the development of new affordable housing. It will invest in the growth of the prefabricated and modular housing industry, and it will provide significant financing to affordable home builders. The government will make the housing market work better, including by cutting municipal development charges in half for all

multi unit housing. The government will drive supply up to bring housing costs down. To be truly strong, Canada must be secure. To that end, the government will introduce legislation to enhance security at Canada's borders. Law and and intelligence agencies will have new tools to stop the flow of fentanyl and his precursors. The Canada Border Services agency will be given new powers to examine goods destined for export to prevent the transport of illegal and stolen products, including cars.

Speaker 7

Le gouvernment plots.

Speaker 4

The government will protect Canada's sovereignty by rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces. It will boost Canada's defense industry by joining rearm Europe to invest in transatlantic security with Canada's European partners, and it will invest to strengthen its presence in the North as this region, which is an integral part of Canada, faces new threats.

Speaker 6

To protect Canadians and their sovereign rights from wherever challenges may come at home or abroad. To keep communities safe, the government will have a thousands more RCMPCE personnel. It will change firearms licensing and strengthen enforcement of yellow and red flag laws. Weapons licenses for those convicted of intimate partner violence and those subjects to protection orders will be revoked.

Through the deployment of scanners, drones and helicopters, additional personnel and canine teams, the government will stem the tide of illegal guns and.

Speaker 7

Drugs across the border.

Speaker 6

It will take these steps while protecting the rights of law abiding gun owners and indigenous people's longstanding hunting traditions. The government will bring a renewed focus on car theft and home invasions by toughening the criminal code to make bail harder to get for repeat offenders charged with committing these crimes, along with human trafficking and drug smuggling. During this time of great change, Canadians are uniting behind what makes Canada unique.

Speaker 7

La lane from says in.

Speaker 4

The French language and the Quebec culture are at the heart of the Canadian identity. They define the country that Canadians and I love so much. Canada is a country that respects and celebrates its official languages and indigenous languages. The government is determined to protect the institutions that bring these cultures and this identity to the world, such as

CBC Radio Canada. It will protect the people who give us access to fresh, healthy and quality food, agricultural producers, and it will protect supply management.

Speaker 6

Nature is core to Canada's identity. In twenty twenty two, Canada convened COP fifteen in Montreal, which concluded with one hundred and ninety six countries, striking a historic agreement to protect thirty percent of their lands and thirty percent of waters by twenty thirty. To this end, the government will protect more of Canada's nature than ever before through the creation of new National parks, national urban parks, marine protected areas,

and other conservation initiatives. The government will always protect the rights and freedoms that the Charter guarantees for every Canadian. The government will be a reliable partner to Indigenous peoples, upholding its fundamental commitment to advancing reconciliation. Central to this commitment is the creation of long term wealth and prosperity

with Indigenous peoples. For that reason, the government will double the Indigenous Loan Guarantee program from five billion dollars to ten billion dollars, enabling more Indigenous communities to become owners of major projects. As Canada moves forward with nation building projects, the government will always be firmly guided by the principle a free, prior and informed consent. Canada's immigration system has long been a source of pride for Canadians and of

dynamism for the economy. The government is dedicated to rebuilding the trust of Canadians in immigration by restoring balance to the system.

Speaker 7

Luguvenimont and Storha.

Speaker 4

The government will cap the total number of temporary foreign workers and international students.

Speaker 7

To less.

Speaker 4

Than to less than five percent of Canada's population by twenty twenty seven. By doing this, the government will attract the best talent in the world to build our economy, while sending a clear message to Canadians working abroad that there is no better time to come home.

Speaker 7

Today's accion the governor.

Speaker 4

In all its actions. The government will be guided by a new fiscal discipline spend less so Canadians can invest.

Speaker 7

More day to day government spending.

Speaker 6

The government's operating budget has been growing by nine percent every year. The government will introduce measures to bring it below two percent. Transfers to provinces, territories, or individuals will be maintained. The government will balance its operating budget over the next three years by cutting waste, capping the public service, ending duplication, and deploying technology to improve public sector productivity.

In parallel, the government will take a series of measures to catalyze new investments to create better jobs and hire incomes for Canadians. The scale of the government's initiative will match the challenges of our times and the ambitions of Canadians. Honorable Senators, Members of the House of Commons, when my dear late mother addressed your predecessors seven decades ago, she said that in that age, and against the backdrop of

international affairs, no nation could live unto itself. It is a source of great pride that in the following decades Canada has continued to set an example to the world in her conduct and values as a force for good.

Speaker 4

Avou, I wish to express to you and to the people of Canada my heart felt gratitude and that of my wife for the warmth of the welcome which we have received.

Speaker 6

Some reminds us the true nose is indeed strong and free. Members of the House of Commons, you will be asked to appropriate the funds to carry out the services and expenditures authorized by Parliament. May you honor the profound trust bestowed upon you by Canadians, and make God bless and guide you in all your duties.

Speaker 9

Bout LeMond, I've had a chance to review the Throne Speech, and I have some primary remarks to make about it today. I must say that there's nothing really new in the Throne Speech. It's essentially the policies that the Liberals have announced for the past several months and broad platitudes. I will say there are some positive indications in that Throne

speech that New Democrats can support. For example, we have long been supporters of building a strong, independent Canadian economy and supporting Canadian companies making Canadian goods and services and becoming champions on the global stage, creating good jobs here

at home. And we also are very much in favor of building a diversified trade relationship so that Canada can take better advantage of exporting our goods and services with reliable trade partners and reducing our reliance on the United States. We are also pleased to see a commitment to promote more internal trade between Canadian provinces and territories and to facilitate labor mobility. We think that will help build a stronger domestic Canadian economy. And finally, I'm glad to see

that housing is mentioned in the Throne speech. New Democrats have for decades been advocating for the federal government to play a stronger role in creating the millions of affordable homes that Canadians need from.

Speaker 10

Coast to coast to coast.

Speaker 9

I will say on the more negative side, this is not a worker centered Throne speech. And I'm also very concerned about what is not mentioned in the Throne speech. For example, the words healthcare are absent from the Throne speech. You won't find any reference to indigenous housing, perhaps the most acute need for affordable housing in the country within

that important demographic group. And also we're not seeing any of the kinds of protections that we think Canadian workers need to have in the face of the threats that Donald Trump's tariffs present to our country. Finally, I'm i think most concerned about the economic message sent in this Throne speech. Essentially, they're cutting revenue to the federal government and at the same time saying they're going to keep spending to under two percent, which is the rate of

inflation or maybe under inflation. That can only mean one thing for Canadians. It means a cut to the public services that Canadians rely on. And so we'll be working hard in the House to bring these messages to the floor of the House of Commons and advocating for the kinds of services that we need, the protections Canadian workers want and deserve, and to build the kind of Canadian economy that we know Canada is uh is so capable of,

and that Canadians so richly deserve. I'll now turnover the mic to my colleague alexandle bou.

Speaker 5

This is.

Speaker 13

The king kind of saying that he wants the Canada will become an energy superpower in the Speech from the Throne and this you know the implications on resource development.

Speaker 9

Well, there was a passing reference to the being an energy superpower involving clean or renewable energy. Uh So to that degree, I think that that's a bit of an indication that the government recognizes that part of becoming an energy superpower in the twenty first century is becoming a leader in renewable energy and sustainable energy sources.

Speaker 10

But you know, that's something we're gonna have to watch carefully.

Speaker 9

I think, you know, Canadians want to see Canada meet our international obligations that we've signed, for instance in Paris and otherwise. I think Candams are very concerned about, you know, our carbon emissions and we're about to enter a season of where wildfires and floods have become the norm, and of course there's a huge economic cost to not dealing with climate change in that context. So we're gonna have

to wait and see what the details are. You know, this budget was long on platitudes, short on details, and I think when we talk about such important issues, this is where we really have to focus efforts and find out exactly what they mean by this.

Speaker 8

What is your da si on speech committee in Canada to where rearmed Europe?

Speaker 9

Then well we haven't a chance to really look into what that really means for Canada.

Speaker 10

At this point. We'll be talking about that with our caucus. We'll have more to say about that. Mister Davis.

Speaker 14

When I was listening to this speech, I mean, you served under the last Harper government.

Speaker 1

You were here.

Speaker 14

The speech made me think of a Harper speech.

Speaker 12

From the throne.

Speaker 14

You know, in my colleague reference, no reference to climate change. We're talking about tough on crime, we're talking about defense planking.

Speaker 13

I wonder if you could reflect on.

Speaker 14

That and what you heard at this speech that made you think liberal government versus let's say, a government of a different partisans, Right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 9

Mean The phrase that came to my mind is that this is not a worker centered throne speech. I guess another way to put it is it also struck me as a bit of a conservative light thrown speech. I think you're quite right to identify that there's many provisions of this throne speech I could easily have been written by a conservative government. I suppose if I had to strain for a few areas that I think would differentiate it, it would be in housing. There is a reference there.

There is a reference of protecting Canadian culture and for instance, institutions like the CBC Radio Canada. I think I think Canadians do want to have strong Canadian cultural institutions at this time. I think that's a differentiation as well. But fundamentally, from an economic point of view, this is a very conservative throne speech and I think it's going to be

a very conservative government. And that's why new Democrats are going to be I think such an important voices Parliament to be pushing for progressive policies.

Speaker 10

I'll finish with one last little example.

Speaker 9

The only reference to pharmacare and deentalcare we're in protecting them. There is not a single reference to any expansion of of those programs at all. And again, as I mentioned, how could you have a Canadian throne speech that fails to even use the words healthcare. So these are very alarming omissions to me. They're deliberate, they're not accidental, and I think it shows why New Democrats voices are going to be so important in this minority.

Speaker 10

Parliament supporting the throne speech.

Speaker 9

We'll have to discuss the throne speech at our caucus meeting tomorrow. We'll make these decisions collectively, So we'll make that decision in the days ahead, said school in school, this.

Fend the metro plan it transfer me say massage on accillent veritab a contrade. Thank you very much everyone, And before I begin, let me thank my Deputy Leader Melissa Lanceman.

We joined today in thanking his majesty for coming to Canada and delivering the throne speech, reinforcing our ancient, great British liberties of parliamentary system that goes back eight hundred years, a system that has served Canada well and has been the foundation of what I love to call the Canadian promise that anyone who works hard gets a great life

in a nice, affordable house on a safe street. That's the promise that we use Conservatives ran to restore, and it's why we were able to get two million more votes and twenty four more seats. We inspired a lot of people that we would fight for those that Canadian promise and bring forward that hope. And then we were looking for that promise and that hope. In the speech today, we did see a lot of the right slogans and political talking points, but no clear plans to get it done.

One slogan dealt with controlling government spending, but there were no specific savings to roll back the morbidly obese liberal government's costs. We saw promises about getting things built, but no mention of oil and gas or pipelines. Hipelines are, of course the thing we most need to build. Didn't get one mention, Nor did they mention getting rid of the anti energy laws that have kept our resources in

the ground C. Sixty nine. Then no Development Law CE forty eight, the shipping BAM, the energy cap, the electric vehicle mandate, all of these things were left out of the speech altogether, no specific plans to get anything done, even though, as the Prime Minister said, we are in a crisis to break American break our dependence on the

American economy. They mentioned crime, but refused to say that they would repeal the Liberal catch and release bail law C. Seventy five or the House arrest law laws that have allowed rampant chaos and crime to overtake our once tranquil streets. No mention of overcoming the opioid crisis and replacing tax funded drugs and legalization with treatment and recovery. No mention of real plans to get taxes under control by reducing the cost of government. So we're here to turn the

government's talking points into real plans. We pledge to work with the government to repeal the anti energy law see sixty nine. Repeal the energy cap, the electric vehicle mandate, the offshore shipping ban. Let's get our pipelines building. Let's get our goods to markets other than the United States. We're here to propose cuts to bureaucracy, consultants, foreign aid, and corporate welfare so that we can bring down taxes, debt, and inflation. Let's repeal the catch and release laws so

that we can restore safety to our streets. Let's invest in treatment and recovery to bring our loved ones home drug free. In other words, let's replace the talking points with real plans to get it done. That is what conservatives pledged to do. That is what Canadians voted for us to fight for, and that is what we will deliver. Thank you very much.

Speaker 5

There will support.

Speaker 10

This is from the throne if there's stuff you can support in it.

Speaker 13

There are some messages we want to see is plans, so we're going to put forward. We consider it to be a constructive amendment that will add very specific plans. So, for example, the government says they want to get projects built, great, we've got just the plan to do it.

Speaker 10

Repeal c.

Speaker 13

Sixty nine the anti development law, Repeal the energy cap, the offshore shipping ban, the electric vehicle mandate, and unlock the incredible investment that could bring jobs and self sufficiency to Canada. They say they want to reverse course on crime, Well we've got the plan for that too. We will put forward to an amendment that says that they should repeal see seventy five the catch and release bail law.

They say they want they want to get their spending back kind of hilariously act under control after decades of overspending. Well we've got plans for that too, So our amendment will put real plan in place rather than slogans and talking points.

Speaker 12

This speech could have essentially been written by a conservative government.

Speaker 13

Do you agree, well, I would have written a different speech. So the the speech that I would have written would have would have said the things that I just said.

Speaker 14

Now you.

Speaker 14

Can we just just pick up a lot of this having the king whatever was meant to assert something about Canada to the world. Did you take that away from the speech and what do you think the impact of all that messaging is on how people perceive us, including but not limited to Donald Trump.

Speaker 7

You know, it's.

Speaker 13

It's been a centuries old debate between Canada's relationship primary relationship with the Crown and with our closest neighbor. We saw that as far back as John A. MacDonald. We saw it again in the free trade debate. I think it is important to reinforce the British traditions of our parliamentary democracy and to reassert that we have a centuries old friendship with the United Kingdom. Those traditions survive today.

The place behind me right now is following many of the same rules that were scribbled on parchment hundreds of years ago in Britain. And all of course, this was the result of the Great Magna Carta, an eight hundred year old tradition that basically created liberty under the law. So I think it's important that the world recognized that we have those ancient traditions. The Americans recognize that we are an independent and free country that will make its

own decisions. Thank you very much, everybody.
