Weekly Statement – November 6, 2025

Hon. Steven MacKinnon (Minister of Transport and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, Lib.): 

Mr. Speaker, I want to join my hon. friend in saluting our country's veterans, their families and their communities, and all of those we take a moment to remember on November 11. I know all of those people deeply appreciate the support that Canadians demonstrate in their communities on Remembrance Day. I want to join my friend, the opposition House leader, in sending along those wishes.

I want to thank members for an eventful budget week. We are looking forward, of course, to continuing debate on the budget today.

The vote on the Conservative Party subamendment will take place later today. We will resume debate on the budget tomorrow, as well as on the Monday after we return from spending the week of Remembrance Day in our ridings.

On Tuesday, Bill C-14, the bail and sentencing reform act, will be debated again at the second reading stage.

On Wednesday, we will move to the report stage and third reading of Bill C-4, an act respecting certain affordability measures for Canadians and another measure.

I wish all members a good week of work in their constituencies as they ponder that final vote on this year's budget, which, as we saw today in question period, contains multitudes for so many Canadians who are looking for a hand up and a way forward.
