Statements in the House

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act October 31st, 2022

Madam Speaker, I heard the member's speech and would agree. We are all concerned about the environment and having harmful chemicals affect our kids and their drinking water.

The Liberal member across the way asked her a question. I would like to ask her a question about the Liberal record of inaction on the environment.

What makes her think that now is going to be any different by just putting one more law in the books in regard to the environment?

Petitions October 24th, 2022

Madam Speaker, I am tabling a petition today that a colleague has already tabled. The petition is on Bill S-223, a bill that seeks to combat the terrible practice of organ harvesting and trafficking. It has been before the House, as many of us have heard, for the last 15 years and beyond. Unfortunately, it was supposed to be at the foreign affairs committee today, but the committee cancelled its meeting.

The petitioners want to see Bill S-223 passed as soon as possible.

Business of Supply October 20th, 2022

Madam Speaker, I thought it was unbecoming of the member across the way to correct a Conservative member and incorrectly refer to the member for New Westminster—Burnaby as the member for Burnaby South, so I hope he gets—

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act October 19th, 2022

I tried, but you did not recognize me.

Fisheries and Oceans October 19th, 2022

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' commitment to the 30 by 30 agenda to protect 30% of lands and 30% of waters by 2030 is having huge impacts on our outdoor community and is blocking our own access to our own public lands and waters. Instead of protection where necessary, the Liberals have adopted the ever-increasing blind closures of radical ENGOs who, DFO officials have admitted, are at the decision-making tables at DFO.

Recently, at the fisheries and oceans committee, we learned that, despite two UBC studies saying there is an abundance of chinook salmon for our southern resident killer whales in B.C., DFO closed the fishery anyway. Witness after witness testified that political decisions are superseding science.

In traditional grounds outside of Sidney, B.C., at Pender Bluffs, Washington state data has proven that southern resident killer whales are only in the area seven to 10 days a year and that moving bubble zone closures could be used when they are present. Instead, DFO closed the area permanently.

It is time the Liberals start listening to the science and the sound advice from our local environmental stewards, not the radical agendas put forward by ENGOs.

Taxation October 18th, 2022

Mr. Speaker, northerners are facing unaffordable gas, groceries and home heating bills. I was in Inuvik recently, and two and a half litres of orange juice was over $21, ground beef was over $16 a kilogram and Kraft Dinner was over three dollars a box. Liberal inflation and carbon taxes are already punishing northerners and it will soon be impossible for them to afford it.

On behalf of all northerners, will the Prime Minister end his plan to triple taxes on gas, groceries and home heating?

Canada Disability Benefit Act October 17th, 2022

Mr. Speaker, we were talking about the lack of benefits for people with disabilities and the poverty that is often the reality for them, and the sad state where they are actually being given an option of using MAID as a terrible solution to the problem.

Could the member speak to that, and maybe to some of the reasons why we want to get behind our folks with disabilities in Canada?

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2 October 3rd, 2022

Madam Speaker, I think the member is confused. The Conservatives are not in government. It is actually the Liberal Party that is in government now.

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2 October 3rd, 2022

Madam Speaker, we just heard a comment from the NDP that suggested that taxpayers just like those big, bad corporations were the bad guys. I would like the member to reflect on this. In essence, every tax dollar comes out of the pockets of taxpayers.

Could he reflect on where the money comes from for these payroll taxes?
