Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, let us do a little history lesson. The PBO once said that eight out of 10 Canadians are better off under the pollution pricing scheme. Flash forward to today and the PBO says eight out of 10 Canadians are better off under the pollution pricing scheme. Do members know where they are not better off, though?

Certificates of Nomination  Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 111.1, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, a certificate of nomination and biographical notes for the proposed appointment of Christine Ivory as Parliamentary Librarian. I request that this certificate of nomination and biographical notes be referred to the Standing Joint Committee on the Library of Parliament.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I will repeat it in French for the member: Canada has among the most stringent ethics and conflict of interest provisions in the world for public office holders. The minister in question appeared yesterday before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics for one hour and answered all of those questions.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I, of course, just answered that question, so I would invite the member to move on.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I, of course, just answered all—

Ethics  Indeed, Mr. Speaker, I thank you for that. That is beneath the dignity of this place, where we presume all members are honourable. The member in question spent an hour at committee yesterday answering questions from the member and other members. Of course, I know the member will continue to ask those questions and I will give the same answer.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, of course Canada has among the toughest, most stringent ethics and conflict of interest provisions in the world for public office holders. The minister in question appeared yesterday before committee for one hour and answered all of those questions.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite should be careful what he asks for, but I will reiterate, for the benefit of the House, that eight out of 10 Canadians are better off today than they were before because of the price on pollution. As a bonus, on World Environment Day, when it comes to the environment and climate change, we are making contributions to achieve our targets, and we can do Canada's part, as I know all Canadians want to do, in combatting climate change.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, math is really not the long suit of the party over there. The PBO has specifically said and has repeated time after time, and one would think Conservatives would understand, that eight out of 10 Canadians are better off under the price on pollution in the affected provinces.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  moved: That, in relation to Bill C-20, An Act establishing the Public Complaints and Review Commission and amending certain Acts and statutory instruments, not more than five further hours shall be allotted to the consideration at report stage and five hours shall be allotted to the consideration at the third reading stage of the bill; and That, at the expiry of the five hours provided for the consideration at report stage and at the expiry of the five hours provided for the consideration at the third reading stage of the said bill, any proceedings before the House shall be interrupted, if required for the purpose of this order, and, in turn, every question necessary for the disposal of the said stage of the bill then under consideration shall be put forthwith and successively, without further debate or amendment.

Business of the House  Madam Speaker, while my colleague is preparing his excellent answer for the member, I would like to request that the ordinary hour of daily adjournment of the next sitting and the sitting on Thursday of this week be 12 midnight, pursuant to order made Wednesday, February 28.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, an agreement could not be reached under the provisions of Standing Order 78(1) or 78(2) with respect to the report stage and third reading of Bill C-20, an act establishing the public complaints and review commission and amending certain acts and statutory instruments.

Ethics  Madam Speaker, Canada has one of the most stringent conflict of interest and ethics guidelines and rules for officials and ministers that exists in the world. The minister has complied with all of them and has answered all of the questions that the member just put.

Ethics  Madam Speaker, once again, the member knows very well that the minister has complied fully with all of his obligations under the conflict of interest and ethics guidelines. The member keeps going on, a bit like Javert, on the issue, but I guess that is the job he has been given, and that is why we have to continue to answer the questions that have been answered repeatedly.

Ethics  Madam Speaker, once again, Conservatives are really trying to reach and take wild swings. Ministers are required to submit to the most rigorous conflict of interest and ethics requirements in the western world. The minister and all ministers have fully complied with those requirements.
