Pensions  Mr. Speaker, it is a bit rich coming from that member to be on a high horse about political affiliations given his past. Let us be clear. There is not a single recipient of old age security today who is going to lose a red cent, and that would be a Liberal red cent, as a result

Environment committee   members to essentially say that businesses will withdraw investment if there are good, clear environmental rights and responsibilities and options for citizens to be involved, I think it really undermines the business community and expresses a great lack of confidence

Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act   position is clear. We want to see the legitimate concerns of rural Canadians and aboriginals addressed, while ensuring that police officers have the tools they need to keep our communities safer.
