Carbon Pricing Madam Speaker, there is a common misconception about carbon pollution pricing and, quite frankly, I am surprised to be having this conversation with the member, who is extremely reasonable and generally quite fact-based and believes in science. Three hundred top economists from

Foreign Affairs Madam Speaker, it goes without saying that this is an extremely difficult topic to discuss in the House of Commons. The member opposite and I have spent some time together discussing this, and our personal views are very well aligned. I would actually say that we are not members

Sport Madam Speaker, I want to once again thank my colleague for his interest in this file, which is very timely and very important to me. It is possible for us to want the same positive results while disagreeing somewhat on how to implement the change. The member and I will have to h

Pharmacare Act Mr. Speaker, that is a shameful display of the type of anti-choice rhetoric that happens in the House far too often with Conservatives. The facts remain: Women want the right to choose. They want the right to choose how to have their bodies, and—
