First Nations Clean Water Act  Madam Speaker, absolutely not, because I have seen innovation with housing on Siksika Nation. Its people contracted a construction company from Ontario. It builds cement houses in 30 days. They are beautiful homes from start to finish, and they are turnkey. Siksika Nation is innovative; it knows how to find solutions.

First Nations Clean Water Act  Madam Speaker, it seems as though everybody wants to sue the government in power all the time. However, I want there to be legislation that is as good as it can be so that it limits the possibility of such a challenge happening.

First Nations Clean Water Act  Madam Speaker, it may not be the last time—

First Nations Clean Water Act  Yes, sometimes old dogs learn new tricks. It is incumbent and the collective responsibility of everyone, especially the Government of Canada, to empower first nations and indigenous communities across the country to achieve self-determination on this issue. In order to get this right, the government must listen to all first nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

First Nations Clean Water Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his statement on this particular issue. I am not indigenous, but I know consultation and I know how important it is in the experiences I have had. Oftentimes, people in this country put groups of people together as one. We cannot treat all indigenous people in this country as one group.

First Nations Clean Water Act  I am sorry, Madam Speaker. Please object if I make a mistake with that.

First Nations Clean Water Act  Madam Speaker, it is always a privilege to stand in our House of Commons to debate topics, and tonight we have an incredible topic to discuss. Before I start, I have to recognize the Brooks Bandits in my community for winning the cup this season. When we talk about water, it is life.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition from residents of Langdon. There are seven thousand residents in this area and they do not have a post office. They need a post office. Canada Post does not have a post office in this community. The residents are redirected 30 kilometres away.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, Canadians such as Tammy in my riding are being squeezed for every last penny. Families are paying hundreds of dollars every month on a tax plan that has not hit a single target. While Liberal ministers get chauffeured around town, they lecture Canadians and say the planet will burn if they drive to work or drive their kids to school.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition from 7,000 residents of Langdon who have been without a post office for a year and a half. I can understand why Canada Post is losing money when it is not providing a service in this community. People are being directed 30 kilometres away to another community.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition on behalf of residents of Langdon, a community of 7,000 people. The petitioners note that they have been without a post office for a year and a half. Ninety per cent of residents surveyed said that they need a post office within the area.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Calgary Rocky Ridge understands what the oil industry did in the city of Calgary, what it could do and how it was devastated by these Liberal policies. Can he imagine what this kind of policy would stop from happening in the Atlantic region? It has possibilities, but what does he really think would happen, as he may have seen what the Liberal government did to the industry in Alberta, particularly Calgary?

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, one of the things we have heard tonight is that the Liberals are ramming the bill through. Is it just a shot or is there some darker motive? They know they will be in trouble and some things will never get done.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague is from the area of the heartland in Alberta. He knows it well and knows how development can happen there. What has the member seen when development works? What could happen elsewhere in this country? What optimism does he have for what our country could be if it was developed like the heartland in his constituency?

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, on the question of cutting things, we are being told by our constituents that the thing they want cut is the number of Liberal government seats, but the reality of what people are telling us is that the costs are significant and the carbon tax is really brutal. As the government, in its budget, continues to want to increase it, I am hearing from my constituents about cutting the carbon tax.
