I know we're going to be wrapping up here soon. I would like to put a motion on notice for the first available opportunity, as follows:
That the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development report to the House that, in the interest of restoring Canadian economic sovereignty, it recommends that the government immediately introduce a Canada sovereignty act that:
(a) Re-establishes Canada as a competitive resource-producing nation by repealing federal measures that block or penalize development, including:
the Impact Assessment Act (formerly Bill C-69);
the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act (Bill C-48);
the federal industrial carbon tax;
the oil and gas emissions cap;
the federal electric vehicle sales mandate;
the federal plastics manufacturing prohibitions; and
federal regulatory restrictions that impede communication and advocacy by Canadian energy companies;
(b) Rewards provinces, businesses and workers who build and invest in Canada by:
introducing a Canada first reinvestment tax cut to spur domestic industrial activity; and
providing free trade bonuses to provincial governments that remove internal trade barriers and fully open their markets to fellow Canadians; and
(c) Protects Canadian innovation by requiring the Minister of Industry to present plans to Parliament to keep Canada's inventions, discoveries and innovations from being sold off to other countries.
This is a common-sense motion that I look forward to debating and having our committee pass and refer back to the House.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
