Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives agree to apply the vote, with the Conservatives voting in favour.

[Business of the House, December 11th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the Liberals have decided to allow for Bill C-14 to pass. We have, on 17 occasions over the last number of hours, asked for the Liberals to expedite Bill C-14 and to allow for consideration of the bill. The Liberals continue to obstruct this bill, putting forward limitations on religious freedom in Bill C-9. Conservatives will continue to oppose those measures but would like to ensure the safety and security of all Canadians by providing what we believe is a counterfeit version of what Canadians are demanding in terms of fixing Liberal bail. We believe that the provisions would at least provide some level of protection.

Will the House leader give us an update as to when that might happen?

While I am on my feet, it is now the Christmas season, and this may be my last opportunity to stand in the House to thank all members for their dedication and support to their constituents. As they return home, we hope they will have a safe holiday season.

I want to thank the pages, who have dedicated hours to the House and to our service. We want to thank the table officers, the interpreters and all staff who support us, both here in the administration and in the House, as well as in our Hill and constituency offices.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Merry Christmas to you.

Conservatives agree to apply, but Conservatives will be voting in favour of this motion.

[Natural Resources, December 9th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, before the Prime Minister was elected, he said that half of all oil reserves should stay in the ground, but two weeks ago, when signing an MOU in the province of Alberta, he said that he is now supportive of a proposal to build an oil pipeline between Alberta and a northern British Columbia port. Now that he has returned to Ottawa, he is telling his “keep it in the ground” caucus not to worry, because this project is never going to get built. The Prime Minister has become a master at telling one group of people one thing and another group of people the complete opposite.

Today in the House, Liberals are going to have an opportunity to finally tell Canadians where they actually stand. Will they vote “yes” to the very words the Prime Minister wrote in the MOU to support a pipeline, or are they going to vote “no” and clearly reject a proposal to build a pipeline that would finally cut Canadian dependence on the United States?

Canadian voters and investors are watching. What is it going to be? It is simple: Do Liberals support this pipeline or not?

Madam Speaker, my friend articulated the Prime Minister's failure to get a deal with the Americans. Obviously, the Prime Minister made a promise to get a trade deal with the Americans by July. He has failed to do that. He has done a whole bunch of things to try to now get that deal, but he continues to fail after having promised Canadians he would get it done.

When it comes to the media, one of the greatest injustices to Canadian democracy is not allowing the media to see what these ministers might sign off on. If they employ—

Madam Speaker, my colleague points out, exactly, the hypocrisy of the party that claims to believe in transparency. I remember a time when the members talked about sunlight being the best disinfectant, yet what we are seeing is a government clouded by more secrecy than we have ever seen with any government before.

They are not trying to rectify this as they are being called out for being secretive. They are included in this very bill we are debating before the House right now. Division 5 of part 5 clearly articulates the ability of ministers to, in the darkness of night, sign provisions to give out exemptions from federal law to their buddies. This is not democratic, and there will be no oversight for these provisions. There will be no accountability. It will be done. Canadians will have to pay for it.

Madam Speaker, the hon. member said, “Prove it.” He is heckling. I can tell him to look at the Stellantis contract. Was there a protection for Canadians as the Liberals dished out billions of dollars to their corporate friends? Absolutely not. Look at the Algoma deal. There were 1,000 layoffs this past week, and hundreds of millions of dollars handed over to the company with no guarantee for the 1,000 people who lost their jobs.
