Health  I am sorry, Mr. Speaker. Wearing a mask has made me cough. I meant to say “outliers”.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, I disagree. I think in the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we should show the House's unanimity, hopefully, on this.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, I would like to say sorry to my colleague, the House leader, but yes, we would like to request a recorded division.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Madam Speaker, for the Canadians who are watching this at home, I will say this. What would one call a government that is able to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants and to whomever it wants without any consequences or seeking the permission of the House? I will let the folks at home come up with that answer.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Madam Speaker, my colleague across the way, as much as I try to have respect for what he has to say, is actually completely wrong. He is not only misleading Canadians who are watching this, but this has never been done. This type of motion, the removal of quorum and the autopilot on government legislation has never happened in the 16 years I have been an MP.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Madam Speaker, I am pretty sure I am appearing calm and poised. I am not sure what the outrage is all about. The member has his opinions about prorogation and that is fine if that is what the procedure and House affairs committee wanted to talk about, but the reality is if the member believes so strongly in what he said, the NDP may be the worst negotiators in the world because the NDP just negotiated a supply and confidence agreement with the Liberals.

Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Madam Speaker, may Gord rest in peace. We miss him here. I will be splitting my time with my colleague for Battle River—Crowfoot. I rise to oppose government Motion No. 11. It is not because we do not want to have more debate here; it is just that my colleague, who just spoke across the way, does not understand what the contents of his own motion are.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Madam Speaker, we respectfully request a recorded division.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021  Madam Speaker, like my colleague from Perth—Wellington, this is my first opportunity to speak to Bill C-8 at any stage of this bill's process going through the House of Commons, and I appreciate the opportunity to actually have the ability to speak to Bill C-8 at least while I still have it under the guillotine of Motion No. 11.

Health  Madam Speaker, if the NDP-Liberals will not follow the province's lead and give unvaccinated Canadians their rights back, maybe they will follow our international partners. We know that the Prime Minister values his playboy image on the world stage more than anything else, as his travels and selfies prove, but our international partners are bewildered as to why the Canadian government is so reluctant to let life return to normal for all Canadians.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order in regard to government Motion No. 11, and in particular paragraph (b)(ii) of the motion, which states: after 6:30 p.m. the Speaker shall not receive any quorum calls or dilatory motions, and shall only accept a request for unanimous consent after receiving a notice from the House leaders or whips of all recognized parties stating that they are in agreement with such a request.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, it never ceases to amaze me that the Bloc Québécois is actually here to tell Albertans how to live their lives. They seem to be more obsessed with the industries and businesses in Alberta than they are with the industries and businesses in their own province. If the member was actually listening to my speech, I talked about carbon capture, utilization and storage.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I am a proud Albertan. I am an MP who used to work in the patch. I was a roughneck. I worked on directional drilling rigs as an MWD hand. I am very familiar with the oil and gas sector, so I am able to explain it. I apologize if it offends some people that I actually have that experience.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I am at a loss at the lack of knowledge that my hon. colleague has when it comes to the oil and gas sector. This is clean sweet crude that is in carbon capture, utilization and storage technology. This is going into reservoirs that have long since been abandoned, after the water flood and everything else that has happened, to recover oil, because liquefied carbon dioxide actually unbinds that oil from the porous structures deep in the ground and releases that easy energy that we already have from all those years ago.
