Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I do not know how much I have to beseech the members on the other side to actually read the report they are referring to here, because they will find the numbers somewhat instructive. However, let us go “déjà vu, all over again” because we can look at the 1980s for

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today, as always. Several weeks ago, back in December actually, I asked the Minister of Finance a question in the House of Commons about why European nations were withdrawing any taxes on their fuels in Europe to the tune of about 8,000 euro

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, small businesses are struggling in this inflationary environment. Borrowing costs and bankruptcies are both up. Most economists agree that we are on the verge of a recession, and the government's response is to increase taxes on April 1, which will hurt small busines

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the hon. member has twice put this piece of information out there, which seems to be a back channel way of—

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, Conservatives are in accord with our friends in the NDP in this regard. This has been a gross overspend. We would like to see exactly where the money has been spent, but in the annals of Canadian history, to be $22 billion over-budget on a $7.5-billion project, bef

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. It is a good question. It is not the minister himself who is responsible for the approval of regulations, it is the Governor in Council. It is cabinet, the council of ministers, that is responsible for Canadian laws. It is no

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague's question is on call to action 79, which calls for indigenous, Métis and Inuit representation on the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada and its secretariat. That is one of the calls to action. The other calls to action are just as important,

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the intervention from my learned colleague, as always. Budget 2019 was another example of the Minister of the Environment overstepping, as we are seeing the authority being given in this bill, when they actually unilaterally withdrew lands that were d

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to stand in the House of Commons today to discuss Bill C-23. Today and every day, I am pleased to represent the interests of the citizens of Calgary Centre. One of the purposes of this bill is to create a Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Can

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, obviously the victims of artificial intelligence crimes are usually seniors. The victims of this type of violence are primarily seniors in our community. We need to protect people who do not realize they are sharing such personal information with service providers

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, never in all my speeches have the questions been so astute as this. That is exactly the case. We have a tribunal now being created, with a whole bunch of people, six people, three of whom are going to have to know something about what they are talking about, which

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, it is a very good question. Often, we differ on policies in the House, but it is still good to wish others here a happy birthday, no matter whether we differ in our policy positions one way or another. Cordiality, of course, is very common here. When we are saying

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I rise today to address the House with respect to Bill C-27, the digital charter implementation act, 2022. It is just a year or so behind. Thirty-four years ago, the Supreme Court of Canada recognized that privacy was at the heart of liberty. Much has changed sinc

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, this is good news: Tourmaline energy, Canada's largest natural gas producer, has just started delivery of clean Canadian natural gas through pipelines to Chicago, then south to the U.S. gulf coast for delivery to Asian markets, proving to the skeptics that there is a

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the narrative, although I do not think there was a response at all to my question. In fact, with respect to the narrative about the Parliamentary Budget Office and how much Canadians are paying, I think he should read that report, because
