Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, having grown up in a part of the country that is known for being the focal point of oil refining and development, northern Alberta and Fort McMurray, I am delighted to know that many of the individuals helping to grow Canada's economy are Atlantic Canadians. The offshore contributes significantly to our nation's production, including 35% of Canada's total light crude production and close to 10% of Canada's total crude production 2010.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned before, I think the committee testimony was quite clear. The regulatory process has begun and we will be continuing the development of regulations following the passage of the bill. Provisions within the proposed amendments require that the regulations be completed within the next five years, and we are continuing to receive input.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, as has been mentioned before, our government will continue to work with the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador with respect to the safety of these offshore areas. Commissioner Wells was actually very clear at the natural resources committee in December, when he said that he was pleased with our offshore health and safety legislation.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for London North Centre for really focusing on jobs. This is a huge component of what we are trying to achieve here. Whether it be the almost 5,000 individuals in Newfoundland and Labrador, or the over 1,000 individuals in Nova Scotia, this will have a direct impact on them by ensuring that we are growing the oil and gas economy in Atlantic Canada and reaching out not only directly to those employees, but also via the spinoff benefits to the individuals who are beneficiaries of this.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, with respect to the specific report, I would have to ask my officials, since I do not have a note on that. However, extensive consultations have taken place since 2003, which were updated in 2010 and 2011. Employers, employees, and governments have all been consulted and are very supportive of what is going forward.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned before, I think I answered this question, which was that Mr. Wells was very clear at the Natural Resources committee in December that he was pleased with the offshore health and safety legislation that currently exists.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  moved that the bill be read the third time and passed. Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to add my voice to support this worthy legislation. If there is one thing our government has been crystal clear about when it comes to energy development, it is that public health and safety and environmental protection are paramount.

Use of House of Commons Resources  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 56.1, I move: That the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs be instructed to consider the matter of accusations of the Official Opposition's improper use of House of Commons resources for partisan purposes; and That the Leader of the Opposition be ordered to appear as a witness at a televised meeting of the committee to be held no later than May 16, 2014.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to (a), while there are no specific provisions related to the outdoor storage of this material, the Canada occupational health and safety regulation XIX, hazard prevention program requires that an assessment be conducted of any hazards related to working with this material, and the development of safe work procedures to protect employees from these hazards.

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, our government continues to take concrete action to address this tragic problem. As I mentioned before, we all in this House express our extreme condolences to the family of this young lady, Loretta Saunders. I will say, though, yet again, that we have taken action.

Aboriginal Affairs  As I mentioned, Mr. Speaker, we have taken action, in this budget alone, budget 2014. We encourage the opposition to support that budget.

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, first let me express my condolences to the family and friends of Loretta Saunders. The one thing I will note is that our government has taken concrete action to deal with the tragic issue of murdered and missing aboriginal women. In fact, in economic action plan 2014, we will invest an additional $25 million to deal with this tragic issue.

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, as the member opposite mentioned, I think we all mourn when a family loses a loved one. As I mentioned before, we express our condolences. I express my condolences to the family of this young woman. With respect to action, our government has taken action. We have invested in economic action plan 2014.

Aboriginal Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I think all members of this House express their condolences to the family and are deeply concerned with respect to this tragic issue. As I have said multiple times in this House today, we have taken action and we will continue to take action. I want to commend those who are part of the special parliamentary committee that is looking into this issue.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, our government has been focused on making sure women have access to jobs and that they can enjoy the prosperity of Canada. Whether that be young women who now have access to the apprenticeship loan program or whether that be the young women I have met who are out learning skilled professional trades and will benefit from the Canada job grant, we are focused on making sure women have jobs and have a high quality of life for their families.
