Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, under the previous government, the natural resources committee did a study called “The Cross-Canada Benefits of the Oil and Gas Industry”. We understood that this is not an either-or situation; it is both-and. Of course, Conservatives support investments in green

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, while it is a privilege to stand in this place and participate in debates, it has become commonplace that we have to deal with bills put forward by the Liberal government that are typically ideologically driven, deeply flawed and divisive in nature. Yesterday even

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, we see historic levels of corruption. Conservatives have uncovered a tangled web of chaos, collusion and cover-ups in the arrive scam scandal, just the latest example of Liberal insiders' getting rich. GC Strategies o

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I am glad to hear from the member that he supports the unanimous decision by the committee to call Mr. Firth to the bar. What I can also share with the House is that it has taken us a long time to get here. This study has been going on for 18 months, and what we

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I think what we continue to see is that the Liberal government refuses to take responsibility for its own failures. The Liberals try to distract and misdirect so that no one will actually focus on their abysmal record. The Liberals and their mountain of scandals

Privilege  Madam Speaker, it has taken us a long time to get to this point. We have exhausted every avenue we have had as a committee to use the tools we have to get to the bottom of this scandal, and time and time again we have been stalled. Witnesses have refused to answer questions and h

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely shocking to be standing here in this place and bearing witness to events that, in and of themselves, are difficult to believe. However, when one stacks them all up together, this situation reeks of the Liberal cronyism, corruption and incompetence th

Government Contracting  Mr. Speaker, 17 months of investigating arrive scam and the Liberals have been forced to face the mess of corruption they have created. First, they said that there was nothing to see here and voted against the Auditor General's investigation. Then they said that it was a one-of

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would like you to clarify if, in fact, it is a point of order when a member absolutely misleads the House about what another member said during debate.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of constituents in my riding. They are calling on the Government of Canada to support Bill C-310, which would amend the Income Tax Act to increase tax credits for volunteer firefighting and search and rescue volunteer serv

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have to believe that it smarts a little to know that one's value in this place has been bargained away simply to prop up the failed Liberal government. We want to talk about standing up for Canadians, rather than their hunger for power. They should be standing u

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member well knows that requires the unanimous consent of everyone in this place. The fact that he is misleading the House is simply to cover up the fact that under the Liberal government outsourcing has absolutely skyrocketed, even though, in 2015, it campaign

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is important to remember that the Auditor General stated in her report that this was the worst she had ever seen when it came to glaring mismanagement, the lack of documentation and, ultimately, undermining value for money for Canadians. I sat in on all the mee

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for New Brunswick Southwest. The arrive scam boondoggle has rightly put the government’s mismanagement of taxpayer dollars in the spotlight. At one point everyone in the government wanted to be associated with the Arrive

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, after eight long years of the Prime Minister, everything feels broken, and Canadians are struggling. Rent is up and housing costs have doubled, resulting in the rise of tent cities, and crime runs rampant on streets across the country. The Prime Minister is not worth
