Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, in 2019 Canadian farmers faced another difficult harvest made worse by the Liberal government adding an additional tax burden. From grain drying to rail transportation, heating and electricity, farmers are being gouged by the Liberal carbon tax. Saskatchewan farmers are expecting to lose 8% of their total net income to the carbon tax this year and that number is set to rise.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, that was very thoughtful and I enjoyed quite a bit of what was said. The question I have is this. Do we value women? I have heard over and over in the House, regarding this specific case, that sexual needs were put over the value of women. Why is this happening in society?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, sitting in this place listening to debate today, I think the biggest travesty of all is that two lives have been lost. It is unfortunate and devastating that a second person had to lose her life for this issue to be looked at. I know, and I have heard and agree, that the process needs to be changed.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, that is a great question. I am all about making life more affordable for everybody, whether it is a young, single mom, a senior or someone who is going through that craziness of kids going to university and all of that. A great way to start that is to stop enforcing the carbon tax and allow Canadians to choose where they want to spend that money instead of putting it in the government's pocket.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, if I was to get 76¢ a day, unfortunately, it would all go to the carbon tax for my increased gasoline bills at the pump and my increased home heating bills.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, if the government really cared about the middle class, we would not have an enforced carbon tax in my home province of Saskatchewan. I believe the Prime Minister and the government should respect the plans that Premier Kenney in Alberta and Premier Moe in Saskatchewan already have for the environment.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for New Brunswick Southwest. Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate you on putting your name forward, going through the process and on your recent appointment. I also want to thank the voters of Battlefords—Lloydminster.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present three sets of petitions. The first set of petitions is signed by Canadians across the country who are gravely concerned with the shortage of quality palliative and end-of-life care available in Canada. These petitioners assert that it is impossible for a person to give informed consent to a physician-assisted suicide if appropriate palliative care has not been made available to them.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, the next set of petitions is signed by constituents of mine who are concerned with the efforts to restrict the rights of farmers to save and plant seeds from their crops. They are calling on the Government of Canada to affirm, through legislation, their right to freely save, reuse, select, exchange, condition, store and sell their seeds.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, the last petition I am presenting today is signed by constituents in my riding who are concerned about the accessibility of sexually explicit material to children. These petitioners are calling on the House of Commons to ensure that meaningful age verification is used on pornographic websites to better protect underage children from violent and explicit content.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, it is very unfortunate that the Liberal government has been governing for four years and it takes no responsibility or accountability for anything it has done. This is the first time in Canadian history that the Auditor General has said that he has not been given the resources to fully audit the Liberal government.
