Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate it when the member for Edmonton Strathcona continues to campaign for a provincial MLA seat on an issue that is a provincial issue.

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, Canadian companies are losing contracts around the world because the Liberals have failed to address the shipping container crisis, which worsens every single day. Agricultural products and manufactured goods are bottlenecked at ports in Vancouver and Montreal. The

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, this has nothing to do with climate change or global shipping lanes. The United States have resolved this crisis, and shipping lanes are now moving to the United States from Canada. I suppose the Prime Minister also thinks the ban on P.E.I. potatoes is a result of s

B.C. Farmers  Mr. Speaker, I thank the constituents of Foothills for once again showing their trust and confidence in me to be their member of Parliament and their voice in Ottawa. It is an honour. It is these same constituents who faced the BSE crisis and the 2013 flood. The road to recovery

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, obviously the Prime Minister has no idea what I was talking about, but maybe he should ask his members of Parliament from Prince Edward Island, who have not said a single word about this decision.

Chester A. Reynolds Award  Mr. Speaker, he is a wrangler, a rancher, a businessman, but, most important, John Scott is a proud Albertan. Longview's John Scott will be the first Canadian ever to be awarded the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum's prestigious Chester A. Reynolds Award. This awar

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government's trade relations with the United States are in shambles. There is no softwood lumber agreement. The Canadian dairy sector is under attack under the new NAFTA. Keystone has been cancelled. Line 5 is now in jeopardy. Now the Biden administration

Anti-Semitism  Mr. Speaker, incidents of anti-Semitism are on the rise in Canada and the incidents speak for themselves. The annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents showed that for the fifth straight year Canada had set a record in 2020 with 2,600 incidents, an increase of more than 18%. Anothe

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself”. That is a pillar of true leadership.
