Supporting New Parents Act  Madam Speaker, the member for Louis-Hébert stated that Bill C-394 would not help mothers or fathers who had a small business. I assume he believes this because they may not pay into EI. However, to clarify, while the government is extending parental leave, those same parents who

Wedding Anniversary  Mr. Speaker, today is a special day for me. It is my wedding anniversary. On this occasion, I would like to take an opportunity to honour my husband Adam. Adam truly understands what it takes to be a supportive partner. He is a great father and role model for our two children. T

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, my riding is unique. The city I live in straddles the border, so we are actually bi-provincial. We have a lot of interesting dynamics where I am. The thing to note is that Saskatchewan had a plan, and the current government refused to let Saskatchewan prove to Cana

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, in Battlefords—Lloydminster, we have a rural farming community. We are spread over about 100,000 square kilometres. All the farmers I talk to acknowledge that they are going to have to pay the carbon tax on getting fertilizer delivered. They are going to have to pay

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to speak to Bill C-74, the Liberal government's budget implementation bill. When we consider the contents of the bill and the Liberal government's track record, it reveals a troubling path ahead for Canadians. We have before us a budget

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I know we are hearing lots about carbon pricing, the carbon tax, and all this fun stuff. Where is the respect for provincial jurisdiction? I come from a province that has a climate change plan, and it is not being respected. The government is forcing a carbon tax o

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's irresponsible tweet started a flood of illegal border crossings. Over 25,000 people have responded to his open invitation. The Liberals have broken our immigration system. Downloading this problem onto our municipalities and backlogging legal im

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I know I am hearing a lot of conversation that the environment and the economy go hand in hand, that the government is doing this because it cares about the next generation. Therefore, my question is on fiscal accountability. It seems like the party across from us

Justice  Mr. Speaker, keeping Canadians safe should be the priority of every government and a serious crime should never be taken lightly, yet the Liberals are pushing ahead with legislation to reduce sentencing for serious crimes. Human trafficking is a despicable crime, with a devasta

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the question of privilege raised by the member for Langley—Aldergrove. I will add that on page 116 of Bosc and Gagnon, it says: Misleading a Minister or a Member has also been considered a form of obstruction and, thus, a prima facie breach of

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Mr. Speaker, the constituents of Battlefords—Lloydminster are very disappointed that the public safety minister, who is from Saskatchewan, is not standing up for them and for the people of Saskatchewan. They do not believe the government when it says that it is for the extraction

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Mr. Speaker, it is very important that we look at the bigger picture. Canada's economy relies heavily on the oil industry as a whole. Coming from an area in Canada that has many different types of development of oil and gas, it is important to have those proper consultations wit

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Mr. Speaker, I live right in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and Alberta. We are a very interesting city, because we are the only bi-provincial city in all of Canada. We rely on both provinces quite a lot. During the past couple of years, my city has lost 8,000 to 10,000 residents be

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Beauport—Limoilou. I stand in the House today to speak to Bill C-48, the oil tanker moratorium act, a bill that is yet another disappointment for all Canadians who want to see our country prosper. The Liberals may want

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to table a petition signed by constituents in Battlefords—Lloydminster who feel that their Canadian charter rights have been breached. The petitioners are calling upon the Prime Minister to withdraw the discriminatory attestation requirement from the Can
