Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Madam Speaker, this debate is nothing but a blatant attack on Alberta. My question for the transport minister is this. Transport Canada just commissioned a company to do a report to prove that the risk of oil spills in the Arctic was next to none in order for Canada to continue

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are pleased to present a supplementary report on a green government. While the OGGO report highlighted many failures of the Liberal government in greening government, the biggest oversight was that we did not, in this report, look at national defen

Access to Information Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent for highlighting many of the issues we have with Bill C-58, and a lot of the failings of the government when it comes to transparency. My colleague joined us recently on the operations committee, beati

Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about how important the bill is in relation to the 85 other important bills that the Liberals passed. I have to question him on that. A couple of years ago, we got stuck debating, day after day, Bill C-24. The only purpose of Bill C-24 was to ch

Privacy  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has repeatedly broken laws by sharing reporters' private information and their questions on the multi-billion dollar Irving shipbuilding project. Now the government has refused to release a 200-page access to information request on the Liberals

Air Cadets  Mr. Speaker, this Saturday, I had the honour to attend the 60th annual ceremonial review of the 699 Jasper Place Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, fondly known as the pink panther squadron. Where did the name come from? The cadets used to have white surplus RCAF flight suits. So

Energy Costs  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak on Motion No. 230. I would like to thank my colleague, the member for Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup, for the motion. I know my colleague is a very committed to his constituents. On this side of the House, he is famous for his annu

Energy Costs  I have not lived in Winnipeg, though my family is from Winnipeg. I have lived in Huntsville, Scarborough and Lake Louise and I have seen the effects of winter. As I said, heating our homes is a necessity and not a luxury. I will note that in Edmonton, not this winter but the win

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  That is an amusing story, Mr. Speaker. Perhaps, once it is printed in Hansard, we could put it in the fictionary of Chapters. Data shows that the average middle-class Canadian spends about $800 to $2,000 a year more. I want to get back to spending priorities. The government ha

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Vancouver Island brings up a great point, and I agree that the government has misdirected priorities. We have put in an Order Paper question on this. We have repeatedly heard the Minister of National Revenue say that the Liberals have hired so man

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise again to speak on the budget. I am not going to talk about the government's betrayal of Canadians with its promise to balance the budget this year. In March alone, we saw a $15-billion deficit. I am not going to talk about how there is next to

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, obviously everyone in the House and all Canadians want all Canadians to be living in safe and secure housing. I have some questions on some of the finance issues. The minister commented that the Liberals have invested $10 billion in housing so far, and $55 billion o

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order arising from question period. The Minister of Environment and Climate Change had commented on the growth in foreign direct investment. I would like to table a report from the OECD, which shows that under the government, it has been negative

Privacy  Mr. Speaker, not two weeks ago, at the committee of the whole, the Minister of National Defence stated that journalists' questions to the government would never again be farmed out to private corporations like Irving, which promptly and repeatedly threaten to sue the journalist.

Criminal Records Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague is probably the only person other than me who actually reads departmental plans. I am pretty sure that the Minister of Public Safety does not read them. The member commented on the lack of resources put forward for this. The minister figures that abou
