Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, thank you for wishing me a happy birthday as I stand for the first time in the House in 2024. I know my hon. colleague and friend on the other side has spent many years of her life feeding Canadians, so on behalf of Canadians who enjoy potatoes, I would like

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, Canadian workers and the labour movement in Canada know they cannot trust Conservatives. They know that Conservatives have never had their backs and they are proud of this government, with our NDP colleagues, for producing Canada's first-ever replacement worker ban

Government Priorities   on counselling and psychotherapy services. We have introduced a dental care program for nine million uninsured Canadians who have had no access to existing dental coverage. We have introduced legislation to ban replacement workers to support unions and workers. We are the first country

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take the opportunity to, once again, say that Canada was the first nation ever to put a cap on oil and gas emissions at COP28. That comes in the exact same week as Canada was the first country ever to suggest that we were going to reduce our methane

Environment committee   of being here, as the member so eloquently put it, the minister announced that Canada was the first-ever country to commit to reducing our oil and gas emissions, with respect to methane, by 75%. That's a global first. Canada stood up. We took credit. We were given a lot of credit

Carbon Pricing  % reduction in methane emissions from oil and gas, as of today, we are the first oil and gas producing nation to put a cap on oil and gas emissions. On this side of the House, we have solutions, solutions for climate change and solutions for affordability. When will the Conservatives

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is clear the member opposite does not believe in climate change, but I wonder if he believes in math. A Calgary-based economist did a study on our carbon pricing program, and I will give him two quotes: first, “A clear majority of [Canadian] households do

Sport   that reflects and celebrates our Canadian values of equality, fairness and inclusion, a sport system that is safe for kids and all Canadians. I might just add on a personal note that one of the first times I came to the House of Commons in a work context was two years before I got elected

Environment committee   that it's also a priority for Ontario, but we have an asset and that asset is our conservation authorities. The science and the work that they do in tree planting and in habitat restoration are really extraordinary. We're entering into the holiday season and people are starting to put

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to speak on this very important issue. I first have to, unfortunately, correct the record on a couple of things. Back in 2015, Canada was trending to exceed 2005 emission levels by 10%, but by 2030, we will have effectively

Carbon Pricing  .” Alberta could and should take back control because of the opportunity that lies ahead with respect to renewable energies in that province. We know that the Premier of Alberta has put a moratorium on the approval of new renewable energy projects in Alberta, which is a shame because

Carbon Pricing  , they often also say that we have missed every target. However, the first target is in 2030, and we are on the path to reach that target. We need to move faster, in fact, to meet it. I know one thing for sure: If we stop pricing carbon, if we stop pricing pollution, if we do not put a cap

Climate Change   it needs repeating. We are not just in a climate emergency in Canada, but around the world. I can assure the House that the Government of Canada is taking this very seriously. As the member said, our government is the Canadian government that has done the most to advance our country
