Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, indeed, I sat on the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and listened to testimony from some of our indigenous folks who did raise these concerns and do need to be consulted. That would be a great idea. We know that especially rural and remote places an

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I share the member's concern. Because it is not defined what exactly the electoral officer could do, for health and safety reasons, theoretically they could have the power to do anything at all. That is not good because, definitely as has been pointed out, there are

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, that was one of the things that was written down on my paper that I did not quite get to. This is very important. The signatures are supposed to indicate that there are enough people in the riding who want the person to present themselves as a candidate. That could

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to clarify that we are not at all afraid of having an election, in fact, we look forward to the opportunity to get a strong Conservative majority in this country. However, Canadians need to be listened to and they have been clear that they do not want an elect

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to be here and to recap the brilliant first 13 minutes of my speech in the last six minutes that I have. First of all, with respect to an election in a pandemic, the most important point is that Canadians do not want an election in a pandemic. The m

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I would say, as a scientist, that net-zero is exactly that. It is net emissions. Regardless of the source, there are emissions that are man-made and emissions that are not man-made. That is all the emissions. Then, in the same light, there are absorptions. Net-zero r

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, we have been clear that the punishing Liberal carbon tax does zero to reduce emissions in the atmosphere. It just puts money in the government coffers. Our plan is going to put the money back in the pockets of Canadians, so all together, we can participate in helping

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague is always passionate about this file. It is very sad that the government, with a whole department of climate experts, does not have a plan. It has had six years in government, running on an agenda to do something to address climate change, and it has f

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to speak to Bill C-12. We have had quite a lively debate today. If we talk about this net zero by 2050 target and we look at the bill to see what it would actually do, we see it is a typical smoke-and-mirrors Liberal bill that does not have any subs

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I do not see anything in Bill C-12 that is concrete action to advance us toward the targets. I know the Liberals are not on track to meet even the 2030 targets. Could the member tell me what in the bill is evidence of a plan that would actually meet net zero by 2050?

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her speech. Bill C-12 would do nothing more than create a committee and make recommendations to the government for coming up with a plan. In other words, the Liberals currently do not have a plan. What does the member think about that?

Bill C-10  Mr. Speaker, like all of the Liberals' policies, Bill C-10 is a poorly thought-out piece of legislation that will have a tidal wave of consequences for everyday Canadians, first and foremost curtailing their freedom of speech online. This is unacceptable. The Liberals have remo

National Framework for Diabetes Act  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise and speak to Bill C-237, the national framework for diabetes act. I would like to thank the member for Brampton South for bringing it forward and for all her advocacy. From the time we were both elected in 2015, I have participated alongsi

National Framework for Diabetes Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Brampton South for all of her advocacy on diabetes all these years and for a great speech today. Beyond the national framework that is definitely needed, there are other things the government could do. The member mentioned a 36

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the deadline for amicus briefs in support for Line 5 is May 11, which is less than two weeks away. A unanimous report from the Canada-U.S. parliamentary committee as well as the natural resources minister has indicated that they will send a brief to support the 25,00
