Indigenous Services  Madam Chair, I want to thank the hon. colleague for his impressive speech on this.

Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo for seconding my bill today. I am honoured to rise to introduce the bringing home justice for vict

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the member can say whatever she wants, but when the minister is phoning his Liberal-appointed senators and instructing them to gut the bill, it is pretty hard to believe the Liberals. Common-sense Conservatives would axe the tax, removing the tax from Canadian farmer

Health of Animals Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to request a recorded division.
