Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the observations by my colleague in regard to the Ottawa-knows-best approach that the government tends to take. I agree with him that we see more of the same in this bill. I know that the final report of the national supply chain task force called for u

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity to listen in on the debate on this bill. I would suggest that another hallmark is that the current government is well known for appointing its friends and Liberal supporters, not only to benefit itself when it comes to decisions made by decision

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to rise and speak to Bill C-33, an act to amend the Customs Act, the Railway Safety Act, the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992, the Marine Transportation Security Act, the Canada Transportation Act and the Canada Marine Act

Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, let me tell the House about the Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. Many know him as the common-sense leader our country needs. His schoolteacher parents know him as the boy they adopted and raised in their modest home in the suburbs of Calgary. His dad knows

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, there are a number of things that we might decide not to spend Canadian taxpayers' money on. Let us talk about the carbon tax. We would cut the carbon tax. We would stop paying high-priced consultants. We would not allow the Prime Minister to consider exorbitant

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I believe that at every step of the way, Conservatives have been providing solutions to this place and to the current government. The fact of the matter is that after eight years under the Liberal government, Canadians are struggling. We are hearing from our cons

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, as the official opposition, we have been very clear about what Conservatives would do. The priorities of the Conservative plan are to make Canada work for the people who work. We want to see powerful paycheques with lower taxes so that hard work pays off again. We

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I rise in this place today to speak to the opposition motion put forward by the Conservatives to address the cost of living crisis facing Canadians. This is a crisis that the government has done nothing to fix. In fact, it is the Liberals' inflationary policies tha

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I think this is obviously a result of the partnership between the NDP and the Liberals. The NDP seeks to support the Liberals in whatever the government presents. It is actually almost comical that the NDP is trying to make it harder for working Canadians to access

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, in my speech I outlined a number of concerns that we have with this bill. I hope that the hon. member was listening to it. Conservatives are not saying that addressing the issue that the bill is trying to address is completely without merit, but rather that this

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, the answer is quite simple: This bill will not do that. Although there are a few small publications that will benefit from Bill C-18, the vast majority of local and ethnic media will not. During the study of this bill at committee, Steve Nixon, the executive direc

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member's observations about the CBC and small media outlets, as well as about Google and Facebook. The bottom line here is that the CBC does not need any additional support from Canadians, contrary to what some members might believe. It alrea

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in this place to speak to Bill C-18, An Act respecting online communications platforms that make news content available to persons in Canada, which has been returned to the House by the Senate with amendments. Before I begin my speech, I

Finance  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, this Prime Minister is out of touch and Canadians are out of money. The Liberals' out-of-control spending has caused inflation to reach record levels. That is not all that is reaching record levels: More Canadians are using food banks than ever b

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the COVID-19 vaccine doses procured by the government: (a) how many doses purchased are known to have (i) been lost or stolen, (ii) expired, broken down by manufacturer; and (b) what are the details of each instance where doses were lost or stolen, including, for e
