International Trade committee Earlier, you said that you import the majority of your supplies from the United States, because Canadian mills cannot keep pace with the demand. If the duties are implemented, there will be repercussions on all of your imports from July 1. You said yourself that you would check t

International Trade committee Thank you very much, Mr. Paschini. Mr. Wilson, you've highlighted a few recommendations for this committee to look at. Obviously, for point number one on the NAFTA renegotiation, are you getting a signal that we're not at the table?

International Trade committee No, I think the message has been clear. We're at the table. It just a matter of it taking two to dance, right?

International Trade committee Thank you, Mr. Neumann. Mr. White, you mentioned that you're collaborating with some of your U.S. counterparts on the other side of the border. Have you gotten some feedback? Do you feel they are being heard down south by some of the decision-makers there?

International Trade committee I'll go first, Mr. Chair. I want to thank everyone for being here. Mr. Neumann, I'd like to ask you a few questions. I do have an important facility, Ivaca Rolling Mills, in my riding, which has a lot of your members. Obviously this has been a great concern to them, and I've be

International Trade committee In your opening remarks you mentioned that tariffs must go toward where section 232 will hit them most. I'm wondering if you're working with your members and if your members are working with management of various steel facilities on how to identify that. I know some of them are p

Firearms Act Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed my colleague's speech, but there are some nuances we have heard on this side of the House, and one of them is that the bill has nothing to do with gangs and guns in our cities. I want to take him back to a moment in 2017, when the Minister of Public

Main Estimates, 2018-19 Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for her question on defence procurement, because the Conservative record is terrible. I remember a time when Conservatives cancelled defence procurement for MSVS, not three weeks before, not two weeks before, not one week before, but less

Main Estimates, 2018-19 Mr. Speaker, I do recall, in 2004, the first time the fixed wing search and rescue program was announced, and re-announced in 2008, to be later delayed, and to finally get a procurement going by 2015. Finally, our search and rescue technicians will have planes. This is coming fro

Main Estimates, 2018-19 Mr. Speaker, I am the member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell. Many members from Quebec stop in Casselman.

Main Estimates, 2018-19 Mr. Speaker, we have had a spirited debate in the House and in multiple committees on this year's main estimates. We have also had a spirited debate about the important reforms that our government has introduced as a two-year pilot to improve the transparency and accountability o

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of farmers back home, which is in Ontario. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Environment have heard them loud and clear. Should the Ford government decide to cancel carbon pricing, I can reassure them that the federal program on a price on carbon wi

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I can assure my colleague that our approach is well balanced. If we told the Albertans tomorrow morning that we were going to shut down all the oil plants, I do not think they would be happy. Telling a family they will be out of a job tomorrow morning does not work.
