Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to thank the member for his service to our country. That is something the Liberal government has failed to do in its actions. I am glad he highlighted there are so many groups. He mentioned one in his riding, but there are so many groups across t

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I move that the first report of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, presented to the House on Tuesday, March 1, be concurred in.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, people in my part of Alberta were just hit with five inches of snow, and more is on the way. Winter is coming, and Canadians will need to heat their homes to keep out of the cold. Why is the Prime Minister taxing home heating fuel like it is some kind of luxury? Has

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the member made a great point. There is no doubt that the spending the government has undertaken has led to more difficulties and more pain for Canadians with the inflation we have seen as a result of some of its actions. Canadians deserve a government that will co

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the member wants to know what the difference is between the Liberals and the Conservatives. I can tell him that very clearly.

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would first point out that the member certainly misunderstood or misconstrued my comments. I understand that. He is simply trying to justify the fact that the NDP are trying to prop up a government that does not deserve to be propped up. He has to try to justify

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I used to serve as a volunteer firefighter in my community. However, one does not need to be a firefighter to know that one cannot put out a fire by pouring more gas on it. That is exactly what the Liberals have done. They have created the worst cost of living crisi

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, Winston Churchill once said that trying to tax your nation into prosperity is like trying to stand in a bucket and pull yourself up by the handle. If the Prime Minister is being honest, he would admit that the carbon tax is just that, a tax that does nothing for the

Adopt-a-Grad Foundation of Canada  Mr. Speaker, I stand to recognize Mike and Lori Reist, the co-founders of Adopt-a-Grad Foundation of Canada.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the apple does not fall far from the tree. The last time inflation was this high, the Prime Minister’s father was in office. A recent Ipsos poll reveals that 72% of Canadian families with kids are worried about putting food on the table, and Food Banks Canada is al

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, the member raises her concern about the different pay she claims for actors from Canada or from the States or whatever it might be.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I think this a good question and a good point that the member raises. I know that this is something I hear frequently from many people.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, the member suggested I am seeing things that are not there. I think he is actually right. There are some things I am seeing that are not there.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I think the member was referencing an example I used of a film about the hockey team the Toronto Maple Leafs. I do not know what his objection is to a Canadian hockey team being in a film. Maybe if it was the Montreal Canadiens he would be more open to it. I do not k
