Health Madam Speaker, I always appreciate being in the House with the parliamentary secretary and hearing his response to what I may say, which might be slightly different from what he might have expected. I will talk again about the irrigation districts, the lack of pipes, the cost of

Health Madam Speaker, it is great to be in the House tonight and dealing with this topic. I am glad to see the parliamentary secretary for health, and since I have asked a question about health, we will start with a bit about health. There was the warning label on ground beef and pork.

Health Mr. Speaker, many of my constituents are aghast and angry that Health Canada chose to attack healthy, nutritious protein- and iron-rich food products such as ground beef and pork with a warning label. An added labelling cost to the industry will be passed down to consumers, but H

Health Mr. Speaker, the utterly nonsensical proposal for front-of-package labelling on ground beef and pork is another attack on our agriculture industry. Canada would be the first country to do this, despite already exempting other single-ingredient whole food products like dairy. Bure

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Mr. Chair, one of the things we talk about here is education. We are doing a lot of work and a lot of discussion here.

Fisheries and Oceans Madam Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. The member from B.C. is misleading the House, as that is not what this button says. It says, in symbols, “I love Canada”.

Small Business Madam Speaker, agricultural business is small business, and I think I outlined why, as producers, they cannot recover those costs. I want to shift slightly to another one. The federal and provincial governments announced a $900,000 grant to do with hemp. Hemp is an incredible ag
