The Province of Saskatchewan has come forward, so there must be some kind of an agreement in place. This money is cash flow they need to move forward. We are in October. We are t

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to follow up on a question I raised in the House on September 29.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, the member for Cloverdale—Langley City indicated that he stands behind the people of Atlantic Canada.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, in no way could the question I just asked the member be interpreted as to say that I do not support climate change and the need for Canadians to—

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, for too many, Thanksgiving is a painful reminder of the difficult times they are facing after eight years under this NDP-Liberal government. Let us take a trip around the Thanksgiving table: potatoes are up 77%; carrots are up 74% percent; cabbage is up 70%; turkey
