Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments by the member opposite with respect to his toeing the party lines and his government's lines, but he has failed to answer my colleague's question. Have the Liberals heard first-hand where the NEB has fallen down or fallen short? Who are they consulting with?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the government talks about its investments in green infrastructure, investments in getting Canadians back to work, and the loss of confidence that Canadians have had in the projects as we moved forward. I have been very vocal in saying that the government's plan to invest in transit does not create jobs in ridings such as my riding of Cariboo—Prince George, where the economy was built on the backs of forestry, mining and gas workers.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to speak quickly about confidence. Members opposite in the government talk a lot about the confidence Canadians have in their plans as we move forward. Industry has no confidence in the Liberal government. I and three of my colleagues attended one of the largest natural resource forums that I held in my riding of Cariboo—Prince George last week.

Federal Framework on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-211, An Act respecting a federal framework on post-traumatic stress disorder. Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce my private member's bill, seconded by the member for Barrie—Innisfil, who served as a firefighter for 33 years. This private member's bill would put in place a national framework on post-traumatic stress disorder for first responders, firefighters, military personnel, corrections officers, and members of police forces such as the RCMP.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it is great to be back in the House after a busy two weeks in my riding of Cariboo—Prince George. Today I have the honour of welcoming to the House two regional leaders: Sherry Ogasawara and Tracy Calogheros. While the Prime Minister was busy taking selfies with movie stars, I and three of my colleagues attended the B.C. premier's natural resource forum, one of the largest forums of its kind in Canada.

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-209, An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (high-profile offenders). Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce my private member's bill, seconded by the hon. member for Huron—Bruce. This private member's bill would amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to require Correctional Services Canada, in certain circumstances, to disclose details of the statutory release of a high-profile offender by posting them on its website and to provide written notice of the disclosure of the information to the victim.

National Appreciation Day Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-207, An Act to establish National Appreciation Day. Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce my private member's bill, seconded by the hon. member for Huron—Bruce. This bill would establish a national appreciation day, which would designate the third day of March in each and every year as a day for people in Canada to express their appreciation for those who run toward danger, when others run in the opposite direction, and for the work of members of our Canadian Forces and emergency response professionals, including police officers, firefighters, and paramedics.

Canada Evidence Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-208, An Act to amend the Canada Evidence Act (interpretation of numerical dates). Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce my private member's bill, seconded by the hon. member for Huron—Bruce. This bill would amend the Canada Evidence Act to direct courts on how to interpret a numerical date that is in dispute.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is all over the map when it comes to the energy sector. Sadly, it is not the western Canada map. Everything the government says contradicts its claims to be committed to a science-based policy and fair processes. In October, the Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board stated, “pipelines are not going to be necessary”, because of their policies.

Communities For Veterans  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to talk about an amazing organization in my riding. Communities For Veterans has a mission to bring our communities together by connecting our veterans with our communities. The face of our veterans has changed, and the challenges they face on their return home are complex.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I am a father of four, and I have been blessed with a beautiful wife and incredible family. Over my career, I have been fortunate to have had great roles in our community and in representing our region on the world stage. Yet, despite our success, I cannot run my family's finances off a credit card.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber agreement, which has safeguarded jobs and provided stability to both Canadian and U.S. producers, expired on October 12, 2015. Yet there was no mention of this in the mandate letter of the Minister of International Trade or in the Speech from the Throne.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the member for getting elected and thank her for her question. We believe agriculture is important. It is vital to our Canadian economy. As we said earlier, Canada is one of the largest producers and exporters of agri-foods. The Liberals have announced and moved forward with a tax cut for the middle class.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo for sharing her time with me today. First, I would like to thank my constituents of Cariboo—Prince George for putting their trust in me. I congratulate all of my hon. colleagues in the House. In addition, I congratulate you, Madam Speaker, on your nomination.
