Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, last year, the NDP voted against our common-sense Conservative motion to scrap the carbon tax on home heating. The Liberals have admitted that these taxes are not worth the cost after they exempted Atlantic Canada, but, once again, they left Albertans out in the cold

Talk about an insulting answer to a serious question. The reason there is no RCMP investigation and that no criminal charges have b

Royal Canadian Mounted Police  Madam Speaker, I rise to pose a follow-up question to a question I had asked in question period: What does the Prime Minister have to hide?

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the NDP-Liberal government will stop at nothing to cover up its corruption. Yesterday, in a brazen effort to shield the Prime Minister, Liberal and NDP MPs voted to shut down committee to block the RCMP commissioner from answering questions about t

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by Canadians, calling on the government to use all tools at its disposal, including invoking the notwithstanding clause, to override the Supreme Court's unjust Bissonnette decision. This struck down a law passed by the previous Con

Why have other stakeholders, such as the Chamber of Shipping and the Associati

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my friend from Laurentides—Labelle, who I have a lot of respect for.

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member for Berthier—Maskinongé's speaking about addressing some of the problems and failures that resulted in the tragedy at Lac-Mégantic.
