Finance committee   firepower, and says that if you want to take a less risky approach, we can maybe go after more medium-sized and smaller players. I think there's a chilling effect.

Carbon Pricing   that are truly being faced by regular Canadians. It is time for change. It is time for a fresh outlook. It is time to put control back in the hands of Canadians.

Science and Research committee  Chair, I would say to all members, next week go and knock on a hundred doors. Go listen to regular Canadians and hear first-hand how this policy is devastating Canada. The motion here today is based upon a reliable news story that shows how our students are suffering

Government Operations committee  Mr. Anthony, if I were a regular Canadian and millions of dollars were deposited into my account, I would be able to tell you if it was two, four or eight million dollars, for example.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the price on pollution is simple: Activities that cause pollution cost a bit more. However, most Canadians get more money back than what they pay, with cheques being sent to Canadians every few months. Big industry pays more than the regular Canadian pays because

Industry committee  Well, with regard to our experience in the whole situation, I think it's frankly embarrassing. The whole whistle-blowing process basically proves to us that there's a two-tier system that exists. If you are a normal, regular Canadian citizen and you go to your government

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, never in our history has Canada been so short on housing, has rent been higher or has it been more expensive to buy a house.

Committees of the House   are on the inside of that and making a good living. Regular Canadians have seen what has happened to the economy as a result of the government's actions, which have ruined the economy.
