Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, with more Canadians using food banks than ever before and many on the brink of financial ruin, the next election cannot come soon enough, yet this Prime Minister has insisted on pushing policies that Canadians know are wacko. Handing out needles to prisoners while

Food and Drugs Act  Madam Speaker, I would say the member is exactly right. If there are any problems, and I actually do not think there are any, the negotiations that came out of Bill C-51, the consultation with the industry back at that time in 2014, left our industry in a very good sweet spot, wh

Food and Drugs Act  Madam Speaker, notwithstanding the backhanded compliments he gave me in the preamble to his question, I will say that I have used quite a few of these things. My wife uses these products. I use L-lysine to help with cold sores. I take a pack of electrolytes every morning to make

Food and Drugs Act  Madam Speaker, my friend and colleague from Peterborough—Kawartha is exactly right. Generally speaking, when we see something being changed in a manner like this, we ask, “Who benefits?” Who benefits from this? Health Canada would actually have the ability to charge whatever fe

Food and Drugs Act  moved that Bill C-368, An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (natural health products), be read the second time and referred to a committee. Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House today and talk about the changes that have been made to Canada's natural health pro

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberal government, Canadians are struggling to make ends meet. This year, Canadians will spend over $46 billion to service the Prime Minister's debt, but the Prime Minister's costly coalition does not stop there. On April 1, the NDP-Liber

Government Business No. 35—Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, I just want to remind members of this House, many of whom, including the member for Courtenay—Alberni, were not here when I first learned about all-night voting. That was back when Stephen Harper was the prime minister and the NDP moved hundreds, if not thousands, of

Jack Donald  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honour the life of my dear friend Jack Donald. In 1964, Jack moved his family to Red Deer, where they opened a service station business called Parkland Oil Products Ltd. Through the years, Jack and his wife Joan grew that service station into Canada'

Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, common-sense Conservatives will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. After eight years, the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister is not worth the cost, corruption, cover-ups or crime. Only the Prime Minister can turn an $80,000 app budget into a $6

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I am encouraged by my colleague across the way's position on this particular issue and his knowledge as a medical practitioner, but for goodness' sake, it was a year ago we were dealing with this issue. The government controls the agenda; he is a member of the gove

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Cariboo—Prince George for his excellent work in bringing the 988 number, which is now finally implemented and seeing great use. I want to thank my colleague for always being a passionate advocate, not only for his constituents, and

Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this NDP-Liberal government, Canadians are struggling to make ends meet, yet somehow the Prime Minister found over $60 million for his arrive scam app. With inflation eating away at earnings and with families having to cut back on gas, heat and g

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, absolutely. My colleague for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman is exactly right. He knows very well how things work from the farm gate right to the grocery store. It is really sad to see what is transpiring in this place with the accusations from the government about sup

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, obviously the issue that my colleague brought up is a difficult one, and I send my support and sympathies as well. I thank him for the question. It is really quite simple. The carbon tax is a tax on everything, because energy is what we use to do everything we

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, what an ironic situation to be standing in the House talking about concurrence in a committee report dealing with strengthening food processing capacity after we just spent an hour of private members' business talking about a Liberal private member's bill that is g
