Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague from Regina—Lewvan makes a lot of common sense. He is exactly right. The red tape that would come in as a result of Bill C-49 is driving investment out of our offshore petroleum industry already. It was proven last year in the number of bids that were

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from la belle province. He is a great guy. There were thousands of manufacturing jobs in Quebec that were shipping out components. The buses that used to bring people from Fort McMurray out to the oil sands were all produced in Quebec, pr

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague from Kings—Hants and his costly coalition have quite the track record of destroying the offshore oil and gas industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. With Bill C-49, they will continue right down that path. This morning, I heard the member for St.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from the Bloc for voting for my bill, Bill C-251, to bring in a pinniped management solution, which the NDP-Liberals all voted against. I feel sorry for the Bloc members, with all the work they put into their amendments just for them to b

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague from the NDP misunderstood the context. The fishing industry and the offshore petroleum industry are competing for the same space in the ocean. It just so happens that fish like to hang out on the shoals and that is where wind power usually gets built.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, let us be clear, common-sense Conservatives stand with the fishing industry and with the offshore petroleum industry, as well as with those workers and those families, and those industries that rely on the spinoffs from those powerful Atlantic Canada industries. S

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, the Atlantic accord has delivered powerful things to Newfoundland and Labrador and to Nova Scotia. I heard the member for Kings—Hants reference the late prime minister Brian Mulroney, who said that he was not afraid to inflict prosperity upon Newfoundlanders. The N

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I listened intently to the member for Kings—Hants as he gave his speech about Bill C-49 and why Liberals think it is the be-all and end-all for Atlantic Canada. The member mentioned a regulator. Max Ruelokke, with over 40 years in energy regulation in Atlantic Can

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my hon. colleague across the way if he will support the Conservative amendments, given that we consulted with the likes of Mr. Max Ruelokke, who I am sure the member is well aware of, with over 40 years' experience in the management of offshore petroleum

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, I seek unanimous consent that, notwithstanding any standing order, special order, or usual practices of the House, the vote of the member for Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame on division No. 684 from Wednesday, April 10, should be changed from nay to yea.

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, I listened to my hon. colleague across the way from Newfoundland and Labrador who was once the minister of natural resources. Since 2015, we have already had 5,000 jobs transition out of our offshore oil and gas industry under that minister's watch. Studies show that

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I request unanimous consent to change my vote on our opposition day motion from nay to yea.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we need to have good, constructive conversation. The premiers want to have that conversation. They know that the opportunity lies there for all of them to take part in an initiative to lower global emissions. Premier Higgs just gave great testimony, talking about h

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will start with the member's last question. We do not need to incentivize natural gas. Free enterprise can invest in LNG, build pipelines and send LNG to countries in the world that are burning coal, in order to get their emissions down really fast, to half of wh

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am not here to talk about the Premier of Alberta; I am here to represent the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. The people of Newfoundland and Labrador know that we have 13 trillion cubic feet of natural gas lying under the Grand Banks and under the Labrador Se
