Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, congratulations on your election. As I rise in the House for the first time, I express my gratitude to the constituents of Yellowhead for placing their trust and confidence in me to be their representative in Ottawa. To build unity across this country, we must su

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, premiers are united behind promoting our natural resources in a responsible manner. The export of more liquefied natural gas by Canadian producers will lower global emissions and create good, high-paying jobs. With 71,200 jobs lost last month, this could not come at

Resumption of debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, this is my maiden speech, which is going to be cut incredibly short. The Speech from the Throne is informative not because it outlines what exactly the government is going to do, but because it shows us where its priorities lie. Equally notable are t

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to split my time with the member for Mégantic—L'Érable. I want to make it clear that we Conservatives are strongly in favour of free trade. The removal of barriers to trade results in lower costs for consumers and expanded production for our exporters

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, that is the question at hand. We are here tonight to get some answers to some of the questions I have brought forward. Everyone knows that we understand it is an important agreement and that we have had free trade with the United States for many years. This is wh

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I will try to address as much as I possibly can. You are right; I am a new member—

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, there are several aspects to this; that is correct.

It is one challenge I have with the

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I believe everyone is trying to get through this process as quickly as possible because of the uncertainty that has been going on for so many months already. I know that the election interfered with the process somewhat, but it has still taken quite a lot of time.

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, since the Liberals were first elected over $100 billion in energy projects has been lost, thousands of jobs are gone and national unity is damaged. The failure to approve the Teck mine would make this problem even worse. Canada's environmental assessment agency rec

Rail Transportation  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's weakness is costing Canada's economy once again. People in Alberta and across the country have lost all faith in the government's willingness to end the illegal blockades. The pressures facing families and communities are leaving some Canadians

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, a very interesting point that we have been talking about today is reconciliation, and more so the symbolism that we have been seeing today. The symbolism that is being talked about is what I am more concerned about. In the reconciliation report there is just a chan

Emergency Debate  Madam Speaker, I keep hearing everyone talk about how oil and gas prices are not going down. Could someone please explain to me why consumption keeps going up? That is my biggest concern. The next thing that I have to be concerned about is that all these oil and gas projects are

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, I was raised on a farm where I learned the value of money and the importance of financial planning. With every budget the Liberals put out, they continue to add billions of dollars to our national debt. This is not budgeting, this is reckless spending. There are now
