Royal Canadian Air Force  Mr. Speaker, it is the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Today, I think of Warrant Officer Lloyd Joseph Stock, who joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1940 during World War II at the age of 29. He received his wings in Brandon, Manitoba, before going to serv

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as Conservatives, we reject the amendment.

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, the Oxford dictionary defines a fool as a person who acts unwisely or imprudently. It is ironic that the Prime Minister chose April Fool's Day to increase his carbon tax by a whopping 23%, increasing the misery that many Canadian families face. The tax is not a jok

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, that is just bloody foolish. She just does not—

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, the minister's response was just bloody foolish. She does not understand that if one taxes the farmer who grows the food and taxes the trucker who ships the food, then one taxes the people who buy the food. Already a typical family of four will have to pay $700 mor

Norman Kwong  Mr. Speaker, the late Norman Kwong of Calgary will again make history next week when he is celebrated with his own Heritage Minute. A 60-second snapshot of his life will be thrust onto TV screens from coast to coast, injecting culturally historic education into an entertainment s

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, a tax on a farmer is a tax on food. It is that simple. Canadians know that rising carbon taxes make everything more expensive, and they overwhelmingly know that after eight years the current NDP-Liberal government is not worth the cost. Conservatives know a carbon-

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, the current government just does not understand how badly Canadians are struggling, including in my city of Calgary. Statistics Canada recently reported that it costs more to afford basic goods and to live a moderate standard of living in Calgary than in any other

Health  Mr. Speaker, a couple of years ago, this House unanimously passed my private member's bill that allowed for the annual tax form to be used to ask a simple question on organ and tissue donation. Both Ontario and Nunavut opted to have this question included in their tax forms last

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I look at this bill, and there are a lot of big promises in it, but it is short on details. For one thing, the bill proposes to require airport operators to take measures to help Canada meet its international aeronautic obligations. What international obligations

Special Olympics Canada Winter Games  Mr. Speaker, the Olympics are back in Calgary. I was there for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, and I will be there in February for the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games. Qualified athletes from across Canada will compete in eight sports with inspiring enthusiasm. The athletes,

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, Canada's Supreme Court has verified what Conservatives have been saying for a long time, and that is that the Liberal government is out of line, out of step and out of touch when it comes to respecting provincial jurisdiction. Its reckless spending is only outdone b

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak to Bill C-314, an act that would amend the Criminal Code in regard to medical assistance in dying. This enactment would amend the Criminal Code to provide that a mental disorder is not a grievous and irremediable medical condition for which a

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, as Canadians plan their summer vacations, many are shocked with skyrocketing costs: motel prices, food prices and in particular gas prices. The Liberal carbon taxes will add a shocking 61¢ to a litre of gas, and do not forget the GST on top of that. Not all Canadians
