Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague that we do need to have regional fairness in Canada. That is one of the tenets of federalism that we have to realize. However, my colleague from British Columbia should know very well that anything to do with carbon pricing in the provinc

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Kingston and the Islands for showing some of the hypocritical stances that people who used to sit in legislatures and now sit in the House of Commons have. One thing I have noticed over the last number of years during this 44th

Health of Animals Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to give some thoughts on Bill C-275, which was introduced by my colleague on the agricultural committee, the member for Foothills. I was happy to support this bill at second reading, but that support was always conditional on certain amend

Health of Animals Act  Mr. Speaker, I do believe that the intent of this bill is a noble one, but I believe that it falters in its execution. During the committee stage of the bill, we had a chance to ask questions of the CFIA senior legal counsel, Mr. Joseph Melaschenko. On two occasions, he identifie

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is truly remarkable to watch Liberals and Conservatives argue over housing. It is like watching two arsonists argue about who burned the house down. The Conservatives want us to magically think that these problems all started in 2015; in fact, what we are seeing t

Health  Mr. Speaker, over 165,000 Canadians suffer from traumatic brain injuries every year. Brain injury patients are often shoved into expensive private care or left to fend for themselves. Decades of Liberal and Conservative governments have failed to support the more than 1.5 million

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, this legislation was tabled in the House last week on October 17. I am hoping the member can enlighten me, because the government's own policy requires that before the tabling of legislation, 21 sitting days have to expire so that members of Parliament can take a loo

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I like how my colleague touched on the fact that when this type of legislation and these types of agreements come before the House, it is necessary for us, as parliamentarians, to do wide consultation with stakeholders. I have been a member of the Standing Committee

Amendments to the Standing Orders  Mr. Speaker, I do believe I heard the member for Winnipeg North debate this motion just 20 or 30 minutes ago. I am just wondering whether the Table could check on that, and I am wondering how this is proceeding at this point.

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, I have been a member of Parliament for eight years. I have listened to a lot of speeches in this place. Rarely have I seen as many points of order during one speech as what I just witnessed. I think that demonstrates just how thin-skinned the Conservatives are on thi

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, they are heckling right now. They continue to show how thin-skinned they are. My honourable friend was talking about oil and gas profits. He made a point about all the wealth companies are generating and asked what they are doing with it. They are not investing in w

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, like the member opposite, I, too, want to recognize how much natural resources have contributed to Canada's wealth. Canada's oil and gas companies, right now, are making out like bandits. They have never seen profits so high, but what are they doing with that wealth

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I enjoy serving with my colleague on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. I would agree with her that the Conservatives have concocted a false narrative about the real causes of inflation. They are willfully ignoring what all of the evidence can show

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the problem I have with the motion that is being brought forward by the Conservatives today is that it ignores the real cause of inflation in Canada. We only need to look at publicly available figures to see that in the last three years, in whatever corporate sector

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' out-of-touch plan of nicely asking rich grocery CEOs to lower prices has not worked. Wishing and hoping that rich CEOs will do the right thing will not help families put food on the table. Grocery prices are still going up after 22 months. Canadians exp
