Privilege  Madam Speaker, this is not about being one with the government. The Liberals have been in power for many years now. To me, it seems unacceptable that the Minister of Public Safety, who has been in cabinet for many years, would not be able to have a proper relationship with all th

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Mr. Speaker, I would request a recorded vote.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Mr. Speaker, I first want to thank the agriculture critic, the member of Parliament for Foothills, for his great work on this bill. Although I think this is a better bill, the member for Northumberland—Peterborough South had a similar bill in the previous Parliament, and I want t

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, that is a good point. I believe that is why we were quite open to having a sunset clause or a review clause after, I believe, eight years amended into the bill. That is good. There could be things that happen that make it practical, make it financially viable so, y

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, it is a good point because, basically, we are just moving sentences around in the actual act itself. If we think about what the member said, he is right. Diesel fuel is in there as an exemption. Gasoline is in there as an exemption on farm, in the recognition that

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, one of the best decisions this member has made was seeing the clock to private members' time today so I have to give him credit for that. In regard to Bill C-8, the bill he is talking about, almost half of my speech talked about the critiques that were in that and

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  moved that the bill, as amended, be concurred in.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Mr. Speaker, I request that the motion be carried on division. (Motion agreed to)

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  moved that the bill be read the third time and passed. Mr. Speaker, it has been nice to see you up in the chair today, so congratulations on the good job you are doing up there. I look forward to hearing the member for Regina—Lewvan in his speech later today. It will be intere

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, gradually and then suddenly, from 2015 to now, the Liberals have added $800 billion in debt. They nearly doubled the debt. What was the inflation rate in October 2015? It was 1%. What was it earlier this year? It was over 8%. Now they have tripled the carbon tax on

Bill Dowson and Bob McKinley  Madam Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to offer tribute to two men from Huron County who left us recently. Bill Dowson passed on November 9. He spent over 30 years in public service, first in Stanley Township and then as the first mayor of the Municipality of Bluewater an

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the development of applications for smartphones by the government or for the government, since January 1, 2017: (a) what amount has been spent developing applications; (b) what is the list of applications developed; and (c) for each application developed, what are

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I will say one thing about that member, which is that I cannot compete with him in haircuts. He has a great haircut. I have nothing to compete against this guy on that. Years ago, when we balanced the budget the last time after the last economic crisis, we had a ver

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, no. One will find, on the record, that at the time Parliament gave unprecedented support to the government to do what was best for Canadians so they could keep their homes and not go into a financial crisis. Once we got to a certain point, there was $200 billion in e

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, sometimes things change; sometimes things do not change. I met Jim many times and he is a nice fellow. If we read what he wrote many years ago, in some cases 50 years ago, he talks about too much money chasing too few goods. Anybody can pick up something, read it and
