Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, with regard to the CEBA loans, there are about 30 or 40 businesses in my riding right now that cannot get through the process. They have applied through their banks and now they cannot get a hold of anybody in the government to have them approved. This is a big probl

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I have a question for the Minister of Transport, for whom I have a lot of respect. The expenditure here is listed as $264.6 million for Via Rail. I was just wondering if the minister could give us an idea of what that would cover in this period of time.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, in addition to that, there is $312 million to CATSA. There are a number of little notes there. Can the minister provide a breakdown of what that would cover as well?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, there were announcements on March 11 and April 23 in regard to dollars allocated for research, such as $29 million to human health therapeutics. With all of those, does the Government of Canada own any of the proprietary rights that may come out of the research, a po

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, at this point in the whole process I, like others, am frustrated by this. It has been going on for a long time. The fact is that I have asked three questions and got zero answers. I think I asked them in a polite manner. My colleague from Ottawa asked the minister a

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, the situation is absolutely baffling. I have spent so much time on the phone in the last five or six weeks talking to farmers and other people, and they ask me why the government does not do more for them. They are not looking for a brand new pickup truck in their pa

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I would say once in a while Perth County will give Huron—Bruce a run for its money on farmland production. The agriculture minister toured my riding just before the election for an announcement. She toured the beef farm of a Liberal supporter. Farmers told her exact

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, the set-aside is good, because, as I said, if farmers are losing $70 a head, the worst thing they can feel is knowing they have to keep paying for something they will lose money on. Pork and beef farmers do not want to euthanize their animals. They want to see their

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to be here tonight. I just want to correct the record. The member for Brandon—Souris was incorrect in some of his comments at the beginning about his origins. Wingham is in the riding of Huron—Bruce, smack dab in it. Of course, Huron—Bruce county has

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, no offence to my colleague, but he should go back to the 2015 quotes when we agreed to the TPP. He should look at what the Canadian dairy farmers and the supply-managed sector said. They said this was the best deal they could come up with and that it set the sector u

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it is unprecedented, and here are a couple of numbers. In egg production, 1.6 million extra eggs are going to rise to 10 million extra eggs in six years, and it is 1% more on top of that per year for the next 10 years. When we think about that, they also have their W

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, the peanuts part was actually peanuts, but on sugar, I think of the food guide. I understand there is trade between Canada and the U.S. on sugar, but as for the food guide, some of the private members' bills in the last Parliament were about sugar and sugary drinks,

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House today to talk about this important trade deal. I will be sharing my time with the member for Red Deer—Lacombe. He is a good friend and I would not want him to miss out on an opportunity to give the Alberta interpretation of thi
