Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, since the government took office in 2015, gang-related homicides have increased by 92%. The Liberals reduced sentencing requirements for serious gun crimes and now violent crime is up 32%. The Liberals will not admit their soft-on-crime approach is failing all Canadi

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, Kay is 71 years old. She lives in a seniors' lodge, and the lodge just raised her rent because of inflation. Her OAS and GIS are now $100 short of what her monthly rent is. She has moved up several flights of stairs just to save $300 a month, but that deal is going t

Craft Brewing in Alberta  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to stand in the House today to celebrate the recent achievements of Blindman Brewing, located in my hometown of Lacombe. Blindman was named the best brewery of the year in Alberta and recognized best in show for its Brett 24-2 stock ale at the A

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, we know that this Prime Minister is out of touch. Recent records show that he spent $12,000 in a single month for groceries, so how could he possibly know what ordinary Canadians are facing? With taxes up and consumer confidence down, Canadians know that making end

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, another quote that I would like to leave with this House comes from Winston Churchill. He said, “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy”, and that its inherent virtue is “the equal sharing of misery.” Canadians do not

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my colleague across the way who asked that question that Conservatives have always been environmental stewards. Former prime minister Brian Mulroney is one of the greatest environmental stewards we have ever had sitting in the Prime Minister's

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, that is spoken like a member of Parliament from an area that does not have energy workers in it. I represent a part of the country that actually has a large number, or at least used to have a large number, of energy workers. I know, for example, that the GDP alone of

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, my next-door neighbour back home is a dentist, and he noticed a sharp decline in his business shortly after the Liberal government took office, because nobody had the money they used to have in their pockets because of the policies of the government. That is the whol

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  —because Liberals actually do not care about Canadians who do not vote for them. That is the issue. I would be happy to bring in all of my friends who happen to be dentists to talk about the decline in business once the oil and gas sector workers no longer had any disposable inc

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her eloquent speech and articulate thoughts in the House this morning. She is exactly right. The government is proposing to be the solution, but it is actually the problem. The problem can never be the solution. We are witnessing, co

Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II  Mr. Speaker, it is truly a privilege to stand here today in commemoration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on behalf of the residents of Red Deer—Lacombe. There are things that we always say to folks, such as wishing them a successful life and a long life. Rarely do we see peo

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, Conservatives agree to apply the vote and will be voting against the motion.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, Conservatives agree to apply and will be voting in favour of the motion.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, this is an excellent idea and worthy of debate in the House. I look forward to my colleague in the Bloc Québécois tabling a private member's bill, or somebody in the House tabling a bill, to establish just such a thing. As I said in my comments, I am checked as a la

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I represent constituents who also participate in airsoft activities. It is a small but important industry to those who take great enjoyment in it and have fun with it. It is great for exercise and a number of reasons. The fact that the Liberal government is actually
