Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, today, in both official languages, the ninth report of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, in relation to Bill S-6, an act to amend the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act and the Nuna

Legion of Honour  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Peter Poohkey of Airdrie, Alberta, on receiving the French Légion d'honneur. The Légion d'honneur is France's highest honour, and it is being awarded to all living Canadian veterans of the second world war who participated in the D-

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Canadians simply cannot understand why the worst of the worst violent offenders would ever be let out of prison. Thankfully, our government is listening. This is in sharp contrast to the opposition parties that promote and support policies like the Liberals' faint ho

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to follow up on some erroneous comments made earlier by the NDP. In fact, Canada is a world leader with our chemicals management plan. It is certainly something that has made us a world leader in assessing our legacy chemicals. Our work with the chemical

Justice  Mr. Speaker, we believe the Canadian justice system exists to protect Canadians and their communities and not to coddle violent criminals. Yesterday, as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping Canada's streets and communities safe and to bringing the rights of victims back to

Pipeline Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, I am left with two thoughts after listening to the member's question. Here is the first. I have listened to him today throughout the debate, both to his questions and his comments. I suppose it is typically Liberal, so I should not be surprised, but there is such in

Pipeline Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, although I thank the member for the question, I have to say that the assertions I just heard the member make are completely false. I know that the NDP is a party that does not understand the importance of ensuring, in what we are doing in terms of responsible resourc

Pipeline Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, I will first say that I will be sharing my time with my neighbouring colleague, my good friend from Macleod. It is a pleasure to rise today in support of our government's pipeline safety act. As all hon. members know, Canada's natural resource industries play a vita

Pipeline Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, when our government has made changes in the past regarding pipeline safety systems, members in the opposition have always voted against them. Would the member be able to explain to the House why those members voted against increasing the number of inspections by 15

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, the communities in my riding are filled with hard-working Canadian families who need tax breaks to help with the costs of raising their families—not the opposition's massive spending schemes and carbon taxes that would kill their jobs. Could the Parliamentary Secret

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, today the world is reacting with shock and outrage to a new video released by ISIL. This video is further proof that these jihadi terrorists have declared war on our values and our way of life. Can the Minister of National Defence please speak to this matter?

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government is delivering an unprecedented package of benefits to hard-working families through the expanded universal child care benefit and the family tax cut plan. In my riding, in places like Airdrie, Cochrane, Crossfield, Olds, Canmore, and Ban

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I say shame on the hon. member for the kinds of smears that I just heard. I did not hear any basis in fact for any of the things she talked about. Our government's commitment to veterans is completely absolute. We have an absolute commitment. I want to thank her for

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would encourage all Canadians to contrast all the statements and the record of the NDP to the statements and record of our government. Our government has consistently reduced taxes for all Canadians. As I mentioned during my speech, 180 times we have reduced taxes

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I wish my Liberal colleagues across the way would quit talking while I am speaking and pay more attention, because what I am saying is that we have provided tax relief close to 180 times since taking office. That is an outstanding record. Just on its own, our family
