Radiocommunication Act  Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the opportunity to talk about a bill from a senator who has become a great friend. The senator is from Nunavut, with a lot of deep history in Nunavut and Northwest Territories even before the boundaries had been reformed. Many call this the “use

Carbon Tax  Madam Speaker, Sarah, a mother of four from Whitehorse, told me yesterday how expensive life has gotten because of the carbon tax. Sarah spent $240 to fill up her truck last Friday. That tank of gas will only last her one week of going back and forth to work, along with some ki

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, that desperate Prime Minister, in total free fall, finally admitted that his carbon tax is punishing Canadians. The Prime Minister also announced in his re-election platform that to vote Liberal in Yukon would mean quadrupling the carbon tax on hom

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I would go back to what I started off with saying, which is that the NDP is really the no development party. I will quote an MLA from Nunavut, who said, “if adopted, [the member for Nunavut's] plan would impede the growth of mining in the territory and make it har

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, the economic development we hope to see with this bill is through the prevention of foreign interference from really taking hold. I have a quote with respect to another security issue, which states, “Russia is a persistent proximate threat to North America. And w

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, the answer to the member's question is that I am not sure. The NDP-Liberal government, after eight years, makes a lot of promises. To use NORAD as an example, we have seen billions of dollars promised, but the last count I have is that about $45 million has been s

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to speak about Bill C-34 today. It has been said before that weak leaders create hard times. The bill is meant to deal with foreign interference and the lack of infrastructure. I am going to speak specifically about that lack of in

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Mark is a local grocery store owner in Dawson City. He has seen his already high shipping costs get slapped with a 94% fuel surcharge because of the current Prime Minister's carbon tax. A dozen eggs is eight dollars, a pound of butter is nine dollars and a kilogram o

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, despite the Prime Minister's fancy photo ops yesterday, Yukoners are facing a cold winter. They will have to decide between keeping their kids warm and keeping them fed. The carbon tax is causing transportation costs to double and food prices to skyrocket. Instead o

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, carbon tax is causing the affordability issue in Yukon. First, the NDP-Liberal government wanted to triple the carbon tax. Then they said that it was not enough and brought in a second carbon tax. Both of these carbon taxes will increase 14¢ to 61¢ a litre, all suppo

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, we would like a recorded vote.

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, Nunavut residents cannot trust the Prime Minister on housing. At a campaign stop in Iqaluit in the last election he promised, “We're going to try and maximize what we can do in the next construction season.” The sad reality is that housing projec

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member's comments, but I want to ask her a question. I represent, through my portfolio, the territories. One thing I will be speaking about in the House is the lack of housing in Nunavut specifically. Per-unit costs have risen to $1.1 million beca

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to stand today to offer this petition that really adds protection against political discrimination. It is based on a private member's bill from my colleague from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan. Petitioners call upon the House of Commons to support Bil

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, in the comments from the member of the NDP, she has called what we are doing today criminal and what is happening in this chamber wrong. We are acting as an opposition party in the House of Commons. The NDP, on the other hand, is completely supporting this Liberal
