Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege and pleasure to speak tonight to this important bill. I am going to take a bit of a different slant on this. As members know, I was first elected in 2019, so I am a relatively new member of this House. This period of time just before the session e

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  moved: That Bill C-12, in Clause 22, be amended by replacing line 32 on page 12 to line 9 on page 13 with the following: “(2) The Minister must make the annual report available to the public within 30 days after receiving it and then, within 120 days after receiving the rep

Government Business No. 9—Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I have had the privilege of sitting on the environment committee with my colleague, and I did notice all of the collusion that happened between the NDP and the Liberals on this issue. My question to him is simple. How will all of the collusion in the way the NDP has

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I absolutely think we will. I can speak to that because I lived through that. I lived through the 1990s. Like I said, my first mortgage had a 13% interest rate and I worry that my children and my future grandchildren, if I have any, will have to deal with this. They

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, there is a phrase that I live by: Work smarter, not harder. Many of the things that we have seen from the government are the opposite of that. Money was given to dead people. If we look at the cross-section of who got the most money, it was the wealthier families tha

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I am hearing the same thing. I have talked to many seniors who are upset with many different aspects of what the government is doing. I believe that seniors built our country, seniors are the foundation upon which we live and it is because of seniors that I am stand

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to rise today and speak to the budget. I actually did not think I would get the opportunity to do this. I did not think I would see a budget from the government, so I am pleased to speak to it today. I want to put this into the context of COVID-19.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the cost of construction these days is really unfortunate. That is part of why I am talking about the building codes. We have to make sure that what we are implementing for building codes is reasonable given the costs that are associated with them. Many factors co

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I can speak to my own position on this. In my former work, I was involved with different organizations working in the inner areas of Saskatoon. Housing has always been a priority to me. Housing has been important to me all through my life. I have worked hard to hel

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the parliamentary secretary's comments and I do appreciate the work that he is doing on behalf of Saskatoon. Hopefully, we will see some money flow eventually to Saskatoon. Regarding the building codes, he is right. The Saskatchewan government does ad

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for Port Moody—Coquitlam. It is my privilege to rise in the House to speak today. Housing is an issue that was important to me before becoming an MP, because in my previous job I owned a small home-building business and

Petitions  Madam Speaker, today I am pleased to rise and present this petition from 543 petitioners in Saskatoon. They spoke passionately to me about the military coup in Myanmar, where tens of thousands of people were protesting, but the military and police had cracked down on them. They a

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-Bloc coalition cutting off debate on its Internet-censorship bill is an act of cowardice by this government. It is doing this because it is afraid of the public backlash against going down in history as the government that trampled over Pierre Trudeau's C

The Budget  Madam Speaker, yesterday the Liberal-NDP coalition rammed through the House the Prime Minister’s billion-dollar-deficit budget. This budget is a massive letdown to all Canadians who were looking to the federal government to deliver us out of the worst economic times this country

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, not to give any secrets away, but I suspect my colleague is of a similar vintage as me. I remember when my first mortgage, for example, was 13%. The interest costs in this budget are admittedly quite low, and we are in a low interest rate time, but they will go up.
