Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I think it will, because now we have support for alternative energy that we did not have in the past, which needs to be brought forth. That is part of how to actually move forward on these initiatives. It is a good, legitimate concern; there is no doubt. However, we

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I cannot really comment on the Conservatives and what their intentions are, but I can tell members that, in my experience, when we actually have the provinces united behind something in their region, we have to act on it quickly because that consensus may not stay. E

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I cannot speak for the Conservatives on that. However, I will say that when we have an opportunity, we have to seize it, with this type of support coming from the provinces. Time is of the essence on this. Climate change is not going to wait for parliamentary procedu

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise on Bill C-48, an act that would amend the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act and the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and to make consequential amendments to other acts.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that my colleague is listening to me, so that is good. It is Bill C-49. I appreciate the correction. We would not want that to stand in the record here. I want to talk about the connection to my community and renewables and also what is taking place wit

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it was a tough summer for Halifax and Nova Scotia in general. I would like the member to reflect upon his government's policy for cell service. Back in 2018, there was a failure here in Ottawa on cell service related to a tornado and other weather conditions. This su

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, something I have some concern about, too, is whether the GST removed from new rental builds will help lower the cost of building the units at that time, but the key component to this would be the follow-up to make sure the savings are passed on to the people buying

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, absolutely. This is my eighth Parliament and every government has done some good work on different things. There is no doubt about it. I could run off a list, whether they have been Conservative majority or minority governments or Liberal majority or minority gover

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's work on a lot of initiatives, including helping me with my private member's bill on Ojibway national urban park. His riding also has a lot of greenhouses, does a lot of production for Canada and there is a lot of shipping. It is not eno

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today with respect to Bill C-56, an act to amend the Excise Tax Act and the Competition Act, and I will get into those two components. It has been an interesting debate in the House, hearing various land barons talk about affordable living fo

Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, Canadians are putting their heart and soul into creating content for this entire country and the world to enjoy. However, on TikTok, they are left out of the creator fund and cannot be paid for their work. It is unfair. TikTok compensates its creators in the Unite

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, one of the curious aspects of the motion is that it would require the Liberal Party to create legislation within seven days, which would come at a time when we have a national day of significance for first nations' recognition and what we need to reconcile. I fin

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, whom I enjoy working with at the industry committee. When I look at this motion, I would ask the member a very serious question about process. The motion calls for the government to actually introduce legislation within seven days. For all th

Innovation, Science and Industry  Mr. Speaker, investing in clean technology is crucial to the fight against climate change. In that fight, one of Canada's leading agencies, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, has had allegations of wrongdoing with the way it has spent its funding and the way it has treate

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the minister for Bill C-56. Some movement on the Competition Bureau is very important, and I appreciate his efforts. It is the 1386 “Yeoman's Tale” that the phrase “better late than never” comes from. It is good to see the efficiency defence being looked
