Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the NDP-Liberal Prime Minister finds himself rapidly falling out of favour with Atlantic Canadians. They are not stunned. They know he is not worth the cost. With a short three-year reprieve from carbon tax 1, carbon tax 2 is still cleverly burie

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, I am looking across at the member for Avalon and I can tell by the look on his face that this answer is just not good enough. Those who heat their homes with oil think that they received a treat, but if they vote Liberal again, they will find out that it is a trick.

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, folks back home are wondering how much tax they will pay if they vote Liberal in the next election. The Liberal MP for Long Range Mountains suggested that they want to be a government that listens to the concerns of Liberal ridings. Her and her costly colleagues vot

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the Liberal-NDP government is going to quadruple the carbon tax. Higher fuel taxes cause higher food prices. As a result, there is a 70% increase in food bank usage since before the pandemic in Newfoundland and Labrador. A heartbreaking one-third a

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, for seniors such as Oswald Hodder of Stoneville, after eight years, this Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Oswald recently filled his oil tank for the first time since this Liberal-NDP coalition imposed a carbon tax on Atlantic Canadian heating fuel. He was sho

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, it is quite a spectacle to watch my friend from across the floor speaking. His blood pressure must be right through the roof. He is talking about all the wind farms to go around Sable Island. How many non-indigenous fishermen's organizations were consulted in the

Seniors Mr. Speaker, seniors, such as Ford Snow of Gander, are finding out after eight years that the Prime Minister and his Liberal-NDP coalition are not worth the cost. Reckless inflationary deficits have driven up interest rates, forcing landlords to raise their rents. They have had n

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I have two questions for the future member for Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine. When massive wind farms are planned for the very rich fishing grounds that exist in her future riding around the Gaspé peninsula and the Magdalen Islands, who will she stand with? Wil

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I heard the Liberal member, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, talk about the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Premier of Nova Scotia.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I can start with the FFAW, the Coldwater Lobster Association, the Brazil Rock Lobster Association and the Maritime Fishermen's Union.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Madam Speaker, if the NDP-Liberal government is willing to amend this bill and lay out amendments tomorrow to remove proposed section 56 and outline a meaningful consultation process for the fishing industry stakeholders, I would be willing to vote for it. Otherwise, we have load

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I challenge the member for Kings—Hants. He knows that what I said earlier today when debating closure on this bill was that there are real deficiencies in it. He heard me read proposed section 56, and he even complimented me on studying the bill and knowing what is

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I wish the member for Kings—Hants were as familiar as my hon. colleague about what is going on with the gatekeeping in our offshore oil and gas industry. In response to the member's question, anything that is related to Bill C-69 in Bill C-49 needs to be scrapped

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my opening remarks a couple of days ago, Bill C-49, an act to amend the Atlantic accord, desperately needs amendments. As with all Liberal legislation, the devil is in the details, or, in this case, the lack thereof. Bill C-49, as it stands, would
