Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I thank the Minister of Finance for making an appearance here this evening. The four Atlantic premiers, including Premier Furey, a close personal friend of the Prime Minister, wrote a letter to the environment minister in the last couple of days. I would ask the minis

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, carbon tax 1 and 2 would hammer Atlantic Canadians, with it ranging from $2,081 in P.E.I. to $2,166 in my home province. Atlantic premiers, including the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, begged the Prime Minister to not put carbon tax on home heating fuel. Thei

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, there they go again with that stupid guilt trip. Fishermen like the Jacobs brothers—

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, there they go again with that unbelievable guilt trip. The Jacobs brothers from Fogo Island and fishermen like them who take to the ocean in Canada's most dangerous profession are going to be hammered when a carbon tax is placed on the very fuel that they need to fee

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the finance minister has been dodging questions about her second carbon tax ever since she came back to work. Now, we finally have the answer, thanks to the PBO. This additional 17¢ a litre is even going to be charged on fuel used by our fishermen. For families in Ne

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans’ February 2023 decision to not renew salmon farming licenses in the Discovery Islands of British Columbia: (a) what evidence was considered in making the decision to phase out Atlantic salmon farming; (b) what evidence was rejec

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, Japan and South Korea, tremendous allies and trading partners, are choosing cheap Russian crab over crab caught by our fishermen. As a result, the Newfoundland and Labrador snow crab industry is at a standstill. In 2022, according to The Japan Times, Japan imported a

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, what the government has proven time and time again is that it is a complete failure. The U.S. banned the importing of Russian crab in June 2022. The Liberal government has been aware of the continued Japanese and Korean purchasing of snow crab from Russia, and was wa

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, that was unparliamentary language by the member across the way.

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, he is being derogatory to people who suffer from mental illness.

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, Newfoundland and Labrador is feeling the pinch. Industries and transportation rely on fuel to support our very existence. Our fishery, mining, forestry, agriculture, tourism and offshore oil industries are heavily impacted by the cost of fuel. The Liberal government

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, that national dental program is nothing but washed-out election bait. Fewer than 10% of Canadians are going to be able to take advantage of that program. If they have nothing to eat, they will starve to death anyway.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, experts say that if it was not for our oil production and our gas production in Canada, our dollar would be about 35¢. I would ask my hon. colleague how much a head of lettuce would cost if our dollar was 35¢. It is bad enough now, when it is 75¢.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I admire my colleague. I work with him on the fisheries committee. One thing we have heard time and time again at the fisheries committee is about the failure of the shipbuilding strategy. We have not had a trial survey of cod, capelin or many other species because

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I do not know what to think of that. That is unbelievable and disgusting. I am glad that once in a while we can agree with the Bloc members a bit. I thank them for one particular time when they did agree with us and voted for my bill, Bill C-251. I really appreciat
