Canada's Agriculture Day  Mr. Speaker, today is Canada's Agriculture Day. Today and every day, we recognize our farmers and farm families' invaluable contributions and the resilience of our agricultural sector from coast to coast to coast. Our Liberal government is committed to supporting the hard-workin

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, my heart goes out to grape growers in B.C. and across Canada. I know that in Nova Scotia, they have gone through climate change events. Obviously, this is a serious issue. We have been there to support the wine sector previously and we will continue to be there to su

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member raised an important point. He would know very well, if he was at the agriculture committee this week, that there is no evidence to suggest that carbon pricing is increasing the price of food. The evidence shows that climate change has an impact on the

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, slogans will not help farmers. On this side of the House, we have always believed that supporting farmers is important, and that is why we have invested 25% more in the agricultural budget. This is something that the leader of the official opposition cut while he was

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, if the bill were so important, I would let my hon. colleague know that five Conservative senators were missing in action when it came down to the important vote. On this side of the House, we believe in climate change. I have yet to hear one single platform or polic

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the truth comes out: They want to go into an election. Nobody, no Canadian, wants to go into an election right now. Again, our support for farmers has been consistent. We support our supply-managed sector. We support our farmers to help transition toward a greener e

Conservative Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, Canadians want concrete action on making their grocery bills affordable. While we come up with solutions, Conservative members are out cross-country skiing and dragging their feet. This is no surprise. Given that the Conservative leader's right-hand woman is affilia

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, it is a bit funny that members on that side are talking about affordability. My hon. colleague has brought up a good point. The chief strategist for the leader of the official opposition is a lobbyist for Loblaws. Loblaws is the only grocer asking not to be part of

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, we are not playing games, and I wish the member would stop misinforming this House. Obviously, farmers have faced droughts. We get that. We understand. Why? It is because of climate change. Twenty-one percent of grains in 2021 did not make it to the market. There

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I am always happy to rise to answer a question on farming. I am glad the member raises supply management. Our government has supported supply management throughout its mandate. For eight years, we have supported supply management, and $4.5 billion is available for

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, the Conservatives love to talk the talk with farmers, but when it comes time for action, they are always missing in action. Every time they were in power, the Conservatives slashed funding for farmers, something they do not like to talk about. They slashed $200 mi

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I will entertain a conversation with the Prime Minister if she entertains a conversation with the leader of the official opposition to ensure its support of Bill C-57 and its support for Ukraine.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. He raises a good point. I do not know what happened to Brian Mulroney's party, which believed in free trade agreements. For some reason, the leader of the official opposition decided to no longer support an agenda that promote

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, we can all strive to do better, and I would encourage that member to do better as well and to support Bill C-57.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I have to agree with the hon. member. We know that the leader of the official opposition is getting advice on high grocery prices from a lobbyist called Jenni Byrne, but I am wondering if they are now getting advice on foreign policy from Tucker Carlson, who has be
