Fall Economic Statement  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would point out that there is not a quorum.

Fall Economic Statement  Madam Speaker, I used to fly airplanes, but I do know a bit about sailing, and one of the things one wants to do is keep the water out of the boat. However, it seems that the Liberal government's policy right now is to throw water into the boat and drown Canadians. Therefore, I

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, sometimes, when I look at my hon. colleague, I feel like I am looking at myself. Yes, the number one conversation I had at the 50th anniversary of the Snowbirds with some of the people who are presently serving was about the issues we are talking about when we are

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize my colleague and all his hard work and passion for getting good service. I will say that this committee would be better under a Conservative government, so I thank him for giving me that opportunity. I know my colleague and I share the sa

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, again we go back in history here, with the Liberal government trying to paint its problems with the previous government and failing to take responsibility for the job it was elected to do. The government that is in power has bragged about opening up offices, but t

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the residents of the riding I represent, Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan, for all the efforts they have put into Remembrance Day, which is coming upon us. I will be splitting my time with the member for Yorkton—Melville. There is no doubt

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, one of the things my colleague mentioned was the committee, which I sit on, and the number of reports and recommendations.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his intervention and for his service on the veterans affairs committee, which we work on together.

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2.  Madam Speaker, a promises is a promise in my house, and it should be the same in this House. The Liberal government made a promise of $4.5 billion to contribute to mental health. Why it is not fulfilling that promise and is now making another promise that was not in the Liberal

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his revisionist history on the banking crisis of 2008. As I sit here, I see a shell game, a carnival, with the way the carbon tax is being laid out and always being proposed by the Liberal government and the NDP. If it was so good, why wo

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, this upcoming Remembrance Day, veterans across Canada will be thanked for their service by being charged GST on top of a carbon tax on their heating bills, which is a tax on a tax on a tax. Heating a home during winter is a necessity. Why will the Prime Minister not

Pense Memorial Rink  Mr. Speaker, the local rink is the heart of every Canadian community. It is where our kids learn to skate or curl, learn important skills and life lessons such as teamwork and sportsmanship. Perhaps most importantly, they create lifelong friendships and cherished memories. After

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, a veteran in my riding noticed that GST was being charged on top of the carbon tax on his power bill. The Liberal government plans to triple the carbon tax. Guess what. This would also triple the GST on a basic necessity. Life is getting too expensive for Canadians.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, when I think about the free enterprise system we have in Canada, I believe in competition. I believe that what we see are people who are innovative. I find that the potential in our country is in its people, that we are creative and innovative, and that the solutio
