The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal clean fuel standard will increase the cost of fuel by 4¢ per litre. This increase in cost will have disproportionate effects on Canadians living in rural areas, like so many of my constituents. Rural Canadians do not have the same transportation options a

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, first, I want to tell the member how sorry I am for her mother's passing this fall. One of the things you spoke about was how important palliative care is and that it was available to her. However, there are other places in the country where palliative care is not

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, my colleague brought up some very good points. I know housing is a big issue, and it definitely needs to be dealt with, as well as the opioid crisis. However, my concern is more with the mental state.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am not surprised that you are fighting for Line 5 and will definitely not shut it down, because the economy depends on it. I am just concerned about the fact that you were not fighting as hard for Keystone XL or any of the other pipelines My question to you is t
