Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, it is my privilege and honour to rise today to speak to this bill on free trade between Canada and the Ukraine. I represent the riding of Calgary Centre, but a lot of people know that I grew up in small towns around Edmonton, Alberta. When someone grows up in and

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's input on the matter, although, again, he is picking and choosing where he gets to take his facts on this. Think about the greenhouse gas pricing act that happened at the Supreme Court just two years ago. In fact, at that point in time, th

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, today I rise in the House to ask a question I asked in this House just last week about the Impact Assessment Act and the Supreme Court's ruling that overturned the federal government's move on the Impact Assessment Act, Bill C-69. The government moved ahead despite e

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, with his government in free fall, the Prime Minister dropped his tax on home heating, but only for certain voters. After eight years, all Canadians are feeling the pain and know that the Prime Minister is just not worth the cost. His minister then admitted that this

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, my colleague has spoken about the amount of money the government is spending with its cheque-book diplomacy, putting money in the pockets of their friends all the time, that far exceeds the amount the government has spent on programs for the NDP's confidence-and-su

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it is good to hear that my colleague actually does pay attention to some of the developments happening outside her home province, including in my province of Alberta. Irrigation, which first came up in the 1930s, was a way to open up the dust bowl, Palliser's Tria

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I read the Bloc Québécois' supplementary opinion, which says that this was a boondoggle. It is something the federal government uses to dole out money and push the files it prioritizes in the province of Quebec. It is true, it is an economic instrument for the fed

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, let me say very clearly that what I support is an independent pension plan for all Canadians, not the one the NDP keeps bringing to the floor of the House of Commons. It wants to manipulate at the political level what those pension plans invest in, which, frankly,

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it is nice to speak on behalf of the residents of Calgary Centre for the first time in this Parliament. I really appreciate the fact that we have a speech here today on the Canada Infrastructure Bank. When I first ran in Calgary Centre in 2019, this was one of the

Housing  Mr. Speaker, young Canadians cannot afford to move out of their parents' homes; now seniors are forced to sell their homes because they cannot afford them anymore. After eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, inflation is so high that Canadians who have worked for decades, sa

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, the Supreme Court has affirmed every argument regarding the overreach of the government's disastrous Impact Assessment Act. Its effect has been over $100 billion of projects cancelled. No major projects have proceeded, and 42 projects are in limbo. First nations cann

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, I would advise the member across the way that the last project, which was built was in 2016, was under the previous government's environmental assessment regime, LNG Canada. The chief justice is clear in his statement. He says, very clearly, that the federal governm

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate that my colleague always brings high-mindedness and elegance to his debate in this House of Commons. However, today in his speech, he talked about economic and financial numbers again. I know he is way out of his depth whenever it comes to those debate

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, apparently my Bloc Québécois colleague reiterated the hoax, the misinformation that his colleague was spreading, namely that the oil industry receives subsidies from this government. However, according to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, in 2021, Ca

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I think that the member's speech is the best I have heard from a Bloc Québécois MP. It was an economic speech that criticized the Liberal government for its spending, which is causing inflation across the country. However, he then mentioned a statistic that comes fro
