Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill C-3. This was originally introduced as Bill C-337 in 2017 by Rona Ambrose, who was the leader of the Conservative Party at that time, and who has doggedly pursued it even though she is no longer in the House of Commons. We have to giv

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I have been a member of the House since October of 2019. It is an honour to serve the residents of Calgary Centre and I am pleased that they chose me to represent their interests. The advancement of this issue is very important. I am elected to the House. I am not

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, that is exactly the reason many of us ran for Parliament. We saw the way the government was rushing certain legislation through the House and the Senate, with no regard for process or for what Canadians actually needed in that process. That happened, and there was

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from the Bloc Québécois. I do not disagree with him. I think our job here is to debate topics that affect Canadians. What happens at the other place is not our business and that is part of the process.

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, I believe you can hear me now. On March 25 of this year, at the beginning of a pandemic whose effects were multiplied by an ill-timed global oil price war between large state-owned enterprises half a world away, the then minister of finance and the Liberal govern

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, hundreds of thousands of oil field workers have lost their jobs in the last five years, and that has impacted their families. More than half a million more Canadians and their families are nervously watching during a pandemic as their government continues to act no

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I was bumped off with technical difficulties and my screen froze. As a result, I did not hear your question. I was on just before you asked the question and had technical services get me on shortly after you asked the question, but I did not tech

Oil and Gas industry  Mr. Speaker, Canada's beleaguered oil and gas industry has suffered for five years at the hands of the government. From east coast refineries to west coast access to oil drilling in the territories, the government's disregard for the industry from coast to coast to coast is astou

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to rise today to second the motion by my colleague for Edmonton Centre.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I apologize for heckling with the mute button off. It was two words. I do not think the words were unparliamentary, as did my hon. colleague on the other side of the House, but I will take it under advisement and I will refrain.

Climate Change Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I apologize but I am going to make my comments in English, to ensure that they are interpreted properly. My hon. colleagues in the Bloc Québécois on this side of the House seemed to lionize, including in the bill, certain energy in Canada. We have to realize in Ca

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in response to a point of order raised by the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons on November 3, regarding his concerns respecting Bill C-214, a private member's bill that I have sponsored, entitled “An Ac
