Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, I will ask my colleague another question, because it is an important matter we are discussing here today. We talked about how the other side of the House has flip-flopped and gone forward with legislation it previously opposed, which shows there is very little prin

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his impassioned speech. I am used to that from him in the House. I am going to ask the member a very serious question. He knows as well that the Liberal government previously voted against this same legislation before it was in partnershi

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, for years now, the Minister of Finance has brought forward statements not on what will be done for Canadians, but on how she can throw money around to address the latest “crisis”. Let us go through them: an environment crisis, a cost of living crisis, a housing affor

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I am a little confused. My colleague spoke about many issues. There are some excellent foreign investors that came into Canada in the previous regime, but that is over eight years ago now. We are looking at a lot here. My colleague advanced 14 amendments, some of

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, that is the crux of what Conservatives see as being wrong with the bill. It has been led by our industry critic, who just spoke. That is what we need to change more than anything else in the bill: to make sure collective decision-making is happening at the cabinet

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I do not know where the government is going on this. It is obvious that for years, we were looking at transparent decisions made with the market. Unfortunately, a lot of acquisitions happen in the market around the world by foreign actors that are state-owned enter

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to address the House today on Bill C-34, an act to amend the Investment Canada Act. There are some positive advancements in this bill. Notably, there is the move to give the minister more time and authority to assess foreign transactions that mi

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would ask that you ask the member for Kingston and the Islands to withdraw his comment. I know it is the practice on one side of the House to just read canned speeches, but I know this member, and I know he wrote that speech. I know h

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, the member spoke about some of our allies. He spoke about Australia and the U.K. and how they are moving toward our system of examination of these matters on an international basis. Does he have any information whether those two very important allies actually hav

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, that is the first time I have heard somebody differentiate the warmth going into people's homes in the wintertime to keep them from freezing, but thanks. The NDP-Liberal government is not worth the cost, and Canadians can see it. Canadians are struggling to make en

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, after eight years with the Prime Minister pretending that his way was the only way to reduce emissions, he announced a pause on the carbon tax on home heating, but only for some Canadians, only in some regions and not for all Canadians. Calgarians are already strug

Remembrance Day  Madam Speaker, Canada will mark Remembrance Day next Saturday, and we will gather to honour those who have served in guiding our country's freedom, those who currently serve and those who have paid the ultimate price. We are forever in their debt. In Calgary, Remembrance Day cer

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
