Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I was proud to be parliamentary secretary and part of the Liberal government when the pandemic hit, and we stepped up to get money out the door right away to every single one of those women's shelters from coast to coast to coast. When I stood up before and made a c

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' lack of recognition of climate change and, frankly, lack of awareness of climate change are pretty frightening for me. In the southwest coast of my riding, where the impacts of the hurricane are still being felt, the snow is melting, so my commun

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Newmarket—Aurora for his dedication to rural Ontarians. It is great news for the people of the York Region, for small business, big business, not-for-profits and, frankly, good news for everyone. We know that having access to reliable high-

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, I would like the opposition to take responsibility for the terrible jargon it is putting out on what we have to do on climate change. My riding is devastated, as members have heard me say numerous times. Working at a fishery is a vital income in my riding. I have, as

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, we all know times are tough for Canadians, but I want to remind the House of the 105 homes in my riding that do not need to be heated anymore because they were destroyed by hurricane Fiona; 105 families no longer have a home. If anyone wants to talk about why we need

Telecommunications  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague from Whitby for his strong, unwavering advocacy for rural issues. We know that investments toward high-speed Internet are transformational for improving the lives of rural Canadians, whether they are working from home, accessing h

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I love to get up and talk about Atlantic Canadians, where I am from, because I was so proud when my hon. colleague behind me was in Halifax. In his riding, we announced the $5,000 grant for Canadians, and Atlantic Canadians especially, to get off oil heat. That is go

Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I agree with my colleague and many others that our government will fully support respectful, law-abiding hunters, including those who hunt traditionally, as they do in my province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and indigenous hunters, sports hunters and target shooter

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, we all remember sadly the events of 30-odd years ago, and our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the young women whose lives were tragically taken. There is also another tragedy in my riding of a different scale, which is of course due to climate change.

Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I am one of those hunters, and I know I can speak for all the hunters in this room when I say that we cannot stand it when we see a firearm used, as we heard earlier about Polytechnique, to take other innocent lives. I would hope we all want to work together to make

Firearms  Madam Speaker, I have been a hunter and fisher all my life. I have great memories of hunting with my dad and I wish he were here now, because he would support me 100%. My friends and I have looked at the amendments to Bill C-21. We agree. Every time a firearm kills an innocent p

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I would like to talk about another group of families, whom I have been invited to go to cook for and serve Christmas dinner to next weekend. They are the over 125 people who lost their homes due to hurricane Fiona. They have no homes. They are living with family an

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I find that quite rich coming from the party opposite, which promised a climate plan but has not delivered. The people in my riding want action on climate right now. The impacts of Fiona are still being felt on the ground. Now, in addition to the damages done to per

Disaster Assistance  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague from Egmont for his work during these horrific times of hurricane Fiona. We have all seen the heartbreaking images from hurricane Fiona, and even though they may not be on the national news, they are burned in our hearts for

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, I want to continue my narrative because I was talking about Canadian lives who were impacted by our not acting on climate change and not acting on climate change now. I have seen people go through the rubble looking for their parents' urns of ashes. I have seen peopl
