Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, last week, a desperate Prime Minister admitted his punishing carbon tax is making life more expensive for all Canadians. He also said that if re-elected, the NDP-Liberal government will quadruple the carbon tax on home heating, gas and groceries. After eight years, t

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, the Prime Minister admitted two things: one, that his carbon tax is making life unaffordable for Atlantic Canadians; and two, that if re-elected, he will impose the full quadrupled carbon tax on Atlantic Canadians regardless if they can afford it or no

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, first the NDP-Liberal government wanted to triple the carbon tax. Then it said that was not enough and it brought in a second carbon tax that will add 61¢ per litre to gasoline back home. The NDP-Liberal government will quadruple the carbon tax. The Prime Minister is

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the current NDP-Liberals driving up the cost of living in Atlantic Canada, this Prime Minister is just not worth the cost. Liberal MPs from Atlantic Canada have again decided to punish us by quadrupling the carbon tax to 61¢ per litre. Atlantic C

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, Atlantic Canadians are struggling to pay for their groceries, gas and home heating. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Liberal MPs support measures to quadruple the carbon tax to 61¢ a litre. Atlantic Liberal MPs have continued to support carbon taxes since 2015. Will the At

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, they have already ruined one tidal project, and I invite the member opposite to tell the people of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, choosing between fuelling their cars and purchasing groceries, how the carbon tax is not punishing them every single day. Atlantic Lib

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, like I said earlier, it is interesting because what I laid out is the fact that the bill does not mention the duty to consult and it does not mention the Crown's responsibility. It is silent on that part of the legislation. As a first nations individual, the member s

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments about my health and I am glad to hear that the member is feeling better too. Clearly, Conservative Party opinion and Green Party opinion on some of these files greatly differ on a good day, and some of the member's more concrete questions w

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, going to committee may be a potential down the road, but as elected officials in the House, we have to do our due diligence.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it would be the Liberal fuel regulations. There is the carbon tax. There are the clean fuel standards. There are lots of different bills. It is the Liberal's fuel regulation that is basically hurting Quebeckers now. I heard it when I was in Quebec City. I had people

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, we have grave concerns on this side of the House that the Liberal government either does not know anything about economics whatsoever or impedes growth and progress across all sectors through every decision it makes. It is probably both. We have grave concerns beca

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, in my speech I laid out the reasons why we think it should not pass at this point. It needs amendments. However, if this truly is an urgent matter for the federal Liberal government, then why did it take eight years? Why are we watching a recycled video of a housing

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it is certainly a pleasure to be back in the House of Commons. The last couple of months were tough. I had a few sinus surgeries, missed a bit of time and had some uncomfortable moments, but I am really happy. Truly, when one does not have good health, it really give

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, gas, diesel and home heating costs are spiking because Liberal MPs voted to implement and increase the carbon tax. The Prime Minister and his NDP coalition are not worth the cost to Canadians. After eight years of raising carbon taxes on the farmers and truckers tha
