Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, it is common practice in the House that if somebody is going to move for unanimous consent, they actually talk to all of the other whips to make sure we get to a unanimous consent motion. We were not consulted, and we will not say yes on somethin

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, we come in here and listen to the member for Winnipeg North drone on and on, and he is loud. I live next door to him, and I know that his political epitaph is going to say that no member has ever spoken so much and said so little. That is a reality we are dealing wit

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, I would remind the member for Kingston and the Islands that he has not been mayor for over 10 years.

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, when we tax the farmer who grows the food and we tax the trucker who hauls the food, then we hurt the families who buy the food. Things have gotten so bad under the Liberal-NDP carbon tax coalition that military families stationed in Borden and Gagetown are having to

Canada-Ukraine Relations Mr. Chair, I want to thank the member for his kind words toward me. I do appreciate that.
