Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we have had many opinions expressed in the House about pipelines. We have one over here, we have a second one there, and a third one over there. We have mayors who are weighing in. We have premiers who are weighing in. The only way we are going to get a process that

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, there was a chief in northern Manitoba who told me that she had not had a single conversation with the previous Conservative government in 10 years. This government has undergone a serious set of meaningful consultations with indigenous communities from coast to coa

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I realize that not all good things are in Manitoba, just many good things.
