Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, for a number of years now we have been working on our critical minerals partnerships around the world to demonstrate that yes, there is an alternative to minerals from China right here in Canada, whether it is cobalt or nickel or lithium or copper or other metals tha

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, through this pandemic, we stepped up, with $9 out of $10 going to Albertans from the federal government during the pandemic. In the years leading up to it, we continued to invest in infrastructure and in supports for Albertans. We have continued to be there for worke

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, as we did for steel and aluminum workers with measures the Leader of the Opposition called dumb, we are continuing to stand up for Canada's electric vehicle industry and its workers. I raised the issue directly with President Biden and congressional leaders in Washi

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite should know that our auto sector is all about supply chains. That is exactly what we have been working on with the United States, to demonstrate to them that the integration between the Canadian and American economy and the Canadian and American s

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what we are doing. We have committed to ending fossil fuel subsidies. At the same time, we have made historic investments in energy sector transformation, in support for workers across the country, in renewables and in the kind of future that we know

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago in Glasgow, we announced our intention to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies by 2023, or two years before our G20 partners, whose target is 2025. We also announced that Canada will stop funding international fossil fuel projects. On this side of the Hou

Justice  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Davenport for her advocacy on this issue. Just like her, I have heard from conversion therapy survivors, and anyone who has knows this horrid practice must end. This week, we introduced even stronger legislation to ban conversion ther

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, we are doing what is necessary to ensure the safety of all Canadians with respect to COVID-19 and to fulfill our international obligations with respect to asylum seekers. We are ensuring that we have the resources required to properly screen irregular asylum seekers

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, COVID has disrupted supply chains. The recent extreme weather events in B.C. have further disrupted supply chains. It is why we have stepped up, including with an investment of our $4 million directly to the Port of Vancouver to help ease the backlog. We know there

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, islanders are suffering right now and are worried, and the Conservatives are making jokes. This is a very serious situation. We will continue to step up to defend Prince Edward Islanders and the potatoes they produce. It is why we have taken initiatives with the Un

Housing  First of all, Mr. Speaker, I recommend that the member opposite take a careful look at the Bank of Canada's independent mandate around monetary policy, which on this side of the House we respect. Second, it is interesting that the member opposite brings up wealthy landlords, be

Employment  Mr. Speaker, although the labour shortage is real, it was there before the pandemic began. That is why we have continued to boost federal immigration levels for the past several years. That is why we are going to keep making greater investments in immigration and job training in

Employment  Mr. Speaker, first of all, I would like to point out that my hon. colleague should talk to her hon. colleague from Carleton, who complains that we are doing too much. She wants us to do more. That is what we will continue to do. We recognize how important it is to invest even mor

Health  Mr. Speaker, I disagree with the member opposite, and not just because he uses “literally” metaphorically. Canada is taking leadership at the World Trade Organization, and we are working with the international community to ensure that the trading system contributes to removing b
