Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague from Saskatoon West reminding me that I am splitting my time with the member for Cloverdale—Langley City. Guess who also did not have to wait for handouts from the Liberal government. Former Liberal member of Parliament Frank Baylis receive

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I normally start my speeches by saying that I am pleased to be joining in the debate, which I normally am. However, although I support this motion 100%, I am not pleased that we are one full year into the pandemic and we require a motion such as this to get the Liber

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, my colleague covered a lot of the issues of the corruption and entitlement of the government when it comes to COVID spending, and also the incredible lack of transparency. Last week, the Liberals introduced massive proposals to reverse the decline of the French lan

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I have three petitions to present and I will be brief on each of them. The first petition recognizes that our tax code does not allow a tax on a tax. The petitioners call for the Government of Canada to eliminate the GST on the federal carbon tax, levies and addit

Petitions  Madam Speaker, the second petition calls upon the Government of Canada to adopt the 2017 recommendation of the Alberta jobs task force and create a bipartisan equal membership committee to develop a small business action plan that will take into account the realities of communiti

Petitions  Madam Speaker, the third petition calls upon the government to immediately put in place a plan for an east-west energy corridor to replace foreign oil so Canada's source of oil and crude remains in Canada, serving the dual function of economic stimulus and environmental protectio

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague said that it was difficult for her to understand. It is difficult for me to understand as well when a company in Calgary has been reaching out to the government since the beginning of the pandemic for support for its made-in-Canada vaccine. What d

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, my colleague from Winnipeg Centre makes a very good point. Small businesses are suffering. At the very beginning, the government said that the wage subsidy support would be 10%. We called for 75%, like many in the G7. Then it delayed the rollout for months and mont

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, my colleague asked why the Liberals planned to fail. I think it is just practice. Rising interest rates are going to cost us dearly.
