Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the member across the way should be aware that while she was in cabinet, the Conservatives actually had the information she is talking about. I do not know if they did not read it, or if they are intentionally trying to mislead the House. Then, we have a document tha

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it has been a very interesting day. The Conservatives constantly say that they want to know more about the numbers. The numbers they are asking for were created when they were in government. They want numbers that they would have had when they were in government. Tha

Points of Order  Madam Speaker, I apologize to my friend across the way, but it is a point of order that I need to get on the record right away. I rise to respond to the point of order raised earlier today by my hon. colleague, the member for Edmonton West, in regard to the language of the draft

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the only aspect of the member's speech that I would concur with is the fact that we have outstanding farmers in Canada. I am very proud of the industry in my home province of Manitoba. The member made reference to zero tillage. There are so many fantastic examples of

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to reflect on the province of Alberta, because there is a lot we can learn from it. I believe it was the first government in North America that determined that it was necessary to put a price on pollution. That was a Progressive Conservative government t

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, the following questions will be answered today: Questions Nos. 1719, 1721, and 1725.

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  Mr. Speaker, if the government's response to Questions Nos. 1717, 1718, 1720, 1722 to 1724, and 1726 to 1728 could be made orders for returns, these returns would be tabled immediately.

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  Mr. Speaker, I would ask that all remaining questions be allowed to stand.

Government Response to Petitions  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 10 petitions.

Cannabis Act  Madam Speaker, I have been following the Conservatives' debate on this issue, and I find it amazing. Their position is to decriminalize cannabis. By decriminalizing cannabis but not legalizing it and putting in regulations, I suspect they will find great support from gangs. Gangs

Government Response to Petitions  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8) I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to 15 petitions. While I am on my feet, I move: That the House do now proceed to orders of the day.

Fisheries Act  Madam Speaker, I would not mind doing a comparison of who shows up for votes and who does not, on a percentage basis. I am sure the government is doing a far better job than the Conservatives in opposition. It is not debatable; it is a given. I would look to the person across—

Fisheries Act  Madam Speaker, at the end of the day, the legislation is a reflection of what Canadians have been telling us, not only while we have been in government but in the lead-up to the last election. It is good, positive legislation. Canadians are concerned about our waterways, the fish

Fisheries Act  Madam Speaker, it has been entertaining listening to Conservatives talk about Bill C-68. On the one hand, the New Democratic friends say that the government should be doing more. On the other hand, the Conservatives' mentality is that any legislation on the environment is bad. We

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, when I look at my years of involvement in politics, one of the things we have attempted to overcome in the province of Manitoba is being called a “have not province”. We receive more money through equalization as a direct result of that. A province like Alberta has a
