The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I agree with my colleague opposite that the forestry sector is indeed a very important part of our economy. I want to say that we are focused on supporting middle-class Canadians and their families at every stage of their lives. Not only did the Conservatives vote a

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, we in this House feel for people who have lost their jobs in the downturn of the energy sector particularly.

Job Losses in the Energy Sector  Mr. Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to rise today to reaffirm our government's commitment to the oil and gas industry, a vital part of our Canadian economy.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, as a government, we understand the challenges that workers and their families across the country in the energy sector have experienced over the past three years.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as I have been listening to this debate, there are a couple of things that are frustrating me and many other people who are watching this. In October, when the motion came forward to condemn all forms of Islamophobia, the members opposite voted for that. I have als
