Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls  Mr. Speaker, this is a tragedy that has happened in our major city in Manitoba, in Winnipeg, and I just wanted to offer my condolences personally to the families of the victims.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, speaking of pollution, there is perhaps a bit of dilution there as well from my colleague.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague from the NDP for his support of the Liberals and keeping the carbon tax going in his area. We want to get rid of the carbon tax because it has proven not to reduce greenhouse gases, and it is costing people money out of their own

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I am happy that the member raised that as well because I am very concerned about it.

Encouraging the Growth of the Cryptoasset Sector Act  Madam Speaker, I welcome the opportunity to speak to Bill C-249. The member for Winnipeg North's speech is a fine reason why the Liberals are dropping in the polls in popularity with Canadians.
