Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am presenting 32 petitions today on behalf of the citizens of Medicine Hat, with hundreds of signatures, to make the Wild Horse border crossing to the United States a 24-hour port of entry for commercial business. The petitioners are asking Parliament to legislate

Agriculture committee  The interesting thing is you talked about traceability. In my riding, in Medicine Hat and Redcliff,there are a lot of greenhouses. There's an organization called Red Hat Co-op, and all the greenhouses are supplying tomatoes, cukes, and peppers. They do have a traceability system

Public Safety committee   pays up to 90%. The city of Medicine Hat and that area were impacted by those floods, so I totally understand what's going on there. I think we're doing the right thing to try to make sure we can recoup the losses that our citizens have had. I actually have a couple of questions

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country. It is an honour for me to rise in the House to give my maiden speech. I would like to take a few minutes to thank the constituents of my riding of Medicine Hat

Agriculture committee  Thanks to the witnesses for coming. I'm from Medicine Hat. The CP goes right through my riding. Quite frankly, Mr. Creel, I used to work in the private sector. I worked for a company called Methanex—before that, it was Novacor Chemicals, and before that, it was Alberta Gas

Agriculture committee  Okay, it's interesting because I come from a background in the private sector. I worked for an international petrochemical company in Medicine Hat. I've heard from grain farmers. When I worked for that company, the railway was the problem all the time. This is not new. Certainly

Agriculture and Agri-Food   money, and this needs to change. Could the parliamentary secretary please tell the House how our government is taking action to put hard-working Canadian farmers first, including those in my riding of Medicine Hat?

Natural Resources committee  Not just the local, but certainly across the country.... I know that Medicine Hat isn't the only community that has these types of facilities. I understand there are a lot of other provinces that have investments like these and certainly it has a huge impact on the Canadian

Natural Resources committee  . It's really interesting, because the carbon black plant actually takes their excess steam and produces electricity, then sells it back to the City of Medicine Hat, which produces its own electricity. So there's a really prime example of the efficiencies that are being created

Employees' Voting Rights Act   riding of Medicine Hat for their support over this last year. I am very pleased to rise in the House today to speak in support of the employees' voting rights act, which intends to modify the Canada Labour Code, the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act, and the Public

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Chair, and thank you, witnesses, for coming. I understand Mr. Otto is now going to be in the new riding of Medicine Hat, so welcome. I was interested in some of your comments. It has been said that 80% of the barley goes into feed for cattle and pork, and the other

City of Brooks   and communities. I would like to congratulate the city of Brooks in my riding of Medicine Hat for having won this prestigious award in the 10,000 to 35,000 people category for 2013. I have had the honour of representing the great people of Brooks since first being elected some five years ago

Public Safety committee  , where we attended as part of our committee. One of the things I've noticed in my local community that has been reported many times is that the Medicine Hat city police are the second-highest paid in the country, which I find quite outstanding, actually. That obviously relates

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank the witnesses for coming today. Canada's economic action plan was huge for my riding. I had the opportunity to talk to all the mayors and the reeves throughout our riding. Medicine Hat is a fairly large riding in the southeast corner

Last Post Fund   in very meaningful ways. Canada's veterans have earned that. They deserve it, and our government is proud to be delivering it for them, our nation's heroes. I want to thank all of the Veterans Affairs staff and the Canadian Legion across the great riding of Medicine Hat, for they have
