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

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 committee  Thank you, Ministers, for coming today. It's obviously a really important issue that we're working on here. I'm from Medicine Hat, and we're captive to the CPR, and have been captive for as long as I can recall. I worked for an international petrochemical company, and I can

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?

Medicine Hat Volunteer  Mr. Speaker, it is my great privilege to stand here today to talk about one of my constituents, Evelyn Stall. Evelyn has been a very active volunteer in Medicine Hat and elsewhere for over 80 years. At 95 years young, Evelyn is as active as ever in voluntary activities. Here

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

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for coming. My riding is Medicine Hat. Many of you may have actually heard about Rudyard Kipling and what he said about Medicine Hat, that it has “all hell for a basement”, meaning plenty of natural gas, a lot of shallow gas

The Budget   back on track and in the black, as promised. Canada will be deficit-free at the federal level by next year, which is the icing on the cake. This budget is great for the people of my home province of Alberta, as well as the people in my riding of Medicine Hat, which I am so very

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
