Marine Transportation Madam Speaker, the other day, during debate, the member for Battle River—Crowfoot was heckling me while I was trying to speak.

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021 Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague spoke about how hard it is for people right now, and I absolutely and totally agree with him.

Health Mr. Speaker, 34% of people who menstruate had to sacrifice other needs to afford menstrual hygiene products. It costs an individual an average of $6,000 over a lifetime for these products. Menstrual hygiene products are essential health necessities, not luxuries, yet the current

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I absolutely agree with my hon. colleague. I absolutely think it is time that we go after offshore tax havens and that the ultrawealthy and multinational corporations pay their fair share and be held to account. I think it is beyond time. Certainly, the government,

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I agree with my hon. colleague that this is a fairly cynical debate. We should be focused on humanitarian aid. I want to point out that it is time for us to make a global shift, as he mentioned, to green and renewable energy. Russia is a petrostate where oil and g
