Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, liquefied natural gas represents a great opportunity for Canada to be a world leader in clean energy, job creation and the global fight against climate change. However, the environment minister now says we have to be very careful with LNG. Last month, 18,000 Britis

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am tabling a petition to support Bill C-350 and Bill S-240 from the 42nd Parliament. Petitioners want the 43rd Parliament to be one that finally takes action on forced organ harvesting and passes these bills.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to start off by thanking the residents from Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge for voting for me. I am just happy to serve them in this House and in our communities. As I listen to the members from the Liberal caucus speak, I must admit that it is very disconcert

House debate  Madam Speaker, congratulations on your appointment. I am very happy to be here today representing Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge. I want to thank the residents in both communities for electing me, and I want to thank all my volunteers. As all members here recognize, we just cannot do

House debate  Madam Speaker, my apologies to the member, but I did not pass judgment too quickly; I do not think I passed it quickly enough. The middle class has struggled. On the doorsteps in British Columbia and throughout this country, people are saying their disposable income is going dow

House debate  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. I truly believe in every province's jurisdictions. It is very important. There are jurisdictions on the provincial side of things that also are a responsibility for Canada. It is a matter of recognizing that all Canadians

House debate  Madam Speaker, salmon fishing and salmon runs are extremely important. I think it is very important that we conserve the salmon runs. I have advocated a fish ladder on the Alouette River toward Alouette Lake, which is very important. I did that provincially and I will as a memb

Baseball Hall of Famer  Mr. Speaker, I join the people of Maple Ridge in congratulating our hometown hero, Larry Walker. There are over 19,000 former major league baseball players. Larry is only the second Canadian to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Larry's family has a long history

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will be speaking in support of the motion and sharing my time with the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan. It is a motion that would not be necessary if public safety had been seriously considered. We are facing a tragic situation, which we simply cannot t

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, why is it that tragic crimes keep happening with criminals on parole? Madam Levesque has paid with her life. What is going on that we are putting our public at risk? Perhaps it is because of the changes the government made to the Parole Board in 2017. It is not just

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, one challenge is that we believe this needs to go beyond the Parole Board examining the Parole Board. There needs to be outside examination by the committee so we can look at what led to this. I would like to bring up a couple of points. The first is the watering d

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is important because lives are at stake. There needs to be a real evaluation of our Parole Board and how criminals are being released oftentimes way ahead of even what the judges have said is not only a minimum sentence, but the minimum time before parole. Therefo

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to make a point regarding the statement that was just made about how rare it is for crimes to be committed during parole and how things are getting better. The Liberals' own records, which the minister has provided, contradict the member's statements.

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, Canada has grounded to a halt because of a weak Prime Minister. The Liberals are kowtowing to a few radical protesters. They are paralyzed. They are legitimizing these illegal blockades that are costing us hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of jobs. In Pit

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I was an MLA for eight years prior to being elected, and today was the first time, as I was telling my colleague who was sitting next to me, that I have been involved in heckling. I was just so infuriated with what I am seeing, with how the Liberals are using indig
