Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the deadline to submit a brief of support to keep Enbridge’s Line 5 open is in just four days. The Canada-U.S. committee unanimously recommended this action, and the Natural Resources Minister said last night that he would take every action diplomatically and legally

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, one thing that is of concern is the assertion on the part of the government that somehow the Conservatives are delaying this. Could the member comment on that?

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, that is exactly the clarification that is needed. However, my worry is that in discussion with several returning officers, who had already been trained on this legislation even before it had been discussed in the House or amended at committee, they are under the impr

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, certainly when it comes to scrutineering and we think about trying to keep six feet of distance, one of the difficulties would be to be able to see the ballot. Are we going to have to do something in terms of hooking up cameras on the process and having viewing scree

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, having those polling stations at colleges and universities improved student turnout. However, I was a bit alarmed when I talked to my own returning officer and heard that they had taken a decision that they were not going to do that in this election. I wonder whether

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her question. The committee heard witnesses speak on long-term care homes. They indicated they would like a shorter voting period, which Bill C-19 does not provide for. I therefore believe that we should make an amendment to provide for as sho

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I think it is a good idea to have more polling stations. Since churches hold services on Sunday mornings, we might have to add some morning time slots, around 9 a.m., or afternoon time slots, around 2 p.m. Those are all things

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, indeed, I sat on the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and listened to testimony from some of our indigenous folks who did raise these concerns and do need to be consulted. That would be a great idea. We know that especially rural and remote places an

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I share the member's concern. Because it is not defined what exactly the electoral officer could do, for health and safety reasons, theoretically they could have the power to do anything at all. That is not good because, definitely as has been pointed out, there are

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, that was one of the things that was written down on my paper that I did not quite get to. This is very important. The signatures are supposed to indicate that there are enough people in the riding who want the person to present themselves as a candidate. That could

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to clarify that we are not at all afraid of having an election, in fact, we look forward to the opportunity to get a strong Conservative majority in this country. However, Canadians need to be listened to and they have been clear that they do not want an elect

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to be here and to recap the brilliant first 13 minutes of my speech in the last six minutes that I have. First of all, with respect to an election in a pandemic, the most important point is that Canadians do not want an election in a pandemic. The m

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I would say, as a scientist, that net-zero is exactly that. It is net emissions. Regardless of the source, there are emissions that are man-made and emissions that are not man-made. That is all the emissions. Then, in the same light, there are absorptions. Net-zero r

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, we have been clear that the punishing Liberal carbon tax does zero to reduce emissions in the atmosphere. It just puts money in the government coffers. Our plan is going to put the money back in the pockets of Canadians, so all together, we can participate in helping

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague is always passionate about this file. It is very sad that the government, with a whole department of climate experts, does not have a plan. It has had six years in government, running on an agenda to do something to address climate change, and it has f
