Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, does the member really think that Canadians care whose idea it was? It is an amazing idea. I thank him very much for it. Let us celebrate it together. Now I hope the member will vote for it. That was such a ridiculous comment. I know this better than most people.

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, I do not know if the member was sitting in the chamber when his two colleagues just spoke, but neither of them spoke about the bill at all. The reality is that the Conservative Party of Canada does not support Ukraine. The Conservatives can say all they want about

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, the reason Ukraine has had that price on pollution since 2011 is that in order to get into the European market, which it had been trying to do for so long, the European market required that it have a price on pollution in order to stay competitive. That is why Ukra

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, before I get started, I really want to thank the member for Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge for answering my question. He could have tried to skate around it, but he hit it right on. I question the sincerity in his answer, but at least he answered my question. He did not

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, the one thing I did not hear the member talk about was a carbon tax. I know he is a really big fan of the carbon tax, because when he was in the provincial legislature in B.C., he not only voted in favour of it, but he also spoke very highly of it. He said: It me

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, maybe he was a Liberal back then. I do not know. Maybe he could inform me why he is against the carbon tax. Why is he hypocritical?

Ukraine  Mr. Speaker, it has become clear that far right American politics have fully taken over the Conservative Party of Canada. Last June, five Conservative MPs travelled on a lavish trip to London, England, and dined on thousands of dollars' worth of oysters and champagne. We also kn

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Mr. Speaker, it is true, the Conservative Party is the “block everything” party. However, the Conservatives are not even consistent. They delayed with respect to the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement, and suddenly, in the 11th hour, with about a week left, they came up with th

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  I hear the heckling from my Conservative colleagues. Mr. Speaker, Ukraine has had a price on pollution since 2011. As a matter of fact, the only way it could get into the European market was to commit to that. This is nothing more than a red herring. Is the minister concerned t

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, there is no doubt in my mind that the member supports Ukraine to the bitter end. I travelled with him, when I was on the defence committee just after becoming a parliamentarian, to Ukraine to study what was going on there, and I saw his passion and his dedication.

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, this is the first speech from the Conservatives in this debate, and we are talking about the anti-scab legislation the minister has tabled and spoken to. However, this member is talking about something completely unrelated. He is talking about Stellantis, which is re

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I believe if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to allow the member to speak for 18 hours.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. The first is from a number of Canadians who are calling to the attention of the government the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's most recent report, which has warned against repeating temperatures over the next two de

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, the second petition is certainly a lot closer to home. It is being presented on behalf of Collins Bay Public School in Kingston. The individuals who signed this petition are calling to the attention of the government that Canada is the only G7 country without a nati

Fall Economic Statement  Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition tried to excuse himself and his caucus out of the way they voted earlier with respect to the Ukraine free trade agreement. I want to tell him that nobody believes him. President Zelenskyy asked us to vote in favour of this. The Ukrainia
