Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2 Mr. Speaker, I do not envy the member's position on the other side of the House with having to stand against his government on the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Apparently, giving his approval, I guess, goes a long way to the Prime Minister, I wish he would have listened to me on energ

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2 Mr. Speaker, that is a hard-hitting question. I have to say that small businesses are hurting enough with the promises they thought they would get from the government, but now a CPP increase is being piled on, and that includes health and dental benefits, too. Small businesses r

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2 Mr. Speaker, it feels like a set-up on that side, too. We were able to pull the infrastructure list of what has been invested in and there are certain things on this list. In Toronto, there is funding for missing sidewalk links. I wonder what the sidewalks look like now. Are peop

Employment Mr. Speaker, last week, Statistics Canada's release was more bad news for Alberta. Last month, unemployment in Alberta rose to a staggering 9%, the highest in a quarter century. The report also highlighted that 14,000 construction jobs were lost last month. The Liberals talk abou

Regional Economic Development Mr. Speaker, my Alberta colleagues and I have spent the last months meeting with everyday Albertans to discuss the worsening job crisis in our province. Their stories are truly devastating. Madeline told us, “I can't afford my mortgage. I feel depressed and forgotten”. Carla sa

Job Losses in the Energy Sector Mr. Chair, I would like to split my time with the hon. member for Calgary Rocky Ridge.

Job Losses in the Energy Sector Mr. Chair, I do not believe I said pipelines are not vital to the workforce. They are incredibly vital. It goes back to our early days here in Parliament where we encouraged the government at the other end to support the energy east pipeline, not to go and build it, but just sh

Job Losses in the Energy Sector Mr. Chair, I thank the member for his excellent synopsis of what is really happening in Alberta. We have a provincial government that feels we are fighting against it. We have a federal government that feels we are fighting against it. Things like carbon taxes are not helping.

Job Losses in the Energy Sector Mr. Chair, I am glad to welcome my colleague from the NDP to the debate. We share the same city. I am glad she has heard from Albertans. The counterpart in her constituency provincially happens to be the premier. I would suggest she has a significant amount of pull on that end.

Job Losses in the Energy Sector Mr. Chair, to whoever is writing the talking points on the other side in the lobby over there, the UCCB, EI, and the carbon tax are not what the debate is about tonight. It is about people who have lost their jobs. The hon. member on the other side of the House seems to have forg
