Health  Mr. Speaker, we now have two confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Canada. There is still justifiable reason to be concerned about the current measures in place. Health officials stated that there is a likelihood of other cases in Canada. Respectfully, I ask the minister this: W

Health  Mr. Speaker, the national emergency antiviral stockpile was created to ensure that antivirals could be accessed quickly in response to an influenza pandemic. Canadians need to be sure that the government is maintaining enough antiviral drugs to treat people and keep more people f

House debate  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Conservative Party, welcome to the Chair. It is great to see you take your seat. I also congratulate my hon. colleague. Twenty years ago, I was not thinking about coming here, but the member has certainly spent some time in this place. I will adm

House debate  Madam Speaker, congratulations on your role. I congratulate my hon. friend across the way. We did get to spar a bit in the last Parliament, which was fun. However, I was a bit surprised at her speech. We did spar over science quite often. The Speech from the Throne did not menti

Alberta  Mr. Speaker, two years ago, the Prime Minister forgot to mention Alberta in his Canada 150 speech. We were of course offended but did not think it was more than an innocent omission. However, the Prime Minister's actions have lived up to this omission, as it appears he wishes he

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, Conservative members of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities support the committee's report which was just tabled, as transportation corridors are integral to the safe and efficient flow of goods in and out of Canada. However, we felt i

Canada Summer Jobs Program  Mr. Speaker, this is a group that funded terrorism. Just revoke the grant. The Prime Minister put a values test on the summer jobs program targeting groups that did not agree with him. Fast forward to this week, and we find out that the government gave $25,000 to an organization

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I have a comment. This is from Cenovus Energy, a major employer in my home province of Alberta: [Bill C-69] is a devastating blow to the future of the Canadian economy. It's important to stress that our industry has never asked for a free or easy ride. We expect

Government Policies  Mr. Speaker, as shadow minister for infrastructure, I have been travelling across the country. I recently visited the ridings of Malpeque, Charlottetown, South Shore—St. Margarets, Halifax and St. John's East. Many people have told me how much Canada needs a Conservative governme

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, of course we support the child care benefit, because we created the child care benefit on this side of the House. We remember the Liberals' day care plan that never came to fruition. Now they are adopting our plan, at the end of the day. I thank the member opposite

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to stand and ask this question. The original question I asked was on carbon and the reasons we on this side of the House oppose the carbon tax. However, the answer I got back was a lot more of the same empty rhetoric saying that we do not have a plan

Fairness for All Canadian Taxpayers Act  Mr. Speaker, I am thankful to be able to stand and speak on behalf the hon. member for Calgary Rocky Ridge. He is a dear friend, and I believe that this is a very important piece of legislation that he is bringing forward here in the House. It is an honour to speak on it. I woul

Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has let down Canadians who voted for him in 2015. He promised the budget would balance itself. It has not. He promised huge investments in infrastructure. It turns out the money is stuck in Ottawa. He promised real action on climate change. Ins

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals continue to show how out of touch they are with the struggles of average Canadians. Earlier this week, they proudly gave $12 million to Loblaws. That is the same company that is owned by one of the richest families in Canada, the same company that earned
