Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, that question is very close to my heart. One of the reasons I presented myself as a candidate in the last election was that I felt the Harper government was not doing enough to ensure we were putting in place measures to meet the challenges posed by climate change.

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Montérégie for her question. I represent a riding that encompasses both rural and urban areas.

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, while I would like to thank my hon. colleague for his remarks, I am dismayed. As much as I disagreed with Prime Minister Harper on several occasions, I always referred to him as Prime Minister Harper. I think it is a disgrace that the member just referred to our Prim

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talks a lot about regulation and how that is going to stifle growth.
