The Economy  Mr. Speaker, we value the role that farmers play in this country in providing food for our tables. However, if we want to talk about making sure that life is affordable for Albertans and Canadians for the long term, where are the 29 colleagues of that member of Parliament from th

Employment  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend and Alberta colleague, the MP for Calgary Skyview, for his strong advocacy. Workers are at the heart of Canada's prosperity, and the Canadian sustainable jobs act would ensure that together we can grow the economy and create good, middle-cl

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, once again, I appreciate my colleague's question and I am sympathetic to the plight of temporary foreign workers in Canada. That is why we have improved the quality of employer inspections. We need to work with organizations that support migrant workers here in Canad

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. Temporary foreign workers come here to work temporarily in fisheries, agriculture or other extremely important sectors like tourism. I should note that the current program is not the same program that existed under the Har

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I will share what Canadians and Albertans care about, and that is the Canada pension plan. After three weeks of silence on behalf of the Conservative leader, finally a comment on Danielle Smith's idea to take Albertans out of the CPP, a weak, timid response at that

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Lac‑Saint‑Louis for his question. The bill in question will accelerate the construction of housing across Canada, thus creating quality jobs. Investing in housing helps build strong communities. Once again, the Conservatives

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I find it highly shocking that Albertans from the Conservative Party in the House are absolutely silent on a matter that really affects the middle class in Alberta. We are talking about the Government of Alberta trying to take Alberta pensioners out of the Canadian p

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, it really is shocking that Conservatives are claiming to be on the side of Canadians and helping them with affordability when their very allies in the Alberta government in the UCP are trying to take the pension plans of Albertans out of the Canada pension plan to ha

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, as my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois know very well, this year we passed Bill C‑13 to modernize the Official Languages Act, including new regulations for federally regulated companies. We will do what it takes to ensure a francophone presence from coast to coast.

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, congratulations on your new role in the House. This year we are celebrating the modernization of the Official Languages Act, but we must also set the record straight and talk facts. The principle of bilingualism is a fundamental principle of both our country and our

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, let me be really clear. I have emails today from Brent, Eva and Ryan, all seniors in Edmonton Centre, and many emails beyond that, imploring our government to make sure that the Premier of Alberta keeps her hands off Albertans' pensions that are in the CPP. Just on p

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Calgary Skyview for the incredible work he does every day for Albertans. This summer alone, our government invested more than $300 million in over a dozen great projects, powering over 100,000 homes and giving thousands of good-pa

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, residents of Edmonton Centre, indeed Albertans across the province, wrote to me about the fact that this summer, like so many summers before, they could not breathe the air because of forest fires. What do the Conservatives want to do? They want to cancel the child

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, what is reckless is the Conservative ideology that somehow pausing renewable projects is a good strategy. People in my riding and in our province want us to lean in. They want clean electricity. They want reasonable electricity. They want hydrogen plants. They want

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, let me and the government be very clear: Canadians, including Albertans, value the Canada pension plan. Every single Edmontonian and every single Albertan I have spoken to on this issue, including through email in my inbox this very day, says it is about the Governm
