Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we always have to review what works and what does not work. We should actually build on the mistakes and make things better. That is what a Conservative government would do. We learn from previous mistakes and build upon them. That is one thing the Liberal governmen

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is nice to see another member of the Liberal Party stand up to ask a question because this Parliament is broken, and only two members of the Liberal Party usually ask questions. The rest sit there. I give him credit for doing that, and I thank him for his comment

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, he is asking me to fix mistakes from the past. I cannot not spend the money the Liberals have already spent, but what I can do is do the right policy things that make our economy function in a fashion that will allow businesses to grow and prosper and families to be

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, one needs to look through the whole equation. Yes, they have had huge profits, but they are also paying out huge dividends that go to pension funds, and to communities in the surrounding areas and right across Canada. They pay for health care, roads and bridges. That

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is nice to see you acknowledge the member for Prince Albert to get up to speak in front of members today about the state of the Canadian economy and just how broken things are here in Canada. Before I get started, I have to do one special thing. It is my annivers

Income Tax Act  Mr. Speaker, I think this is such a great motion. There are so many times when we come to the House of Commons and listen to a lot of speeches that have zero impact for the people on the ground back in the riding. This is one example where it actually does have an impact back in

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's carbon tax has had a devastating effect in my province of Saskatchewan. On April 1, the carbon tax will increase the cost of fuel an additional 14¢ a litre. My constituents tell me their heat and hydro costs are already unaffordable. A typica

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, the new Conservative leader will put the people first: their savings, their paycheques, their homes and their country. After years of government mismanagement and the Liberal-made backlogs, it is time to get the gatekeepers out of our immigration system. Rural Cana

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, there are quite a few. Quebec has a strong agricultural base. It has some strong marketing boards. It has some great farmers and agricultural operations. Using more local food is definitely one of the options, when we can provide it from the farmyard to the grocery

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, again, it shows why there are no Green members elected in Saskatchewan, because they are not in touch with the agriculture community in Saskatchewan. If the member is concerned about what is going on in the Port of Vancouver, I am too. When they are ranked second

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I think the hon. member has a hearing problem because our leader did not say that at all. In fact, he said the total opposite. He said that there were different ways to attack climate change.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, he talked about nuclear energy as one example. I heard it right here in the House. Therefore, if we want to look at different options and alternatives, we should at least have an open mind to consider them. When the member talks about the Canadian Wheat Board or t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we are going to vote in favour of this motion I will repeat again. The member has probably heard it 30 other times today. Did I say it clear enough? I have reservations and concerns. My concern is that the NDP have prejudged the outcome before the committee has ha

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. It has been an interesting day of listening to everybody talk about Bill C-31 and the reasons for the increase in the price of food. Going back to Saskatchewan to the

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I listened to my friend from New Westminster—Burnaby, and it just shows a sad attempt at relevance. The NDP is not even relevant enough in Saskatchewan to be invited to a Saskatchewan NDP convention, because it is not viewed any longer as a credible NDP party. In
