Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, Nova Scotians are having to choose between heating and eating. A senior on a fixed income in my community told me that last year at the beginning of winter, it cost $850 to fill his home heating tank. This year, with t

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Earlier in question period, twice you referenced a mock title that members are not supposed to use. I know a number of us are confused as to what that may be, so I am wondering if you could clarify what the term is so we do not make that m

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal minister is talking about search and rescue when Canadians cannot put food on their tables. Melody Horton of Bridgewater had to sell her dream home because of the increase in her mortgage costs. She does not agree with these Liberals that they have neve

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, the minister of industry has just admitted that 40 million Canadians are struggling to put food on the table. Eight years of out-of-control spending by the NDP-Liberal government has caused that inflation. This harmful inflation has pushed up inter

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, the member for Sydney—Victoria, with his past comments, speaks for himself and his attitude toward women. That it is tolerated and has been rewarded with a parliamentary secretary spot is just a mystery to me. That aside, on how high the carbon tax can go, I do not

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, here is another example of a Liberal-NDP coalition member who does not listen, does not listen to constituents and does not listen to what anyone in the House says.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, our mutual friend, the late Hon.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, that is a little ironic coming from that member, who has voted 24 times to increase the cost of everything for all of his constituents. On the issue of storms, we have had multiple storms every decade since the 1700s. He should look up the history. Yes, I had fires

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, we believe pollution should be fought. We believe that that should be through technology, not through taxes that do not work. The carbon tax has had zero impact in this country on the rate of carbon emissions. In fact, every year under the government, except for whe

Grocery Industry  Mr. Speaker, the people of Central Nova want to know why that member voted 23 times to increase their taxes and increase the cost of food. After eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, even this Prime Minister's own MPs are admitting that people cannot afford to buy groceries
