Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act Mr. Speaker, the member talked a lot about what this legislation talks about, which is basically report after report. Ultimately, the first report would not be until 2025, which is over a year and a half away. That is when the report would come in to decide what the government ma

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, as my colleague mentioned, the Prime Minister has said, “A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian.” In reality what he has done is to pit a Canadian against a Canadian against a Canadian. The member talked about how it was not equal across the country and about the bi

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for enlightening the government that, if it does not take the tax money from Canadians' pockets, it will not have to give the money back to them. One of the things the government has never thought about because they do things on the spur of th

Finance Mr. Speaker, I have a news flash: While Canadians across the country struggle to make ends meet right before Christmas, the Liberals are making it worse as food and home heating costs continue to rise. The Prime Minister's inflationary spending has caused a cost of living crisis

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner. I am very grateful to have an opportunity to speak to today's opposition day motion, because it is an issue that has been affecting the constituents in Souris—Moose Mountain significantly

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I find it quite interesting that the member takes this avenue when he truly understands that everybody, every Canadian who buys any food, pays the carbon tax. On top of that, every Canadian pays GST on that carbon tax, which amounts to millions and millions of doll

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member's very reasonable question. While I might respond that, a lot of times, I see the Bloc making issues that deal strictly with Quebec as opposed to all of Canada, his comment about Bill C-234 is very appropriate. I recognize that Bloc members

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, showers sometimes do not hang high enough. I have talked with the member in the past about her being from a farm in Saskatchewan, and it is great to see that. Ultimately, the government said that it called in the producers and the business to come, and look what h

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's speech and his comments recognizing the huge impact this has had on the agriculture industry, which is the backbone of my riding.

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, throughout the conversation, we have taken a look at our farmers and the huge operating cost increases we have seen. They have increased 21.2% in just 2022 alone, which is a huge increase, and that cost gets filtered down to people. I would be interested to hear fr

Carbon Tax Mr. Speaker, farmers work tirelessly to feed Canada and the world with some of the highest quality produce available, yet the NDP-Liberal government continues to punish them at every turn. Instead of giving them a much-needed break on the carbon tax through common-sense measure

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, my colleague pointed out a very important fact that a lot of Canadians do not hear about, and that is the reality that there is GST on the carbon tax. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has clearly stated, as the member pointed out, that over half a billion dollars

Carbon Tax Madam Speaker, after eight years of the Liberal-NDP government, Canadians can no longer afford to pay the price of the Prime Minister's incompetence. His carbon tax is set to increase yet again on April 1, and guess who is going to have to pay for it? It will be the farmer who wo
