Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, our farmers in rural communities continue to find themselves at the losing end of the Liberal government's failed policies. The Liberals are giving large industries a pass on their costly and ineffective carbon tax, but there is no exemption for our farmers. Our far

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, let us talk about being out of touch. My constituents are sick and tired of having the Liberal government's hands in their pocketbooks. That is the reality of this. Debt and deficits are growing. Interest and inflation rates are rising. Billions of dollars in invest

Christmas  Mr. Speaker, over 2,000 years ago, three wise men spotted a bright star in the sky. Bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, they travelled to the little town of Bethlehem. There they found God's greatest gift to humanity, and all these years later, the magnitude and the m

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to table a petition signed by my constituents who are concerned about the alarming increase in crime rates in our rural communities. These petitioners are concerned about their safety and that of their families, friends and communities. The petitioners

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' plan is actually punishing Canadians for heating their homes, driving their kids to dance practice, hockey practice, wherever their daily routines are taking them, and the Prime Minister is failing to help Canadians get ahead. His carbon tax will cost t

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to participate in today's debate on Bill C-420, an act to amend the Canada Labour Code, the Official Languages Act and the Canada Business Corporations Act. At the outset, it is important that as we debate the bill it should be with the intent of stri

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the only plan is to tax Canadians until there is no more money in their pockets. The Prime Minister has inherited a great family fortune. Canadians pay their own bills. Every dollar counts when they are managing their family finances. They are already paying for thi

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is not being up front with Canadians. Government documents reveal that the Liberals have a plan to hike their carbon tax 15 times higher than it is today. That is an annual $5,000 carbon tax for all Canadian families, including those families that

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to table a petition signed by my constituents who are gravely concerned with the alarming rate at which rural crime is increasing in our communities. These petitioners are concerned about their safety and the safety of their families, friends and neighb

Justice  Mr. Speaker, I know Canadians would have more confidence in our system if the Prime Minister would just let the former attorney general speak. The SNC-Lavalin scandal has yet again shone a light on the government's ethical failures. The former attorney general's testimony detail

Justice  Mr. Speaker, with detail after detail, the SNC-Lavalin scandal has shocked Canadians. Every step of the way, the Prime Minister has acted like someone with something to hide. His story has changed multiple times, and he has pointed his finger in every direction. The former atto

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I want to apologize as well. I believe I voted twice on this matter, with the confusion in the House these past couple of days and the confusion regarding who is allowed to speak and who is not allowed to speak. I would like my vote to stand as yes, and let her spe

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, it has been almost a month since China first blocked canola imports from a Canadian company. Since then, another company has had its licence revoked and China has ceased all purchases of Canadian canola. We know that Canada produces the highest quality of canola in t

Justice  Mr. Speaker, it seems like we are hearing new truths coming every day which would warrant the justice committee to investigate further. Liberals are saying that there is nothing new on this SNC scandal, but last week we heard substantial new evidence from the former attorney gene

Justice  Mr. Speaker, it sounds like a bunch of fake transparency to me. The SNC-Lavalin scandal has once again exposed the Prime Minister's ethical bankruptcy. New evidence provided to the justice committee confirms this. The only reason the Liberals are upset about the recording submit
