Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, a couple of Kinder Morgan executives must be laughing today. The two top executives responsible for the Trans Mountain expansion each pocketed $1.5 million in bonuses. That adds up to $3 million in bonuses alone. That is absolutely ridiculous. Even now, the Prime M

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, for a government that claims that no relationship is as important as its relationship with indigenous peoples, I suspect it might be embarrassing to purchase a pipeline and force it on the people despite strong and growing opposition from indigenous communities. In f

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, after months of paralyzing uncertainty, the U.S. president has decided to impose punitive tariffs on our aluminum and steel industries claiming that our exports threaten national security. Thousands of Canadian jobs are in jeopardy and we have had enough of Donald Tr

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, sadly, the minister obviously did not hear the question from the House leader of the official opposition. There has been absolutely no consultation on allocating time on Bill C-74. This is the fifth time that the Liberals are imposing closure in three days. This is u

Export and Import Permits Act  Mr. Speaker, it is very frustrating to see that we are here again debating time allocation on a bill. This is the fourth time we have had time allocation or closure in the last two days. In the last little bit, I think we were up to 36 or 37 time allocation motions proposed by th

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, apparently a close friend and advisor of the Prime Minister once advocated for the elimination of our supply management system. The really bad news is that this advisor is now playing an important role in renegotiating NAFTA on behalf of the Liberal government. That

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, Kinder Morgan Canada has avoided paying its fair share of taxes. The result? Kinder Morgan Canada has only paid 0.004% of what they should have paid over the last three years. That is over $180 million of tax avoidance. Now the Liberal government wants to use Canadia

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister wants all Canadians to take on all of these risks and then give this company all of the profits. That is not fair and that is not balanced. The Prime Minister promised to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. What has he done? Nothing. Instead he is o

Democratic Reform  Mr. Speaker, it is hard to trust the Liberals. We are all gathered here to represent our constituents and make their voices heard in Ottawa. Do the Liberals realize what they are doing by curtailing the debate on the electoral reform bill? Do they understand the irony of the si

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General has been clear. The Liberals do not have a plan to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. How does the government defend itself? It discredits the Auditor General's work and says that he does not know what he is talking about. Can the Liberals tell us

Elections Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I just want to say it is infuriating, it is disgusting, that we are debating time allocation on this bill. I remember. I was here in 2014 when we had the debate on the unfair elections act. The Liberals were with us. We talked about how we were infuriated and appa

Democratic Reform  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Liberals said that they were open to working with the opposition parties. Today, they are threatening to curtail debate on the election bill. They are doing exactly the same thing as Stephen Harper did in 2014. Is this real change? I do not think so.

Democratic Reform  Mr. Speaker, after promising to make amendments to the Canada Elections Act, the Liberals waited until the last minute to table them. Worse still, when they were in opposition, they criticized the Conservatives for limiting the number of debates on electoral reform in the House

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the plot thickens in the Kinder Morgan saga. Not only are shareholders asking for more information about the project's environmental standards, but we have learned that Kinder Morgan had direct access to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Natural Resources to mov
