Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I will split my time with the strong, new member for Lambton—Kent—Middlesex. In their first call, our Conservative leader urged the Prime Minister to address western alienation and national unity. By failing to even mention it in the throne speech, the Prime Mini

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, it has been half a year and other developed countries have gotten it done. Apparently, elite billionaires on private jets get special treatment when they fly into Canada. When Canadians found that out last week, the public safety minister actually claimed he did not

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, more than six months ago, the Conservatives said the Liberals should shut down the border to block the virus and save Canadian lives. However, now the minister is actually admitting that after they dithered and delayed and did it anyway, they do not have control, or

Government Business No. 10  Mr. Speaker, I absolutely agree. I think the Prime Minister, the cabinet and every Liberal member who enable mix-ups; scandal after scandal; ethics investigation after ethics investigation, which have literally never happened in the history of our country; and who cover for them;

Government Business No. 10  Mr. Speaker, it is huge. It is exactly part of the problem. Albertans cannot understand why the government roadblocks or harms them, yet has billions of Albertans' very own tax dollars that they generated to hand out to the Liberals' buddies, cronies, spouses, family members, hus

Government Business No. 10  Mr. Speaker, I guess that captures the irreconcilable difference we may reach. I would invite the member to come to Lakeland and try that baloney on any one of my constituents. The point I am trying to make is that the sentiment I outlined in my remarks crosses demographics, cros

Government Business No. 10  Mr. Speaker, it has become clear that the Liberals are using the pandemic to shut down accountability and transparency, potentially to usher in big government dependency, while targeted support is not actually getting to Canadians who desperately need it. In over five years, no

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, it is sort of amazing to hear that member talk about gender parity when the women over there, the most competent ones, all seem to get demoted, booted or have to do the king's dirty work. I do not know, but I guess it is all talk. I will split my time with the membe

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the Trans Mountain Pipeline and Expansion Project: (a) what are the revenues generated by the Trans Mountain Pipeline, broken down by quarter, since the pipeline was purchased by the government; (b) what are the operating expenses less loan interest payments to run

Alberta  Mr. Speaker, Alberta has always been a leader on environmental innovation and stewardship. In Canada, Alberta has the most environmentally protected heritage sites. It is the first to have an environment minister for almost five decades. It has the largest connected green space s

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, Teck Frontier is the latest victim of the Prime Minister's plan and policies to phase out the oil sands. The Local Fort Mackay Métis president says it is “a black eye for Canada” and, in his words “What the hell is going on?” However, in 2018, the Bank of Canada alr

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, talking about leadership, Alberta was the first province to have an environment minister. It was the first jurisdiction in all of North America to regulate and report emissions, the first jurisdiction in all of North America to set targets for reductions across sec

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, what is ridiculous is that that member would stand in this House and try to pretend that multi-billion dollar companies making multi-billion dollar, high-risk, capital-intensive, long-term investments actually base their decision on the spot price of oil on a daily

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, that is one of the great myths spun by the left both inside and outside Alberta. If one would actually look at the facts on diversity across the workforce, one would see that Alberta has long been the province with the third most diversified economy in the country.

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project  Madam Speaker, let me say this to my dear friend. As a first-generation, born-and-raised Albertan with a deceased mother from Newfoundland and a father from Nova Scotia, let me tell him that I know very well both what the energy sector in Alberta has contributed to the country, b
