Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, the responsibility for the overall direction and management of the House rests with its Speaker. The list of guests invited to an address to Parliament is managed by Parliamentary Exchanges and Protocol. Security within the parliamentary precinct is the responsibilit

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, like my colleagues, I would like to congratulate you on your historic election as Speaker. I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.

Motions for Papers  Mr. Speaker, I ask that all notices of motions for the production of papers be allowed to stand.

Pawan K. Singal  Mr. Speaker, today I would like to pay tribute to the late Dr. Pawan K. Singal, a champion of medical research and education in Winnipeg. Throughout his distinguished career, Dr. Singal was known for his dedication as a researcher, educator, mentor, and community leader. After

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. The COP15 summit held in Montreal was a major triumph for Canada and the planet. We are implementing the agreement that was signed. I am very pleased that the provinces and territories have committed to contributing to our objec

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, the Conservatives campaigned on putting a price on pollution, but what the Conservatives never want to talk about is the cost of climate change. There are 1,600 fires burning in our country at the moment. People from the suburbs of Halifax are being evacuated. The

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, yes, July 1 is a great day to celebrate in Canada. There is another reason to celebrate, because that is the day when the climate action rebate will come out. Those payments will come quarterly. In my home province, it is $1,000 a year, $250 a quarter. It is going

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, it is indeed puzzling that every single person on that side of the aisle supported putting a price on pollution in the 2021 campaign. The member for Wellington—Halton Hills, much admired in this chamber, made it the centrepiece of his Conservative leadership campai

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, let me demonstrate the height of Conservative hypocrisy. The Conservative platform in the 2021 election states, “We recognize that the most efficient way to reduce our emissions is to use pricing mechanisms.” Another excerpt, on the clean fuel standard—

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, this is pretty tough medicine for the Conservatives, but let me quote from page 79 to 80 of the Conservative platform: “We'll finalize and improve the clean fuel regulations to reduce carbon emissions from every litre of gasoline”. That sounds an awful lot like wha

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is just bizarre, because the Conservatives want to take a tool off the table that is going to fight climate change and put more money in people's pockets. By the way, the Conservatives campaigned on a clean fuel standard and on a price on pollution, and they are

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my friend and hon. colleague. I also serve on the environment committee with her. She is an excellent member, and I really enjoyed her speech, which I mostly agreed with. I wonder if the hon. member would reflect and comment on the clean fuel regul

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I enjoy working with the hon. member on the environment committee. We have a good spirit of collaboration there. I would just start by saying that the party opposite campaigned on a clean fuel regulation and a price on pollution. We used to agree. The carbon pric

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we need to do both. The energy transition includes carbon capture, an important technology that is going to allow us to take advantage of our energy resources without the pollution. We need to help with the energy transition, and we need to invest in housing. We h

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, again, I enjoy working with the hon. member on the environment committee. The clean-fuel regulation is just one tool in our tool box. The price on pollution, as the Parliamentary Budget Officer has pointed out, gives back more to eight out of 10 families. It is pr
