Supplementary Estimates (A), 2019-20  Mr. Chair, is the minister responsible for ferry acquisition?

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I listened to the speech by my hon. colleague, and it seems he subscribes to the former minister of the environment's rule that if we speak loudly enough, people will believe us. Let me say this. My province of British Columbia is the largest producer of softwood.

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Madam Speaker, let us be very clear. This is not a tanker ban; this is a product ban. This is geared solely toward the products that are developed and produced in Alberta. Thirty-five first nations have signed on to share in $2 billion of equity. What is the government's plan fo

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Mr. Speaker, there are approximately 1,400 inbound tankers on the west coast per year. Conversely, there are about 4,000 tankers on the east coast per year. When can Canadians expect the same type of moratorium on the east coast from the transportation minister?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I want to welcome our hon. colleague to the House. This is the first time I have had a chance to address him. However, I believe he flew here. I do not think he walked here. Therefore, my challenge is that as we move away from fossil fuels, what are we going to go to

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, our hon. colleague is being disingenuous. British Columbia has the highest fuel prices in all of North America.

Fisheries Act  Order, please. I ask the hon. colleague to direct his comments to the Chair. The hon. member.

Forestry Industry  Mr. Speaker, last night, I received more notices of job losses and mill closures in my riding in northern B.C. The Liberals' inaction on softwood and their failed policy is leading to thousands of job losses right across our province of British Columbia We already have the highe

Fisheries Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comment from my hon. colleague, but I will again offer this. At committee, when officials, academics, environmentalists and scientists were pressed, there was not one piece of evidence that the 2012 changes to the Fisheries Act by the former Conserva

Fisheries Act  Mr. Speaker, our colleague from North Okanagan—Shuswap is former president of the Canadian Wildlife Association. Our colleague from Red Deer—Lacombe is a former Parks employee and I believe has a degree in zoology. Our former colleague on the fisheries committee, the member for D
