COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, that answer is ridiculous. Our country has never been more broken, because of the Liberal party's divisive policies toward all Canadians. When kids ask, “Dad, what is a Liberal?”, I will give them a quick answer. It is someone who seems incapable of passing up a cri

Government Business No. 1  Madam Speaker, I listened intently to the debate brought forward by the hon. member for Orléans. She was talking about tax relief for businesses during this time of crisis with the COVID pandemic. I am glad to hear her say that she is listening to members and people across the co

Peschisolido Report  Madam Speaker, it is a joy to rise and take part in this debate. I have a quote from December 31, 2009, that I would like to read and get the member's feedback on. It is a CBC article, which states: ...it's an affront to the citizens of Canada and their purpose in electing memb

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, I have a quick question for the minister across the way. She talked about creating jobs. The Liberals talked about creating a million new jobs in the throne speech, which was very vague on details. Then the minister said it was going to be done through training. The

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to economic recovery in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, I very much enjoy the member for Winnipeg North's spin on how he thinks the proceedings in the House of Commons are going. He lives here quite often and does quite a lot of work. He carries a lot of water for the current Liberal government. I know he takes pride in

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to economic recovery in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, I was here too in 2008 during prorogation, as a staffer, and I know Prime Minister Harper actually spoke to the other leaders when he was talking about prorogation. I know finance minister Jim Flaherty talked to other members across the House to know what they woul

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to economic recovery in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, there are times when we will be able to work together as parliamentarians across aisles and across party differences, and there will be times when we disagree. I think we should respectfully disagree when we have those opportunities, and when we can, we should work

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to economic recovery in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, we have very similar ridings, so I think the best work program we could ever create is to unleash the private sector. The member has pipeline workers in his riding and I have pipeline workers in mine. We should get pipelines built. We should work together. We shoul

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, I do enjoy listening to my colleague from across the way. He has a different aspect and a different take on some things than I do. I learn a lot when he delivers his presentations either virtually or in the House. The member talked about working together, and that t

Resumption of debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to rise and take part in this debate with such an experienced colleague from Prince Edward Island. I was able to see him in action back in 2008 when I worked on Parliament Hill. It is nice to be here with him on the floor of the House.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, former Liberal Dan McTeague recently released a study that revealed the Liberals' new fuel standards, dubbed carbon tax 2.0, would increase home heating costs by 60%, drive up the price of fuel by another 13¢, cost 30,000 jobs and remove $22 billion from our economy.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, this has nothing to do with climate action, and I have figured out what the Liberals' actual priorities are. Today, they posted a job for $90,000 for a storyteller and team lead in the PMO. In the middle of the pandemic, is that your priority? You want a storytelle

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I am sure, if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to table this document, entitled “Storyteller and Team Lead”, reference number PCO20J-021515-000073. I believe it is proof that the government does have a serious job plan. I am su

Government Priorities  Madam Speaker, last week I rose from my seat and took the government to task for hiring a storyteller position in the PMO for up to $90,000 a year. I was mistaken. Today I can correct the record. We recently learned that it was not one but two storytelling positions they desperat

Government Priorities  Madam Speaker, another sad story from the member for Winnipeg North. Here is a true story for the Liberals. In my riding of Regina—Lewvan, the hard-working members of USW Local 5890 at Evraz steel mill are facing layoffs. That means a thousand families will be sitting around th
