Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, we might actually listen to a unanimous consent motion from the NDP House leader if he had any honour to follow through on some of his promises.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, what I would love to do this summer is to go on a rural tour in Manitoba with the member and ask all the farmers there how they feel about the carbon tax costing the agricultural producers of our country $1 billion in 2030, and if they think that would be fair. I

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to join with this member and say we should pass it right now with unanimous consent. Then it can go back to the Senate and we can get the relief our producers need. One more thing I would like to say about the Liberals' rebate program is this. They sa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree with the member opposite. The premiers of Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta have all written the Prime Minister to ask for a meeting. Adding our voice to support those premiers is something the House ha

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am very much looking forward to hearing the speech by my colleague, the member for Yellowhead, and I will be splitting my time with him. It is my pleasure to join the debate on our official opposition motion to have the Prime Minister take the time to meet with

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the one question I would ask of my hon. colleague is this: Do Liberals not understand that the rebate that they are bending over backward trying to explain and that they are giving to Canadians, is Canadians' money already? They would not have to give a rebate to

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague has a way with words that just makes me want to go to church. He is very, very good. My question for him is this. The Liberals continuously twist themselves into a pretzel trying to tell Canadians that the rebates match the carbon tax they have paid,

Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act  Madam Speaker, it is true that things would have been done very differently if there had been a Conservative government that had the opportunity to govern during the pandemic. Perhaps people would have been able to go to funerals. I know other countries did take a different appro

Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act  Madam Speaker, the member said that was provincial and I hear that, but I remember we lost my uncle. At my uncle's funeral, when we listened to the eulogies, I listened to them in the truck, because there were only a few people allowed in the church. I believe Canadians never wan

Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to join this debate on this private member's bill, Bill C-293. There are a lot of conversations going around now about how a different approach to the pandemic would have looked. I want to go back a little and talk about how the pandemic did evol

Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague, the current member for Winnipeg North, who is in trouble in his riding, is trying to get in as many words as possible. It is interesting that every time he thinks something is inappropriate, he says “Stephen Harper”. I actually feel quite bad for the

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I ask for a recorded division.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am happy to take to my feet. First of all, I am happy that the member for Kings—Hants found his voice. Obviously, it is nice for him to speak when the front row is not here, so he is allowed to. I am glad they freed him so he got to speak. Secondly, on a more seri

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member talked about electric vehicles and about having options moving forward, and I think doing more for the environment is always possible. They have done very little in their eight years. We see that they are 63rd out of 68 countries in reaching environmenta

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to take to my feet and ask a question in debate today. The member opposite talked about political maturity and doing what one says one would do. Does he realize that he ran on a campaign to never increase the carbon tax past $50 a tonne? That
