Income Tax Act  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague. This is amazing. The first time I heard about this problem was in the last Parliament when I was serving on the finance committee. There is a fair bit of farmland in Edmonton Manning, and people there have concerns all the time about th

Support of Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, I was expecting a question regarding the bill and the importance of this industry, but the member chose to ask me this question. Our leader has put forward a very comprehensive plan that is going to make a difference in dealing with climate change and the challeng

Support of Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, we are celebrating the hundreds of billions of dollars this industry contributed to building Canada and Canada's economy over the last decades. This industry is still going to be a factor in rebuilding after COVID and dealing with climate change in the future. Eco

Support of Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, as I said in my speech and in some of the answers to questions, there is no way to think beyond this other than to support and give this industry what it deserves. For members who have not had a chance to visit and understand how the industry performs in Alberta,

Support of Oil and Gas Sector  moved: That: (a) in the opinion of the House, the government should recognize that, (i) replacing oil and gas with more environmentally sustainable options is not technologically or economically feasible, (ii) Canada’s energy needs require the use of oil and gas to hea

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, during our international trade committee meeting, I was appalled to hear from our life sciences industry about the lack of consultation and coordination by the Liberal government. As the pandemic began and worsened, contracts worth millions of dollars were signed o

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, it is very funny expecting the opposition to offer this to the government. Imagine this, a reverse action of legislation and of doing the job. I said at the end of my speech that the government needed to take responsibility. It needs to stand like proper managers, l

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, what is fascinating is that the Bloc Québécois cannot pull out any magic with the government, as it has been doing here and there to pass and serve the Liberal government on bills and other legislation. To see a bill that is incomplete is something I spoke about in

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, I have spoken in support of our students. We have great universities in Edmonton, in Alberta in general, and the support has to be there. The problem is that the government speaks loud but does nothing. It never walks the talk. It just wants to get the votes of the y

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with my colleague, the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan. I am not sure if any of our colleagues from either side of the chamber remember, but I spoke to Bill C-14 in February while the bill was still at second reading. I am not going to repe

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I have two petitions signed by Edmonton Manning residents as well as many other Canadians. One petition has 59 signatures and one has 47 signatures. They both state, whereas extensive evidence points to 14 key officials and former officials of the Chinese Communist

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, if by chance the Liberals intend to have us continue business here, in a few weeks I will be presenting a motion to support Canada's energy workers, my constituents and all Canadians. When we support our oil and gas industry, it generates billions of dollars in tax r

Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, of course, the University of Alberta campus is in her riding, and there are many students there. The member is absolutely right. We have seen virtue signalling from day one by the government. The Liberals make those big announcements, but, again, there is no substa

Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, again, we are facing the same symptoms. All these announcements are in place, but there is really no timeline for any of them to be me. This is just another sign of virtue signalling by the government. The Liberals are preparing for an election and they are not going

Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, when there is no substance in what the government is doing and how the government has been handling this whole thing, how can the Liberals expect anyone to talk about it? There is no substance there for us to talk about. That is what has happened right now. The Lib
