The Environment  Mr. Speaker, while other countries are starting to talk about a green new deal, Canada is already working hard to implement one. We are putting a national price on pollution, we are banning the use of coal power and we are moving to have 90% of our electricity come from non-emitt

Air Transportation  Mr. Speaker, I can assure Canadians that we are putting forward measures to improve the air passenger experience.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, when it comes to subsidies for fossil fuels, we are keeping that promise. Eight out of nine tax subsidies have been removed. We have a plan to get us there before 2025. Of course, there are some complications. For example, some indigenous communities rely on subsidie

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, as I said in my speech, putting a price on pollution and on carbon is one of 50 measures we are putting in place to ensure we hit our climate targets to literally save this planet. What would we do to prevent forest fires? In British Columbia, every summer we dread t

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the member to the House. He represents a riding I used to represent as a municipal city councillor almost 20 years ago. I have to be short, but basically, the Liberal Party of Canada has a plan that will not only ensure we tackle climate cha

Transport  Mr. Speaker, no relationship is more important than the one between the Government of Canada and indigenous peoples. Like our government, the provinces and territories have a lead role in this area. That being said, we recognize the impact these reductions have had on indigenous

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I listened closely to my friend opposite's speech. He was talking a lot about deficits and debt, so I did some quick googling to make sure my numbers were right. The previous Conservative government rang up over 150 billion dollars' worth of debt. The previous Conse

Persons with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, we are focusing on making Canada more accessible, and we are sorry for the situation that happened to this couple.
