Government Orders
Mr. Speaker, I want to express how disingenuous it is for Canadians to believe that Conservatives do not support tax cuts. Conservatives support tax cuts all the time and everywhere. The issue is always that the Liberal government never goes far enough. There is always a poison pill in the legislation, and we just cannot let these things pass. The Liberals have been very voracious with announcemen…

Madam Speaker. I would like to thank the member for Edmonton West. That is supposed to be a joke. The Prime Minister does not buy his own groceries, so of course he does not notice when the cost of beef jumps 34% or the cost of infant formula climbs 9%, but I do, and so do families in Bow River, who are skipping meals so that kids can eat. We do not need lectures. We do not need spin. They need re…

Madam Speaker, I am not sure whether the Prime Minister does his own grocery shopping yet or not, so maybe that is why he still thinks that food prices are just fine. Let me walk him through this. My wife and I, with two carts, spend many dollars at Costco. Beef strip loin is up 34%. White rice is up 14%. Coffee is up 9%. Sweet potatoes are now a luxury. I have not even talked about strawberries. …

Mr. Chair, it has nothing to do with building a pipeline for four times the original cost. It has everything to do with the projects that were stalled and that did not happen because of the actions of the Liberal government. Again, can the minister tell us if there is any other G7 country that has this kind of an internal cap on production?

Mr. Chair, I would like to again congratulate all members of the House for joining the 45th Parliament. I have some questions for the Minister of Transport. Can the minister tell Canadians how much investment has fled Canada since the production cap on oil and gas was announced?
Read full speech →Government Orders
Mr. Chair, this is a transport project. Quite obviously, everything related to the oil and gas industry is involved in transport. Investment has fled the country because of the production cap on oil and gas, so transportation is not happening. Does the minister know how much investment has fled the country?

Mr. Chair, the TMX was four or five times the cost of the original private enterprise, but be that as it may, I will move on a bit. Can the minister tell Canadians if any other G7 country has imposed a cap on its own internal or external energy production, or is the Liberal government uniquely short-sighted?

Mr. Chair, in the interest of transporting more product from the production of oil fields in Alberta, Saskatchewan, B.C. and everywhere else, when will the Liberal government scrap the job-killing oil and gas production cap?

Mr. Chair, let us move on a bit. How much money has Canada lost because of the Liberal government's tanker ban on the west coast?
Read full speech →Government Orders
Mr. Chair, this is intimate to transport. The ban is on Canadian territorial waters, internal waters on the west coast. This has impacted the economic circumstance of Canada. How much money has the country lost because we do not allow tankers on the northwest coast?

Mr. Chair, we just had an election, but we had a decade of the government being involved in this sort of thing. I will move on to the next question. Why is it okay for tankers to bring oil into the east coast?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and extend my congratulations to the Brooks Bandits on being crowned the 2025 BCHL champions. This remarkable achievement is a true testament to the hard work, discipline and dedication that each player, coach and staff member has poured into this season. By winning the Fred Page Cup, they have not only earned a championship but have …

Mr. Speaker, one of the axioms we have in the industry is that we always measure future behaviour by past performance. We have not been able to develop our energy infrastructure from coast to coast to coast, and there is a lack of corridors and pipelines. I wonder if the member could comment on how we will be able to develop our energy infrastructure from coast to coast to coast.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate you on taking the chair as Deputy Speaker. That is a fantastic thing, and it is well deserved. I rise in the House today with humility and purpose. I stand here with a promise. It is a promise that shaped my family across generations, which is that if we work hard, raise our family and love our country, we will be free to live in dignity and peace. I am th…

Mr. Speaker, I take some offence to the member opposite's allusion to my patriotism. Canada is the country that my family came to by choice, for a future. It was very deliberate. It was Canada or Australia, and they chose Canada, and that is the blood that flows through my veins. I think the problem is that the government is failing on the promise to deliver to the people. We want a society that i…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister says that half of Canada's oil needs to stay in the ground, and now he is backing that up with a production cap that the Parliamentary Budget Officer says will kill 54,000 jobs and gut $20 billion from our economy. This keep-it-in-the-ground agenda does not just kill paycheques; it also makes us more dependent on foreign oil. It weakens our economy and punishes Albe…

Mr. Speaker, I am a little remiss in not thanking former MP Martin Shields for all his support and the duty and the service that he gave in the seat that I now occupy. I will pass on the wishes from the member. Let me be clear: I want a strong and united Canada. Albertans want a strong and united Canada. However, unity is not something that can be enforced from the top down; it has to be earned th…
