Mr. Speaker, I am glad my colleague talked about timelines. A Liberal government member spoke earlier in the debate today and talked about the need for diversification of our trade. I think we would all agree, as I certainly do, we need to do that, but that particular member was part of a government that said no to Japan and Germany that wanted our LNG. That would have been an incredible
Mr. Speaker, let me just say at the outset that, having lived and worked in Alberta for 10 years in my private sector career prior to this place and my wife being born and raised in southern Alberta, all Conservatives certainly support a strong Alberta within a united Canada, and I thank the member for her comments.

Mr. Speaker, I would ask the member to compare the situation we saw in Canada 12, 15, 18 years ago under the Conservative government when energy companies were building infrastructure, mining companies were building mines and we were employing thousands of Canadians, to now, which is building at speeds, of course, not seen in generations, but apparently not the case.
Prime Minister C-39 Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the member can comment on the fact that the pattern under thehas been to introduce bills, not just Bill, that have sweeping powers for ministers. There is not a lot of detail in this bill, and it is undermining many things.
C-218 Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to present this petition on behalf of constituents concerned about the expansion of MAID, medical assistance in dying, to Canadians whose sole underlying condition is mental illness. They urge every member of this House to support Bill, because people with mental illness deserve our love and support and the right to recover, not an option for dying.
