Mr. Speaker, oftentimes in the House when we talk about these subjects, the common response we get from the members opposite is, “What would Conservatives cut?” I am curious if the Leader of the Opposition would like to expand on the Conservatives' exact approach to practising fiscal restraint, which we desperately need in this country right now.
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, thetalks about making Canada an energy superpower, yet he continues to stand in the way. Strathcona Resources has a proposal to ship up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day by rail to Prince Rupert, with exports to overseas markets to begin in as little as two years. The railway already exists. The company is ready to pursue the project. What is missing is to
Mr. Speaker, I can certainly relate to many of the things my colleague talked about with respect to things he hears from Canadians, including people in his riding. We are talking about relief at the pumps. I also talked to a lot of small and medium-sized business owners in the beautiful riding I represent, and they are also talking about the impact that increased diesel prices have on their
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business recently produced a report that talked about the entrepreneurial drought in this country, with more businesses closing than opening. The results are that the Liberal policies are not supporting small and medium-sized businesses. That is not my opinion; that is just the reality. These are the measures that we as Conservatives believe
Mr. Speaker, the member opposite is certainly welcome to visit my riding at any time. It is a beautiful riding. What is equally frustrating is when we speak up for Canadians and tell their stories, and then the Liberals tell us we are playing silly partisan games. I find that equally frustrating. There are many components of fuel prices that we can control and that the federal government can
Mr. Speaker, yes, the fishing industry is extremely important to Newfoundland and Labrador. The food fishery is another component of Newfoundland and Labrador that is extremely important. These are costs that are directly impacting these operations. Ultimately, that means that fishers cannot hire more people for their operations to expand the fishing industry. They cannot invest in new equipment.
C-38 Mr. Speaker, it is always an honour and a pleasure to rise on behalf of the wonderful people of Long Range Mountains. I rise today to speak today to Bill. Conservatives will always support measures that leave more money in the pockets of Canadians, but we should also be clear about how we got here. In April Conservatives brought forward a motion calling for federal taxes on gas and diesel
Mr. Speaker, if those programs were working, residents from her constituency would not be reaching out to me asking me— Some hon. members: Oh, oh! Carol Anstey: Mr. Speaker, Canadians are paying roughly 24¢ per litre more for diesel than Americans and 31¢ more than the global average. The government cannot control conflicts overseas, but it can certainly control taxes and barriers that it
Mr. Speaker, how out of touch was that? Diesel in Deer Lake has reached $2.77 a litre. Michelle, a farmer in Cormack, expects her diesel bill to reach a staggering $135,000 this year, up nearly 56% since 2024. Diesel costs for farmers, fishermen and truckers mean higher grocery bills for Newfoundland and Labrador families. energy minister Will thesupport our Conservative emergency fuel relief
Mr. Speaker, oftentimes, the Liberals like to take Conservative ideas and go part of the way, but they do not want to go all the way. I would suggest that they approve of our opposition day motion so we can provide real relief for Canadians. Instead of taking half measures on Conservative ideas, I would encourage them to support our opposition day motion, if they are really serious about the
Mr. Speaker, I can certainly relate to those stories because I have farmers reaching out to me consistently, all the time. It would provide immediate relief if we eliminated all those taxes right now. They desperately need it. As I talked about in my speech today, when our farmers are paying a 48% increase from just two years ago on diesel, which is so much a part of their operations' direct and
Mr. Speaker, I do not think there is any misunderstanding about how much I advocate for the people in my riding and in this country. I find it a bit rich that the member opposite gets up and attacks me for fighting and advocating for Canadians. If we had not put the pressure on, absolutely the Liberals would not have cut the taxes on gas. Yes, we will take credit, and yes, we will continue to
Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague could articulate the direct, but also the indirect, costs to farmers of diesel and what that means to their farms. I know he knows the space very well.
