Absolutely, Mr. Chair. Prime Minister I certainly hope I'm not getting under anyone's skin when I bring up the idea that this looks like an appeasement. We have an obligation as opposition members to get to the bottom of how this negotiation happened. What is in the deal? If we have, on one hand, thetelling us something that was clearly not true, and now on the other hand, he is telling us [more]

I have a point of order.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I have to agree with some of my colleagues that none of these interventions seem to be addressing the motion. We all agree that the Gordie Howe bridge must be open. We all agree on its importance. We all know the facts about the workers and how much steel came from Canada. However, we are discussing the motion, and this appears to me to be an attempt to filibuster [more]

Thank you very much. Prime Minister It's actually a fact that thegave the wrong information and said it was because he had a cowboy hat on. As an Albertan, I spend an awful lot of time every year at the Stampede, and I hope that the hat on my head does not influence my ability to share information accurately. Prime Minister Canadians look at what we are seeing right now, and they are seeing [more]

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I will take a few moments to speak to the motion that has been brought forward by my colleague Mr. Albas. I want to start by saying that, of course, all of us understand the importance of the Gordie Howe bridge. All of us in this room know how important it is that this bridge opened. Absolutely, we do. I want to congratulate all of the workers who built this [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, this week, theclaimed that Trump's war in Iran was “worth it.” Thousands were killed, including schoolchildren. Schools and hospitals were destroyed. Families and entire communities were displaced. Billions of dollars were wasted, and higher energy costs made life more expensive for Canadians who are already struggling. The world is no safer today than it was before [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would also like to take a moment, on behalf of New Democrats, to thank all the people who make the work that we do in the House possible. We all often come here thinking that we are the most important people in this place, and after just a very short amount of time here, we all realize that it is, in fact, all of those who do not stand in the House of Commons, all of those who do [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am so proud today to stand and table petition e‑6783, which was signed by 10,182 Canadians. These Canadians are asking the government to apply the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act consistently for all those Canadian citizens returning from conflict zones. They are asking the Canadian government to initiate investigations and lay charges if warranted, and to co-operate [more]

Mr. Speaker, I also have petition e‑6990. This is a petition that has been signed by over 6,000 Canadians. They are asking the government to amend the Canada Pension Plan act so that any province, including my province of Alberta, would require at least two-thirds of the other provinces to agree with that plan. They are asking for that to be applied because it is similar to other parts of the [more]

Mr. Speaker, more than 3,000 volunteers helped collect over 200,000 signatures from Albertans who are determined to protect our mountains, our rivers and our drinking water from the threat of coal mining. Albertans have spoken loudly and clearly. They know coal mining threatens critical watersheds, harms our wildlife habitat and risks contaminating the water that communities, ranchers, farmers [more]
