John-Paul Danko

Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity to visit the port in Trois-Rivières last winter. There is so much opportunity within Canada to expand and also gain efficiencies in the port system. As I said, one of the things I am the most excited about is getting trade traffic, which right now is putting goods onto transport trucks and clogging up the 400 series highways between Windsor and Montreal, onto [more]

Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is obviously a champion for the environment. We very much respect that. My understanding is that a lot of the Canadian oil and gas being shipped to Asia is being used to make the physical products we use. It is not being burned for energy. Carbon is not being released into the atmosphere. I do agree that we have so much opportunity beyond just the oil and gas [more]

Mr. Speaker, maybe this is a bit of a misalignment of ideologies. On this side of the floor, we believe in Canada, we believe in Canadians and we are proud of Canadian businesses. I am amazingly proud of and optimistic about the opportunities we have, especially in Hamilton, being that it is an industrial hub, and the opportunity to realign our economy the way we have to based on the threat we [more]

Madawaska—Restigouche Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for. First, I would like to wish the Westmount Wildcats senior football team a successful season opener. I thank Coach Tom Pain, all the teachers and the coaches for everything they do to provide the young men this wonderful opportunity to compete in the fall football season. It is an honour to rise on behalf of the [more]

I move to adjourn.

I thought it was on Tuesday.

Thank you. I have a follow-up question for Mayor Small. I don't have a lot of experience with federal surplus lands, but I do have quite a bit of experience with surplus school properties and surplus municipal properties and building those, for adaptive reuse, into housing projects. One of the challenges, as you know, when we're talking about wraparound services—and I think we've just heard [more]

Thank you, Chair. To start my remarks, I'd like to thank MP Hirtle for bringing this important issue forward and using all the levers available to her to try to find a solution for the community that works for everyone. As the mayor said, I think it could be a really positive space in the community for veterans. It's something the community can be proud of, and it can also provide important [more]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I note that you made the trip from Edmonton for this meeting in Ottawa. It's very appreciated that you did that. I appreciate the discussion this afternoon. I'll note that the sitting members of the government operations and estimates committee from the opposition are present, and there are alternatives filling in today. We had the former member for Carleton grace us with [more]

Thank you, Chair. I appreciate this opportunity to talk about some really good news for Canada, which is, of course, the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. It brings extremely significant economic uplift and new trade opportunities for Canada and the United States. Of course, this bridge is not about toll revenue. It's never been about toll revenue. It's always been about building [more]

Mr. Chair, can I request that we suspend for a minute? We haven't had this provided in advance, and we'd like an opportunity to have a quick discussion before we proceed with the rest of the meeting.

Prime Minister I have a point of order, Chair. The member is assigning motive to the. That is unparliamentary.

Leader of the Opposition Prime Minister If we're talking about the amendment on the table and the impacts of the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge on businesses and workers, I'm going to go back to the comments from Premier Doug Ford in Ontario, who understands this issue very clearly and obviously had a much clearer understanding than the. He said that this agreement will allow [more]

Thank you, Chair. I think my big take-away from this discussion today and from previous discussions we've had about Canada Post is that all parties agree on the importance of Canada Post to Canadians. I'm thinking about that in the current context of getting information to everyone in the country in a way that is trusted and that you know it is going to be delivered. If you think about it, with [more]
