Mr. Speaker, last week, hundreds of dump truck drivers hit the roads protesting the rising diesel prices. Diesel powers the trucks that move our goods, the equipment that builds our communities and the farms that put food on our tables. When diesel costs rise, Canadians pay more for everything.

Mr. Speaker, I know residents in the member's riding greatly appreciate the great work that he is doing. I just want to highlight something that happened in my neck of the woods in Abbotsford—South Langley. Diesel prices are so high that truck drivers had a convoy from Abbotsford to Vancouver in the Lower Mainland to make sure they could alert the government about the high prices. Canadians are [more]

Mr. Speaker, that is the reality we see with the government. We do not see the private sector booming, and we do not see private businesses and private entrepreneurs getting involved in Canada. We see our businesses and entrepreneurs going south of the border. We want to make sure that we bring more infrastructure and more projects to Canada.

Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague is completely right. We see again and again that delays are being pushed back. It can be years and years. A one-year project can turn into a five-year project, or a 10-year project, for that matter. This is the problem we see. We do not see the necessities we need to bring forward so that projects can be completed in a streamlined process. That is what we are [more]

Mr. Speaker, the government also claims that it has brought more jobs forward, but the fact of the matter is that they are only government jobs. We do not see this benefiting everyday Canadians. We do not see this benefiting the private sector. We see more complications, and projects being held up and delayed. That is the reality. That is what we have seen after 10 years of the Liberal [more]

Mr. Speaker, it is always an honour to rise in the House to represent the good people of Abbotsford—South Langley. Before I begin to speak on this topic, I want to take the time to acknowledge the B.C. truck drivers' protest on rising diesel prices. The cost of these high prices is affecting their day-to-day lives, and for many, it is basically taking away their power to work. My colleagues and I [more]

Mr. Speaker, this is simple. The current government has been in power for 10 years. Canadians have been suffering for 10 years. If it were time to get stuff done, it would have been done already. That is what the mis-allusion is. The government keeps alluding to the fact that it is going to be helping everyday Canadians, but it is only cutting them short and shortchanging them. We do not see any [more]

Mr. Speaker, a man who saw his neighbour in danger did what any good neighbour would do. He jumped in to help. In responding to the break and enter, he was shot in both legs. A few weeks ago, a community member brought this heartbreaking case to my office. According to the information shared with us, the accused is a repeat offender facing 32 alleged charges, many involving weapons and violence [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to be back for the fall session representing the great community of Abbotsford—South Langley, but today I come with many concerns. I present eight petitions, including hundreds of signatures, on behalf of concerned Canadians regarding the rise in organized crime, extortion, shootings and violence in the Lower Mainland and across the nation. These petitions call on the [more]

Mr. Speaker, just this past weekend, Amanda, from Abbotsford, experienced what she describes as a reoccurring incident. A homeless man broke into her building and stole nearly a thousand dollars' worth of her personal belongings. After reporting the incident to authorities, she was told that the offender would likely be back out later that day. Amanda says that they have subsequently seen the [more]
