Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, perhaps it was in the delivery or perhaps it was in the translation, but what I was saying in terms of noise abatement and regional air service is there are mechanisms in place to deal with that. In his local community, the regional airport will have noise abatement rules it has to follow.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I am hearing from one of the colleagues that it is not enough. I, on the other hand, have risen 162 times. Shame on me. I should be getting up a little bit more. I have to be doing my job a little bit more. I get heckles from across the way. I listened to the debate on October 27.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank hon. colleagues for allowing me to be part of this debate on Bill C-52. I have listened intently to the debate. I even went back to listen to the debate of October 27. Some may ask why I did that. I spent about 25 years in aviation and I am keenly interested in the transportation sector.

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I want to ask our hon. colleague why a common-sense amendment to modify the definition of state-owned enterprise to include any company, entity headquartered in an authoritarian state like China could fail? Why would an amendment that seeks to list specific sectors necessary to preserve Canada's national security rather than a systematic approach fail?

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, it is always something when the NDP members stand and slander another member of Parliament, whether it is the leader or another member of the official opposition—

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, in general, Conservatives like elements in Bill C-34. However, we believe that the bill does not go far enough. In the spirit of collaboration, Conservatives put forth 14 amendments and only four were agreed to by our colleagues across the way. It is funny, because the Liberals always say not to worry, that they will work collaboratively across the aisle in committee and will get things done.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, there was a lot of stuff in my hon. colleague's intervention. There were a lot of falsehoods. I sit on the health committee with him, and I have a lot of respect for him as he is a family physician and offers a lot of great insight in our health committee. It is one thing for this colleague to stand up and read the talking points of the Liberal Party very well, but he is an educated man, and I expect him to do better, not just to read the talking points like a clapping seal.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to ask our hon. colleague from Thornhill why she thinks the NDP continues to prop up the Liberal government. Its members propped it up through the SNC-Lavalin scandal, the WE scandal and now the arrive scam scandal. They continue to vote in favour of the carbon tax.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I listened intently to the hon. colleague's intervention from the lobby. In his intervention, he named me, said I was heckling him and then went on to say that I was feeling the pressure. I would ask for the member to stand and apologize for that.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, wow, that was a lot of something. It is interesting that the hon. colleague from Quebec focused all of his attention on the Conservatives. Why is that? It is because he is feeling the heat in his own riding. It is interesting that this member of Parliament voted twice to impose an Ottawa-knows-best carbon tax on Quebeckers.

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, after eight long years of the NDP-Liberal government, Canadians are finding life more difficult each and every day. The tripling of the carbon tax is having a devastating effect. It is raising the cost of everything from gas to groceries to home heating fuel. Canadians are struggling just to get by.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, there was a young member of Parliament at the time, probably a few pounds lighter at the time, who did uncover or discover an issue called the clam scam, where we had a federal minister who decided to award a contract worth millions of dollars to a sitting MP's brother and a former MP, all through Liberal patronage.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, the hon. Premier Furey has stated that he wants this bill and needs this bill to pass, for clarity, for his own well-being. It is our job in this House to clear up any confusion. The Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that Bill C-69 was unconstitutional. Over a third of Bill C-49 includes policy from Bill C-69.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, just to be on record, the Conservatives 100% believe that provincial ministers have a say in what goes on in their neck of the woods. What drives us crazy and creates cause for concern is that there is no responsibility built into Bill C-49 for the government and the regulators to do any stakeholder consultation.

Canada—Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, in June earlier this year, our leader said, “Under my government, we would green-light green technology to allow for our brilliant engineers to invent the technology that will bring about cleaner, greener and more affordable electricity.” What stands in the way of this is duplicitous bureaucracy and the government gatekeepers.
