March 3, 2022 — Deferred recorded division on the motion of , seconded by , — That the House: |
(a) condemn President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation for their unprovoked, illegal attack and invasion of Ukraine; |
(b) stand with Ukraine, the people of Ukraine and Canadians in the Ukrainian community; and |
(c) call on the Government of Canada to undertake measures to ensure new natural gas pipelines can be approved and built to Atlantic tidewater, recognizing energy as vital to Canadian and European defence and security, allowing Canadian natural gas to displace Russian natural gas in Europe, and being consistent with environmental goals in the transition to non-emitting sources of energy. |
Recorded division — deferred until Monday, March 21, 2022, at the expiry of the time provided for Oral Questions, pursuant to order made Thursday, November 25, 2021. |
December 3, 2021 — — That, given that, |
(i) Canadians deserve climate action, access to low cost, readily available alternatives to high carbon products, and sustainable jobs, |
(ii) energy producers in Alberta are rapidly decarbonizing their production processes and are subject to a 100MT per year emissions cap, |
(iii) Canada allows the importation of high carbon oil and gas from countries like Saudi Arabia that do not have emissions productions caps, |
(iv) this imbalance has the net effect of making Canadians more reliant on high cost, high carbon fuel, and increasing global greenhouse gas emissions, while offshoring Canadian jobs to high carbon producing nations, |
the House call on the government to support Canadian energy sector efforts to decarbonize production, support Canadian energy sector workers, and impose commensurate tariffs on imported sources of carbon energy so that it is not free for polluters outside of Canada to provide energy to Canadians while contributing to rising greenhouse gas emissions. |

December 3, 2021 — — That, given that Canada's economic and trade relations with the United States of America have deteriorated badly, and so far in 2021, Canada has seen the cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline, the threatened shut-down of Line 5, new Buy American rules that exclude Canada from public procurement, trade challenges on the allocation of dairy quota, a doubling of the softwood lumber tariffs, and a $12,500 tax credit for electric vehicles which excludes Canada, |
the House call on the government to: |
(a) abandon its "progressive trade agenda", which has proven ineffective and entirely symbolic; focus instead on Canada's trade interests, the Canada-United States security partnership and renewed cooperation; |
(b) work with the United States to build a North American supply chain resilience strategy, strengthen North American industry and form a common approach towards China; |
(c) develop Canada's rare earth minerals and offer them as a privileged source for North American battery and electric vehicles (EVs), in exchange for being part of the EV tax credit; and |
(d) table documents related to the government's efforts to get an agreement on softwood lumber, and do so within 10 days following the adoption of this motion. |

February 24, 2022 — — That the House: |
(a) acknowledge the extraordinary work of health care workers (including doctors, nurses and orderlies) during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with seniors but also with the general public, and take note of the devastating effects of this pandemic on health care personnel and on patients who have had to postpone care; |
(b) highlight the work of Quebec and the provinces in responding to the health crisis; |
(c) acknowledge that the one-time transfers made during the pandemic in no way ensure the financial sustainability of Quebec and the provinces or the overall sustainability of their health systems; and |
(d) call on the government to significantly and sustainably increase Canada health transfers before the end of 2022 in order to support the efforts of the governments of Quebec and the provinces, health care workers and the public. |

February 24, 2022 — — That the House: |
(a) acknowledge that the rising cost of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to $21.4 billion threatens its viability, overburdens taxpayers, and confirms the difficulty of making interprovincial fossil fuel transportation projects profitable; |
(b) acknowledge that Quebec opposed the GNL Quebec liquefied natural gas transportation project, opposed the Energy East pipeline project, and has shut down hydrocarbon development within its borders; |
(c) acknowledge that the Bay du Nord project, which plans to extract an additional one billion barrels of oil in the marine environment and is to be approved by March 6, 2022, is incompatible with Canada’s commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and |
(d) call on the government to prohibit any new interprovincial fossil fuel development or transportation projects with a view to capping and then phasing out production in Canada. |
