Mr. Speaker, for those who have just tuned in, on the Conservative side, we have just entered the conspiracy TV segment of the show, where conspiracies come left, right and centre. Some are right-wing focused; some are really right-wing focused. Prime Minister Again, we follow the rules here. The minister spoke to this. Thespoke to this. We will always follow the rules on this side of the House.

Mr. Speaker, when it comes to high-speed rail, in particular this high-speed rail, it is a generational and transformational opportunity for Ontario and Quebec, boosting the GDP by up to $32 billion, with 50,000 jobs, and reducing our carbon footprint. The big thing, quite frankly, is that we are listening to Canadians. We are listening to Ontarians and Quebeckers with respect to high-speed rail. [more]

Mr. Speaker, the question was asked yesterday, and the answer was provided many times yesterday. Canada has world-leading rules and regulations when it comes to ethics, disclosure and compliance. All members on this side of the House take that very seriously. The answer yesterday, as the answer is today, was that we follow these rules and we take them very seriously.

Mr. Speaker, we are focused on modernizing the airports. What that means is more investments in those airports. What that means is more service in those airports. That means more jobs in those airports. It also means looking at how things are done now and how they can be done differently in terms of sharing that investment with the regional networks to build up Canada from coast to coast to coast.

Mr. Speaker, what I will say is that when we look at Canada in terms of ethics and when we look at all the other rules and regulations as they pertain to ethics, Canada leads the way. As members of Parliament, all of us here follow them every single day, and we will continue to do so.

Mr. Speaker, I ask that the remaining questions be allowed to stand.

Mr. Speaker, we are about 15 minutes into question period and they have already jumped the shark three times. It is amazing. Prime Minister Our country, again, has the most focused, stringent ethical rules of any nation in the world. We are focused on them every single day. Thespoke about this on several occasions today, and the answer is that we follow the rules every single day. Why? It is the [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canada's air passenger protection rules are designed to protect passengers while recognizing that safety must always come first. Airlines are responsible for making operational and safety decisions and applying regulations appropriately. We expect airlines to apply the rules responsibly and provide passengers with clear, accurate information about flight delays and cancellations.

Mr. Speaker, when we think about transport, what we are doing within the ministry and within the department is build up our human capital and investment, whether it is in the aviation sector, the rail sector or the port sector. When we look at the level and depth of what we are doing, as I said before to one of the last questions, I wish the members opposite would join us.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the many questions on this topic. The reality is that this legislation is not about changing standards; it is about changing processes. That is a key distinction in this legislation. We take on a special duty. Our special duty is to focus on the duty to consult, but deeper than that, the reality is that projects from coast to coast to coast not only need first [more]

Mr. Speaker, what is quite extraordinary is that it probably took the member a week to come up with that question. The reality is he should be talking about Churchill Falls and Bay du Nord. He should be talking about investments in the Atlantic fisheries fund, things that impact Atlantic Canadians in terms of job and affordability. We are building Canada up in Atlantic Canada, taking the lead. It [more]

Mr. Speaker, it has been said time and again, because it is true, that this project is generational and transformative. Let us talk about the numbers: boosting the GDP by up to $35 billion and creating 52,000 jobs. This is not to mention that the environmental footprint is much lower with trains. It is also connecting rural, connecting urban and creating community wealth. That is what we are [more]

Mr. Speaker, I will say what I believe will happen next. It is that we will effectively be involved and leading the way in the space industry. The question we need to ask is this. Does Canada want to build its own sovereign space launch capability, or does it want to remain dependent on others for access? Lastly, the member opposite, whom I have a great deal of respect for, talked about Liberal [more]

Mr. Speaker, the question is not whether Canada should invest in a sovereign space launch capability. The question is, rather, how to develop this capability and the role it will play in strengthening Canada's national defence and, indeed, our economic future. The defence industrial strategy marks a major turning point in how Canada approaches defence procurement, innovation and industrial [more]
