It boggles the mind, why the government has so much trouble just doing the right thing.

We remember those who gave their lives and thank all who served.

Their contributions are part of our shared history of service and Remembrance. On November 11, we will stand together to honour all who have served and Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Given the deficit has dislocated from the borrowing needs of government, the fiscal anchor of deficit to gdp is no longer credible.
Instead, a measure tracking the stock of debt and associated expenses such as debt service costs to either revenue or gdp.
Both measures are deteriorating significantly.
Debt service costs will be 41% higher in a few years and will grow as a share of gdp from 1.8-2.2% (a 22% increase)
The government's preference for other numbers hide the true erosion of fiscal capacity and ability to manage a future crisis.

Personally, I believe Afghanistan was wartime service.

My thanks to the Persian Gulf War Veterans for leading the way on this initiative.

Each page carries names. Each name tells a story.

The Books of Remembrance contain the names of more than 118,000 Canadians who died in military service.

What if we could turn wasted heat from LNG and other industrial projects into electricity, while making better use of Canada's energy resources?

That's what my Conservative colleague MP Greg McLean's private member's bill, C-269, aims to encourage.

This bill deserves to be studied in committee so we can explore the potential benefits for both our environment and our energy sector.

If the Liberals want to make Canada an energy superpower, why wouldn't they support giving this proposal further consideration?

[Alex Ruff @AlexRuff17]

Worth the read.

Davis: “This is, in essence, a plan for a plan.”

Nadjibulla: “Notably, the strategy makes no mention of the National Security Council established under the previous government, leaving it unclear who will oversee implementation.”

The Liberals are criticizing Conservatives for sharing clips from Heritage Committee.

Canada is a democracy and Canadians have a right to see what their elected representatives are saying and doing in Parliament.

So yes, I will continue sharing committee clips with Canadians. They deserve to see exactly what goes on in Parliament.
