We've seen the government give out subsidies to companies, those companies turn around and use it for executive bonuses.Collection: Government
When it comes to protecting workers, labour conditions, labour legislation, the rights for collective bargaining, when you look at our environmental standards, when you look at our public disclosure laws and accountability and securities regulations to ensure that companies abide by the law, we don't have a level playing field with China.Collection: Environmental

I think there's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
I have a very inquisitive mind, and I like to know. Like, if somebody uses a term and I don't understand, I always look it up.
I actually think Justin Trudeau's approach to label people who have legitimate concerns with his issues as being un-Canadian and intolerant - that is very dangerous.
When we're the victims of insulting language and attacks, it's obviously going to evoke a response.
The Conservative party believes Canada is stronger for being able to welcome people from all over the world.
Every country in history that has gone down dark paths, where governments take on too much control and really intervene and take away those freedoms, often start with an attack on the freedom to disagree.
Canadians didn't vote for a carbon tax. Justin Trudeau campaigned, promised that he wouldn't create a carbon tax.
The Conservatives win when we have a positive message, an aspirational message.
Whether it's Liberal or Conservative - any time someone has a perspective on what their experience has been as prime minister of the country, it's always interesting.
Obviously, what we had under the original NAFTA was very good. Canada prospered greatly from it.
The government of China has admitted that they've been involved in cyber infiltrations around the world and in governments.
We would never accept a prime minister saying, 'Well, maybe I'll intervene and use a trade issue as a link to an independent investigation into criminal activity.'
No one likes when debate gets stifled, when these events get cancelled, whether it's a former president or prime minister of Israel, whether it's a discussion on a panel.
The foundation of our democracy is the ability to have a debate about any subject. That is why I am so committed to defending free speech.
I will withhold federal funding from universities that shut down debate and can't stand different points of view.
I support the need for Canada to play a significant role in reducing global emissions.
Part of what the carbon tax does is make Canada less competitive.
Our position is that we believe that Canada has to have a comprehensive plan to significantly reduce global emissions.
The fact that the Liberals killed Energy East - a pipeline that would have brought Western Canadian energy to the Maritimes - that is a lost opportunity.
I've always been worried about Justin Trudeau's attitude towards trade. We saw during the softwood lumber negotiations that he failed to get an extension while President Obama was still in office.
We have members of Parliament from all over the country, many of whom have a difference of opinion on some issues.
To think that a Catholic bishop must answer to a civil authority over matters of faith is abominable. It is abhorrent to me, to other Catholics, and to every member of every faith community.
More and more Canadians are seeing through Liberal deceptions.
The Liberal Party has finally shown its true colours. I'm talking about the real Liberal Party: the tax-hiking, rule-breaking, perk-loving, deficit-spending, debt-mounting, virtue-signalling Liberals Canadians have come to know and despise.
Justin Trudeau tries to say that Canada is back. I say the Liberals are back - back to ignoring the rules and abusing the privileges of power.
I think it's a disgrace that some would allow extreme voices in this country to erase our proud heritage.
We've seen in the past, Justin Trudeau professing his admiration for the basic dictatorship of China.
We know that the government in China has been involved in cyber attacks before. I look at our partners around the world, our traditional allies, our NATO partners who are making the same assessment. We share so much with them and rely on their technology, their expertise and interoperability in many aspects of our own armed forces.
We have to recognize is that the best way to improve the quality of life for First Nations and Indigenous Canadians is through economic development and activity.
I believe very firmly that we can get to balanced budgets without raising taxes and without cutting transfers to the provinces or to individuals.
I've got 12 reserves in my riding and have always been very available and worked very diligently on a few files. I've been out any time there is major events. So I've always had an open door policy with the chiefs and individuals on- and off-reserve.
I think the Conservative Party has a great story to tell when it comes to relationships with First Nations. I want to be part of the solution-identifying process, talking about, 'What are the practical things that we can achieve that the Conservatives can offer?'
I've always been very passionate about issues. Being speaker, you kind of have to park the positions on issues and focus more on the rules.
A single tax return for Quebecers will eliminate unnecessary paperwork for families and businesses.
People should not have to worry about violence in their own neighbourhoods, but sadly, that is a reality that more and more Canadians face.
We have a variety of views in our party, a variety of views in our caucus.
I believe that the federal government should respect the freedoms that Canadians enjoy to have different beliefs and that by imposing personal values of Justin Trudeau on a wide variety of groups is not an appropriate way to go.
We will not allow Justin Trudeau to keep spending billions wrecking our economy and then forcing local businesses - the very people who create jobs and opportunities in their communities - to pay the bill.
I do believe that the U.K. over the years has given up a tremendous amount of sovereignty. The bureaucratic nature of the E.U., the different levels of government, the fact that court decisions in the U.K. can be appealed to a higher level of court in Europe, those are all things I don't think Canadians would ever accept for ourselves.
I don't think that if Justin Trudeau came back from the NAFTA negotiations with a new clause - 'Oh, by the way, there's going to be a new legislature that Americans will send members to that will pass laws that will bind Canada' - I don't believe Canada would ever go for that.
We have to be vigilant against protectionism and be constantly making the argument for free trade.
When it comes to Senate reform, in general, I've always been a believer in an elected Senate and would hope to achieve aspects of Senate reform.
We don't always win when we are united, but we always lose when we are divided.
I cannot let Justin Trudeau do to my children what his father did to my generation.
Conservatives have to be more than just Liberals who are good at math.
Those who voted Conservative in 2015 were not wrong.
The pain and hardship the Trudeau Liberals are causing Canadians is just temporary.
