Business of the House

The weekly Thursday question on upcoming House business. The Conservative House leader asked for the government’s schedule for the rest of this week and next week, and asked whether, following the environment minister’s resignation, the government would cancel its laws on pipelines, oil shipping, and the industrial carbon tax. The Liberal House leader responded that Canadians elected a new government in April 2025, thanked the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie for his environmental work as he leaves politics, and gave the schedule: debate on immigration department spending tonight, the budget bill tomorrow and Monday, an opposition day Tuesday, and a bill to protect victims Wednesday and Thursday.Written by AI from the debate.

Andrew Scheer, Regina—Qu'Appelle

Conservative
“What is the government's schedule for the rest of this week and next week? Now that the environment minister has resigned, will the government cancel its laws against pipelines, oil shipping, and the industrial carbon tax?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, you join millions of Canadians who are anxious to hear the Thursday question. In fact, data centres all over the country are whirring into action as streaming devices carrying CPAC spring to life. It being Thursday, it is time for the government to update the House as to the business for the rest of this week and next week. In light of the fact that Justin Trudeau’s radical environment minister has announced his resignation, and the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie is leaving, apparently, over a rift in policy, it would be helpful for the member to know if he is doing the right thing. Will the Liberals repeal all the radical antidevelopment legislation that the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie was so proud of? Will they repeal the “no more pipelines” bill, Bill C-69? Will they bring in legislation next week to repeal the shipping ban for Canadian exports off the west coast? Will they repeal the industrial carbon tax that drives away so many jobs and so much investment? In other words, will the government prove that it has actually changed its ways, or in fact, is it continuing with Justin Trudeau’s radical antidevelopment, “no new energy” agenda? That would be in line with the Prime Minister’s book he wrote about himself called Values, in which he called for Canada’s natural resources to be left in the ground. In short, will the government bring in legislation to repeal those very bills and those very laws that drove out investment and shut down our energy sector for the past 11 years of darkness with Liberal governments?
