MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Michael Kram

Kram repeatedly pushes for more oil pipelines and resource development, seeing them as key to affordability and Canada's international influence. He frequently brings up his Saskatchewan riding. In Question Period, he presses the Liberals on spending, the economy, and defence decisions, while making jabs at their expense. He participates in recognitions of cultural groups and events.

Private Members' Business

Ukrainian Heritage Month Act

“I went on and on about the Ukrainian community. I really want Ukrainian Heritage Month. But I will not be happy with just a symbol. I want the government to build pipelines and sell oil to Europe. I want Canada to stop Russia's war in Ukraine. I think the government should do what I say.”

Oral Questions

The Economy

“The Liberal MP I'm attacking is wrong. He claimed Conservatives did 'nothing' for the economy. But before I was elected, my riding had a Liberal MP. Under the Liberals, we got a carbon tax, anti-pipeline bill and tanker ban. Thousands of oil patch jobs were lost in Saskatchewan. I want this Saskatchewan MP to demand, in cabinet, that the Prime Minister cancel these policies so Canadians can afford to live.”

“I want to blame the government for causing a recession with their policies. It's not global forces, it's their fault. People can't afford things because of them.”

Oral Questions

National Defence

“The defence minister said the Snowbird planes were unsafe. But his department says they can fly until at least 2030. Is the minister lying or does he not trust his own department?”

Statements by Members

Natural Resources

“I want the Prime Minister to approve more pipelines. That will sell more oil to Americans and make Canada richer. Instead we're losing money to Russia and funding their war. The Prime Minister is weak and should do better.”

Oral Questions

Finance

“I'm sad because people don't have enough of their own money for food. I want the other party to stop spending taxpayer money so people have more money left over to buy food themselves.”

“The Liberals keep spending so much money. It's been 11 years! Our debt is huge now. Why do they keep doing this? Canadians have to pay more and more because of their spending.”

Statements by Members

Resource Development

“The Liberals are all talk and no action on pipelines. Resource projects bring money to my province. Those resources can't prosper without pipelines. We need pipelines to be strong at home and have leverage abroad.”

Government Orders

Strong and Free Elections Act

“I want new rules that make it harder for this committee to run candidates. If that doesn't work, I'll keep trying other ways to limit them.”

“I'm filling time with kind words and saying nothing anyone could pin down later.”

“A group called the longest ballot committee is making ballots too long. They recruit fake candidates to disrupt elections. The bill tries to stop this, but it might not work completely. I think we should charge candidates a small deposit to stop fake ones. I will vote for this bill.”
