Conservative Columbia—Kootenay—Southern Rockies 3 statements translated

Morrison reliably pushes for a tougher criminal justice system, with longer mandatory minimum sentences. He's dialed in on the economic concerns of his own riding, especially around resource industries, but makes more of an impression griping about the cost of groceries than outlining a specific alternative plan.

“You did good work. But criminals need real jail time. The Supreme Court is too soft. We need to make them punish crime more.”

Critical Minerals

2026-06-10

“I want the government to declare steelmaking coal a critical mineral. This would be good for my riding's economy.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, Canada has an incredible opportunity to become a global leader in the resources that power modern economies. In Columbia—Kootenay—Southern Rockies, the communities of Elk Valley and Trail are helping make that possible. Elk Valley is home to a highly skilled mining workforce that produces world-class metallurgical coal, while Trail earned an international reputation in excellence in metal processing, refining and innovation. Steel is fundamental to energy infrastructure, transportation networks and national defence. The materials required to produce steel are therefore critical to the economic and industrial security. Met coal, also known as steelmaking coal, is recognized as a critical mineral in the United States, the European Union and India. Canada needs to formally recognize metallurgical coal as a critical mineral as well. As the global demand for critical minerals and steelmaking materials continues to grow, the workers, the families and the businesses of Elk Valley and Trail remain at the forefront of Canada's prosperity. I thank them for their hard work and invaluable contribution to our country.

“I'm from a rural area. Food prices are high. Fuel prices are high. No one says they've never had it so good. People blame me for food prices when I'm in the grocery store.”
