Only the House of Commons has the disciplinary powers to deal with this type of offence. Doug's position is that he paid the government EI and taxes for years and now he is owed this money, and not working while he is collecting benefits is his way of getting even with the government. Doug now refuses to return to the workplace. He collects the Canada recovery benefit and spends most of the time drinking. The family now says Doug lives in a recreational vehicle. His drinking led to the loss of his place. Over the winter months, Doug began drinking. At the time, Doug told his family it was just for the winter months and he would go back to work in the spring.
Granted the system was not supposed to work that way, but it was, by design, set up so people like Doug absolutely could quit their job and still collect it. Last fall, Doug decided to quit his job so he could collect the CERB. Unlike some trades, Doug got very busy during the pandemic. Nathalie is very concerned about her brother, whom we will call “Doug”. Recently, my Summerland office was contacted by a woman, and we will call her “Nathalie”. I am going to share something with this place. Subsequently, they have been pumping money into this pipeline without any scant understanding of or precaution to the financial and the environmental implications. Within 24 hours, the Prime Minister and the finance minister at the time announced that they would come up with the purchase price to buy the pipeline. We have to remember that the government and the Prime Minister came up with that money overnight, when the private sector pulled out of the project because it was not financially viable. Add those numbers up and we are close to $20 billion that the government is spending on a pipeline that even the International Energy Agency says is not in the public's interests or in the planet's interests. It cost $4.5 billion for the company itself, which was far more than the sticker price. It is an amount that keeps rising, with construction costs that are currently either committed to or will be committed to in the coming months. I need only add the incredible amount of money the government has poured into the Trans Mountain pipeline: According to the PBO again, it is $12.5 billion so far and counting.
In fact, why is this government collaborating with the communist regime in China on anything while that regime commits genocide against its own Uighur Muslim population, lays waste to democracy in Hong Kong, engages in harvesting organs from persecuted minorities like the Falun Gong and betrays Canada in the CanSino vaccine debacle? Why are the Liberals partnering with China when the Prime Minister cannot even explain why two Chinese scientists were escorted from a high-security virology lab in Winnipeg and fired? Why is Canadian money being invested in a bank controlled by China's communist regime when our two Michaels continue to languish in Chinese prisons? The minister has refused to answer these questions, as more and more taxpayer money is wasted on the Prime Minister's efforts to appease China.
This is unacceptable behaviour we are witnessing.įor example, why is the Liberal government spending hundreds of millions of our tax dollars on the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank? It is a bank that makes no investments in Canada and instead supports China's efforts to assert its power and influence across Asia. They are more concerned about character assassination, as we saw the official opposition, with the unholy opposition alliance, take personal shots at a national hero, someone we all know as the Minister of National Defence. The Conservatives are more concerned about political partisanship than getting down to work, which was clearly demonstrated last Thursday. It continues to focus on character assassination and on ways to make something out of something that is often not real. When we talk about how Bill C-30 will be there to support small businesses and put money in the pockets of Canadians so they have the disposable income necessary to pay the bills that are absolutely essential, the Conservative Party continues to play that destructive role. I am very much aware of the tactics opposition parties will use, but at a time when Canadians need us to work together, we have an official opposition that is acting as an obstructive force. I am very much aware of how important it is that we protect the interests of opposition members and their rights. I have stated before that I have been a parliamentarian for approximately 30 years, the vast majority of which were in opposition.
