If Ottawa Giveth, Then Ottawa

Our Relationship With Nature Is More One Of Being Than Having. We Are Nature: We Do Not Have Nature.

Today, We Are Tabling A Motion Seeking The Support Of The House For The Government's Decision To Renew Our Military Mission Against Isil For Up To An Additional 12 Months. Our Objectives Remain The Same: We Intend To Continue To Degrade The Capabilities Of Isil, That Is, To Degrade Its Ability To Engage In Military Movements Of Scale, To Operate Bases In The Open, To Expand Its Presence In The Region, And To Propagate Attacks Outside The Region.

As I Constantly Remind Canadians, There Isnt Really A Canadian Economy Anymore. It Is A Global Economy.

We Have To Remember We're In A Global Economy. The Purpose Of Fiscal Stimulus Is Not Simply To Sustain Activity In Our National Economies, But To Help The Global Economy As Well, And That's Why It's So Critical That Measures In Those Packages Avoid Anything That Smacks Of Protectionism.

Canada Is In Budgetary Deficit Now Only Because Of The Recession, Only Because Of Stimulus Measures, And We Will Come Out Of It. We Will Go Back Into Surplus Position When The Economy Recovers. So There Is No Need In Canada To Raise Taxes.
