Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, Colette Bourgonje will be inducted into the Canada Games Hall of Honour as a builder. From 1992 to 2014, Bourgonje attended every winter Paralympic Games and three summer Paralympic Games, winning six medals. She is a member of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, and even has a Saskatoon public school named after her in my riding in Rosewood. Bourgonje has coached many [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, after one year with the, things have only gotten worse for Canadians. Canada is now the food inflation capital of the G7, with food prices skyrocketing 7.3% and food bank lineups of 2 million visitors per month. At the Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre, we serve 23,000 to 24,000 people a month. That is up 6,000 to 7,000 per month since 2019. Unemployment in this [more]

Mr. Speaker, when Canadians thrive, they do not need to rely on government handouts. Our province is like that. It does not enjoy the fact that the government is handing out billions of dollars throughout the country just to help Canadians. I know what people in my province want. They want jobs, and unfortunately, this country lost 100,000 jobs in the first two months of 2026. Let us think about [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canada has the worst food inflation and the only shrinking economy in the G7, and rising unemployment rates now. Canadians are facing a serious cost of living crisis. Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Paycheques are spread so thin right now that they do not cover the cost of basic necessities. Canadians deserve an economy where hard work pays off. When will the Liberals take [more]

Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the University of Saskatchewan's Huskies women's basketball team. Just last Sunday, at the U Sports championship, the Huskies captured their second straight title with a 77-68 win over the University of New Brunswick Reds. Coming off the bench was Logan Reider. She scored a team-high 19 points and was named the player of the game. Ella Murphy Wiebe, who is in [more]

C-20 Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague brought up a number of good points. Right now, in northwest Ontario, the mining companies desperately need people. Billseems to be another bureaucracy by the Liberal Party and the government, and it is just going to hold that whole northwest part of Ontario back. How can we hire people when we do not have housing? I want to ask the hon. member about that. I [more]

Congratulations on your appointment, by the way. I want to go to the Ethnic Media Association. Ethnic media is a growing medium. I saw the footage from the city of Toronto rally where there were well over 100,000 people. We never had anything like this in Canada in all my time in broadcasting. You said there were 150,000 people. I watched the news that day. There was maybe a maximum of a minute [more]

I like this motion very much. I have met Gregory Ebel several times, mainly because Enbridge has been producing pipelines in my province of Saskatchewan. This is an important pipeline to go through. I say that because not only does it affect our energy in Alberta and B.C., but I want people to know that we have a steel plant in Regina, Saskatchewan: Evraz. It produces 100% Canadian-made pipe. We [more]

Thank you. It's an interesting panel we have here today. I must say that CBC's mandate was not answered when APTN was formed, and I remember your coming on the air in 1999 because CBC did not fulfill their mandate. I just want to say to APTN, don't worry about Numeris ratings. When the president of CBC was here, I asked her about the ratings. I knew they were very poor, but she wouldn't give [more]

Yes, the other issue is the CRTC. They're not listening. They're not listening to you guys when you go there. Now you're $4 million short, and you're cutting programs because of it.

Well, you're the same as APTN. They used to get 35¢ per person when it was cable. They're up to 38¢. That's a whole three cents. Cheryl, I want you to talk about it. Your budget has decreased. At one time, you were at around $11 million, and now you're down to $8 million. You've added a newscast. Now you have two local newscasts a day. You're doing more with less but, eventually, that catches [more]
