Today I introduced my Private Member’s Bill C-273, the FARM Act — cutting red tape and getting farmers faster access to proven tools.
90-day approval for feeds, seeds, fertilizers, and pest control products already approved in trusted jurisdictions such as the EU, US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
Expands the Food and Drugs Act to fast-track veterinary drugs.
A no-cost measure that fixes regulatory failures such as excessive red tape and duplicative, costly reviews that delay and block access to safe, proven agricultural tools.
Maintains strong Canadian safety oversight.
Boosts competitiveness, productivity, and farm incomes.
Supports food security and helps lower costs for families at the grocery store.

We don't trust the Liberal government to defend Canadian producers.
UK beef imports into Canada are up 700%, while our beef and pork exports to the UK remain virtually zero.
Before negotiating new trade deals, the Liberals must fix the ones we already have.

BREAKING: the Bank of Canada is raising interest rates, hitting Canadians with higher mortgage and borrowing costs.
Mark Carney’s growing Liberal deficits and taxes on fuel only feed the inflationary fire and force these rate hikes.
We must control spending and cut taxes to bring down inflation and interest rates, so we can leave more money in Canadians' pockets: conservative.ca/cpc/save-you…

🚨BREAKING: The Liberals just voted against Bill C-264, leaving their Liberal tanker ban in place and preventing the export of crude oil from Prince Rupert on B.C's north coast.
This shows that Prime Minister Mark Carney is not serious about making Canada an energy superpower.
David Bexte retweeted
Saskatchewan is ready to supply clean, dictator-free Canadian energy to global markets.
But Mark Carney's shipping ban shuts the door on overseas buyers, forcing us to sell to the US at a massive DISCOUNT.
Only Conservatives will scrap the ban and get full value for our resources.

That being said, the oil tanker moratorium is an illogical, unscientific law purely grounded in the 2010s anti-pipeline movement and a desire to preempt any revival of northern gateway. It should not exist. It’s bad policy.

For the first time in over three years, the Bank of Canada has raised interest rates.
The Prime Minister promised growth. Canadians got higher borrowing costs and a flatlining economy.
How did the former central banker get it so wrong?
David Bexte retweeted
Mark Carney doubled the deficit, and now the Bank of Canada has raised interest rates, putting more pressure on Canadians with mortgages, car loans, and lines of credit.
He spends. You pay.

Mark Carney's fuel standard tax increases the price at the pump and the money goes to U.S. biofuels corporations—supposedly to save the planet. Someone’s getting rich and it’s not you.

MP Jivani’s cross-examination reveals how Mark Carney helps his friends with your money.
It’s a club.

Mark Carney says he wants Canada to be an energy superpower. Today, he has a chance to put his money where his mouth is.
Conservative Bill C-264 would repeal the Liberal shipping ban that stands in the way of proposals like Strathcona Resources’ plan to export up to 250,000 barrels of Canadian oil a day through Prince Rupert.
Today’s vote will show whether the Mark Carney is serious about his energy superpower promises. Supporting Bill C-264 would open the door to new markets and reduce Canada’s dependence on the U.S. If the Liberals vote against it, Canadians will have every reason to question whether those promises were ever meant to become action.
David Bexte retweeted
Today, the House of Commons is set to vote on my private member’s bill, C-264, to repeal the federal oil tanker ban on B.C.’s north coast.
Alberta and Saskatchewan have voiced their support. Now, MPs have an opportunity to move this bill forward for committee study.

The Liberals have announced their promised Pacific pipeline, but the head of their own Major Projects Office admits it still needs financing and a final investment decision.
Despite the government’s promises, the pipeline isn’t expected to reach a final investment decision until April 2028, with full construction not scheduled to begin until September 2028.
Canadians have heard enough announcements. They deserve answers about when this pipeline will actually be built, who will pay for it, and whether it will ever get Canadian energy to world markets.

This is false. Read his quote. CTV is making things up in an attempt to divide conservatives.
The ideological, unscientific tanker ban that is arbitrarily applied to one region of the country and not others, has always been opposed by conservatives.
B.C.’s incoming premier doesn’t support tanker ban reversal pitched by Poilievre ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article…

I’m calling Mark Carney’s bluff.
A Canadian energy company will pay to upgrade the Port of Prince Rupert so it can ship 250,000 barrels per day of Alberta energy by rail to the Pacific Ocean.
There are supportive Conservative governments in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and now in B.C. The public supports diversifying our economy away from the United States. Our environmental protections remain world-class.
This is as close to unanimous as we’re ever going to see in a democracy of 40 million people.
All you have to do is extend the same exemption to the tanker ban that you’ve given to the Port of Vancouver.
This doesn’t need a new committee, a new major projects office, or a nickel of Canadian taxpayer money, and It’ll create jobs across the country to build new rail cars.
So what’s it going to be, Mark?
David Bexte retweeted
The Prime Minister has promised to make Canada an energy superpower, now is his opportunity to prove that he's serious about that commitment and vote in favour of Bill C-264 to remove the tanker ban.
