Madam Speaker, very quickly, I have five petitions to table on behalf of my constituents. The first one calls for a blue seal program, modelled after the Red Seal program, for medical professionals.

Madam Speaker, to my colleague across the way, I will say that I am in a constituency with 70% of the irrigation in the country, so when he talks about very rich people, they are not my constituents. When I last spoke about this, I had examples of many of the irrigating farmers paying more than $100,000 in carbon taxes a year, and there are thousands of them in my riding because of irrigation. If he questions that, he should come to my riding; I will introduce them to him, and he will see that. The constituents I represent grow on 4% of the arable land and bring in 28% of the GDP for ag in the province of Alberta. This is costing them because they grow 60 different kinds of products, which translates to expensive food in this country. I know them.

Madam Speaker, constituents in Surrey—Newton and across Canada are watching to see that we are investing in Canadians. They are going to see who is supporting them and who is not, so I request a recorded division.
