Opposition Motions |
June 13, 2025 — Andrew Scheer (Regina—Qu'Appelle) — That, given that the Liberal government is banning the sale of gas-powered vehicles that will force Canadians to buy electric vehicles, and this mandate will drive up the cost of vehicles by $20,000, in order to allow Canadians the choice to purchase any vehicle that meets their needs at a price they can afford, the House call on the Liberal government to immediately end their ban on gas-powered vehicles. |
Notice also received from: |

June 13, 2025 — Andrew Scheer (Regina—Qu'Appelle) — That, given that, |
(i) the government's plan to prepare Canada for its ban on gas-powered vehicles will cost Canadians $300 billion, |
(ii) the government's own research predicts that by the target date of the ban the charging infrastructure and electricity generation capacity will not be available to meet the demand, the consequences of which will have the greatest negative impact on "rural, remote, and Indigenous communities and lower-income areas", |
the House call on the government to cancel its plan to ban gas-powered vehicles and instead allow consumers to decide their own personal transportation needs in accordance with their own personal budgets. |

June 13, 2025 — Andrew Scheer (Regina—Qu'Appelle) — That, given that the government plans on spending a record $26.1 billion on consultants, an increase of 36% in one year, and an added burden of $1,400 placed on every household in Canada, the House call on the government to end the practice of using high-priced consultants who get rich on the backs of hard-working Canadians with little to nothing to show for it and rely instead on Canada’s professional public servants to provide the advice they are qualified and paid to give. |
