Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. During his intervention today, the member for Kings—Hants said that the birthplace of hockey was in Nova Scotia. I would direct him to a CBC article from January 6, 2016, which disputes that. It states the birthplace is actually Kingston, Ontario.

Mr. Speaker, we continually hear this narrative from the Conservative Party that we need to drill more oil, yet the world is moving in the direction of electrification. More electric cars are being sold than ever before. We see initiatives in place to limit and phase out fossil fuel-burning vehicles by the middle of 2035. Why is the Conservative Party so focused on talking about extracting more oil when it has an opportunity to push the agenda forward on bringing these new developing jobs right to Alberta?

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, you have ruled that the comment the member made was out of order. The member should unreservedly apologize without trying to provide some kind of caveat. Her remarks were offensive to the Crown and the Crown's representative in this place. She needs to apologize for that.

Mr. Speaker, the member started off by talking about Canadians' abilities to dream and pursue and chase after future technologies and opportunities, yet the Conservatives are stuck in this era of extracting oil. It is all they care about. It is what they talk about over and over. If this is the case, why is it so hard for this member and the Conservative Party to recognize there is a future beyond oil and that we should be chasing, pursuing and going after that?

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize some amazing Queen's University students from my riding of Kingston and the Islands. Last week, Queen's University's varsity leadership council ran a food drive to help support Martha's Table, a local non-profit that provides free nutritious meals and personal hygiene products to members of the Kingston community. This initiative was led by the council's co-presidents: Sydney Hutchinson, one of the women's water polo team members, and Colton Celetano of the men's lacrosse team. In total, this involved 21 different varsity teams that put together 60 baskets of food and hygiene products. Each basket included 21 items and is enough for a family of four. I know that every day there are many Queen's students just like Sydney and Colton, who quietly go and serve our community to help make it an even better place. They do not do it for recognition or reward; they simply do it because it is the right thing to do and they want to help. I thank Sydney, Colton and all the varsity athletes who participated, for stepping up for their community.
