Members of Parliament all gathered in Ottawa as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opened up the 43rd Parliament with the Throne Speech. 

The speech focused on fighting climate change, strengthening the middle class, walking the road of reconciliation, keeping Canadians safe and healthy, and positioning Canada for success. 

Jeremy Patzer, MP for Cypress Hills - Grasslands, said that he didn't hear what we wanted to from the speech. 

"On election night the Prime Minister said to Western Canadians that 'I hear you' and the throne speech was his opportunity to show that he actually is listening. It clearly showed that he is not listening to the needs of Western Canadians." 

Patzer said that there were a few items that he was hoping would be mentioned. 

"Items that I was looking for were in regards to our energy workers. For those who have either lost their jobs or are going to wake up with the reality that there might not be a job for them when they get to work in the morning," he said. "Also, then for our farmers who with the nature of the crops, they were this year and just the way the weather didn't cooperate and the money they having to pay by no fault of their own with the carbon tax just to dry their grain. There's no relief for that." 

Patzer said that despite the disappointment of the throne speech, he believes that they can get the message across. 

"We are going to keep standing up for the interest of all Canadians in particular for the people of my riding, the people of Western Canada, and the people of Saskatchewan," he said. "We are going to keep the government accountable, and that is what my goal is in Ottawa." 

He said that he believes that he can get the message across due to the new strength of the Conservatives in Western Canada. 

"We sent a strong message in the election by clean sweeping Saskatchewan and every seat but one in Alberta having gone to the Conservatives," he said. "We are going to use our collective strength to make sure that we are able to keep getting our message across." 

Patzer added that he and the Conservatives want to make sure that all Canadians have a chance to succeed.
