Business of Supply  Madam Chair, there have been 12 meetings with a heroin-selling company. The government is refusing to release contracts involving the Government of Canada and corporate drug dealers. Why will the minister not tell us what was discussed in those meetings, and why is the minister sitting on these contracts?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am splitting three ways, and my questions will be for the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. My colleagues have asked about a company called Fair Price Pharma, which is run by former B.C. public health officer Perry Kendall and a partner. Its business is selling heroin.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, this is not a dispassionate expert. This is someone who went from the public health world into selling heroin. Twelve meetings in two years is not normal even for an expert. Again I will ask, what is being discussed in these meetings? What is Fair Price Pharma asking the Liberal government for?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, 12 meetings in two years. Four in-person meetings with this heroin company and the former minister. This new incoming minister must have been briefed on the nature of this close relationship and what was being discussed. For a final time, why is the government meeting 12 times in two years with this heroin company?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, a lot of people want to hide their meetings with drug dealers, but I would have expected better from this minister. What is the purpose of these 12 meetings with this corporate drug dealer?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, is the Government of Canada party to any contracts or agreements involving Fair Price Pharma?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, will the minister demonstrate her point either way by releasing all contracts involved in safe supply?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, we put forward a motion at the government operations committee asking for any contracts to which the federal government is a party. The Liberals have been filibustering to block the release of those contracts. If no contracts existed, I suspect Liberals would not be motivated to filibuster to block their release.

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable to me that the NDP-Liberals are still defending the arrive scam policy. The fact is that this app was a disaster. Sixty million dollars was spent. A big chunk of it went to this do-nothing middleman company. Most versions of the app, according to the Auditor General, were not tested.

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, it is now clear that the costly, crooked, cover-up coalition engaged in corrupt practices in the arrive scam scandal. The Auditor General's report revealed that the government rigged the process, which was that senior officials sat down with the well-connected insider firm, GC Strategies, and discussed and arranged the terms of a deal, which GC Strategies would then bid on.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his excellent speech. We have heard many excellent speeches from Conservative colleagues tonight about the importance of the energy sector, jobs and opportunity. After nine years of the Liberal government, it is clear that its policies are not working, and it is not worth the cost, the crime or the corruption.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the important points he made about the energy sector, about the value it produces for our economy and about the failures of the government. I wonder if he can expand specifically on just what the bill would do, the additional challenges it would create and what kind of an approach we should be taking instead.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, the member for Kingston and the Islands has to be loud to make up for the absence of other colleagues who are able to say anything in the House. I want to credit the member. He speaks when nobody else is here, and he is carrying more water than some. In response to my colleague, absolutely the industrial heartland is a critical example of the benefits of energy-related manufacturing, and my riding is a real hub of that.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I do have concerns that this bill, among other problems, gives too much arbitrary power to the government with respect to the designation of areas without proper consultation. I share what I think are the concerns raised by the Bloc in that regard.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, it does seem that a substantially greater number of Liberals came in for my speech, like the member for Kingston and the Islands in particular, and the prospective leadership candidate, the Minister of Housing. The Liberals are busy planning leadership campaigns. To the member's point, a very important point, I will firmly agree with everything said by my colleague from Calgary Nose Hill.
