The Environment  Mr. Speaker, normally spring is a time of rejuvenation and reinvigoration. However, for many residents on the Great Lakes shoreline it is a time of anxiety and worry. With record high water levels, they are concerned about flooding destroying their houses, which they have all wor

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, toward the end of last year, we grew at 0.1% to 0.3%. That will almost certainly make our debt-to-GDP ratio go up. We are spending billions of dollars. I do not think it is unreasonable to say that if we did not have our sizeable $30-billion deficit and a declining

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, to the member's comment, no, I will not be making CBC News tonight in talking out against the TMX. I will agree wholeheartedly with the member that it was a foolish move for the government to purchase it. When the government selects winners and losers in the econo

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the facts are clear here. Canada's economy is grinding to a halt. At the end of Q4, before the effects of blockades and COVID-19, we were at 0.1% to 0.3% growth. The Canadian economy is suffering. About $200 billion has been left out in products from Alberta. Albe

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we are in a minority government and information has never hurt anything. It has been said before that sunlight is the world's best disinfectant, so why not put a little sunlight on the reports the government has about the potential upcoming economic downturn?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the hon. member on his excellent comments and his bid at comedy. I will be splitting my time with the hon. member for Kootenay—Columbia. In all seriousness, we are facing an economic crisis. The TSX dropped over 1,600 points today. It is serious. Wh

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, all of the speeches in the House come from a great place. On my side of the House we value life, and that is meritorious. We have heard other perspectives that talk about ending suffering and that truly has merit, so I appreciate all of the speeches that have taken

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, the hon. member had mentioned that we should be informed in the House. I am wondering if the hon. member thought it would be wise, perhaps prior to the release of the legislation to the media, for the government to provide us with the results of their consultation,

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I was very interested in the great speech by the hon. member. However, I wonder if the hon. member would be willing to grant me that when we reduce taxes on businesses, businesses can actually create jobs. Some of those business owners may earn in excess of $90,000

Canadian Workers  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on behalf of the working men and women across this great country. They are the individuals who make sure our homes are warm, our transportation moves and our children are fed. Over the past five years, working people of our country have found it

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a separate matter. If you seek it, I hope you will find unanimous consent of the House to adopt the following motion: That, given the unanimous declaration of the House on February 22, 2007, to condemn all forms of human trafficking and slavery this House:

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I look forward to working with the hon. member on the justice committee. I would wholeheartedly join any activity such as he has suggested to work with our provincial counterparts and have this type of legislation enacted specifically in our home province of Ontar

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, this puts me in a bit of an awkward position speaking for the government. I am not sure how comfortable the government feels about that. I certainly feel a bit of discomfort here. However, I understand that there is already much education and resources available.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I agree that this type of training, specifically with respect to the Parole Board but more generally as well, is needed throughout the government. As we have continuing instances, there appears, I dare say, to be a pattern of insensitivity toward the victims of sex

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to inform the House that I will take the unusual step of sharing my time in this early round. I believe all the parties have been surveyed and all are on board. I wish to seek unanimous consent to split my time with the member for Calgary Skyview.
