Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I am sure the House will be thankful for that. I am a proud member of the Law Society, and because of that, part of the justice system. The justice system is supposed to be a safe place for victims of sexual assault. However, our justice system has had a checkered history in fairly weighing the rights of the victims versus those of the accused in sexual assault cases.

Agriculture and Agri-food  Mr. Speaker, dairy processor Saputo is laying off 280 workers, including at a plant in Trenton right next to my riding. This comes after the Liberal government injected millions of dollars into this company. Saputo is a billion-dollar company.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his support for Canada's sovereignty. I would ask the member if he believes that it would be helpful to hear from the other side about the economic impact that the agreement will have on the dairy industry, and in addition hear the actual details of the package that the Liberal government may be giving to those in the dairy industry in compensation for the loss of their quota.

Farmers are particularly struggling, as they have faced additional headwinds, including trade disruption, a wet spring and global pricing instability.

Canada-United States-Mexico Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, to be clear, I think all Canadians produce the best milk in Canada, including the great province of Manitoba.

Canada-United States-Mexico Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I think it is fair to say that Canadians want to support Canadian business and that we continue to support the supply management sector. I look forward to having further discussions. These are the types of discussions we need to have across the aisle. We want to be brought into these negotiations.

Canada-United States-Mexico Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I rise today to talk about NAFTA, but first I would like to thank the hon.

There can be absolutely no doubt about that.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the hon. member certainly told us about some great projects. In my riding, it has not been as positive. There is an arena in Orono, Ontario, that desperately needs repair. There is a waste treatment facility in Brighton that also needs help. There are lots of projects that need help.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I have yet to receive an answer to my question, which was for a deadline. Will it be a month, a year, six months? I think it is a fairly simple question. There is another question that I would put to the member. The Parliamentary Budget Office, the Green Party and others would agree with me in saying the carbon tax is not effective at current rates.
