Pandemic Day Act  Mr. Speaker, as always it is an honour to rise in this place to talk about the issues that are so important to my constituents and all Canadians. Particularly, on Bill S-209, I find it interesting that we are debating the creation of a day, which happened approximately four yea

Privilege  Madam Speaker, why are the NDP member and those within the Liberal Party so obsessed with American politics? They are obsessed with American politics, yet a former American presidential candidate spoke at the NDP member's last party convention. It was a failed presidential candid

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I find it interesting that the Liberals are quick to pivot, deflect and divert when it is under the member's leadership and his Prime Minister, supported by the NDP and the leader of the NDP, that we have seen a doubling of contracts going through the course of the

Privilege  Madam Speaker, it is fascinating that the member is talking about a myopic view of history. It is the member's leader and the members of the NDP who support, at every turn, the corruption of the Liberal Prime Minister and his cabinet, as well as the Liberal backbench. I find it a
