Business of Supply  Madam Chair, when was the last time the minister attended a sentencing?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I ask the same question.

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, when was the last time the minister attended a sentencing?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, as the top legal official in this country, as Attorney General and Minister of Justice, does the minister not think he should attend a sentencing just once in a while?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, when was the last time the minister visited bail court?

Business of Supply  Same question. When was the last time you went to bail court?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would invite you to speak with the table officers, but my understanding is that when we are in committee of the whole, answers are to be balanced proportionately to the time that is provided in the question. I wrote down the times, and in one case, by my rough calculation, and this is by no means scientific, there was actually a 14-second disparity.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, the member talks about criticism; I will criticize that member. I rose in questions and answers and pointed out to him something that was disgusting; a disgusting fringe group of individuals said something awful about a member. If the Liberals want to heckle me, they can go right ahead.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I would be happy to fund so many different things. I do not know if my colleague heard what I spoke about right at the beginning, perhaps she came in late, with respect to receiving the information from my dentist that this is not as advertised. This is something that, in my view, is completely and overly bureaucratic and does not accomplish what it sets out to do.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people from Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo. It really is a pleasure. I always joke that I am not sure how a kid from North Kamloops ended up in the House of Commons, but here I am. Before I begin, I want to recognize some people from my riding.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo. I always enjoy listening to my colleague speak. I have learned a lot from him. He is actually the person who went through every line of the budget one year, did some addition and realized that the government had gotten its own numbers wrong.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people from Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo, I typically say, but on this occasion I rise with the difficult task of pointing out just what this member has done. He has spoken about a far-right group, and I am reading from a Global News story that talked about sexually assaulting the spouse of a member of the House.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I understand that sometimes the rhetoric and hyperbole can go a little bit awry here, but at the end of the day, the parliamentary secretary is suggesting something very serious when he says that the member for Carleton met with people from an organization that has espoused hateful language and—

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo. It is interesting to hear my hon. colleague speak, because even during question period today, his leader rose and talked about greedy CEOs. He got quite a reaction, because it is fairly well known that, despite the fact that the NDP leader constantly speaks about Loblaw and the connections that he makes, his brother is lobbying on behalf of Metro.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, a dangerous sexual offender was in medium security. He needed hospitalization, so he should have been escorted under guard. However, authorities did not want to pay for him to be guarded. According to the Toronto Sun, his security was changed from medium to minimum, and he received permission to be temporarily absent from jail.
