Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, there are many reasons to be debating this concurrence motion. We have a government that was very slow to act in helping any of our allies when war first broke out in Ukraine. At the natural resources committee, I even suggested that we get liquid natural gas and ou

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to government information on digital assets and the Web3 sector in Canada: (a) what portion of the gross domestic product does the government estimate to be related to the Web3 sector; (b) how many jobs are tied to the Web3 sector; (c) what analysis or economic studie

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, my colleague could not be more wrong. That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard in the House, or one of them. Particularly, he is saying that farmers are the cause of food going up. The government has put the carbon tax on all the inputs for all the in

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague for raising that very good question. It is one that I did not get to in my speech. The costs of health care, of course, have gone up dramatically, as well, over these years. One thing I know from my 14 years in the Manitoba legislature is tha

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, there are several things one could say about my colleague's great question. One is that he knows in British Columbia there were something like 15 LNG projects that could have been built when the Prime Minister came into power, and not one of them has ever been comple

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to speak to Bill C-47, the budget implementation act, this evening. Canadians are facing a cost of living crisis; there is no doubt about that. Food, housing and fuel are all costing more these days. The more the Prime Minister spends, the more eve

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, one of the things my colleague mentioned in her speech tonight was about the lack of discussion and the lack of dialogue that the government had with the public or with others, even the provinces, which were only given one choice when they were forced to basically

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I was most impressed by my colleague's presentation this evening and the number of choice areas that he spoke of. Could he elaborate on the accountability and accessibility of the types of day care that we have today and how they could be improved?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I just want to acknowledge my colleague's concern with some of the items in this bill. I know he is concerned about the 32% increase in violent crime and gang-related murders, which have doubled. I am optimistic that he will sleep on this tonight and take a look at

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my colleague mentioned the airsoft industry. There are about 320 businesses and 1,350 staff and employees in that industry. These rules that are coming could negate any of that sort of industry and business. I wonder if the member could just elaborate on her though

Walter Charles Nelson  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a great Canadian farm business leader, Walter Charles Nelson from Avonlea, who recently passed away at the age of 95. He accomplished more than most could dream of and touched the hearts of many, while making transformational changes in

Conservative Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, instead of implementing a plan to fight inflation, the Liberals are determined to repeat their failed inflationary approach, and people are paying the price. Canadians are out of money and the Liberal government is out of touch. The good news is, Conservatives have

The Budget  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to ask a question of my colleague from Winnipeg North. He just made the comment that this is a budget for all Canadians, and it certainly is. Every Canadian is going to have to repay the extreme debt the Liberals have put this country in. It is t

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, earlier today, some of my colleagues, particularly the member for Scarborough—Guildwood, indicated the pillars involved in the bill. The member mentioned them as well in his presentation. There are so many different areas that need to be looking at the cybersecurity

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question in regard to trying to move the bill forward. I have indicated that I do want to see the bill go to committee, and I will support it to go to committee. I did refer to a couple of remarks that Christopher Parsons, fr
