Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  As an individual who grew up on the west coast of Canada, near Alaska, and who worked at a cannery during his high school years, along with my mother and a number of my aunts, those industries no longer exist. However, there needs to be transition for all industries as we move forward. We see that in many industries in Canada. In this case, there needs to be collaboration and consultation with the fishers.

Health committee  I mean, I am creating a problem for him and then selling him the solution. Canadians who are no longer ready to be fleeced by the costly coalition know what lies at the heart of the spending addiction that this government has. The cost of mortgages has doubled. The cost of rent has doubled.

Health committee  Julian's filibuster earlier, that this is just phase one and that phase two is coming—“Just wait, the cheque's in the mail”—so Canadians will have to wait yet a bit longer for that. It remains to be seen what that will be: Perhaps at that time it will be those drugs for cardiac patients, or maybe a rare disease strategy or access to those medications that so many Canadians are unable to receive or afford and for which they have to go to other jurisdictions to get coverage and treatment.

Criminal Code  According to the sponsor of the bill in the Senate, Julie Miville-Dechêne, a 2018 report from Public Safety Canada explains that victims are often reluctant to report their situation, since they tend to believe that the success rate of prosecutions is very low. Prosecutors, for their part, find it difficult to reach the high threshold of evidence required for trafficking cases. The statistics are startling. In 2019, 89% of human trafficking charges resulted in a stay, withdrawal, dismissal or discharge.

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  It is time for us to move forward with this legislation and unlock the potential of the Canadian offshore wind energy industry. The longer that Parliament waits to designate a new regulatory body for permitting offshore wind, the more opportunities Canadian workers will miss out on. Major offshore wind projects are already being developed in the North Sea and on the American east coast, attracting significant investment.

Health committee  People around the table may think that's normal, and that this is not how a government works. They wouldn't reach out to Canada's leading experts on pharmacare. No, what would they do? Quite frankly, I have no idea what they did. I would suspect that they dreamt up this pharmacare pamphlet of four pages somehow in-house.

Business of Supply  This spending power has become a disease that is more serious than we suspect. I sat on the Standing Committee on Health for several months. We have reached a point where, when we say that Quebec's jurisdictions must be respected, we are told that it is no big deal, that spending power lets us do whatever we want. I heard my colleague from Thunder Bay—Rainy River and my NDP colleagues say so.

Health committee  MacDonald, maybe you could make this clear to the committee. Is there a joint CDA and CADTH, or is CADTH no longer relevant and just out of the picture altogether? Perhaps before I go on, you could make that clear to the committee. Is the governing structure now solely the Canadian drug agency and not CADTH, or is there some sort of overlap at the current time?

Privilege  That said, institutional mechanisms are still important. I think our colleague said that. If, in the very House itself, the Speaker no longer has the confidence of a large portion of this Parliament, it acts like a wrench thrown into an extremely precise spot in the works, causing them to break down. Partisanship aside, the office of Speaker has some very high-level requirements.

National AccessAbility Week  This year's theme is “Forward Together: Accessibility and Inclusion for All”. Collective efforts are needed from all sectors of society. We need this in order to reach a barrier-free Canada by 2040. I invite my colleagues and all Canadians to celebrate the exceptional work being done by so many. Let us continue working toward a more accessible and inclusive society, a more accessible and inclusive Canada.

Roger Barbeau  He was a model for us all, thanks to his compassion for the least fortunate and his commitment to the principles of charity and goodwill. He inspired those around him with his kindness, wisdom and ability to reach out to those in need. I would like to thank Roger Barbeau for everything he has done and for everything he is. His legacy will live in our hearts forever.

Privilege  What I am saying is that what happens in the National Assembly should also happen here. I still have confidence that the House will realize that this Speaker can no longer continue in his position and that the House of Commons deserves better.

Privilege  Although it is all well and good to see the third gaffe as relatively minor, I would say this to my colleague: We are in a crisis, not only because the Speaker has made serious errors in view of his status, role and office, but we have been in a crisis for several months. Respect no longer exists in the House. For me, this is one more factor that reinforces and lends credence to the motion calling on the Speaker to resign. Does my colleague agree that the House is not functioning normally in terms of respect, order and language?

Health committee  I have a point of order. Mr. Stephen Ellis: Three years on, it appears it will take even longer than that to get production started.

Health committee  Please take note of the following preventative measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including the interpreters. Use only a black approved earpiece. The former grey earpieces must no longer be used. Keep your earpiece away from all microphones at all times. When you're not using your earpiece, place it face down on the sticker placed on the table for this purpose. Thank you all for your co-operation.
