Online News Act  Which failed.

Online News Act  Oh, that is such a lie.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I said that the minister lied.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I was part of leading the charge on the debate with regard to Bill C-18, the online news act, and the bill was scheduled for debate tonight. A whole host speakers from all parties were prepared to speak to it. With only a moment's notice, that debate was cut short.

Online News Act  He probably will not. That is what he said.

Online News Act  He will censor it, he said. That is true. That is exactly what will happen. Madam Speaker, this is your House. I will let you bring it to order.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I will answer with a fact. I will take the emotion out for a moment here. This legislation states that, even to be considered for CRTC approval to enter into these negotiations, a news business has to show that it has a minimum of two journalists. Many local newspapers or ethnic media newspapers do not have two journalists.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I hope the member takes the time to post my answer with his question. I would like to correct the record.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, the member for the NDP just stated that the NDP brought forward a motion asking that there be allowance for news outlets with 1.25 or 1.5 full-time employees to be considered. I am curious if one person would be doing the work of 1.25, 1.5 or 1.75 full-time employees.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I find it very interesting when the members opposite throw around the word “misinformation”. It is the usual buzzword Liberals go to to sling mud in this direction without having substance over there in that direction. It is the word they go to when they think that it cannot be argued against.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill C-18, the online news act. I do so in response to a bill that has returned to the House, after being in the Senate for quite some time. It was sent to the Senate earlier this year. I believe the Senate started to study at the end of January or the beginning of February.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, if someone wants to know about choice, they should always ask a socialist. That is a good place to start. I will leave it at that.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Thanks, Madam Speaker.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I do not know that I fully understood the question. It seemed to have a lot to do with aging and I did not hear a lot to do with child care. Nevertheless, I will highlight that when this bill was brought forward to committee and was studied there, we received extensive testimony on the fact that the bill, in its current form, actually hurts those with lower incomes and benefits those who are wealthier.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I come from a riding of incredibly hard-working, common-sense individuals. They are people who value family, value freedom and value their faith in many regards. These individuals simply want two things. They are actually quite simple. Number one, they want those in leadership to function with integrity.
