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

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, it is my expectation that we will send this bill to committee not to give it a quick rubber stamp, but instead to carefully examine it, amend it where it is needed and improve it in order to ensure that Canada's cyber-defences are the best they can be. That was the

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the interjection and question from my colleague for Winnipeg North. He and I are used to debating each other from our days in the Manitoba legislature, but not too much, because we were both in opposition in those days. However, we did teach him how to

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, as I rise to speak today, all of us in this place are acutely aware of the deeply concerning realities of foreign interference in Canada’s affairs. The Government of Canada cannot afford to ignore this troubling trend. While there are many angles from which we mu

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the government’s announcement on November 14, 2022, about securing a foreign supply of children’s acetaminophen for sale at retail and in community pharmacies: (a) are there any measures in place to ensure that some of the supply will be sold in pharmacies located

Christmas Greetings  Mr. Speaker, Christmas often brings out the best in us, as we reflect on the values of generosity, hospitality and charity. I am proud to represent a region that constantly lives out these values. We see them on display in so many simple acts of kindness. I think of the volunte

Firearms  Madam Speaker, farmers and hunters are not responsible for the increase in violent crime, nor are they the source of illegal firearms pouring in from the United States. Time and time again, the Prime Minister blames law-abiding firearms owners for his government's failure to mak
