Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, it is a real honour to be in the House to speak to this important justice bill. Bill C-75, sadly, is a deeply flawed, 302-page omnibus bill introduced by the government. Are there some positive aspects? Yes. However, the way it has been done, rammed through, not pro

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, consultation is listening, taking into consideration, and learning from one another. Just having meetings with people within our provincial directorate is not proper consultation. I was not part of those consultations. However, I strongly believe that the provinces

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, I would acknowledge that there is a big difference. That is why the courts need to have discretion. However, what we are hearing from the government is that participation in the activities of a terrorist group or advocating genocide is also within that same grouping

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, the member brings up a very good point. When the justice minister had the responsibility of appointing judges, six months went by before there were any appointments, and this created a backlog. Now with Bill C-75 and offences being downloaded onto the provincial gove

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2 Madam Speaker, I listened intently to my colleague, and I appreciated his comments. However, the member is defending a budget that is indefensible. Canadians did vote for a change in 2015. However, what the government promised and what it is delivering are very different. The go

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2 Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to my Liberal colleague sharing with this House and Canadians his perspective on how good the budget is. The theme is spend, spend, spend and spend some more. If any organization, business or family in Canada spent the way the government is spendi

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2 Mr. Speaker, my colleague's speech was thoughtful, highlighting that the government continues to fail, and its legacy of broken promises.

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2 Mr. Speaker, I trust the member balances her budget every month. She is asking this House what Canadians say regarding spending more money than they are taking in. Let us say a company is spending money, increasing the wages of its employees at the employees' cost, and saying,
