Questions on the Order Paper   2SLGBTQI+ communities. Since 2021, WAGE has invested approximately $10.5 million in 36 organizations that proactively include transgender people within their reach of services and those solely working with this population. As highlighted in budget 2023, the Government of Canada plans

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I will share with my colleague that I am no longer the parliamentary secretary for Veterans Affairs. I am the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Rural Economic Development. However, my heart and soul are still in supporting veterans. This, of course

Industry committee  Thank you, MP Masse. I understand that the changes needed to be brought forward in a rapid manner, but there are still some discussions about how we will move forward on a longer time frame. Mr. Vis.

Privilege   the fact that there was a scheduled vote immediately following question period that day. If one goes to the House of Commons site, unfortunately, the blues are no longer available. That is interesting; it makes a person curious as to why. If one attempts to access the blues today, one

Persons with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, Canadians with disabilities have been ignored by Liberals and Conservatives for decades. The result is that they can no longer keep up with the cost of living, and the Liberal solution is $200 a month. That is not even enough for groceries. Meanwhile, Canada's

Firearms  Mr. Speaker, as the Leader of the Opposition knows, we are in the process of establishing that buyback program. The priority was making sure those guns were no longer available to buy, to sell, to bequeath or to use. That has been the case for four years. What the Leader

Finance committee  I don't, but what I've said previously at committee is worth repeating, I think. Right now, at least in our understanding of the guidelines, unless it reaches 35%, the bureau is not in the habit of challenging. I imagine it's changing, aligned with the fact that it's changing

Emergency Preparedness   funded the training of 600 wildfire fighters and 125 indigenous fire guardians. These firefighters are ready to work now, and they will be on the ground this summer to protect our communities. The training program is still recruiting, and we are on pace to reach 1,000 new wildland

Finance committee  If memory serves me a little, I think the bureau reviewed that merger and didn't find that it reached the threshold of a substantial lessening of competition. Here we're talking about remedies, so I don't think it would have had a bearing on it.

Finance committee   lessening or prevention of competition could continue to move through because they could not necessarily be challenged by the commissioner in front of the tribunal. However, those that do reach that threshold of substantial lessening or prevention of competition are taken to tribunal

Employment Insurance Act   for Bill C-318 to be passed. It is unfortunate that the issue has reached the House through a private member's bill and not as a government bill, given that in 2019 and again in the last election the Liberals promised to introduce legislation in this area. I note that since

Environment committee   on target to reaching our goal for 2026.

Environment committee   carbon and lowering emissions with market-based instruments. I want to say again that the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, contrary to what my colleague said, says we are on track to reaching our emissions reduction targets. It's also worth noting

The Budget   meeting with businesses and not-for-profit organizations and attending all kinds of events. I had days with back-to-back meetings with people who reached out. Not one person said they were happy with the Liberals' budget. One resident said the budget is like throwing spaghetti

Finance committee  . In other words, it's another area among many that we've talked about today in which the burden of proof would be reversed. It would no longer be incumbent on the competition commissioner to make the case. Rather, the merging parties now would have to prove that it is not anti
