An Act to Repeal Certain Restrictions on Shipping Second reading of Bill C-264. The bill would repeal the ban on large oil tankers loading or unloading crude oil at ports on British Columbia’s north coast. Conservatives support repeal to allow northern export projects to be considered, while the Bloc warns of risks to marine ecosystems and Indigenous concerns; the Liberal speaker emphasizes consultation and collaborative resource development. 8500 words, 1 hour.

Strengthening Canada's Defence Sector Act Second reading of Bill C-40. The bill would establish the Defence Investment Agency as a Crown corporation with expanded authority to procure equipment, invest in defence industries and support Canadian suppliers, aiming to speed delivery and strengthen domestic capacity. Liberal members say it would streamline fragmented processes while retaining ministerial and parliamentary accountability. Conservatives and Bloc members question whether it weakens oversight, enables conflicts of interest and adds bureaucracy; they call for stronger safeguards and transparent reporting. 41700 words, 5 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Statements by Members

Question Period

The Conservatives criticize rising debt and interest costs, linking Liberal spending to inflation and families’ financial strain, and highlight growing food-bank use as evidence of an affordability crisis. They challenge the government over steel jobs and tariffs, demand details on EU immigration plans, call to repeal the west coast tanker ban, and press for an appeal of a ruling on drug trafficking.
The Liberals promote affordability measures including the groceries and essentials benefit, child benefits, dental care and school meals, while defending Canada’s strong fiscal position. They emphasize job-creating projects and investment, protect steel and aluminum jobs amid U.S. tariffs, and highlight expanded trade with Europe and energy development.
The Bloc oppose Bill C-39, warning it could bypass environmental protections, lock young people into fossil fuels, and undermine workers’ right to strike. They also criticize the government for downplaying human rights abuses in its dealings with Turkey and the UAE.
The NDP press the government to withdraw Bill C-39, citing First Nations’ opposition and Indigenous rights.

Adjournment Debates

Career college student grants Garnett Genuis criticizes the government for ending student grants at private career colleges, arguing they provide job-relevant training amid low workforce participation. Kevin Lamoureux cites job growth, Red Seal investments and youth unemployment figures, and says provinces lead on aligning post-secondary training with employment.
Spaceport technology safeguards Jacob Mantle questions the $200-million investment in Maritime Launch Services and asks when Canada will sign its technology safeguards agreement with the United States, arguing launches involving U.S. technology depend on it. Kevin Lamoureux defends the spaceport as essential to Canadian sovereignty and industry growth but does not provide an update, suggesting Mantle raise the agreement during question period.
Prime Minister’s Brookfield ties Michael Cooper alleges that the Prime Minister’s financial interests in Brookfield create conflicts of interest and says government decisions benefit the company. He questions the Prime Minister’s blind trust, ethics screen and refusal to disclose decisions made despite identified conflicts. Kevin Lamoureux rejects the allegations as personal attacks, defending the Prime Minister’s compliance with existing ethics rules and oversight.
