An Act Respecting Cyber Security Second reading of Bill C-8. The bill aims to strengthen Canada's cybersecurity against evolving threats by amending the Telecommunications Act and establishing a critical cyber systems protection act. It seeks to protect vital infrastructure in sectors like finance, telecommunications, energy, and transportation. While Liberals emphasize the urgency and privacy safeguards, opposition parties raise concerns about potential federal overreach, particularly regarding provincial jurisdictions like Hydro-Québec, broad ministerial powers, lack of compensation, and insufficient protection for institutions like hospitals and schools. The bill is a reintroduction of C-26. 24400 words, 3 hours in 2 segments: 1 2.

Question Period

The Conservatives primarily focus on the Public Safety Minister's gun buyback program, which they deem a $750-million scam that targets law-abiding firearm owners rather than addressing rising gun crime. They also extensively criticize the Liberal government's economic policies, highlighting soaring food prices (up 40% since 2015), overwhelmed food banks, and the PBO's warnings of “unsustainable” finances, demanding an end to taxes on food.

The Liberals champion their gun control measures, including a compensation program for prohibited firearms, emphasizing public safety over American-style gun laws. They highlight a growing economy, tax cuts for Canadians, and investments in affordable housing and social programs like dental care. The party also defends the Governor General and discusses Canada Post reform.

The Bloc criticizes the government's handling of the Canada Post strike, warning that reform will cut rural services and threaten essential mail delivery. They also condemn the Governor General's $52,000 French lessons and the $71 million cost of the monarchy.

The NDP opposes ending door-to-door mail delivery and advocates for Canada Post to offer postal banking and community services.

The Green Party highlights the empty Canadian Ombudsperson, which lacks tools to investigate Canadian mines violating Indigenous rights.
