Mr. Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.
Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 52, I ask leave that, when the House adjourns, we can debate an important matter requiring urgent consideration. As we all know, Islamic terrorists returning to Canada after fighting our own Canadian soldiers and our allies is a matter of national security. Canadians expect to be kept informed about this threat, and the government must show that it has a solid plan to keep them safe, which should be any government's priority. Since the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness is unable to provide specific, up-to-date figures about the number of terrorists who have come back, who they are, where they live, and whether they are being properly monitored, I am requesting an emergency debate on this subject so Canadians can get accurate, up-to-date information about these traitors plus assurances that the government is doing everything in its power to keep Canadians as safe as possible.

I thank the member for Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles for raising the subject, but I do not believe that it meets the requirements of the Standing Orders.
The House resumed consideration of Bill C-63, A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 22, 2017 and other measures, as reported (without amendment) from the committee, and of the motions in Group No. 1.

Mr. Speaker, before I resume my comments, I want to go back to question period and what I thought, quite frankly, was an egregious display of contempt for our parliamentary democracy.
The minister was asked multiple times to answer whether he sold his shares in Morneau Shepell in advance of his tax reform announcement, and he failed to answer the question on multiple occasions.
It begs the question, in the absence of the minister's answering those questions on a bill that, quite frankly, he has influence over, I would call into question the ability of Canadians to have confidence in conducting further business on this bill.
Therefore, as a result, I move:
That the debate do now adjourn.
