Agriculture and Agri-Food Members debate a report on food security and processing capacity. Conservatives argue the carbon tax negatively impacts farmers and increases food insecurity, advocating for Bill C-234. Liberals criticize this as a stalling tactic, hindering debate on government bills like the Canada-Ukraine trade agreement. Other parties discuss the need for strengthening regional processing, addressing labour shortages, and implementing a mandatory grocery code of conduct. 15300 words, 2 hours.
National Framework for a School Food Program Act Second reading of Bill C-322. The bill seeks to establish a national framework for a school food program, mandating the Minister to consult with provinces and stakeholders. Supporters argue it is necessary for children's well-being and academic achievement, noting Canada is the only G7 country without such a program. Critics, however, call it an "admission of Liberal failure" that won't address the root causes of food insecurity, blaming inflationary spending and carbon taxes. Some also raise concerns about federal interference in provincial education jurisdiction. 7800 words, 1 hour.

Ways and Means Motion No. 19—Speaker's RulingPoints of OrderPrivate Members' Business
The Speaker Greg Fergus
Yesterday, the House leader of the official opposition raised a point of order regarding Ways and Means Motion No. 19, arguing that under the rule of anticipation, the ways and means motion was out of order. He quoted extensively from House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, in that regard.
After his intervention, other members indicated that they would return to the House to offer their own observations on this complex point of order.
Given that we have seen the matter of similar bills being raised several times over the past few years, the Chair believes the current situation would benefit from a thorough explanation and a comprehensive ruling.
However, I do not believe there are sufficient grounds at the moment to prevent the House from considering the ways and means motion, the purpose of which is to allow taxation legislation to be brought in. Until such time as I can return to the House with a more detailed ruling, I will allow proceedings on Ways and Means Motion No. 19 to continue. If the motion is concurred in, I will allow the bill based thereon to subsequently be brought in and for debate to begin on it. I intend to return to the House on the matter of the similarity between bills as soon as possible.
I thank members for their attention.
