Lena Metlege Diab Liberal Halifax West, NS
Madam Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the following two reports from the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights: the 20th report, in relation to the motion adopted on Thursday, February 8 regarding the hate and violence directed toward the 2SLGBTQI+ community, and the 21st report, regarding the proposals for the 2023 corrective act.
Bardish Chagger Liberal Waterloo, ON
Madam Speaker, pursuant to Standing Orders 104 and 114, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the 58th report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs regarding the membership of committees of the House. If the House gives its consent, I intend to move concurrence in the 58th report later this day.
Gérard Deltell Conservative Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C‑375, An Act to amend the Impact Assessment Act (federal-provincial agreements).
Madam Speaker, it is with much emotion and pride that I introduce my first bill. It is never too late to do good.
This bill amends the Impact Assessment Act to provide that the federal government and the provinces may, if certain conditions are met, enter into agreements to exempt certain projects from the application of that act.
Simply put, this means that for each project, only one assessment will be done to give the green light as quickly as possible to the green projects that are so badly needed in Canada.

Eric Melillo Conservative Kenora, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-376, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (orders prohibiting the possession of weapons).
Madam Speaker, it is my honour to introduce my private member's bill today, which simply would amend the Criminal Code to institute a mandatory weapons prohibition for all individuals convicted of a violent indictable offence. This is a common-sense approach to target violent offenders, given the alarming increase in violent crime we have seen across the country.
I look forward to debating this in greater detail when the time comes and having the support, hopefully, of colleagues on all sides of the House.

Alex Ruff Conservative Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-377, An Act to amend the Parliament of Canada Act (need to know).
Madam Speaker, my bill would basically introduce and formalize a process to enable parliamentarians to request a secret security clearance from the Government of Canada by deeming that they need access to the information for the purposes of processing that request.
Currently, individual parliamentarians have limited probability of obtaining a security clearance unless they possess one from a previous career or have the privilege of sitting on one of the special committees.
Ultimately, this bill would increase Parliament's ability to take national security and intelligence issues seriously while facilitating Parliament's ability not only to hold the government to account, but also to increase Canadians' trust in our federal democratic processes and institutions.

Dominique Vien Conservative Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-378, An Act amending the Canada Labour Code (complaints by former employees).
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Beauce for seconding my bill. I really appreciate it.
I am very proud to introduce this bill, which will make life easier for former employees of organizations subject to the Canada Labour Code. With this bill, I hope that we will all agree to give former workers a little more time to file harassment complaints.
The code currently provides for three months, which, in my opinion, is too short a time frame, whereas there is no limitation period for current employees. The bill, therefore, seeks to increase the time limit for former employees from three months to two years. Some will see that I am consistent in my approach, even though I changed this time frame when I was labour minister in the National Assembly.
