Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. We do not even know if this person he is quoting exists, but he is using that voice in order to use unparliamentary language. It is unacceptable. He needs to withdraw and apologize.

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased we have this moment to come together to vote non-confidence in the Conservative leader yet again. I do not want to say I do not respect him. He is living in his 19-room mansion with his own private chef, and he thinks we need to get this election happening right away. I am wondering what he is so worried about.

Then I read Erin O'Toole's statements that Erin O'Toole was taken down by foreign interference by the Chinese Communist Party. Who was put in place? It is the guy now living in the 19-room mansion, the only leader in Canadian history who has never obtained a security clearance. Is it that he cannot get the security clearance? What are my hon. colleagues trying to hide over there? They all supported the member, who obviously did well from the Chinese interference that took down a credible leader like Erin O'Toole.

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, he cannot have a security clearance, but is he calling an election because Erin O'Toole has now said that it was the Chinese Communist Party that took Erin O'Toole out as leader of the Conservative Party while the rest of the droogs on the backbench went along with the new leader.

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I had actually said that he lives in Stornoway. I did not say he was from Stornoway.

We do know that Erin O'Toole has testified that it was interference from the Chinese Communist Party that helped bring him down and get the new member elected. We know that the leader of the Conservatives is unable to get a security clearance. What does it say about the only leader in Canadian history who has refused or cannot get a security clearance, and who is under a cloud that his election as Conservative leader—

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, I think there is really important question to be asked about the urgency of the member who lives in Stornoway trying to go to an election now. We learned from Erin O'Toole—

Madam Speaker, I am not surprised at the absolute disinterest in the murder of children and crimes against humanity from the members of the Conservative Party, but Canada needs to take a better stand. We have to speak up for the rule of international law, something the Conservatives are refusing to do and the Liberals are hiding on.

Humanity is watching us at this moment. Are we going to stand up to end the mass killings by the Israeli army in Lebanon and Gaza, yes or no?

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Madam Speaker, it is another dismal day in the House playing these games with the member for Stornoway, yet we learned this morning that 492 people in Lebanon were murdered by the Israeli Air Force, 90 who were children. We have learned continually about the direct murder of doctors, journalists, students and children in Gaza, war crimes against humanity—

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Madam Speaker, this is such an important morning, a chance for all Canadians to see parliamentarians stand up to vote non-confidence in the man who leads all the stunts from Stornoway. I am considering that the reason he is running ahead of this is his “axe the tax” claims. John Ivison, a good Conservative supporter, interviewed Ken Boessenkool, a former Harper aide, who said that there is a huge gap between what Conservatives say and what Conservatives do.

I hate to admit it, but Jason Kenney ran on “axe the tax” and then beefed up the industrial carbon tax in Alberta. Danielle Smith ran to axe the tax, and she beefed up the industrial carbon to $170 a tonne. Boessenkool says there is no way the member for Stornoway is going to axe the tax; he is just going to continue to scare people, frighten people and divide people, and then he is going to carry on with the policies as per usual.

[Business of Supply, September 24th, 2024]

Madam Speaker, the Conservatives were asking me, unofficially, to withdraw a comment about the member from Stornoway working at Dairy Queen. We do not actually know if he ever did work at Dairy Queen.

[Recent Deaths of First Nations People During Police Interventions, September 16th, 2024]

Mr. Speaker, before my career in politics, I worked for the first nations communities in Quebec. I remember the investigation into the police violence against the indigenous women in Val-d'Or and in Rouyn-Noranda and the need to deal with the racism in that sector. As far as the solution is concerned, we need to implement an agreement with first nations communities and the police across Canada to ensure that women and vulnerable people are protected.
