Veterans Affairs November 8th, 2024
Madam Speaker, after relenting last year, the Liberal Minister of Defence promised that “chaplains are not—and will not—be banned from prayer on Remembrance Day”. However, that is not true. The Liberals have now issued an even more draconian order, saying that chaplains will be monitored and that disciplinary measures will be imposed on those who say the word “God” or those who pray. This censorship is unthinkable.
Will the government finally relent, end its attack on the work of chaplains and allow them the freedom to pray?
Veterans Affairs November 8th, 2024
Madam Speaker, last year, the Liberals imposed a ban on military chaplains from reciting prayers on Remembrance Day.
Chaplains, veterans and Canadians immediately fought back, and the government relented. Well, they did for a year. However, the directive is back. The Liberals are imposing their ideological ban yet again.
Remembrance Day is a time for reflection, healing and hope. For many veterans, praying is part of that journey.
Will the government end its attack on the vocation of chaplains and allow them the freedom to pray?

Privilege October 7th, 2024
Madam Speaker, the hon. member talked about the F-35 jets. He claimed that was a scandal because a fund was put forward to study whether it would be the right jet for our Canadian men and women in uniform. The NDP and the Liberals ran election campaigns calling it a scandal, saying that this jet should not be chosen by the Canadian military and our air force. What happened? After the Liberals starved the air force of resources for years, guess which jet they finally purchased. It was the F-35 jet. It gets better. Who supported them in that purchase? It was the NDP. This was so scandalous that the NDP got on board with the Liberals to make the purchase a decade late.

Madam Speaker, just because the NDP calls something a scandal does not make it a scandal. What is remarkable—
