Privilege October 21st, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the first part of my colleague's speech the week before last and then his finishing up today. He did a great job summing up the corruption we have seen from across the way. I would like to give the member a little more time to talk about what his constituents are saying when he is out door knocking and about what he has seen in his nine years of being a member of Parliament in the House.

Mr. Speaker, the hypocrisy coming from the other side is mind-blowing.
The member started off by talking about breaking news with the RCMP. The Liberals have asserted throughout the whole debate that the RCMP wants nothing to do with this. The member across the way then said, “Well, listen, if only the Conservatives weren't doing what they're doing, the RCMP could do their job.” Is he kidding me? The hypocrisy and the talking points are changing on the fly.
Could the member wrap up and just highlight some more of the hypocrisy coming from the Liberals?
Privilege October 11th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I want to give our hon. colleague just one more brief opportunity to talk about the scandalous nature of the government.
Privilege October 11th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, that is beside that point, as the heckles come from NDP members. They are obviously very worried about their own positions.
What we are talking about is essentially the theft or misappropriation of about $400 million of Canadian taxpayer funds, which went to a green slush fund that was loaded with Liberal cronies, like the Liberal chair, who got rich. The Auditor General found 186 conflicts of interest, and the whistle-blower found, indeed, that there might be some criminality there. The Liberals like to say that the RCMP does not want to see these documents, but the RCMP does not know what is in these documents. Nobody does because they have been redacted.
If somebody stole something from the member, would he go to a committee or would he go to the RCMP? I ask because essentially what we are talking about is the theft of Canadian taxpayer funds.

Mr. Speaker, it is funny when NDP members stand up to talk about all the things they say they have done. They fail to mention that for four and a half to five years, as long as their agreement was in place, they propped up the government. They were complicit in all of the corruption and scandal that we are seeing.
Privilege October 10th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, if something is stolen from him, does the hon. member call the police or does he call a committee? We are talking about over $480 million and 186 conflicts of interest that the Auditor General has identified, and with that, $400 million of taxpayers' funding is gone, given to Liberal cronies, Liberal colleagues and people within that organization. All we are saying is to allow the RCMP the opportunity to read the documents unredacted.
If somebody steals something from the member, does he call the police or does he call a committee?
Brianna McDonald October 8th, 2024
Mr. Speaker, Brianna McDonald, a vibrant, intelligent 13-year-old girl, was abandoned by a system that should have provided mental health care and addiction care, the care she so desperately needed to help her overcome her demons. The system failed Brianna.
On August 23, Brianna was found unresponsive. She died by overdose, alone in a tent in a homeless encampment in Abbotsford, B.C. Instead of being provided with the care she needed, she was given needles and taught how to use them. Brianna had just turned 13. Did the Prime Minister call? No. Did the Minister of Health or Minister of Mental Health call? No.
Brianna's parents are in Ottawa today. What does the Prime Minister have to say to them now? Because of his failed radical drug policies, they will never see their daughter again.
Privilege October 2nd, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I would remind my hon. colleague from the NDP that this is not only the current government's record. The NDP has supported and propped up the government for the last five and a half to six years, so this is also its record of scandal and corruption.
Privilege October 2nd, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I will draw my hon. colleague to the original order of the House from back on June 10, which would have provided enough time, 30 days, for documents to be produced. However, we still have not seen them.
Privilege October 2nd, 2024
Mr. Speaker, there were 186 conflicts of interest. The member wants to stand up and point fingers, but just as the Liberals do all the time, they say it was not them or that the Conservatives are worse. They are not going to take any blame. That is all they say: Do not look here; there is nothing to see here. There were 186 conflicts of interest, with over $390 million in taxpayer funds.
