Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member is well versed in many things, and I would like to ask him about indigenous housing. It has come up a number of times. I have visited with the Siksika Nation in my riding, and they talk about the housing issues they face and the 2,500 homes that will be

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague is very knowledgeable in the area of housing, and I am not as knowledgeable. My understanding from the Siksika Nation is that they talk about 2,500 housing units being built across Canada per year. He has mentioned this a number of times. How would t

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I would like to present two petitions today. The first petition draws attention to what is happening in China by the Communist government against the Uighur population. The human rights violations by the Communist government, as reported by the Canadian press, nee

Petitions  Madam Speaker, the second petition is in regard to illegal trade in human organs from people who do not understand what is happening. That illegal trade in organs that is going on in the world needs to be stopped. Therefore, the petitioners are petitioning against the trade and i

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, tourism is important. I enjoy visiting my colleague's part of Canada. It is a beautiful place in our country, which has an industry that has been hurt. However, there are two parts to this: We need to protect lives and we need to protect livelihoods. If we do not

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, last week I met virtually with Royal Canadian Legion branches in my riding like Brooks, Strathmore, Taber and Standard. They told me they were in a desperate situation. They have lost their usual sources of funding and they may have to close permanently. They feel li

Bills of Exchange Act  Mr. Speaker, on the technicality of that, I was sitting here and I did not realize who said what. I just assumed it was coming to committee. The heritage committee is meeting right now and the parliamentary secretary is at that meeting, scheduling Bill C-5 to come before it. I wa

Bills of Exchange Act  Mr. Speaker, as we know, committees are the master of their own destiny. That is what I hear year after year. What happens in a particular committee? That will be interesting, as it always is. We do not know that destiny because we are not there yet. I will be interested in it a

Bills of Exchange Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the compliment from my colleague. Again, we both share the interest in history and would like to make sure people are aware of it. Is there any information she could share with me? We get a lot, so anything she could remind me of would be great. However

Bills of Exchange Act  Mr. Speaker, it has been an interesting day listening to speeches. I worked last night on this intervention. It is challenging, in the sense of my background and culture. It takes me back to the heritage committee when we dealt with this topic, and my understanding and knowledg

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it is not just Alberta that is suffering under the government's anti-resource ideology. The natural resource minister's province of Newfoundland is seeing the $2 billion west White Rose project thrown into jeopardy. One Newfoundlander from Marystown echoed the feelin

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the expertise that my hon. colleague brings to this issue as a doctor. When my elderly father was facing surgery, we had in place and discussed with a surgeon a do-not-resuscitate order. My father was very angry after the surgery because they resuscita

Lobster Fishery Dispute in Nova Scotia  Mr. Speaker, one of the things we often hear in questioning is an impugning of the RCMP. I find this a challenge. The RCMP on the ground is working very hard. One of the challenges the RCMP has is how severely undermanned it is. The numbers are in the double digits across the cou

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I think this has to do with the sense of a court deadline. Our Parliament is constructing legislation. We are working on it. I refuse to accept the idea of being blackmailed into not doing a full and thorough review. We did not do one with Bill C-14. I think the cour

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I very much appreciate the commentary that I have heard from my colleagues about this very significant issue today. One of the things I remember doing in a past life is working with doctors on “do not resuscitate” orders. It became very difficult for doctors, whos
