Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, we have good legislation and bad legislation, so depending on the legislation and the amendments to the legislation, we will look at how it protects or does not protect the vulnerable. There is still a lot of work to do and there are amendments that have to be put in place.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I rise to speak to this issue, as many of my colleagues have done throughout the day. It is most certainly a difficult issue that is faced by many individuals and society at large. Like many of my colleagues, I have had many conversations with my constituents and medical health professionals, with doctors who are in support and doctors who are not.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I appreciated my colleague bringing forward a number of the issues he outlined. I am wondering if he feels that had there been more time given by the courts, some of these issues could have been addressed and the legislation could have been more robust.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, again we hear about the $3 billion for palliative care. We have yet to find it in the budget. There is some language around home care, but there is no identification of palliative care. Could the member please clarify that?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her gracious words in describing what she has gone through. As she said, many people have gone through those tough times. I have a question. The minister, yesterday, stood in the House and stated that there were $3 billion for palliative care, yet there was nothing in the budget.

Air Canada Public Participation Act  Madam Speaker, I always believe open discussion is a good thing to have when we look to amend any bill. However, extracting fundamental components out of it prior to having those conversations is backward. We should maintain the fundamental components of the agreement and the deal that was put in place in 1988, but the committee can still come forward with additional amendments that look at other options, other than losing Canadian jobs.

Air Canada Public Participation Act  Madam Speaker, that is precisely the point. This was embedded within the agreement in 1988 because significant concessions were given by Canadian taxpayers. We want to ensure that Air Canada is viable, that it has opportunities in the market. It is our firm belief that there are many other options for doing that, not losing these Canadian jobs.

Air Canada Public Participation Act  Madam Speaker, the previous government was very proud of the 51 trade deals that it signed. They were negotiated in good faith, and they were signed by all parties. With respect to this, there is an issue with amending the legislation and not looking at other options. These are the issues that the Conservative Party has.

Air Canada Public Participation Act  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Perth—Wellington. I am pleased to speak to Bill C-10, an act to amend the Air Canada Public Participation Act and to provide for certain other measures. This bill would amend the articles of the Air Canada Public Participation Act that stipulate that the carrier undertake operational and overhaul maintenance in Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba.

Air Canada Public Participation Act  Madam Speaker, as the member laid out in his eloquent speech, there were significant taxpayer concessions that were given at the time of the agreement, but I also recall the Prime Minister sitting here not two days ago saying a deal is a deal is a deal as it related to the Saudi arms deal.

Air Canada Public Participation Act  Madam Speaker, I was wondering if the member has any indication as to how this amendment would affect the level of safety regulations.

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal budget indicates that all public transportation money given to communities will be based on ridership numbers. This means that communities with underdeveloped public transit will receive less funds than those communities with robust, developed public infrastructure.

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, public transit is one of the most important infrastructure needs for Canadian communities. Last fall the Liberals made numerous promises in order to get elected. We heard those promises, and they have delivered on none. The minister talks about fast-tracking public transit projects, but all we are seeing is road repair and data collection.

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component, National and Regional Projects of the New Building Canada Plan, and how much money has been earmarked for projects of interest which have been planned but not yet been announced: (a) what funds have been allocated to each province and territory; (b) what is the number of projects in each province and territory; (c) how much money has been earmarked for each project listed in (b); (d) what data was used to determine which projects would be selected; and (e) when will these projects be announced?

Events in Brussels  Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of my constituents in the riding of South Surrey—White Rock and all residents to stand in solidarity with the people of Brussels. This morning, 31 innocent people were murdered and over 100 were injured in a series of attacks. I want to acknowledge the work done by the Belgian military, police, and first responders, who have been working tirelessly since this incident occurred.
