Pensions  Mr. Speaker, I guess they are trying to say it is the provinces' fault that they left women out. Let us talk about Pierre Trudeau, and no, I do not mean the foundation. In 1977, it was clear that the Canada Pension Plan Act penalized parents who chose to stay home to raise their children, so 40 years ago, his government changed the plan.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister himself participated in 20 or so fundraisers that gave rich people privileged access. He also participated in at least three activities organized by Canada 2020, a liberal group that is under no obligation to disclose who made donations in exchange for meeting the Prime Minister.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, it is really too bad that the Prime Minister will not answer these questions himself. But the member of Parliament refers to all parties, but only one party is the government and can make that sort of decision. We are talking about a $1-million donation to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation after a dinner that was attended by the Prime Minister.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it is incredible. They just do not get it. Speaking of broken promises, the government seems to be preparing to table the approval of Kinder Morgan. The Prime Minister was crystal clear during the campaign that if the Liberals formed government the review would have to be “redone”.

Natural Resources  Their principles are interim, Mr. Speaker. During the election campaign, the Prime Minister promised to put an end to Stephen Harper's approach to energy project development, but now that he is in office, the Prime Minister is not only taking Stephen Harper's approach, he is also using exactly the same process for approving pipeline projects.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, cash for access fundraising leads to conflicts of interest. Every government must do everything it can to avoid conflicts of interest, and that is even more important with the current government, whether it be the selling off of public infrastructure to private interests or the single sourcing of fighter jets to Boeing.

Freedom of the Press  Mr. Speaker, those journalists were on the Hill today calling for a full public inquiry. The government has no right to spy on journalists, period. The Liberals are all talk and no action. They refused to conduct a public inquiry. They refused to repeal Bill C-51 and they refused to fix Bill C-22.

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, in words only but never in action, and that is the problem. With the election of Donald Trump, forestry workers, along with many others, are extremely worried. The Liberals have still not managed to reach a new softwood lumber agreement with the U.S., and now, all of a sudden, the Prime Minister has indicated that he is open to renegotiating NAFTA, no less.

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, we all know Trump's priority. What we are trying to figure out is what are the Liberals willing to put on the table. We have not heard a word about that. It does not bode well for softwood lumber and it does not bode well for Canadian workers, because—this just in—Trump is not concerned with protecting Canadian interests.

Freedom of the Press  Mr. Speaker, Canada has dropped 10 spots in the world press freedom index. There are cases across the country of journalists under government surveillance. We know that a VICE journalist is being threatened with jail time by the RCMP to force him to reveal his source. All the Liberal government has to say is that it believes in freedom of the press.

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, the minister dodged the question, and he knows it. I guess he must not really be that proud after all, which is why he imposed time allocation. In 1977, the government reformed the Canada pension plan to ensure that women would no longer be penalized. The prime minister of the day was Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' bill removes rights from women. How can they be proud of that? In the wake of Stephen Harper's decade-long reign, Canadians have lost faith in our pipeline review process. The Liberals set up a panel to fix the review process, but most of the members of that panel are from the oil and gas industry.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, that is the choice? Industry hacks or nobody? Stephen Harper broke Canadians' trust in the pipeline review process, because he completely dismantled it. Instead of fulfilling their promise to fix the broken system, the Liberals have appointed a panel dominated by people with close ties to the oil industry to rewrite the rules for the oil industry.

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal bill on pensions will penalize women who take time out of the workforce to raise kids, a protection that has existed since 1977. The Liberal government insists that it is proud of the new Canada pension plan. How can it be proud of a plan that penalizes women?

Democratic Reform  Mr. Speaker, let me quote the Minister of Democratic Institutions on which voting system Canada should adopt, “the prime minister has a preference” and “I am arriving at a preference for a specific system”. What is the preferred Liberal system?
