Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Oshawa. Indeed, I will be splitting my time with my colleague. As I said, if we were playing baseball, the umpire would have called the government “out” by now. That is not all. Even CERB, EI, had multiple changes, which is the main part of this bill after all.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I stand today to table a petition by my constituents of Edmonton Manning and concerned citizens across Canada pertaining to the ongoing crisis in Tigray. Just like many Canadians, I was shocked and heartbroken to read about the systemic killings of hundreds of civilians, including women and children, by the Ethiopian government's forces.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Madam Speaker, it has been over a year since the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in Canada. Despite the government's messaging at the time that it was not a threat or a reason for worry, the virus spread across the country. The government finally decided to shut down our borders, a little too late.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, to open the economy and save the industries we need two things: vaccination and rapid testing. Those are two important elements to be able to put things into perspective. For the future, internal tourism is a big industry also and we have to pay attention to it as well.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the government has been preoccupied with trying to find someone to blame for everything, specifically the opposition parties. We now have in front of us a very important discussion about a very important industry. I am concerned with the hospitality industry in general, and of course tourism on top of that.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I happen to serve with the member on the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. The answer is very simple. I came from the business world where accountability, productivity and results are important. There have to be results. The government is only good at how much it spends on a credit card.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his very straightforward point. We know the government has dragged its feet on everything since the start of the 42nd Parliament. It drags its feet on every piece of legislation in the House in order to give less time to opposition parties to question.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, the hon. member needs to probably find some market where he can sell the nonsense he is saying. There is no market for what he is saying because there is no credibility in what he is saying. The government controls the agenda of the House, and it was very good at blaming others when it screwed up on that specific agenda.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I do not think any of my colleagues, from either side of the aisle, would disagree with me when I say that this bill is incredibly important to Canadians. We are now over a year into this pandemic. I know that the first case in Canada was confirmed in January 2020, and the first recorded case of COVID-19 in Alberta was in March of last year.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for her wonderful speech. It speaks to her experience working and serving in the United States for Canada. The question I have is this. We lack clarity on Line 5. It is as important to the United States as it is to Canada. When can we, as representatives of Canadians and the Canadian public, expect the government to clarify this situation?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's display of the importance of Canada-U.S. relations. In light of the discussions, the oil and gas industry comes to mind for Alberta and the rest of Canada. Today, there is a report about Democrat Senator Manchin, saying that he has split with President Biden on the XL pipeline decision.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague touched on all aspects of this motion, and I hope that at the end of the day we form a committee. In this motion, there is a lot of interest for, I hope, all political parties and the regions of Canada having such a very important partner, the United States.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the minister for his detailed speech. However, one thing I was trying to get sense of from his speech was whether he supports today's motion presented by our party. Does the minister support today's motion?

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am also presenting a petition on the Uighur community genocide. The Chinese Communist Party is subjecting the Uighur Muslims to atrocities, which meet most, if not all, the criteria for genocide as outlined in the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, as much as I would like to answer the question from my colleague and neighbour for Edmonton Strathcona, we still do not have the text in front of us. In order to answer that question, we at least need that text. This brings us back to what we were asking for, which is to have transparency and clarity in front of us so parliamentarians are able to examine what went into the document and are at least able to access—
