Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, for years, people in Attawapiskat have lived in mould-filled homes, in sheds and even in tents on a tiny plot of land. This is because the feds and Doug Ford refuse to transfer land so they can build the homes they need. The Liberals would rather protect the land int

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate that you talked about being respectful. We are dealing with the back bench. Sometimes I feel like they are trying to stone me to death with spitballs. Meanwhile, we are talking about a climate catastrophe, and they laugh, snicker and giggle. That mem

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, when I was a teenager, I worked in a milk store. There is nothing wrong with starting out in a milk store.

The fact is that the Conservatives can only get away with the kind

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, that is a really interesting question because certainly every time people who were workers from the energy sector came to speak, the Conservatives shut them down and refused to speak. When we went out to Alberta to meet with and to learn from the coal workers who had

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, I am very sorry that we had to witness the abuse at that committee—

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, that is within my purview—

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, I do not want to challenge you, but I think it will be the fifth time I have retracted and apologized. I can do it a sixth time: I retract and apologize. Can I continue?

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, we dealt with 20,000 bogus amendments from a party that did not want any worker representation at the table.
