Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, the member mentioned dancing. If anyone is dancing, endless dancing, it is the government. This is not the first time the government is dancing around without coming up with a better deal. We always have to aim for perfection. We have to aim for better. If we try to say that we are not going to aim for that perfection or for getting a better deal, then we are not doing our job.

Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, that is a very good question. We talked about that. I personally asked the minister how many pages were in the agreement. It is a simple question that anyone would ask at the beginning, but she was not able to answer it. Throughout the committee hearings and in the House of Commons, we were faced with these uncertainties, with no direct answers.

Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the hon. member for Langley—Aldergrove. Just before Christmas, we finally saw the text of the Canada-UK transitional trade agreement. This deal has the goal of implementing a copy and paste of CETA until a comprehensive agreement can be implemented.

International Trade  Madam Speaker, they say history repeats itself from time to time. With the government it seems to happen all too often. We are dealing with yet another eleventh-hour trade deal with the United Kingdom, our closest ally. With only one day left in this parliamentary calendar, how can the government expect this deal to be subject to thorough scrutiny in Parliament before the December 31 deadline, and how much will this incompetence cost Canadian taxpayers in mitigation measures?

Search for Missing Woman  Mr. Speaker, three years ago, a family in my riding saw their daughter for the last time. Nadia Atwi told her parents, "Bye, Mom. See you tomorrow.” That tomorrow never happened. Nadia has now been missing all this time and her family is looking for any answers or clues to her whereabouts.

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, our entire economy has been crippled by the war the government has waged on the oil sector in Alberta. Our natural resources sector decline was due to Liberal inaction. At least this is the feeling of my constituents of Edmonton Manning, who are now at their breaking point.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, this bill has been through the House twice already, once last Parliament and once this Parliament. The government is not listening to the amendments coming from all parties and all stakeholders. What would the member tell the government to do in order to make the bill as perfect as it should be?

Keystone XL Pipeline  Mr. Speaker, I stand today on an issue close to my constituents: the Keystone XL pipeline. This important endeavour is now the subject of scrutiny south of the border, as the new administration is taking office. COVID-19 shook the lives of every Canadian. It took the jobs of many, and now we need to prepare for our economic recovery by safeguarding projects of national interest, such as Keystone XL.

Canada Revenue Agency Act  Madam Speaker, at the beginning I would like to congratulate the hon. member for Vancouver Kingsway for his speech and his call for support for this very important issue. It is very close to my heart and I have always hoped to see this debated on the floor of the House of Commons.

Fall Economic Statement  Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the opportunity to get in the last question for tonight. I have never heard the former leader of the Green Party talk about nuclear energy as a solution for greener energy and a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I would like to hear her comment on this specific topic.

Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, good morning on a cold snowy Edmonton day. Does anything in Bill C-10 suggest that CRTC would change its mandate or limit its role as an effect of the bill?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, the bill addresses a very important issue: the security and safety of Canadians, especially in major cities. I hear this from across the aisle too. We know arms smuggling is a big problem here because we have such large borders, and we know it is happening every day.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member on the other side mentioned a few countries, such as Malta, those in the European Union and throughout the United Nations. It seems from what she mentioned that the bill does not agree with other practices or laws out there. Can she be specific on where the disagreement lies between Bill C-6 and other countries?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, since the bill has come in a second time in two sessions of Parliament, I would like to ask how important is it for the government to listen a bit more this time and to take all the amendments from different parties into consideration to make sure that the bill would be the bill we are all looking for and Canadians are looking for.
