Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act  Madam Speaker, I too will add my voice to this debate. I want to thank Senator Miville-Dechêne for her hard work in steering this bill through the committee twice. We serve as co-chairs of the All Party Parliamentary Group to End Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, the most fundamental piece for me on Bill C-11 is around this whole idea of levelling the playing field.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the debate we are having here today I find to be quite interesting. The motion at hand is leading to the undermining of our institutions and removing some of the foundation of this place. Even our charter and the Constitution of this country recognize the supremacy of God.
