Freedom of the Press  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government likes to pat itself on the back for openness and transparency, but when we look a bit closer at the man behind the curtain, we see clearly how Orwellian its plans are. Rather than fixing the problems with the CRTC, in typical Liberal fashion t

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, my comment was in regard to the leader of the Bloc's attack on Alberta energy workers and our energy industry. I asked him if he actually walked to Ottawa today. That was my comment and I stand by that comment.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague completely avoided answering my question. What is the government trying to hide? Why are the Liberals trying to block the Auditor General from reporting on supposedly $180 billion of spending? By the way, over half of that, according to Library and Archi

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, this is a very simple request. Throughout the last several years, we have seen the PBO, in its 2017 estimates and supplementary estimates commentary, saying there were billions missing from the infrastructure fund. We saw that with Mr. Fréchette, and we see it with t

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I was inspired to hear how in the middle of the campaign the member was able to give birth and still continue on and raise a family at the same time. We have heard a lot from the government about its new middle-class tax cut where, after the next three years, people

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the fact that you gave the member a few extra seconds to finish. I thank my colleague for his speech. It was wonderful for him to have recognized Lisa Raitt and also his father, and I thank him for doing that. However, regarding pharmacare, the membe

Resumption of debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, the throne speech specifically mentions help to address the opioid crisis.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition from many of my constituents and other Canadians calling on the government to act to end forced organ harvesting.

I understand that when it is a difficult question, a member can have a bit more time, but regardin

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I do not know how you could have possibly heard the member for Barrie—Innisfil over that. If the good people of Winnipeg North ever come to their senses and elect a Conservative MP and the Liberals are looking for another MP to stand and rage incoherently on demand,

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague made a comment about how the tariffs have been hitting our steel industry hard. I was looking at the PBO report, and two things stuck out. Last year, the Liberals collected $1.1 billion more in tariffs than they actually delivered to our suffering ste
