Elections Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, as I outlined in my speech, when the Liberals say something, we cannot believe what they say, and that is just another example of—

Elections Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, I believe the hon. colleague owes me an apology. I clearly did not say she lied.

Elections Modernization Act  I appreciate your intervention, Mr. Speaker. My colleague across the way should have listened to this debate, as I have, from the very beginning, by all members of Parliament, especially in the last couple of days, because this is our last day in the House.

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Mr. Chair, I deeply respect our hon. colleague across the way. I am going to offer that I have not read the same reports that he is referring to.

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Mr. Chair, I have listened to this debate right from the very start and I appreciate our colleagues sharing their stories and coming at this from a point of respect.

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Madam Chair, on a point of order, we have shown a considerable amount of courtesy to others when they are giving their debates.
