Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, Canadians and others need to be free to raise concerns, whether on the Internet or elsewhere. Obviously things that are illegal, that inspire violence or incite criminal activity need to be regulated. When it comes to general discussions and raising concerns, we ha

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, the member has indicated another shortcoming of the bill. As I mentioned in my speech, we need to make sure that we are promoting Canadian content and not advantaging certain providers over others. There needs to be an even playing field for everybody, and I am not

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, it is a privilege to speak to Bill C-10. To quote the Minister of Canadian Heritage in the official background documents for the legislation, it states unequivocally: Canadians have a right to recognize themselves in the music they listen to and the television th

Hastings—Lennox and Addington  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to honour the following people and businesses. They have gone above and beyond during the pandemic response in Hastings—Lennox and Addington. I honour Karen and Harold Bailey from Centre Hastings; Joan Donaldson, Joanne Carrol and Jackie Scott from Tud

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I have a similar petition to those raised by my two colleagues in relation to the concern that we have with international trafficking in human organs and harvesting that is done without the victim's consent, a truly grisly practice. There are two bills, Bill C-350 an

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate those comments. I just have a question. I feel like we are not answering some of the concerns that other groups have. I am getting emails, not from religious groups but from feminist organizations and LGBT individuals. One email I got from We the Female

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, those comments have nothing to do with this debate. They are personal attacks that have been taken out of context and are in fact false. I would prefer that we return to the debate—

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I am concerned that an aspect of this issue is not being discussed. The LGBT community has many different members in it and they do not all have the same opinion. I want to read a brief excerpt from an email I received from a constituent, a person in the LGBT com

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, unfortunately my questions are slightly longer than very short, but I will try to keep it brief. For me, the devil is in the details in all of this. I have two quick questions for the hon. minister. In the CPA policy statement, which is linked to on the justice

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, I recently met the reeve and CEO of Stone Mills, a beautiful community in my riding. Like many municipalities, it has been inundated by the presence of organized crime groups that are running illegal cannabis operations worth many millions of dollars. Municipalitie

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned certain Liberal delays and other approaches to the pandemic, which have cost Canadians their livelihoods, and even their lives. In her opinion, does the member feel that the stall and delay tactics, which may cost us even more lives, are being

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague seemed to be painting a contradiction that the Conservatives do not care about fighting COVID because they are putting forward a motion to look at ways to deal with COVID better. I am wondering how that could possibly be a contradiction. In my min

Relations with Indigenous Peoples  Mr. Speaker, the Tyendinaga blockade occurs in my riding of Hastings—Lennox and Addington, and I want to give the member across the aisle a sense of how the people in my riding are feeling. People are upset and angry and want to know why the law does not apply to everyone. If a

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, across Canada, concerns are rising about the Liberals' focus on legal firearm owners versus efforts to stop gangs and guns. The Liberals are proposing a gun buyback program that could cost billions of dollars, much more than they spend actually combatting gang crime.

Bay of Quinte Water Levels  Mr. Speaker, since my election as the member of Parliament for Hastings—Lennox and Addington, I have heard from constituents, mayors and chiefs about water levels in the Bay of Quinte. Many believe these historically high water levels are due in part to the International Joint Co
