Government Appointments  Mr. Speaker, I imagine the Prime Minister will have no trouble making public what the Americans did say in this case. The Prime Minister attempted a partisan appointment that led to scandal. The nomination was removed, and now we are proposing a way forward, not to benefit our

Government Appointments  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is responsible for the fiasco surrounding Madeleine Meilleur's appointment. If he calls that a success, then I would hate to see what he considers a failure. He has an opportunity to ensure that future nominations are not stained by his attempt to

Foreign Investment  Mr. Speaker, how can the Prime Minister claim that there were no national security concerns when there has been no national security review? That review only takes place when the minister responsible for the statute orders it, and there has been no such order. Now the Prime Mini

Foreign Investment  Mr. Speaker, what the Prime Minister just said is demonstrably false. There has not been a national security review. That has to be ordered by the minister, who never ordered it, and we know that because the company put it out in an official statement to try to reassure investors

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, a Prime Minister who will not even meet the Harper targets that he used to ridicule is not a leader on climate change. What would be wrong with simply striking all mentions of the Paris agreement from the planned G20 statement on climate, the Prime Minister asked M

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister also promised a nation-to-nation relationship. He promised to stop taking first nations children to court. He vowed to end boiled water advisories. He swore that he would conduct some consultations. So far he has failed on all fronts. Could the Pr

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, one of his solemn promises was that there would be an institutional change. The Liberals promised to fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Will the Prime Minister stand up and confirm his support for the NDP's bill to fu

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, according to Der Spiegel the Prime Minister encouraged members of the G20 to remove all references to the Paris agreement from the joint statement. Can the Prime Minister confirm or deny that report? The question is about the joint statement, nothing else.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, according to the Standing Orders, a member of the House cannot intentionally mislead Parliament. Sometimes it is an honest mistake and that is why I wanted to give the minister of industry a chance to correct himself. In a press release from Norsat on June 2, it sai

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, in 2016, in August in fact, the Liberals voted for the first time in our history against nuclear disarmament. In the words of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, “Political leaders will decide whether or not a nuclear war actually takes place, yet politicians act as if peace is

Foreign Takeovers  Mr. Speaker, this is an important issue for all Canadians and for our security. I know the minister, and I know him to be an honourable gentleman, so I want to give him a chance to correct something he has just said. In his first answers, he was particularly prudent. In his fir

Foreign Takeovers  Mr. Speaker, I expect the minister would have no problem sharing the national security agencies' verdicts on this deal. In March, the Prime Minister overturned a decision that Stephen Harper made and allowed China to take over the high-tech company we are talking about. Barely

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I asked yesterday about the UN nuclear disarmament negotiations that included over 120 countries. The Prime Minister said, “There can be all sorts of people talking about nuclear disarmament, but if they do not actually have nuclear arms, it is sort of useless...”

Cannabis Act  Mr. Speaker, since coming to power the new Liberal government has not been shy about imposing time allocation to shut down debate, even on very important topics. We are talking about a major change in our society. We are talking about legalizing marijuana. We would have liked po

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, that is so Orwellian. Canada voted last August against nuclear disarmament. We refused to take part in March. Those talks are starting again at the United Nations in a couple of weeks. Will we be there or are we going to get talking points that contradict the bare r
