Justice Mr. Speaker, there is no end to the Liberals' political interfering and scheming. After politicizing the fighter jet procurement file, they politicized the Navy's procurement projects. If the Liberals have nothing to hide, why will they not provide Vice-Admiral Norman with the d

International Trade Mr. Speaker, the Liberals signed the new free trade agreement with tariffs on aluminum and steel, which are still in place today. Then the Liberals imposed their own tariffs. Their improvised plan did not work. Approximately 86% of Chinese aluminum imports enter the United States

International Trade Mr. Speaker, as a result of the Prime Minister's lack of leadership, his government has failed in all the international trade files. Steel and aluminum tariffs still have not been lifted. Compensation is being paid out in dribs and drabs, and let us not forget that the existing s

Justice Mr. Speaker, our Prime Minister is trying to intimidate our leader with threats of legal action. He wants to beef up his credibility because his lack of leadership is causing the government to make mistakes. He hid the truth from Canadians for weeks, if not months, but now we ha

National Defence Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. It was extremely important. What retired Lieutenant-Colonel Perron said was extremely important. Another thing people need to know is that the Conservatives will always protect victims of crime and ensure that they are trea

National Defence Act Madam Speaker, of course we support that. I want to come back to something. The Liberal government does not want to admit that it is simply copying Bill C-77. They know full well that is what they are doing. I cannot blame them because that was the thing to do. However, it woul
