Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my friend and colleague for the work he has done on this bill and its introduction. The transfer, in particular of Paul Bernardo, that he spoke about in his speech was indeed a slap in the face to the victims' families. The Liberals are alwa

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, we can see the NDP spinning its partisan talking points. I am here thoughtfully discussing, and asking questions and seeking answers on Bill C-58. I asked questions throughout my remarks today about how this piece of legislation is going to affect everyday Canadians

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, if he had listened to my speech, I talked about what is contributing to the cost of living crisis, which is also contributing to why labour is the way it is today. Canadians are literally living paycheque to paycheque. Many Canadians are $200 or less away from going

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, the credibility they have is zero. We see this with my private member's bill, Bill C-318. They voted against it and then they scooped it up and put it in the fall economic statement. It just proves that the Liberals are out of touch and out of ideas and that it is ti

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, this is an example of the petty, gut-wrenching politics the Liberals partake in. All they do is deflect and divide. That is what they are good at. If anybody listened to my speech, I posed a lot of questions, because that is what debate is for. Debate is for hearing

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, we know that improving labour relations should be the ultimate goal of any government. It is better for workers, employers, the economy and all Canadians. However, the current labour climate suggests that we are moving in another direction. Across the country, we are

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, we know that Bill C-318, which would amend EI and the Labour Code for adoptive and intended parents to give them time to attach, needs royal recommendation. I am presenting a petition today in which citizens and residents of Canada call upon the Government of Canada

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the most expensive government in our history, it is Canadians who are suffering the real world consequences. There are now a record number of Canadians who are using food banks. Housing costs have doubled. Canadians are reportedly cutting back

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Were you able to communicate with him regularly, or was there a lag in communication from that initial time?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I can't even put the words to that. I think you really speak to the determination of a mom to be reunited. It is just so wonderful. I understand that you travelled to be reunited. Do you feel comfortable in speaking about some of the fears you had when travelling?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much for sharing that. I know that my time is running out, but I just want to say to Vladyslav—he doesn't have his headpiece on right now—that you are very courageous and you are very loved. I am so glad to hear of your reunification story with your mother. You a

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to thank each of our witnesses, not only for being willing to share their stories today but also for their resilience and for bravery in coming forward to expose the realities of the war in Ukraine. I want to thank you so much for that.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, November is Adoption and Permanency Education Month. With that in mind, I am honoured to take this opportunity to present a petition from Canadians who are calling on the Liberal government to provide a royal recommendation for my private member's bill, Bill C-318.
