Health  Mr. Speaker, 19 residents have died from COVID-19 at Parkview Place in Winnipeg. COVID cases are rising in this facility and in other care homes owned by the federal government across the country. Their disregard for seniors and other residents, including disabled persons, during

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for his comments, although I am quite confused. Nowhere in this bill does it mention anything about limiting the ability of parents to have discussions with their children. We are talking about a barbaric practice that violates

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, we know conversion therapy does real damage. I am wondering why the Liberal government is choosing not to outlaw it outright. I say that because in the sixties there were behavioural experiments where they found long-term or permanent damage done to people participat

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I want to let members know how excited I am about the bill and how important it is. It has made me think of my former colleague at the University of Winnipeg, Catherine Taylor, who won a precedent-setting ethics committee review to allow kids who are part of the 2SLG

Health  Mr. Speaker, in Manitoba, residents and families at Parkview Place care home are in a crisis. There are now 14 deaths due to COVID-19. Families are devastated. The Liberal government has done nothing to keep people safe during the pandemic. They refuse to get profit out of long-t

Guaranteed Liveable Basic Income  Mr. Speaker, more than 40,000 Canadians have signed a petition to support Motion No. 46, which calls on the federal government to replace CERB with a permanent guaranteed liveable basic income while strengthening our current and future government public services and programs. If

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's mention of Manitoba. Currently in Manitoba we are facing a Liberal government that is trying to filibuster, putting the lives of Manitobans at risk, and we also have the Pallister government, which is cutting back on health care. It is L

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for her comments on long-term care homes. Currently a long-term care home in my riding is suffering from an outbreak. My feelings are that the government has not done enough. Its current filibustering at the health committee,

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I wanted to share some information with my hon. colleague and then proceed to a question. There are over 300 cases of COVID in downtown Winnipeg alone, which includes a massive outbreak in a seniors residence. People are dying. We have a 6.3% positivity rate in me

Child Care  Mr. Speaker, COVID cases are increasing and people are worried about their jobs, their kids and the health of their loved ones. Instead of building a universal child care and early learning system that would help families, the Prime Minister would rather throw us into an election

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, at a time when we see the worst health and economic crisis, all Liberal actions have hit the heart of Canadians who are struggling, including those in my riding, where people are losing jobs and are even at risk of losing housing. Why does the government continue

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the people who are suffering the most during the WE scandal are students, and that is abhorrent. It is a real slap in the face to students who are struggling. Like the Liberal government, when the Conservatives were in power, they found themselves with many issue

Lobster Fishery Dispute in Nova Scotia  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member opposite for speaking about his disdain for what is going on. We just presented a unanimous consent motion affirming the treaty and, in terms of his disdain, recognizing that the Mi'kmaq nation deserves the full and equal protection of the

Lobster Fishery Dispute in Nova Scotia  Madam Speaker, the member across the way spoke a lot about systemic racism. Unfortunately we have yet another example of the government's systemic racism: its failure to uphold its constitutional duty to ensure the rule of law was applied and to take the necessary actions to prot

Lobster Fishery Dispute in Nova Scotia  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues for bringing this important debate forward. I want to go back to the whole notion and definition of a “moderate livelihood”. Currently, the Mi'kmaq fishers have less than 0.15% of the traps in St. Marys Bay, unlike the commercial fishers who cu
