Party Membership  Mr. Speaker, in 2002, three women appeared on the cover of Time magazine as persons of the year. They were whistle-blowers. They took risks to reveal illegal or unethical practices in their own organizations. These women inspired me when I was a young lawyer in 2002. Today we h

Party Membership  Mr. Speaker, trust goes both ways, does it not? I think that is something the Prime Minister needs to remember. Women are quite often whistle-blowers, and I will explain why. For many years we were not part of boardrooms. We sat on the sidelines of what happens in the corporate

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There were two different answers given with respect to whether the rule of law was discussed at the justice committee. In one response, the House leader indicated that it was a decision, that the justice committee “concluded”, on the rule

Justice  Thank you, Mr. Speaker, but it is nice to see them defending her once in a while.

Justice  I will get the next question.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the House leader is completely incorrect. The justice committee did not make a finding that the rule of law was followed. She should withdraw that remark because that is misleading. If they want to talk about playing politics, the former attorney general testified t

Justice  Mr. Speaker, a minute ago the House leader indicated that the opposition members were playing politics with this matter. That is interesting because that is exactly the theme of my question today. On September 17, this is what was said in Jody Wilson-Raybould's testimony—

Business of Supply  moved: That the House take note of comments from the Member for Vancouver Granville that indicated she has not been able to fully explain the events that led to her resignation; and that the House call on the Prime Minister to waive full solicitor-client privilege and all Cabi

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I am at the matter that you asked me to address specifically, so I am going to take a bit of time to ensure I answer all your questions. Normally, committee problems are left for the committees themselves to sort out. However, there are exceptions. The words of Mr.

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate your advice, and I am sure you will determine where you want to cut me off and stop me from speaking. I rise today on a question of privilege concerning an egregious leak of proceedings at the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights today. As req

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister spins an incredible story, and indeed it is incredible, because it is not true. Let us take the tale of the tape, shall we? Two cabinet ministers have resigned from cabinet. There is one resignation of the best friend, the principal secretary to

Justice  Mr. Speaker, let us just level with Canadians. Something happened after January 14 that terrifies this government. They will go to a great extent to ensure that we never hear about it, but we will. The Minister of Foreign Affairs indicated that with respect to the concerns of th

Justice  Mr. Speaker, I feel like the hon. House leader is being paid by the word today. I would say this. I have very few words on this matter. What I would like to know is this. I am sorry. I cannot—

Justice  I cannot blame her, Mr. Speaker. I would not want to answer my questions either. I have one question, which is very simple. I would like to know if between September 4 and October 10 the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Office, any cabinet minister, any lobbyist or anyone a

Justice  Mr. Speaker, somebody is going to have to answer this question, because on September 4, the director of public prosecutions actually informed SNC-Lavalin that it would not be receiving a deferred public prosecution agreement. However, the audited financial statements of SNC-Laval
