Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  Mr. Speaker, if Questions Nos. 94, 95, 102, and 110 could be made orders for return, these returns would be tabled immediately.

Motions  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I respect the motion that the member has put forth in terms of asking for unanimous consent, and we were generous in terms of listening to the preamble leading up to it. I want to give a quick response to that. Every member of the House

Asian Heritage Month  Madam Speaker, I stand to recognize Asian Heritage Month and the endless contributions that people of Asian descent have made to Canada's social and economic fabric. We are who we are as a nation because of those contributions. Our rich Canadian Asian heritage comes from people o

Life Means Life Act  Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure that I rise today to address what I know is an important issue in the minds of many individuals in dealing with the broader issue of crime. When I look at Bill C-229, I see a flashback to the Conservative government. I know a number of the Conser

Income Tax Act  Mr. Speaker, I can assure the member that I was not laughing at him. However, it is with pride that I stand today to comment on Bill C-2, in a special shirt with a unique-looking tie in celebration of Ukraine heritage. The fact is that this is an implementation bill that ultima

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, I would ask that all questions be allowed to stand.

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, with respect to violence, it is worth noting two very quick points. The first point is that we need to recognize how important it is that all members be allowed to vote, and there were other issues surrounding what had taken place. I also happened to be there and I

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, one of the reasons this matter needs to go before the procedure and House affairs committee is that I believe we will get a better reflection of what has actually taken place. I would emphasize that I have witnessed incidents on other occasions. A couple of years ag

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I must admit I am a little bit disappointed because I sat very patiently listening to many members of the opposition talk about what they felt and expressed what they felt had taken place. I believe that the government members have held themselves quite well while li

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I believe that if you were to peruse Hansard you would find that I am absolutely relevant to the issue at hand. What we are talking about is an incident that occurred not that long ago on the floor of the House. Using my parliamentary experience, I was reflecting on

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I will try as much as possible to assure House members that we on the government side are taking the matter very seriously, and this is the reason why, when we look at the motion that has been brought forward by the House leader from the New Democratic Party, we want

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I have a few thoughts I would like to share with members. One of the things I believe is important to recognize is that, at the end of the day, what we have witnessed is something, no doubt, all of us will want to reflect on. I would ask members to be courteous as

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I am speaking on the motion, for the member. If he were listening attentively, he would understand the point. For example, there was the very heated debate inside the Manitoba legislature that took place during the 1990s. I witnessed members from the opposition com

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I sat very patiently listening to other members address a very serious issue. I would ask that they respond in kind and listen to what I have to say on this very important issue. We need to put things into perspective, much as I did back in the 1990s when we had mem

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, part of my concern is that a number of opposition members are trying to promote a falsehood, which concerns me a great deal. The essence of the falsehood is that the government on numerous occasions has afforded every member of the House the ability to address this
