Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, the member's comment leaves me wondering why the specific amendments that he just spoke of were defeated by the Liberal members at committee when they were proposed. Amendments around searchability and interoperability were defeated. They had their chance at commit

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, I think that is pretty straightforward. Every province, every jurisdiction has to be on board with this idea.

Liberal Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Prime Minister, inflationary Liberal deficits have caused a world of hurt.
