Proceedings of the House and Committees Madam Speaker, we need those private members' bills. I am waiting to have a real debate in Parliament on a private member's bill that would impact farmers and business owners in my riding so that they would be able to transfer their own businesses to their kids without extra fees

Proceedings of the House and Committees Madam Speaker, the member has actually described, quite appropriately, the work of Parliament. This is exactly what we are seeking.

Proceedings of the House and Committees Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. During my speech, I mentioned that Parliament is an essential service.

Public Safety Mr. Speaker, Canada already has one of the most restrictive gun registration and control systems in the world. However, in the midst of a pandemic, the Liberals are going after law-abiding gun owners, including hunters and sport shooters, instead of tackling the source of the pro

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I invite her to look at what the Conservative Party did when it was in power.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Certainly, everyone agrees that we are supporting a bad deal that does not address matters like the softwood lumber dispute or government procurement, for instance.

Health Mr. Speaker, this government's lack of leadership shows in its approach to everything from the rail blockades to the coronavirus. According to Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer, the signs are worrisome. The World Health Organization is talking about a possible
