Public Safety  Speaker, the member also knows that this government has been cracking down on crime across the country by making substantial reforms. When it comes to crime, we obviously support our police forces, the provinces and the municipalities, which overall are fully committed to fighting crime, including auto theft. We will not take any lessons from the Conservative Party when it comes to fighting crime.

International Trade committee  It's normal to give instructions, but it's not normal to do legislative handcuffing. I'm actually quite optimistic that the Senate foreign affairs and international trade committee will be making a recommendation to not move forward with the legislation or will be presenting amendments, and we think it's important that it do so.

International Trade committee  I'd say across the board that what's problematic here is legislating in favour of just one sector and against the interests of all other sectors. We think an important thing to be studied in the Senate committee is the interests of other sectors outside of agri-food. My comment about the lack of depth in the study was not about the level of work on the issue by members of Parliament; the main problem we saw was that there weren't many witnesses called from sectors outside of agriculture.

International Trade committee  Mr. Davidson was on that trip. We went with a group of Liberals and Conservatives and senators. We met with U.S. officials, both congressmen and USDA officials, to get confirmation that all we need to do to get privileged access back to PACA in the U.S. is to implement Bill C-280 as written.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr. Harvey, Bill C-282 is in the Senate. I wish it would not become a law, but it looks as though it will. It would prohibit the Canadian international trade minister from giving any further concessions on the dairy market or the supply-managed sector in Canada.

International Trade committee  In Canada, if we move forward with the mechanism around financial protection, then Bill C-280, which is in front of the Senate, would be one of the other tools that would enable working around and within CUSMA. Because it is built within the framework of tri-national modelling, it would give us access to a dispute resolution model within a preferential system that no others have internationally.

Business of Supply  Many of the people who were part of that government are still sitting in this place as part of the Conservatives today. We talk about the scandal with the Senate. We talk about the 170 times Harper refused to give information to Parliament about budget numbers. We talk about when Bev Oda falsified documents. The scandals that the Conservative Party has actively participated in make me wonder how its members have the audacity to stand in this place to criticize the Liberal Party.

Online Harms Act  Well-resourced and well-respected law enforcement is critical to a free and just society. Second, the government must also reform its watered-down bail policies, which allow repeat offenders to commit crimes over and over again. Criminals in the digital space will never face justice, no matter what laws are passed, if the Liberal government's catch-and-release policies are not reversed.

Online Harms Act  Speaker, the bill has received widespread condemnation from groups of all political stripes because it forces Canadians to make unnecessary trade-offs between their security and their charter rights. As well, the bill would force much-needed reforms into a long, onerous regulatory process with no clear end in sight. There are people watching this today who will fear deepfaked intimate images being used to harass and bully them in their high schools.

International Trade committee  We have a bill put forward, this time by Scot Davidson of the Conservatives, that's in the Senate right now.

International Trade committee  We have to give the House and parliamentarians credit. You kept the Senate very busy, and they made the decision to focus on House priorities only. We were moving into the banking committee to review Bill C-280, and that has been postponed now until the fall.

International Trade committee  CAFTA firmly believes that Bill C-282, which would prevent Canadian negotiators from discussing tariff quotas in supply-managed industries, is sending a warning signal to U.S. interest groups in key states. We call on the Senate to reject Bill C‑282, which has not been thoroughly studied in the House of Commons. I look forward to answering your questions. Thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The issue, though, is that we really are respectful of the independence of the House of Commons and the Senate, and we're really respectful of the role that the House of Commons administration plays in supporting parliamentarians. This is why we go through them, as we do for many service providers and other institutions that we deal with.

Public Accounts committee  That's perfect. Do you have a specific timeline for a comprehensive reform of the Indian Act? Do you have a timeline, a deadline or something you could share with the committee on the reforms you plan to make to that act?

Justice committee  I have no idea as to what became of those recommendations. How many have been adopted? How many have been taken up? The Senate report puts out recommendations. I've stopped making recommendations because there are a lot out there already. I think we would like accountability as to which one of those will be acted upon.
