An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I am happy that the member is asking about gang violence in our cities and communities, because I would remind him that on November 17, the Minister of Public Safety introduced $327 million to fight exactly that. While opposition members delayed debate in Parliament

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to take part in this debate today. Canadians must see their government take a stand, as communities across the country are suffering the consequences of gun-related crimes and violence. We are not talking about making sweeping changes or imposing unreaso

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech. It is possible to have a debate on firearms without being painted as gun registry supporters. I want to ask my colleague a question about Bill C-42, since he was here during the last parliamentary session. He mentioned th

Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017-18  Madam Speaker, we will teach my colleague on this side of the House, but I hope she can teach her colleague from Churchill—Keewatinook Aski the same thing, because I am still seeing a tweet from the House from the member for Churchill—Keewatinook Aski.

Agriculture and Agrifood  Mr. Speaker, our government knows that Canadian farmers are key economic drivers in this country and that they play a major role in combatting climate change. Could the Minister of Agriculture update the House on the important announcement we made to improve clean technology in

Interparliamentary Delegations  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 34(1), I have the honour to present to the House, in both official languages, two reports of the delegation of the Canadian Branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie. The first is respecting its participation at the meeting

Prevention of Radicalization through Foreign Funding Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to take part in this debate. As we continue to read Bill C-371, I would like to say that I support the purpose of the bill and the ideas that inspired it. Curbing or preventing the flow of money that supports terrorism is one of the government's key con

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that my colleague enjoys comparing the Liberal record with the Conservative record. I appreciate the Conservative Party's newfound vision of respecting taxpayers' dollars and asking that it be paid back. However, I recall that, a few years ago, the Conse

2018 Winter Olympic Games  Mr. Speaker, swoosh to the left, swoosh to the right, Canada is going to fight, fight, fight. I rise today to wish Canadian Olympians from my riding the best of luck at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. Good luck to Valérie Grenier, Geneviève Lacasse, Derek Roy,

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I can assure my hon. colleague that people at the Manning convention a few doors down would love to hear that speech. I will get back to the heart of the reason we are doing this. It is to bring transparency to election financing. We have heard the Conservatives say

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's great speech, but I do not accept his arguments. I will remind members why we introduced this bill. To this day, we have no idea who donated to former prime minister Stephen Harper's campaign in 2004. That is one reason for introducing th

Agriculture and Agri-food  Mr. Speaker, our government has set a goal of growing our agricultural exports to $75 billion by 2025. The agreement between Europe and Canada will contribute to that goal by boosting exports by up to $1.5 billion annually. Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of A

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is true this motion is only meant to divide Canadians and prey on their fears. It is actually shameful that the Conservatives are operating this way. I have seen this movie before. We saw it during the 2015 election. We were wondering who was the leader of the o

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I want to reassure the House, none of us is saying that ISIL is a good Samaritan. All of us are condemning Daesh. It is a terrible organization.

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I want to focus on the first part of the speech by the member for Carleton. He spoke about the infrastructure bank and how all of the risk would be put on the taxpayer. If I recall, one week before the election, he announced a fund in Ottawa, which he should remember
