National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, it is great to take the floor in the most honourable House to speak to a very important topic, Bill C-34, the Investment Canada Act modernization.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, if that post was liked, it was done in error. What's Interesting Vaughan is a Conservative-run Instagram account. My hon. member for King—Vaughan knows that. She used the language that the carbon tax “killed” Canada. I would ask the hon. member to retract the word

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure and a privilege to rise in this most honourable House and to be with many of my esteemed and honourable colleagues to debate important legislation. Today, we are obviously debating an opposition day motion. As I was one of those MPs who we

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, making sure Canadians are safe and feel safe in their community is a priority for our federal government. It is not optional; it is not political. In my riding of Vaughan—Woodbridge, public safety is at the centre of many conversations. We know the federal governme
