The member votes for the government every single time he has an opportunity. I will hearken back to the days of Stephen Harper and take a look at this New York Times article, which

Climate Change  Madam Speaker, the government is not breaking any promises. On the contrary, Canada is playing a strong leadership role in phasing out thermal coal, both domestically and internationally. The science is very clear about coal; it is one of the largest contributors to climate

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, what the member chooses to ignore, or not listen to, is that law enforcement also says it has been crystal clear. Fentanyl is driving the crisis, and too many Canadians are dying as a result of it. People are dying alone, and the Conservatives are only concerned

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, just to make things very clear for this member's constituents, when Bill C‑75 was before the House, we proposed that the sentence for auto theft be increased from 18 months to two years. This member and all of his colleagues voted against that. We are not just

After nine years, it is clear that the Prime Minister

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, as our colleague from public safety has made clear repeatedly over the last few minutes, this is a matter under investigation, both internally and by the RCMP.
