Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague is well aware of all our work on the special joint committee. We sat together on that committee from the beginning. In our recommendation of our most recent report, we put in that recommendation “qualitative benchmarks”, not any kind of a referen

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, there was a letter that was signed by seven out of 10 provinces and all three territories asking the federal government for a delay. The case is bolstered by those health ministers and ministers responsible for mental health and addictions. We have a very tight ti

Agriculture committee   of a couple of pieces of government legislation: Bill C-56, which has received royal assent, and Bill C-59, which is still in the works. There is another bill that received a second reading vote yesterday, which is Bill C-352 from NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. There are some similarities

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the short answer is, “Yes.” I was here when the original Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act was brought into force. I think it was in 2018. The reason I support Bill C-234 is that when the Liberals originally authored their bill, they put exemptions

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, we need to have a reminder of why we are in the situation we are in. I was here in the 43rd Parliament when Bill C-7 was being debated. I remember very clearly the government's original charter statement, which included its rationale for excluding mental disorder

Agriculture committee  Thank you. That's a great segue to my question for Mr. Janzen. Concerning Bill C-234, I—along with the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois—was happy to support that bill at third reading. In my interpretation of that bill, as Mr. McCann mentioned, it's in line and in the spirit

Committees of the House   to this place, and it was great to see, in particular, Bill C-56 receive a unanimous vote in the House of Commons. It has passed the Senate, and it has now become a statute of Canada by virtue of the Governor General. There are more measures contained in Bill C-59, and our leader

Agriculture committee   of this study and the increased focus on food price inflation has been recent amendments to the Competition Act. Bill C-56 got unanimous support in the House of Commons. It's now part of the statutes of Canada. There are other provisions in Bill C-59 as well. I put that in the context

Agriculture committee   now have under Bill C-56? Do you feel at the Competition Bureau that you would like to revisit that study and maybe make use of the new legislative powers? Can you explain the differences that now exist?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, honestly, I do not know. I was here for Bill C-7. I thought the government's original position with respect to that bill was quite clear. For some reason, the Liberals did a complete 180 when it came to the Senate's amending the bill. To this day, I do not think

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, as my colleague knows, I have been on the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying from the get-go. If he will recall, in the 43rd Parliament, when this House was dealing with Bill C-7, the government's original charter statement, which provided its

First Nations Clean Water Act   advisories, and it is only now that we are seeing this legislative framework come into play in debate, in the form of Bill C-61. What would the situation be like if the Liberal government had been a little more proactive on the legislative front? If we had seen legislation like Bill C-61

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Dr. Charlebois, much has been made at this committee about carbon pricing. With respect to Mr. Currie's intervention on Bill C‑234, I think the provisions of that bill are in line with the exemptions that are already in the Greenhouse Gas

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Mr. Speaker, here we go again with Bill C-234. It does not seem to want to go to the Governor General just yet. As previous colleagues have said, this is a bill I am intimately familiar with. We did see a previous version of the bill in the 43rd Parliament, and of course, now

Petitions   on the Government of Canada to support Bill C-310 and enact amendments to the Income Tax Act in order to increase the amount of tax credits for volunteer firefighting and search and rescue volunteer services from $3,000 to $10,000.
