Budget Implementation Act, 2005   of the legislative assembly for New Westminster, Mr. Chuck Puchmayr and the new member of the legislative assembly for Burnaby-Edmonds, Mr. Raj Chouhan, for their clear victories in that election yesterday. I mention my communities because the context of this budget discussion is extremely

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you all for coming today. Especially being a new MP, I really appreciated the briefing on understanding the guidelines of each of your responsibilities. Madam Legault, after reviewing your report on modernizing access to information, I was struck by one thing that I

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, for giving us some very incisive remarks today. I'm an MP from a riding that is a global leader in innovation and research. With the people in our riding, it is very essential that we're able to engage meaningfully with stakeholders

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much for being here. Minister Bibeau, this question is for you. All members on this committee, I think, were greatly saddened by the earthquake in Equador. It was very good to see the government respond in their time of need. Being a new MP, I'm a little bit

Foreign Affairs committee  I have one follow-up question, since you're in Mozambique. The question I have is about the political system in Mozambique, where 40% of the MPs are women. Because 40% of the MPs are women, it seems the power is still not shared equally in terms of income and employment, access

Information & Ethics committee  But I don't think they have the highest screening. Correct me if I'm wrong, as a new MP, but I don't think the MPs have top security clearance. If you're going to have somebody review those documents, they obviously have to have a higher security clearance.

Youth in Office Day   guests today, and urge that next year, every single MP take advantage of this great initiative.

Finance committee  The formal question is, where's the independence there? The study should be on the impact of the government's Canada child benefit on families across the board. If an MP, for example like myself, says that he or she wants you to study a specific thing, I think that blurs

National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians Act  . We owe it to our constituents to make sure that government works in the best interests of all Canadians. Ensuring that our intelligence and security agencies do just that is a crucial part of that work. As MPs elected to represent the views, beliefs, and aspirations of our

Finance committee  I couldn't agree with you more. I think the Minister of Immigration now understands this. A lot of it has been because of the feedback that MPs have been getting on the ground. Immigration is a big issue in my riding, and the labour market impact assessment is something that all

Finance committee   it if you could hold to as tight to five minutes as you could for presentations so we get time for questions. We will introduce the MPs who are here as well. We'll start with you, Raj. Please introduce yourself and say where you're from so panellists know.

Finance committee  Thank you very much, Kyle. We will turn to questions. Before we do that, however, we usually have MPs introduce themselves so you know what riding they're from and where they represent. I didn't do that at the beginning of this panel. Raj, you can start.

Government Operations committee  Thank you. My next question is from a planning perspective. How much will the government and MPs benefit from the changes that we're about to implement?

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you very much for being with us again this morning, Mr. Therrien. Thank you for your presentation. I think the MPs have a number of questions for you. We will begin with Mr. Raj Saini, for seven minutes.

Budget Implementation Act, 2016, No. 2   to its return. We made international headlines when in our eagerness to complete the census, we crashed the website. Now that is something we can be proud of. As an MP from the Kitchener—Waterloo region, I was thrilled to see that the Perimeter Institute received $50 million
