Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, today, I am stepping down. This is my last speech in the House. I would like to begin by thanking the voters in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun for entrusting me, three times, with the responsibility of representing them in the House. I am also leaving my academic home, the

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a petition signed by 514 of my constituents, who are calling for a reduction in the noise associated with the construction of the Champlain Bridge in my riding. This is for the Minister of Infrastructure.

Ian Shugart  Mr. Speaker, I rise today with the sad news that Canada has lost a loyal and faithful public servant. Our friend and colleague, Senator Ian Shugart, has left us after a battle with cancer. Ian was born in Ottawa and educated at Trinity College, U of T, before taking a degree in

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I am tabling, in both official languages, a document entitled “White Paper on the Status of Trans and Gender Diverse People”, written by the member for Esquimalt—Saanich—Sooke and Dylana Thompson.

National Arts Day Act  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I am tabling the government's responses to Questions Nos. 1484 to 1499.

Canada Business Corporations Act  I thank the hon. member for having corrected me. Just to complete that point, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Durham for the leadership that he showed.

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I would say that the rise in populism is something the Leader of the Opposition, for example, constantly promotes by either handing out coffee to convoy protesters or using misogynistic hashtags in his publications online. That kind of thing is exactly what people in

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I share with the hon. member the deep desire to protect all of our citizens and to work around the world so that we protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people in Canada and around the world, allow them to live in peace and dignity and allow them to flourish as human beings.

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for sharing the stories and narratives from people in her riding. It is very important that we remind ourselves exactly what the impact of obstructionism does in this place. I have a constituent who constantly texts me about the progress of B

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I share that frustration, but this bill has been in gestation for a number years with respect to the background work, the research work and the consultation work that have been done on it. There has been a robust committee study of the bill, and there is a widespread

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. The Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and the House leaders of the other parties meet at least once a week, if not every day, to discuss House procedure and practice. I can assure my colleague that we are not

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his wise leadership in the House. I agree with the member's comment. It is not just the dilatory tactics and the wasting of time. It is that the Leader of the Opposition is relishing in that in front of the media, being proud of the fact he is

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon for his passion on this bill. I know the committee worked very hard on this bill. I know there was a lot of back-and-forth on this bill. I know there were a lot of amendments on this bill, including amendments, as

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, as I just said in English, what we are seeing are tactics being used to slow down the work of the House.
