Constitution Act, 1867  Madam Speaker, I am grateful to speak to this bill today. The oath of allegiance is one everybody in the House is familiar with because they have taken it. Everybody sitting here has taken it at least once. Some of us have been lucky enough to take it more than once. The moment

Canada—Ukraine Relations  Mr. Chair, I thank the member for her continued support for Ukraine in this awful situation. Again, I was not at the committee this afternoon. However, Canada works day in and day out. The Prime Minister, the defence minister and the foreign affairs minister are in regular, dail

Canada—Ukraine Relations  Mr. Chair, it is now, it is tomorrow and it is into the future. When this war comes to an end, Ukraine is going to have to be rebuilt. Canada is there with Ukraine now and will be with it then. The free trade agreement is a step in that direction so we will be ready when the time

Canada—Ukraine Relations  Mr. Chair, Canada's support since the outset of this awful situation has been unconditional and unequivocal. I was not at the committee today to hear the ambassador's testimony, but I can say that her position, which has been unequivocal, is that Canada should support the Canada-

Canada—Ukraine Relations  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time this evening. I rise on a topic that I wish I did not have to address. Two years ago, Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and, with it, unleashed an attack on democracy, freedom and the rules-based international order.

Canada—Ukraine Relations  Mr. Speaker, I apologize.

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, on the member's first point, she is right. Fear should never dictate and reason should, particularly when we are dealing with issues of such importance. This bill is not about delay; it is about getting it right. This issue is so important. If we do not have the s

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I will start by saying how much I enjoyed working with the hon. member on the special joint committee, not just on this occasion but last year as well. He is well aware of this looming deadline. We need to focus on the issue at hand and get this bill passed. Any ad

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I really appreciate that question because it goes to the core of the reason we are moving this bill forward. If we do not get this bill through the House and if we do not get this bill through the other place, this law will take effect on March 17. That, then, tri

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands. It is a pleasure to speak today to Bill C-62.

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I think it is my assistant calling me, telling me it is time to speak. She is very efficient.
