Privilege  Madam Speaker, it is great to see that the gallery is filling up. I am sure it is for my speech today and not for question period. I am pleased to rise again on the question of privilege following the tabling of the 17th report from the Standing Committee on Government Operation

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I am rising to add to the question of privilege raised yesterday following the tabling of the 17th report of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, a report that I tabled myself. This is part of an entirely troubling pattern that we have l

Privilege  Madam Speaker, it is indeed disappointing to see both sides of the House continue to behave like that. If the government can so blatantly be cavalier with committees, it is not surprising that others would be too. No doubt, Kristian Firth of GC Strategies saw how government offi

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have been looking back in Hansard. In the last few years, 36 members of the Liberals, which is actually 37 because one member added it today, stated that the carbon tax was revenue neutral. Who says it is not?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree a tiny bit with my colleague from Vancouver Kingsway's comments. There is some value done that cannot be done internally, but there is a lot being done that should have been done internally. I will give an example. The government gave three contracts to De
