Human Rights in Iran  Mr. Speaker, the Iranian regime has sentenced Toomaj Salehi to death. His crime was protesting the death of Mahsa Amini. The sentence comes after he was beaten, tortured and put in solitary confinement. We all know the Iranian regime. They support Hezbollah and Hamas and recentl

National Day of Mourning  Mr. Speaker, April 28 is the National Day of Mourning. It happened because two labour activists who were driving to a union meeting were stopped because of a funeral procession for a firefighter. It was through the hard work of our unions that this came to fruition when Brian Mul

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, Canadians are well versed in its corruption. Sadly, it is worse: bombshell testimony on Beijing's interference in Canadian elections. A senior Liberal disclosed top secret information to the then-Liberal MP for Don Va

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, there is no decency or respect, when a senior Liberal, either a cabinet minister or a senior Liberal staffer, disclosed top secret CSIS information for Liberal gain. It is despicable. It gets worse. It compromised CSIS work and put Liberal partisan gain over national

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, on that point of order, everybody knows what the term “Brownshirts” refers to. It refers to Nazi Germany. This member is effectively calling Conservative members on that committee Nazis. He needs to immediately apologize. It is a disgraceful remark.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, these are the great Liberal lies: the budget will balance itself, and the rebate cheque is larger than the cost of the carbon tax. Everyone knows that is not actually what has happened. Do you know who else has joined the carbon tax revolt? Six premiers in this count

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, Tina from Orangeville just sent me a photo from the Orangeville Food Bank. There is no juice. There is no cereal. There are almost no diapers. That is because the people who used to donate food are now lined up for food. This is actually Canada after eight years of t

Softwood Lumber  Mr. Chair, I have never seen a government try to polish failure like I have watched members of the Liberal government today in this debate try to polish their failure. It has been almost nine years of this dispute. The last time there was a dispute it was resolved by Prime Minist

Softwood Lumber  Mr. Chair, this is a very serious issue. Since 2016, 183 companies in the forestry sector have gone bankrupt, and tens of thousands of Canadians in British Columbia, Quebec and all over Canada have lost their jobs. Tonight, in this debate, we have heard the critic from the Bloc

Softwood Lumber  Mr. Chair, I want to thank the member for reading PMO speech number six. Where we are is that this is catastrophic for the softwood lumber industry in Canada. While these members talk about how the wheels are in motion and how the dog ate their homework, 183 companies in the fo

Softwood Lumber  Madam Chair, I fundamentally disagree. We had a good deal that returned almost all of the countervailing and anti-dumping duties to the softwood lumber industry. It was able to use that money to innovate. In addition, we secured market access in the United States and had lumber p

Softwood Lumber  Madam Chair, the team Canada approach is one part of that, which should take place. The Liberals are failing miserably on that because they are not getting that groundswell of support in the United States to bring that pressure upward. The real issue is that, ultimately, the Amer

Softwood Lumber  Madam Chair, the Liberals keep coming back to the possibility that they maybe might win a dispute here or a dispute there, and that would resolve the issue because it has resolved it in the past. What the member does not know is that the United States used to group these disputes

Softwood Lumber  Madam Chair, I am going to be sharing my time with the member for Prince Albert. What we have here with the softwood lumber dispute is—
