Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I know the NDP member is close to CFB Edmonton. Could he elaborate on how big of a challenge homelessness for veterans is in his own riding?

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Longueuil—Saint‑Hubert for his speech, which shows that he cares about our veterans. In his opinion, why did the CEO of Vets Canada state the following earlier this week: “A lot of them have expressed that they don't feel valued, they don't fe

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague, the shadow minister for Veterans Affairs, for bringing this issue forward to the House today. I would like to draw attention to a not-for-profit organization in Ontario called Ruck 2 Remember. It has been doing things for over 15 years,

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have a two-part question for the member opposite. The first part is about the fairness of the app. There are many Canadians in my riding, such as seniors, who do not have Internet, email or access to the app. More importantly, I have an Amish community, which does

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, massive Liberal deficits have caused 40-year high inflation, resulting in major increases to the cost of living. I have many seniors in my riding like Cathy who, at 68 years of age, has had to go back to work in order to pay for utilities, food and her mortgage paym

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2.  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my Bloc colleague for really highlighting the hypocrisy coming out of the government when it comes to the different tools that it uses to limit debate in this House. We quite often hear when the Liberals limit debate at second reading that they will

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, that is a valid question. In the west, governments make decisions based on national interest and things that are going on. Unfortunately, the world is not fair. How do we fix it and make it up? However, I do take issue with the fact that this is a motion the comm

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, yes, I am concerned. It is absolutely egregious that the government promises one thing and then does not deliver on it. I am a big believer that we should not make promises, or that it is way better to underpromise and overdeliver than vice versa, as we have seen s

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for the very interesting question. I cannot speak with any level of fidelity on what is going on in Saudi Arabia or China from the perspectives of other nations and of ex-military folks, but I denounce it. Regardless of one's background, if one

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I will start off by saying that I am going to split my time with the member for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman. I am going to focus on three aspects and issues. I know the primary aspects of the motion today are focused on the report from the Standing Committee on Citi

International Human Rights Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for bringing this legislation here to the chamber. I am proud to have seconded it. My question is around the Magnitsky act and just the importance of it. The member highlighted clearly why it is so important, but specifically he did in

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Madam Speaker, I will follow the NDP member and thank my Bloc colleague for a very exciting and passionate speech. I agree on the housing issues, especially with his comment that this is just a band-aid solution that is being put forth. It does not get to the root crux of the ne

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will build off the last question a little and maybe pick on Loblaws. Considering the record profits that this motion talks about and the price gouging the member talked about in her speech, why did the government think it was okay to give $12 million to Loblaws f

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the intervention by the member for Vancouver Kingsway. I may not agree with everything he stated, but I agree with the intent behind this motion. We have to address high food prices in Canada. My question to him is this. Why did the motion not include

Taxation  Madam Speaker, to push back, I am not going to argue with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food about who has the best wine. I have more orchards and cideries, even though I do have a couple wineries in my riding. I am a little disappointed be
