Presence in Gallery  Mr. Speaker, during question period, the Minister of National Revenue accused me of spreading disinformation. That is not very nice. I am therefore requesting the unanimous consent of the House to table the Auditor General's report on the Canada Revenue Agency, because I get the

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, the question was about Phoenix. Governing is about making choices. Let us take a closer look at the Liberals' choices. A couple with no children gets nothing. A person who earns less than $45,000 gets nothing. Someone who takes the bus no longer gets a tax credit.

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, that is right. The Liberals are going to continue signing agreements with tax havens, as they did last year with the Cook Islands. Interestingly, when the Liberals wants something to happen, there is no stopping them. An infrastructure privatization bank? Done. Lega

Cannabis Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. However, I would like to remind him that, in their 2015 platform, the Liberals stated that arresting and prosecuting these offences is expensive for our criminal justice system, which was clogged with far too many minor, non-viol

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party's chief fundraiser sent money to a tax haven. This morning, the NDP asked that Stephen Bronfman appear before the Standing Committee on Finance. The Liberals refused. The Minister of Finance failed to put his assets in a blind trust. He also introd

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, hello, you have reached the Canada Revenue Agency. Your call is important to us. Seriously, if you expect to speak with a person, good luck. Half the time your call will be blocked, and more often than not, you will not get through to a person. If you actually happe

Cannabis Act  Madam Speaker, what contempt for indigenous peoples, civil society, and the individual communities across Canada. What contempt for the provinces. The government says it is listening, but it is as deaf as a post. It is incapable of listening. Maybe that is why I am raising my vo

National Security Act, 2017  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Windsor West for his speech. I share many of his worries and concerns. For instance, in November 2016, the Federal Court issued a rather scathing decision on the fact that for 10 years, CSIS had been storing thousands of pieces of personal

National Security Act, 2017  Mr. Speaker, given that my Liberal colleague says that people had misgivings about Bill C-51, I would like to know why the Liberal Party voted for it at the time. As for torture, if the Liberals are against it, why did they not change the directive so that information that may h

National Security Act, 2017  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech. I can sense his conviction in defending Bill C-59. I would like to ask the same question that I asked the member for Drummond. It had to do with the concerns we have about the definition of national security, which includ

National Security Act, 2017  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Drummond for his speech. Bill C-59 is supposed to correct Bill C-51, which was condemned by pretty much everyone in Canada at the time. However, Bill C-59 does not make all the necessary changes. It misses the mark and is incomplete. For ex

National Security Act, 2017  Mr. Speaker, I would like my colleague to comment briefly on the fact that Bill C-59 contains not a single measure or provision to fix the ludicrous no fly list situation that results in people whose names are similar to those of alleged terrorists being barred from flying. That

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to operations at the Lacolle border checkpoint and the Montreal and Cornwall urban checkpoints since November 1, 2015: (a) how many Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers were required to work at the Lacolle checkpoint, broken down by the (i) total number of of

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the government contracts awarded to Morneau Shepell since January 2010: (a) for each contract, what is the (i) value of the contract, (ii) description of the services offered, (iii) date and duration of the contract, (iv) internal tracking number or contract file n

National Security Act, 2017  Madam Speaker, of course Canadians want to feel safe, but they also want to feel free and not as if they are being spied on all the time. Having a good watchdog to oversee the police who are watching us is crucial, but that is lacking in the bill right now. We will see if Liberal
