Petitions  Madam Speaker, Canadians who signed this petition are concerned about legislation related to a universal basic income. I have received countless messages from my constituents on this. Petitioners are calling on the government to ensure that paycheques can continue to feed familie

Petitions  Madam Speaker, my second petition is from people across this country who are calling on the government to pass Bill S-210. The petitioners are concerned about how easy it is for young people to gain access to sexually explicit material online, including violent and degrading sexu

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Madam Speaker, one of the interesting things here is that there are many things I think the government can and needs to do, without spending money, to encourage the building of houses. I do not have a really clear grasp on that, but I would say that when it comes to the border cr

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Madam Speaker, just to dispute the facts, Alberta Health Services has a dental program for those in financial need. I do not know what else the member is referring to. It is available for everybody who needs dental care in Alberta. While I am talking about folks in Alberta, what

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Madam Speaker, I want to inform the hon. member, who is not from Alberta, which I will forgive him for, that we have a great system for ensuring that everybody who needs dental care gets dental care. I think that is a fact across the country. Many provinces have in place a system

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 2  Madam Speaker, we are broke. That is the state of this country. We are $1.3 trillion in debt and we are having trouble keeping the lights on, so to speak. Now is not the time for expensive new government programs, particularly when we have a government that is negligent on all o

Canada Disability Benefit Act  Mr. Speaker, my aunt was actually one of the residents of Bethesda, so he may have run into her. She passed away a number of years back, but it was interesting to hear that in his speech. One of the big concerns I have and that I hear from the disability community is around acce

Farm Families  Mr. Speaker, the new Conservative leader will put the people first: their paycheques, their savings, their house and their country. He will put farm families first, which have been busy harvesting in the fields. Rain or shine, hail or snow, these folks measure their time in acr

Government Business No. 20—Proceedings on Bill C-31  Madam Speaker, I am just wondering, as the member said that he put aside his partisanship. I would argue that perhaps he is trying to look for relevance at this time. At the top of his speech he was talking about how this is an NDP initiative. This is definitely a government bill

Government Business No. 20—Proceedings on Bill C-31  Madam Speaker, once again I want to mention to the hon. member that similar to Quebec, Alberta has a dental care program for children across the province. Again, as we have been pointing out, this is true across the country. One thing I would note, as I disagree with the member'

Government Business No. 20—Proceedings on Bill C-31  Madam Speaker, I share with the member the frustration over how the government seems to think this place is a complete afterthought and how debate is not needed. As we have seen over and over again, when the government brings things forward, we have concerns about them. We have s

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I have a petition in support of Bill C-230. The petitioners, who come from across Canada, are concerned about doctors and health care professionals who might be coerced into engaging or supporting euthanasia against their conscience. They want these conscience right

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would like to correct the record a bit. The Conservative Party has been opposed to the corporate welfare that the Liberal government has been handing out for a very long time. Why does the member's party continue to support the government when the member is obvi

Cost of Living Relief Act, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the member talk about regulatory reform and things like that. One of the things that is costing the economy dramatically is the tripling of the carbon tax. I wonder if the hon. member would say that perhaps now is not the time to increase the c

Petitions  Madam Speaker, it is my honour to present a number of petitions today. In the first petition, petitioners are concerned about how easy it is for young people to access sexually explicit material online, including violent and degrading explicit material. They note that this is a
