An Act to Change the Name of the Electoral District of Châteauguay—Lacolle  Mr. Speaker, I want to add my voice to this debate on changing the riding name. Given that we are talking about riding names, I often talk about my riding and the beautiful riding that it is. Peace River—Westlock is the name of the riding. Although the name includes two of the t

An Act to Change the Name of the Electoral District of Châteauguay—Lacolle  Mr. Speaker, the other thing I would like to talk about in my riding in particular is this. Where I come from, we do basically three things, forestry, farming and fracking, the three Fs, as I like to call them. They are exciting things that happen in northern Alberta. It is a ver

An Act to Change the Name of the Electoral District of Châteauguay—Lacolle  Mr. Speaker, why now? With the redistribution that is happening, is this an important time for this to be coming up?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, at page 662 of Bosc and Gagnon, it states: The intent of the question-and-answer period after closure motion has been moved is to promote ministerial accountability, and it provides an opportunity for the government to justify its use of this measure. This is

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I would like to apologize for disrupting the House and calling the member names.

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I want to present a petition today. Petitioners from across the country, and in this case particularly from Scarborough, are calling on the government to enact legislation that would prevent Canadians from going abroad and participating in the illegal organ harvestin

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I would just note that for a very long time already, in order to get a firearms licence in this country, people have to have it signed off by their conjugal partner. That is a fair analysis. I also believe they can revoke that consent at any time. The law was good

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, the thrust of my speech was around providing the political support to restore law and order in our communities. The Liberals fundamentally do not support our law enforcement and fundamentally do not support our justice system to ensure that criminals can be brought

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I could not agree with my colleague more. This bill is a sinister bill that goes after law-abiding Canadians, rather than doing the hard work of going after criminals and gangsters, who are operating in broad daylight in our country. We need to ensure that our just

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I want to add my voice as well to the debate around Bill C-21, which is a very sinister bill that comes out of the evil intentions of the Liberal government. Why do I say that? It is because the bill before us will do nothing to end the crime sprees that we are s

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I want to note that it seems that Bill C-21 was brought in on the back of American politics. I am wondering what the member has to say about importing American politics into Canada.

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Kelowna—Lake Country for her advocacy around addictions. I know that is likely where a lot of the issues that we face in this country come from, so we have to work to ensure that we have a society that can treat addiction and does not j

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I am in favour of moving this bill along quickly, although I am not in favour of shortcutting the process. I have experienced that in this place. I have seen bills moved forward very quickly, only to have groups come forward later on, saying they never had the oppor

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I would note that we are still waiting on a Canadian Bar Association response to this particular legislation. I know that I am looking forward to their response in particular. In that regard, I would say I think we have to bring this bill to committee. However, I wa

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I join with my colleagues in discussing Bill C-9 today. I am appreciative of the bill and the fact that it would grant the premise that we have been advocating for a very long time, and that Liberals have been arguing against for a very long time, that judges need to
