Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, given the interest that we had in this place about Yogi-isms and in honour of that, I hoped to ask my colleague, the previous speaker for Banff—Airdrie, about “It ain’t over till it’s over.” In this government's case, a piece of legislation is not over until it get

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, the member has cherry-picked a year when Canadians were basically told to stop going to work, go home and get paid $2,000 a month. What were they going to do? What did I do until we had what was not even a hybrid Parliament but a virtual sort of Parliament where we d

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, yes, we interviewed each other online. In all fairness to the member's question, I have the privilege of representing the find people of Maskwacis in central Alberta.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, if the member across the way is asking me whether or not Bill C-11 is charter-compliant, I will note that the charter compliance review would have been done by his colleague, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, who is the same person responsible f

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I will reassure my friend from Fort McMurray—Cold Lake that one of my favourite places to visit in our beautiful province is Cold Lake.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today and speak on behalf of the constituents of Red Deer—Lacombe about an issue that I am hearing quite a bit about.

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I am glad to get up and ask my colleague from Calgary Shepard a question, because “there's always something to do.” The government of the day has subsidized media outlets across this country to the tune of over $600 million because these media outlets that are highl

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the fact that we have the ability to have this debate in the House of Commons today. It has been lively, and I have enjoyed it, but I am going to remind Canadians, who might be watching at home, and my colleagues who are here, just how rapidly technology

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the debate and the questions my colleague posed. I think most Canadians back home watching this are wondering what the technical nuances are of everything we are discussing with respect to this legislation. We have even had some members of Parli

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, this is a very interesting debate and something we should be discussing thoroughly here in the House.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I received a call from a constituent this week, a woman in her mid-40s whose gas bill was over $300 for the first time ever. She lives alone in her house.
