Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal strategy for Fraser River chinook salmon has been an utter failure. Instead of implementing an effective recovery strategy for our iconic Pacific salmon, the Liberals chose once again to place unnecessary restrictions on fishing opportunities for British

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I am the son of two elderly Canadians. My dad is 86 and my mom is 76. I am very concerned about our seniors' access to health care and that they will be put in a position where they have to make a decision between care and maybe ending their lives as a result of this

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, here in Canada we produce the most sustainable and environmentally responsible natural gas in the world. A company called West Coast Olefins wants to make value-added products right in northern B.C. with its very own northern B.C. natural gas. Its CEO, Ken James, is

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, I respect the hon. member. We have had many conversations on the flights here and back. He is a fellow British Columbian. However, taxing the wealthiest is going to have a negative impact on our entire Canadian economy. Most of us understand that the people who mak

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, the great part of my answer is that we are very likely going to be supporting some of the measures within Bill C-4, because we do believe in support for Canadians during a crisis. The member across the way has had many words in this chamber, so I feel honoured to

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, I respect the hon. member across the way. We have worked together in the past and what I am trying to do is make the case that if Bill C-4 is going to pass and every party in this building wants to help Canadians, but I want to provide the other argument that if th

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, we are here tonight talking about Bill C-4. I have the document in front of me; it is fairly thick. The government wants to ram it through after only four hours of debate. This is unfortunate because there is a lot there. I guess we are supposed to speak to it, so

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a petition that recognizes an article by the Associated Press that revealed an ongoing campaign of Uighur birth suppression by the Chinese Communist Party. The petitioners state that they would like to recognize that Uighurs in China have been

Government Business No. 9  Madam Chair, I want to ask my colleague about the current situation in Parliament and the fact that some media and reporters have done a great job of shedding light on this.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, that was a question about WE, not about what the government was supposedly doing.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, the recently released Senate report on the federal government's COVID-19 response recommends that the government work with the territories to ensure that northern airlines have sufficient financial support and access to gateway routes.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, I will be sharing my time with the member for Beauce. The list of questions about the Liberal government and its relationship with the WE organization grows, and here is another one.

Fisheries and Oceans  Madam Speaker, two weeks ago I was honoured to speak to a group of recreational fishermen and women at the Public Fishery Alliance rally in Vancouver. I give special thanks to organizers Peter Krahn, Dave Brown, Fred Helmer, Chris Bos and many others. According to Phil Morlock o

Further COVID-19 Measures Act  Madam Speaker, the member for Winnipeg North talked about how great an economy the Liberals were a part of before COVID hit.

Tourism Industry  Mr. Speaker, with an annual economic effect of over $5.5 billion and over 37,000 jobs supported nationally, the guide outfitters sector is vital to Canada's rural and remote communities. In Canada, it typically welcomes over 300,000 fishing and hunting clients from outside of Can
