It is an honour to stand today on behalf of the residents of Port Moody—Coquitlam to talk about the arts. Port Moody is, by design, the city of the arts due to its vibrant arts and culture scene

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank the member for pointing out the reality of the impacts of leaving one's homeland. Does the Bloc agree with the NDP that the answer to respecting immigrants is to stop pointing fingers at them and instead address corporate greed and profiteering in Canada'

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I think the point my colleague for Nunavut made is a very important one. It emphasizes the fact that this Liberal government cannot do two things at once. It has not been able to provide the housing required and handle immigration in this country. I think it is a d

Housing Madam Speaker, I find it really frustrating that the government brings prepared notes, because they can only answer one thing and do one thing at a time. I want to talk about the fact that in my riding there was the first-ever purpose-built rental building built about five year

Persons with Disabilities Mr. Speaker, Canadians with disabilities are being treated unfairly by big airlines, and the Liberal solution is another gentlemen's meeting with a CEO who cares only about his own bottom line. This is a slap in the face to passengers who have had their human rights violated, h

Persons with Disabilities Mr. Speaker, everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, yet Canadians living with a disability have been deplaned on a catering cart or forced to get on their hands and knees to crawl off a plane.

Lowering Prices for Canadians Act Madam Speaker, I am so happy to be standing up for Canadians today on Bill C-352.

Petitions Mr. Speaker, Sasamat volunteer firefighters protect Anmore and Belcarra. Coquitlam's search and rescue volunteers also put their lives on the line for their fellow Canadians. They give their time, training and efforts. This also allows municipalities to keep property taxes lower.

Canada Revenue Agency Madam Speaker, people who took CERB in good faith are now being punished by the government.

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, could the member bring some reality to this chamber? I know we have had conversations back and forth between the Conservatives and the Liberals. The Conservatives keep going with their slogans, but they seem to be out of touch with reality. Could the Liberals talk
