Business of the House  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the hon. government House leader if she can let us know what we are going to be doing here tomorrow, and then what else we will doing next week.

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, over the weekend, Canadians witnessed, with shock and dismay, the U.S. administration hurl insults, verbal attacks, and threats of more tariffs at us. We are all Canadians first, and we will stand with Canadian workers and the families impacted by this escalating tra

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, and I know we all know this, when politicians fight and when leaders argue, it is always the people who suffer. In this case, these unfair tariffs are hurting Canadian steel and aluminum workers, and additional sectors are being threatened. The govern

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, there are some things we could do right now that would create opportunities for Canadians who are impacted by this growing trade dispute. We could immediately ratify the TPP, the carbon tax on Canadian families and businesses could be scrapped, and we could eliminat

Employment  Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, in downtown Toronto in what can only be described as a rally intended to incite hatred toward Jews and others, Sheik Shafiq Hudda of the Islamic Humanitarian Service called for the eradication of Israelis, and genocide. Some of his anti-Semitic hate sp

Employment  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's actions speak otherwise. On one hand, he is giving these anti-Semitic religious extremists taxpayers' dollars to actively promote hatred using funds from the Canada summer jobs program. On the other, he has denied funding to faith groups that wan

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to individuals who have crossed the border illegally and are currently being housed in accommodations being paid for, funded, or operated by the government: (a) what is the current number of individuals in such accommodations; (b) what is the breakdown of (a) by city

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to table a petition signed by Manitobans who are calling on the government to abandon its attestation requirement for applicants for the Canada summer jobs program. The petitioners call on the Prime Minister to stand up for Canadians' freedom of belief

Government Spending  Mr. Speaker, it is becoming increasingly clear that the Prime Minister is out of touch with the struggles of everyday Canadians. He is using his job to pay for his celebrity lifestyle. The Prime Minister thinks he is entitled to his entitlements. He spares no expense when he wa

Government Spending  Mr. Speaker, with regard to the India trip, I do not recall Prime Minister Harper bringing along on the trip his own personal chef—what was that: $17,000—and, may I add, a terrorist. Maybe the Prime Minister needs to park the arrogance and swagger for just a split second. We kn

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I rise to present petitions from individuals who are concerned about the international trafficking of human organs. The petitioners ask us to please move quickly with legislation that will end this horrific practice.

Prime Minister's Report Card  Mr. Speaker, here is the report card on the Prime Minister's summer activities: reversing the carbon tax, failed; dealing with illegal border crossers, failed; recalling the House to get TPP ratified, failed again; surfing in Tofino, B plus; mansplaining his way through a groping

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, in 2010 it was discovered that serial killer Clifford Olson was receiving OAS payments. The Conservatives saw how outrageous that was and immediately took steps to stop it. That same year, Karla Homolka almost got a pardon. Again, the Conservatives saw how outrageo

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the minister has the ability and the authority to stop payments from going to a convicted murderer who is not a veteran. We are not asking for information; we are asking for action. Why is it that the Liberals are always able to defend the so-called rights of the Chr
