Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I was listening to the hon. member's speech when he was talking about auto thefts, which was interesting as the hon. member voted against increased penalties for auto theft back in the 42nd Parliament.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, it is an important thing. I hear from many of my colleagues as well, and it is an important issue for the government. However, I take issue with the fact that the hon. member says that we do not stand up for workers. This has been a very pro-worker, pro-labour gover

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I am not opposed to what the member is suggesting, but I think it highlights a point; the oil and gas sector is creating record profits, and it is not passing that down to Canadians. That goes into the myth of what the Conservative Party says, which is that despite

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I am happy to be here today to talk about the budget, called “Fairness for Every Generation”. A fair chance to build a good middle-class life and to do as well as one's parents, or better, has always been the promise of Canada. Unfortunately, today for too many young

Protection Against Extortion Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to speak to this bill. I also appreciate the member who brought this forward.

Stopping Internet Sexual Exploitation Act  Madam Speaker, the topic that the member is dealing with is particularly important. One of the arguments that he is making is with respect to taking down this heinous material online. I agree with him. However, the bill does not make any provisions for it. Bill C-63, which is g
