Temporary Foreign Workers  Mr. Speaker, the impact assessment required by the government takes forever. It is a lengthy, burdensome and unnecessarily rigid process, and above all, it is very expensive. Spring is around the corner. Then comes summer and our agricultural producers will need workers in the fi

Black History Month  Mr. Speaker, as we celebrate Black History Month, I rise today with a message from Marjorie Villefranche, the executive director of Maison d'Haïti: We, the women of African descent, want to be heard because we believe that racism and discrimination should no longer exist in 20

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent reminded us that Bill C-3 pertains to the handling of complaints within the Canada Border Services Agency, or CBSA. However, he then went on to speak for 10 minutes about irregular migrants who cross the border at Roxham Road.

Employment Insurance  Madam Speaker, I would ask you to consult Standing Order 10 and note 51 on page 319 of House of Commons Procedure and Practice, which allows the Chair to call not only a member but also the entire House to order. When I asked my question, you allowed me to finish, but no former

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, as I was saying, the Liberal member for Beaches—East York said that if the government were truly committed to net zero and to science, cabinet should have no trouble saying no to Teck Frontier. I agree with the member for Beaches—East York. Does the government agr

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, speaking of Trans Mountain, the CEO himself just announced that the cost of building the pipeline has almost doubled, rising to nearly $13 billion. Factoring in the purchase price, we have now had about $18 billion stolen from us to pollute the planet. Is this how

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, the Teck Frontier project is not compatible with fighting climate change. As the parliamentary secretary for science said, the government has made a clear commitment to achieving net zero by 2050, and both his fellow Canadians and his grandchildren expect the gove

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, I would like to start over, please. Half the room could not hear my whole question. I would request that you let me ask it again.

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, I did not ask a question.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I am going to pick up on what my colleague was saying about the transportation of goods on both sides of the border. We are hearing from our farmers about a problem. Quite often, tanker loads of cows’ milk are being passed off as tanker loads of goats’ milk. This

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Shefford for her question. Simply having an external agency makes things seem legitimate. For example, if the police is investigating the police, that gives people the impression that cases will not be treated fairly. If an external org

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his question. It raises important issues that will need to be addressed when the time comes to decide who will sit on this commission. Unfortunately, I cannot give him an answer. I would not be surprised if people responsible for immigration

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite for his remarks regarding the work we have already done on this file. I am not the only one who has been looking closely at this matter. We have worked together, as a team. I do not have any suggestions to make at this time, especial

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, in theory, my speech should last about 20 minutes, but it might be a little shorter. I want to give some notice to the speaker coming after me. If he or she is listening and is not already in the House, he or she can come a little earlier. Today we are debating th

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will simply reiterate what I have already said. We could have simply asked the committee to look into the situation and determine what led to Marylène Levesque's murder. We could then have trusted the committee to come up with possible solutions. After examining
