Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today at report stage of Bill C-32 to talk a bit about the bill.

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I think that type of coincidence is always a concern. We have mechanisms in place to launch investigations when warranted.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the demand for food support is on the rise across the country. People back home, children, seniors, low-income families, everyone is going hungry. In the meantime, Loblaw is raking in the profits on the backs of struggling families. CEOs and their shareholders are pr

Gender-Based Violence  Mr. Speaker, today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the first day of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence.

Pension Protection Act  Madam Speaker, I am quite pleased to be rising in debate on third reading of Bill C-228.
