Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, all of those are legitimate concerns that we will be addressing at the public safety committee if and when this bill gets there.

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, to be quite candid, I have two teenage boys who are always kidding that I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to different social media platforms. I have never had TikTok. I do not know much about it, but I understand there have been a lot of issues with it. I thi

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, I am proud to rise in the House today to speak to this important legislation on behalf of the good people of Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the Liberal government's soft-on-crime policies, our justice system is broken. Recently, OPP Constable Greg Pierzchala, a Barrie resident, was murdered by a violent repeat offender who was out on bail. Constable Pierzchala died a devastating an

Firearms  Madam Speaker, let us talk about some facts. Just yesterday in the public safety committee, the Liberal government's own firearms expert who helped write Bill C-21 admitted on record that hunting rifles would be banned if this law is enacted. Will the Liberals admit they have ma

Firearms  Madam Speaker, last week, the Liberal government tabled an amendment to Bill C-21 that would prohibit hundreds of thousands of hunting rifles. This government wants to turn law-abiding hunters and farmers who use rifles as tools to feed their families and protect their livestock

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, it is great to have a quick rebuttal to the last answer I heard, where the member talked about Conservatives supporting this bill. We always support good legislation that comes through. Recently on the public safety committee, we have been reviewing Bill C-21, which

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I sit on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, so I will be looking to see if that consultation was done. We will be making sure this comes through as a good bill, because we are in favour of this as a start. This bill has been brought up tw

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I believe in deterrence. As I mentioned earlier in my speech, we had someone from our rail institution saying one one-millionth of all cargo that comes across is checked. I think that is just atrocious.

Yes, I agree that there

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I do have to apologize, but I had a very tough time hearing the question.
