Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, on Friday the government put out an urgent news release on the fisheries crisis at 10:18 p.m. Nova Scotia time. It appointed a former Liberal politician to cover up its inaction on the fishery issue. The only thing the two sides agree on is that the fisheries ministe

Health  Mr. Speaker, I am inclined to believe the Deputy Prime Minister, but when they continually cover up, when they prorogue Parliament, when her colleague, Mr. Morneau, resigned, when they delay committees and when they threaten elections, pardon me if I do not believe her sincerity.

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of whitewashing with this government. Reporters are asking the Liberal government questions on the ventilator contract awarded to Frank Baylis, but they are getting no answers. Now the reporters are trying to get an explanation from Mr. Baylis, but he

Health  Mr. Speaker, after weeks of Conservatives demanding the government develop a strategy for rapid COVID-19 testing, some tests finally arrived yesterday. The problem is that 100,000 tests is more of a sample than a supply. They will be used up in three days. Other countries have ha

Health  Mr. Speaker, Canada's global public health intelligence network was a global leader in pandemic warning before the government turned it off last year. Even after that decision, multiple departments of the government were warning that COVID-19 had to taken more seriously, but the

Health  Mr. Speaker, the trouble is that two months after those dates, the health minister of the country was still saying there was nothing to worry about. Countless contracts for PPE and other supplies have been held behind by national security designations. After the Frank Baylis affa

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I agree with that member, and particularly with some of his interventions for indigenous Canadians during the pandemic. There was a team Canada approach. At least we tried to have that and “all in this together”. We are finding those slogans only apply when we agre

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would invite the member to actually read the motion, because there are exceptions, just as he pointed out. Since the member is an Ontario MP, at least for the next few months, Ontario just posted the largest single one-day increase in new COVID cases: 841. It is

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. If I have the honour of becoming prime minister of Canada, the best country in the world, unlike the current Prime Minister, I would take a collaborative rather than a confrontational approach. It is about respecting the jurisd

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, now that rapid tests have been ordered, my colleague from Calgary Nose Hill, the shadow minister for health, has in fact been the de facto minister of health because that should have been done months ago and was not until the opposition started pressuring. I would li

Health  “Keeping Canadians safe”, Mr. Speaker. The Prime Minister has had multiple joint press conferences with Dr. Tam. In September, he said this: “Every step of the way, we were informed by our experts as to how to keep Canadians safe”. Today, the Prime Minister's silence is an ad

Health  Mr. Speaker, for months the Prime Minister asked Canadians to follow public health advice. For months he asked Canadians to consult Dr. Tam and health authorities for their well-being, for the health of all Canadians. Just two weeks ago, the Prime Minister cancelled Thanksgiving

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, FTI Professional Grade Inc. was created seven days before winning a $200-million contract. That company is a partner of Frank Baylis. Frank Baylis manufactures Baylis ventilators. Frank Baylis was an MP just six months before the contract was awarded. What is the tr

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, that is interesting. FTI was created only seven days before being awarded a contract worth more than $200 million. In May, the Prime Minister said that we would receive 30,000 ventilators by the end of the year. The most recent public figures indicate that we have o

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, a 10% result means the Prime Minister is failing Canadians once again. Yesterday the Prime Minister was willing to call an election to cover up the truth as to who was getting contracts from the government. This morning we learned that former Liberal MP Frank Bayli
