Public Safety Mr. Speaker, first the Prime Minister said he was going to make a decision on Huawei before the last election, and he did not. Then he said he was going to listen to our allies before he made a decision, then he did not. Our Five Eyes allies have all decided that Huawei cannot be

Ethics Mr. Speaker, almost 20% of the judicial appointments in Newfoundland and Labrador are vacant. Now we know it is probably because the Liberals are having trouble finding donors in that province. The last appointment was made in March 2019. There is no shortage of great lawyers in

Ethics Mr. Speaker, if we learned anything from the WE Charity scandal, it is that this government has a double standard, with one set of rules for the Liberals' friends and another for the rest of Canadians. This government's scandals are undermining Canadians' confidence. When will t

Ethics Mr. Speaker, Canadians have a trust problem with the Prime Minister. It is because he keeps looking after people who need his help the least. Canadians want to know what powerful friend he is protecting now. Whose name is beneath all the black ink on the WE documents? Who did h

Ethics Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has a pay-to-play problem. It is because the Prime Minister has expensive taste and powerful friends. First it was a vacation on billionaire island. Then it was the special legal deal for SNC-Lavalin. Then it was speaking fees and taxpayer dollars

Ethics Mr. Speaker, our justice system must be impartial, but this government selects judges based on partisan, ideological criteria. It has one way of doing things for Liberal candidates and another way for everyone else. One of the justice minister's political staffers wanted to sound

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Timmins—James Bay is right. In March we did work all together. In fact, I had calls with several ministers recommending solutions. I was in a leadership race that I asked to be suspended. I know his party, and all parties, tried to get solutions f

Lobster Fishery Dispute in Nova Scotia Mr. Speaker, I thank the member from Manicouagan for her question. Twenty-one years have passed since the Marshall decision was handed down.
