Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Manitoba serves the riding that is probably the most similar to my riding in all of Canada, and so my question for her is actually quite simple. In a riding like ours, the carbon tax disproportionately affects rural and remote communities; many of

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I listened to the speech of the member for Winnipeg North maybe a little more intently today than I have in the past. He claims in his comments that this will not limit individual content created. On Twitter, a couple of days ago, Mr. Michael Geist said, in respons

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to Indigenous Services Canada and on-reserve schools: (a) what is the total number of (i) schools, (ii) teachers, (iii) students; (b) what are the training and educational requirements to become a certified teacher in these schools; and (c) what percentage of teachers

The Economy  Madam Speaker, after eight years of the Liberal Prime Minister, this is not working. These are the words of a food bank chair from northern Saskatchewan, who says, “Everything is increasing—gas, rent, food, heat...I just don't know how people are supposed to manage.” Its monthly

Brittany Macnab  Madam Speaker, it is with great sadness that I stand today and recognize the life of Brittany Macnab, a proud, young Métis woman gone way too soon at only 24. Brittany was a person who radiated kindness and generosity. While in high school, she volunteered for the hockey team t

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. In regard to the vote on Bill S-233, I am asking for the consent of the House to reflect on the record that the vote in the House was unanimous in its opposition to organ harvesting. I erred when I used the app in my vote. I am looking f

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to Indigenous Services Canada and expenditures made so that long-term drinking water advisories could be lifted, since January 1, 2016: (a) what is the total amount spent, broken down by year; (b) what has been the average and median cost associated with lifting an ad

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to Indigenous Services Canada and long-term drinking water advisories: (a) of the 136 advisories lifted between November 2015 and October 2022, how many have been re-issued, and what are the locations of the advisories that were re-issued; (b) have any advisories been

Firearms  Madam Speaker, it is clear the Prime Minister and his Liberal front bench have again been caught trying to divide Canadians for political gain. Adding hunting rifles to Bill C-21 proves that the Prime Minister and his cabinet govern for themselves. First nations leaders from ac

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives promote and believe in economic reconciliation. It is the solution to eradicating poverty and, with it, the social issues that poverty creates. Treating symptoms rather than the root cause has failed. It is time to fundamentally change that approa

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Mr. Speaker, the member for Winnipeg North very passionately talked about all of the great work the Liberals have done since 2015 and how there was a sense of urgency. With regard to this particular bill and the four calls to action that he speaks of, this matter was first intro

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, the process was a very collaborative one at committee and I appreciate that process. The hon. member spoke a couple of times about the amendment that was made to call on the Prime Minister to respond to the annual report, rather than the minister, as was in the or

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, just to follow up on the last question for the member, I note the time frame of the progress. It started in December 2017 with the Prime Minister announcing that he was going to pursue this national council for reconciliation. From January to June 2018, the interim

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, there was an amendment made that shortened the total time frame from approximately 11 months to five months for the council to present its annual report and for the Prime Minister to respond to that report. Would she like to speak about how that raises the sense o

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Mr. Speaker, it has been a pleasure to work with my colleague from the Bloc at committee. We did get a lot of good work done. My question is very simple. Bill C-29 originally came to the House without any concrete measurables, without anything to measure. We talked a lot about t
