Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Mr. Speaker, I think a lot of things can definitely be improved upon in this bill once it goes to committee.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Mr. Speaker, I have to admit that the hon. member for Winnipeg North sure does talk a great game about how great the Liberal government is doing.

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, I very much appreciate that question because the member brought a very specific thing forward when he referred to the Five Eyes and our stance on the world stage.

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, that was quite a story he told.

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, I have to admit that the protection of innovation, technology and researchers in Canada has been lacking quite a bit in Canada.

Polish Heritage Month  Madam Speaker, I, like many other members of Parliament in the House, have Polish heritage. There is my last name, although I cannot say it in the House, as it is not appropriate, but my mother's maiden name is Zatorski, which does sound very Polish with the “ski” at the end. My

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I think the member misunderstands that we are actually talking about the free trade agreement with Ukraine.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I am not really certain what kind of question there was in the member's long statement, but I know he is saying he wants the bill to pass before Christmas.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I think that everyone tries to fearmonger a lot and talk about the issues they are having.
