Health of Animals Act  Mr. Speaker, I will try to go through those questions as quickly as I can. I will answer the member's last question first. This bill would put tangible consequences for not only the individual who breaks into a property, but also the organizations that often encourage this type

Health of Animals Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague is exactly right. I have seen too many of these issues where the activists are showing pictures of dead animals. The Tschetter family is a perfect example. They had some turkeys that had passed away, but they were not dead when the protestors got there.

Health of Animals Act  moved that Bill C-205, An Act to amend the Health of Animals Act, be read the second time and referred to a committee. Madam Speaker, I know that all of us, when we have the opportunity to stand up in this House, are very proud of representing our constituents. I have stood up i

Health  Mr. Speaker, at the health committee, Dr. Tam admitted that because of a lack of access to testing and delays in results, the COVID app is not effective. In fact, only 5% of Ontario coronavirus cases used the COVID Alert app to report their infection. Clearly, the $10-million Lib

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, please excuse me. I would have liked to practise my French, but I am going to ask my question in English. I appreciate some of the points my colleague has made about whether we are on the right track when it comes to how we have dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. T

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will keep this short. I believe that the Liberal government has downloaded a lot of the responsibility for the pandemic to the provinces and it behooves it to ensure that those provinces have the resources they need to do the job that is asked of them.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague is exactly right. One of the topics that we want to address in this study that is before the health committee is health transfers and the impact that COVID has had on long-term facilities or seniors' centres. I have one of the oldest demographics in t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would absolutely not agree with that. The only party that is politicizing COVID-19 is the Liberal Party. If the Liberals are so proud of the programs that they have rolled out over these past few months, then why are they filibustering the health committee? Why

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to speak about this very important issue. In fact, I think there is no issue more important than the review and study of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on Canadians. I will be splitting my time with my hon. colleague for Bellechasse—Les Etc
