Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would point out that the debate is on the amendment, which the member did not comment on too much. However, I want to focus on the amendment, which deals with the fact that the RCMP had to be called in to deal with this scandalous ArriveCAN app and the fact that

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my dear colleague from Brantford—Brant, in his capacity and expertise as a former prosecutor, how he reacted to some of the concerns that were raised throughout this process, including the facts that the RCMP were called in and that the Auditor

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I would just point out that the first round of opening speeches has not even been completed yet—

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the 42nd Parliament's Bill C-58, An Act to amend the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts, giving the Information Commissioner the power to make binding orders related to access to information requests: (a

Business of the House  Mr. Speaker, I know all members have been patiently waiting for the famous Thursday question. Could the government House leader please inform the House what business the government intends to bring before the House for the remainder of this week and into next week?

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, Centre Block has a carving in the old House of Commons chamber, and part of that carving represents the 20 members who must contribute to quorum. The current Liberal government would be doing away with the constitutionally mandated quorum requirement that, at all t

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, in our dissenting report, we were open to a compromise to allow all elements of hybrid Parliament to proceed for one year. Our clear requirement was that there ought to be a sunset clause so that, one year after the start of the next Parliament, the new Parliament

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  That was in the dissenting report.

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, the government is doing a number of things that are not good for families. Tonight, tomorrow night and the night after that, we are sitting until midnight. That is not good for families, but that is what the government is doing. I want to say to the member for Van

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, unfortunately, the member for Vancouver Centre is incorrect. We had not proceeded to clause-by-clause until the Liberals brought in a guillotine motion in the House of Commons. To say that we were filibustering clause-by-clause is 100% inaccurate, so perhaps the me

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, I would like to remind the member for New Westminster—Burnaby, when he is citing the Harper record, that his party, the New Democratic Party, so far has supported time allocation 37 times in this Parliament, so it is awfully rich for the NDP members to be claiming

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  I would remind the member for Edmonton Strathcona—

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, in response to the member for Edmonton Strathcona, 37 times her party has supported time allocation to ram through the Liberal government's agenda. The New Democrats used to be an opposition party to hold the government to account, and now the member for New Westmi

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Madam Speaker, indeed, I did mean to say the member for Vancouver Centre, but it does reinforce the point that a member presiding over a committee or over the affairs of the House ought to be in person to ensure that a committee can function well. Indeed, the member just raised

Government Business No. 26—Amendments to the Standing Orders  Mr. Speaker, it is always a privilege and an honour to rise in this House, but I do so today on Government Business No. 26 with some degree of disappointment. There is disappointment because we are debating a motion that does not have the consensus of this House of Commons. It do
