Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act Madam Speaker, I will start with part two. This bill was originally brought forward by a senator in November 2021.

Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act Madam Speaker, sometimes I need a reminder. We know VPNs are a concern.

This is exactly why we need to take this to committee, so we can talk about the technology and all these gap

Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act Madam Speaker, for me it depends, and I believe sexual education is really important, but we also have to recognize the maturity of the child and at what time we start introducing different things. When it comes to consent, children should be taught from the time they are aged ze

Carbon Tax Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, it is clear that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. According to a recent Statistics Canada report, one in three Canadians live in a household experiencing financial difficulties. Despite these difficulties, t

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I agree that we need immigration; we know that it helps our economy go round. However, if we do not have the rest of the resources, as the member from the Bloc was saying, such as housing and health care, how can we do it so that it is working best for the people w

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I really do appreciate all the commentary on this, specifically from the member when she was talking about homelessness. When we have people coming to Canada, sometimes from countries that are worn-torn or coming here to find a better life, there is the fact that t
