An Act to Provide Further Support in Response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I have had the pleasure of serving together on the government operations committee for six years. I hope to see both of us again on OGGO, despite what he may wish. My colleague probably knows that the last time around with the wage subsidy, we had a

An Act to Provide Further Support in Response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, congratulations on your election as Deputy Speaker. I want to thank my colleague for Carleton for drawing the direct correlation between the massive spending and our out-of-control inflation. The government likes to pretend that it is a global issue, but I would poi

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the minister knows that this is not true. The government knowingly installed security-compromised Nuctech equipment at our borders and airports. The operations committee's recommendations are clear: remove the Nuctech equipment from our airports and borders and ban t

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, for four straight years, the minister of public works could only muster up a feeble “to be determined” when setting targets for government contracts for indigenous businesses, yet in the operations committee we heard evidence that public works invoked the national se

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I wish I could take more than just a few minutes to refute all the misinformation the member put over. However, I will start with his comment about the four members abstaining. Maybe the member could tell us how many members of the Liberal cabinet abstained on vo

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am surprised that the government, which is constantly talking about sending cheques to millionaires, places a higher priority on sending cheques to millionaires and billionaires than on helping the City of Edmonton house the homeless. The ultra-exclusive Royal Ot

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will forgive the finance minister for answering the wrong question because of the delay. I was asking about the minister justifying a handout to an exclusive golf club. The President of the Treasury Board was not able to confirm that the $100 billion wage subsidy

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, good Lord, this is embarrassing: $100 billion did not go through the Treasury Board process for approval. Now we see the government paying out wealthy hedge fund managers, and the minister makes a joke about it. Other G7 countries had wage subsidy provisions to prot

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will be using my time for questions. Through you to the minister, what was the discount rate used in the assessment of the financial support for Air Canada?
