Employment Insurance  Madam Speaker, with the House's permission of course, I would like to table documents from Public Accounts that actually show that the Liberal government slashed $300 million from CBSA, unlike what the parliamentary secretary said, further showing that it cut 400 full-time equiva

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague ended his speech with a comment about no one in his constituency having asked about Bill C-3. One of the problems we have with the bill is that no one in the government has asked the workers in CBSA about Bill C-3. Maybe what they should have asked i

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to encourage my colleagues across the way to learn how to read the public accounts, because if they did they would see that in the last year the Conservatives were in power, the accounts hit a high of almost $1.8 billion in spending. They then dropped ab

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, sometimes the government gets a taste of its own medicine when dealing with government red tape. From papers tabled by the current government, we have learned that completion of a simple project to build needed jetties at CFB Esquimalt has been delayed for four years

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, there was $8 million for a temporary hockey rink, $56,000 more for Jet Skis and meals for the Prime Minister's billionaire island vacation and $1.5 million for Liberal ministers' office renovations. Now the Liberals have wasted almost $2 million more on their UN Secu

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I want to read right from the government's departmental report, signed off by former public safety minister Ralph Goodale. In 2015-16, the overlap year between the Conservatives and the Liberals, the rate of convictions on prisoners out on supervision for offences

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will address the member's first comment. We can never criticize how the NDP does in power, because it has never been in power and never will be in power. I agree with the member 100%. I am sure the member across the way does not see the victim as a sex worker. I a

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I agree with my colleague's sentiment. This has to be an open and transparent review. We know full well that in an internal review the government is going to scapegoat the parole officer who was dealing with this, throw him under the bus and give a free pass to its p

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the iconic member for Cariboo—Prince George. This is my first time rising in debate in the 43rd Parliament, so I would like to take a couple of moments to thank the residents of Edmonton West for honouring me with re-election. I am v

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, I have a point of order arising out of question period. I would like to comment on the Minister of Veterans Affairs's comments about cuts in the previous government. With the permission of the House, I would like to table a report from the Library of Parliament, sh

Freedom of the Press  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government likes to pat itself on the back for openness and transparency, but when we look a bit closer at the man behind the curtain, we see clearly how Orwellian its plans are. Rather than fixing the problems with the CRTC, in typical Liberal fashion t

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, my comment was in regard to the leader of the Bloc's attack on Alberta energy workers and our energy industry. I asked him if he actually walked to Ottawa today. That was my comment and I stand by that comment.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague completely avoided answering my question. What is the government trying to hide? Why are the Liberals trying to block the Auditor General from reporting on supposedly $180 billion of spending? By the way, over half of that, according to Library and Archi

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, this is a very simple request. Throughout the last several years, we have seen the PBO, in its 2017 estimates and supplementary estimates commentary, saying there were billions missing from the infrastructure fund. We saw that with Mr. Fréchette, and we see it with t

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to ministerial travel between June 21, 2019, and September 11, 2019: (a) how much money was spent by each minister and their accompanying staff, per trip, on (i) accommodation, (ii) flights, including number of flights, (iii) car rentals, including number of cars, (iv
