Privilege  Madam Speaker, I listened to what the member across the way actually said as he addressed this issue. That is why I started off by saying that as a government we take this issue very seriously, and our actions over the years clearly demonstrate that. On the other hand, it appear

Privilege  Madam Speaker, first, to be very clear, the Prime Minister and the government, from day one, have taken the issue of foreign interference very seriously. The responsibility of governing and doing whatever we can in a co-operative way is something we have been doing now for years.

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I think it is important for us to note that we have some incredible civil servants that perform amazing work in protecting our interests. I am thinking of the Communications Security Establishment, which, from what I understand, shared the information with House of

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I do not want to disappoint the member, but I am sure that he could imagine how this might seem, to people following the debate, as though the Conservatives are acting like fish out of water, flipping and flopping all over the place. The member said that they want t

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, as members would know, many interruptions have taken place this evening, saying that members needed to be relevant. The member started off talking about the amendment, and then he went right into the bill itself. I am just suggesting that if the Conservatives want

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, absolutely not. The Conservatives cannot make filibustering motions to try to adjourn debate in the afternoon, nor concurrence motion after concurrence motion in order to avoid debate on government legislation, and then criticize the government for not being able t

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, we have acknowledged the needs of Canadians day in and day out.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, it is unfortunate. I know it might please the member opposite and maybe some of the Conservatives in the back room. They do not necessarily like hearing the truth, so they stand in here to try to disrupt debate, which is something I find really unfortunate. Quite f

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I think that it is highly inappropriate for members to continue to stand up on a point of order on just a 10-minute speech. I do not know how many points of order there have been. It is very disruptive and does not contribute to debate. What the member is referrin

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  The member should not be interrupting—

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, before the interruption, I was talking about how Liberal members are out connecting with Canadians and reporting back.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, it is truly amazing. We have the Conservative Party of Canada, which many would call the Reform Party, because it is, for all intents and purposes, more the Reform Party than it is the Conservative Party, and I will try to explain to those who might be attempting t
