Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties and if you seek it, I think you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That, notwithstanding any standing order or usual practice of the House, when no member rises to speak on the motion for the 2nd read

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, the member across the way has, not once but twice, referred to names of members of Parliament. He should be sticking to titles, or ridings, or ministries and so forth.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, in the last couple of hours, members mostly from the Conservative benches have been talking about experience and that experience does matter. They raised a lot of concerns. I wonder if the member could reflect on the types of individuals who are receiving these appo

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, as I indicated when I stood up to address the issue, the system designed to protect the public failed in this incident.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I tried to move an amendment earlier and I encourage members to seriously give it consideration.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, this is not the first time the opposition has raised justice-related issues. We have seen a very positive response from the government to look at ways to improve the system. As much as possible, we have to try to avoid, unless it is well established and substantiat
