Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to share my time with the member for Alfred-Pellan. I will start in the same manner as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and recognize the significance of the day, the topic under discussion and the

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is a fairly straightforward question, whether in French or English. Canadians want to have a better understanding why the Conservatives, now that they are in opposition, want charges and convictions. When Stephen Harper was the prime minister, to be very clear to

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am sure the member across the way can understand why many of us on this side of the House get a bit aggravated when we listen to members such as he. For example, he said the government does not care about Yazidi women, when this regime has brought in 1,000-plus c

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is amazing to hear from Conservative members who try to give a false impression. When Harper was the prime minister, of those returning from abroad who were accused of different things, from what I understand, not one was charged by the RCMP. We have not only b

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

Government Response to Petitions  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to five petitions.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I find it amazing that the member would even make the statement he just did. At the end of the day, this government went after terrorism and individuals who were wanting to come back to Canada, whereas the Harper administration did absolutely nothing. There was no

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary made reference to the fact that all members of the House are united against terrorism and terrorist acts. She also highlighted that some severe cuts had taken place under the previous administration that no doubt had an impact. As we t

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, it has been an interesting part of this debate to watch the opposition parties. Both the Conservatives and the New Democrats oppose this legislation, but for very different reasons. I can somewhat understand the Conservative side. I disagree with it, but I somewh

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, that was an interesting interjection, I must say. What I was getting at is that if we look at the legislation, it is very progressive. I would have thought the New Democrats would have favoured the change from segregated units to having services and programming, s

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Mr. Speaker, the problem is that I only have a minute or so to pose a question when I could probably use 10 or 20 minutes to counter the misinformation the member has put on the record. We have heard a couple of times from the Conservatives, for example, that body scans only appl

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

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, it is with pleasure I table yet another petition with regard to pharmacare. Hundreds of residents of Winnipeg North have brought forward many different petitions on this same subject. The petitioners call for the national government, with the support from the Prime

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, one of my colleagues asked the member's colleague a question about voting for the bill. He responded by saying something to the effect that the Liberals have a majority government and thereby, having a majority government, we will be able to get the bill going to c

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Madam Speaker, if we take a look at segregation as a whole, we have seen from other jurisdictions that we can improve the whole concept of rehabilitation in many different ways. Segregation would now be converted into something new, where there would be an allowance for rehabilit
