Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service confirmed that he warned the Minister of Emergency Preparedness in a memo that a member of Parliament was being threatened by China. However, it was reportedly lost in limbo because the minister wa

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, that takes us right back to Chinese interference. The Prime Minister does not have much luck either with memos getting lost in limbo. He, too, was never warned of the threats against the member for Wellington—Halton Hills, even though the Canadian Security Intellige

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, let us not ask the Minister of Public Safety for details about Paul Bernardo's transfer. He knows nothing about it, even if his staff did. Let us not ask the Prime Minister either, he too knows nothing, even if his staff knew, just like he knew nothing about Beijing

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, at this point, it is a pattern. The ministers are constantly telling us that they are not aware of the briefing notes that senior public servants nevertheless confirm to have sent directly to their staff. We can take their word for it once, maybe twice, that their s

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, just because people laugh does not mean it is funny. Ministers have a responsibility to get informed and then in turn inform the public. This spring alone, if we had relied on the work of the ministers instead of the media, three members of the House would still be t

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, we moved that motion so that Parliament could rise on a note of consensus and awareness. We need to do more to ensure that the natural disasters we are experiencing do not become the norm. To do that, though, we need to make some tough decisions. Everyone knows that

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the Conservative leader for his speech and for introducing this motion. The Bloc Québécois is in favour of tabling a plan to return to a balanced budget. I think that the least a government can do is to state its intentions. I agree that the government or

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the climate breakdown has begun. That is the damning assessment delivered by the UN Secretary-General. July was the hottest month on record. There have been marine heat waves with global averages of 21°C. There were so many forest fires that it seemed like everythin

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the government claims that fighting climate change is a priority, but that is not true. While the UN is talking about climate ambition, three ministers from this government could not wait to get to Alberta for the World Petroleum Congress. I imagine they are going t

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the unprecedented wildfires in Quebec, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and the Atlantic provinces are disastrous for the planet, for the people affected, for biodiversity and even for the economy. This sort of disaster is bound to keep happening. However

Allegations Against Government of India  Madam Chair, the Prime Minister was transparent with the House and Canadians yesterday when he told us this news. I am grateful to him for that. However, it has created public concern, particularly in the Sikh community in Canada. There is a very large Sikh community here, and we

Allegations Against Government of India  Madam Chair, I would like to ask the same question that one of my Bloc colleagues asked earlier. In fact, it was the member who just spoke who asked the question, but no one was able to give him an answer. I would therefore like to know what he thinks about the fact that none of

Allegations Against Government of India  Mr. Chair, I would like to start by saying that I will be sharing my time with my hon. colleague from Rivière-du-Nord. I too would like to offer my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and to the entire Canadian Sikh community, which is quite lar

Allegations Against Government of India  Mr. Chair, obviously, when it comes to an issue as important as foreign interference, we need to address it seriously. We have been calling for this much-discussed independent inquiry for quite some time. It took a long time for the government to embark on this and get involved.

Allegations Against Government of India  Mr. Chair, that is an excellent question. I do not necessarily know the answer, but I think the first step is simply to talk about it. I greatly enjoyed listening to my colleague's thoughts just now, when she asked what we are here for if not to speak out against things happeni
