Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member. I always appreciate his speeches; they are very thoughtful. I have a great deal of respect for him. Does he agree with the government's record support of transit or anything else? There are a lot of items in the budget to reduce gre

Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act  Madam Speaker, I am coming to you from the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. When I saw this was to be debated this afternoon, I thought I would like to add a few personal comments, because the issue of people's pensions has al

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, a lot of people in this debate have been very constructive, coming up with good ideas and good criticism, so I would like to ask the member this. In a 700-page document with hundreds of items that support businesses and individuals, of all the members in the Hous

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, just so the member knows, Destination Canada is now supporting domestic marketing. I am glad he has called for supporting tourism. There is $500 million for a special tourism relief fund, another $700 million for small business financing and another $100 million for

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I are both on the international committee representing the Arctic nations together. We have a great working relationship, and I always appreciate hearing from him. We work very well together. He started out by explaining that many businesses and ind

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, one of the things that has not been mentioned too much in this debate, at least not at all today, is the benefits in the budget for NGOs and charities. This does not often show up in a budget, at least not to this great of an extent. There is a community services re

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the member two questions and she can pick which one she would like to comment on. The first is that we have a huge digital economy in Yukon. There is a large investment in this budget to help businesses transform to the modern digital economy.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I always appreciate the words of the member. She is very helpful, especially related to our Porcupine Caribou herd, which I will mention later. I thank her for clarifying the omnibus bill. All budget implementation acts are omnibus bills because they have to deal w

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the member made the good point that we are supposed to be discussing the Canada Elections Act in case there is an election at any time. Does he not think it is ironic that the Conservatives are distracting us from that, as they have voted numerous times in the last f

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for acknowledging the first woman finance minister in history presenting this amazing budget. Earlier in the debate, it was said that within four days we provided huge liquidity to help small businesses and provide mortgage relief for people who

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his speech and agree with a number of things. I would like to thank him for supporting science, as well as Telesat and Starlink. I think we have licensed Starlink and we have provided millions to Telesat for exactly what he has

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I always enjoy listening to the hon. member. Often, budgets do not have a lot for NGOs and charitable organizations. As I have done a lot of work in that area, I am very pleased that there are a number of items for them in this budget, which I hope the member support

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the bill does deal with them, but unfortunately only once they are in the system. Then we try to ensure they do not go back into the system. The member is exactly right. We have lobbied and made the case for years that we have to deal with the root causes as to why

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I do not think we should let the perfect be the enemy of moving forward, of having some success. We have to take steps. This is a move in exactly that direction. It will reduce some. I would like to move as far as Portugal has. As the member very appropriately said

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, you are doing a wonderful job, as always, in the Speaker's chair. I would just like to say I am coming from the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. When I heard there was a bill coming up with some of the content he
