Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I cannot believe that coming from a Liberal member. Actually I can believe it coming from a Liberal member. He is saying that rapid testing does not work. Is that what he is saying? That is certainly not what we are saying. We are saying it is an alternative to

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, if Liberals want to move amendments and put them forward, the other opposition parties are up to doing that. All I know is that they did support a very similar motion at the committees that we had. I commend them for their support in those areas because this is a v

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I cannot believe I am hearing this. We have a situation where Liberal members were looking at the font size and saying it was too small to be read. We read lots of documents and lots of books, and I do not have any problem with it.

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I just want to take a moment, as my colleague from Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry just did, to thank my friend and colleague, the member for Calgary Nose Hill for drafting this motion. In just a very short time, she shone a giant spotlight on how ill-prepared the

Grant Moffatt Madam Speaker, this summer Westman's residents lost one of our finest with the passing of Grant Moffatt. I knew Grant almost my entire life. We attended the University of Manitoba together as young farmers. He was a mentor to many and a friend to all. Grant loved his family and h

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, I referred to that in my presentation. We need to get it to committee and bring experts forward, including doctors, people in the medical field and legal professions as well, so we get the legislation right and so it will withstand any kind of court challenges, as I

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, the member's question is so pertinent to the debate we are having on Bill C-7. It is an opportunity to get improvements to Bill C-14 and we need the opportunity to do that. Due process is what Parliament is all about and we need to have that opportunity in the House.

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, that is exactly what I was referring to when I said I would work collaboratively to try to improve this legislation. I know there were ongoing opportunities for change in Bill C-14 when it came up and went to committee. My colleague has also forgotten that there was

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, this is the second time I have had the opportunity to speak to this legislation, Bill C-7, an act to amend the Criminal Code, medical assistance in dying, due to the Liberals proroguing Parliament. Unfortunately, my earlier concerns, such as the legislation going abo

Point of Order Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I too would like to report that my screen went blank after I voted and before the end of the votes, and it took some time to go back on. I did call in and they said I was reconnected, but I just wanted to make the House aware of that as we

Canadian Dairy Commission Act Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's speech today, and to my Liberal colleague along the way, I know everyone's trying to work hard, but he talked about a month and three days, when our American cohorts put that same amount, or way more, on a parallel basis, out in three days

Canadian Dairy Commission Act Mr. Speaker, my colleague made many good points in her speech. I saw a report published in The Globe and Mail earlier this week by a grain farmer in Alberta, whose name is Mr. Nielsen. He indicated that he got into agriculture because he loved it, not because he thought it would

Canadian Dairy Commission Act Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for that question because we are just not stacking up at all compared with our U.S. neighbours. I always look at things on a population basis. We have about 37 million people in Canada compared with 370 million in the U.S., so Canada has one-tent

Canadian Dairy Commission Act Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for Foothills for that question. It is very relevant. I did mention that this agreement the government signed, the USMCA, is weaker for the dairy industry than what we had before, the same as the $2.2 billion support level that was broug

Canadian Dairy Commission Act Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for Kelowna—Lake Country for that intervention.
