Indigenous Affairs Mr. Speaker, I have had enough with the platitudes. We need action now. The Prime Minister acknowledged this as an ongoing genocide. The House unanimously recognized the violence against indigenous women, girls and diverse-gendered folks as a Canada-wide emergency. It has been al

Online News Act Madam Speaker, I look on social media. I just heard the term “tinfoil hats”. That is certainly a growing theme in the House of Commons these days. Facts seem to be a thing of the past. As a long-time academic, I cherish facts. Getting back to the debate, the Conservatives brough

Online News Act Madam Speaker, I think Canadians expect more from us than to act like goons in the House of Commons. Would the member explain why her party consistently neglects to protect small start-up independent online publishers and news media outlets in Canada?

Online News Act Madam Speaker, we know that the majority of the Conservatives' Bill C-18 amendments side with web giants to give them loopholes and stronger negotiating powers, instead of supporting Canada's news media. That is not a surprise, because we know the Conservatives are all about big

Online News Act Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague spoke about the importance of this bill, but here is the thing: 450 news outlets in Canada have closed since 2008 and at least one-third of Canadian journalism jobs have disappeared. The Liberal government took power in 2015. Can the member explai

Families, Children and Social Development Mr. Speaker, a new study from the Breakfast Club of Canada shows that 84% of Canadians want a national school meal program implemented immediately.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, I found it very shocking that the member, when referring to women who stay home with their children, said they are not working.
