COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Chair, the government negotiated away Canada's ability to hit back with retaliatory tariffs on a broad range of strategic products from across the United States. The new NAFTA is an abject failure when it comes to protecting Canada's economy. Has the government conducted an

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, is it Canadian values to embarrass Asian-Pacific partners by not showing up at a trade agreement negotiation?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, is it Canadian values to fail to condemn anti-gay laws in Senegal and Uganda? Is it Canadian values to encourage and condone modern-day slavery to build soccer stadiums in Qatar?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the failure to condemn human rights abuses and stand up against anti-gay laws confuses the world and does not show that we are principled with values. What about the failure to behave appropriately in India? Can the government outline how that contributed to our loss

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is not those values that we have seen represented. The government committed to peacekeeping and to putting Canada back on the world stage, and yet the one peacekeeping mission that the United Nations asked us to do, we have already withdrawn from. Can the governm

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, our allies cannot count on us to be there for peacekeeping missions. What about our failing diplomatic relations with China, to the extent that we have a situation where China will not buy our canola, will not buy our ginseng and is failing to buy our soybeans and

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, what about the concessions that this country has made with respect to the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement and the national security tariffs that were imposed on Canada for steel and aluminum? Is that a contributing factor to our loss of the UN Security Council

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to be splitting my time with the member for Mégantic—L'Érable. It is a sad day for Canada. Canada has again lost its bid for the Security Council seat at the UN. The responsibility for the loss is the Prime Minister's and the Prime Minister's alone.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister should not be proud of the way this has been handled. The Prime Minister confused China and Japan repeatedly. The Prime Minister misunderstood that the Baltics were actually a group of countries. Could the government outline how this contributed to

COVID-19 Pandemic  Mr. Chair, my question was not about the working relationship, which I am sure is very good. The question is about what are the actual tactics? What are the quantitative results? What is the list and where are the shortfalls?

COVID-19 Pandemic  Mr. Chair, we now understand that there is a looming critical shortage of drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients, as well as the supplies and components that go into testing equipment. Other countries are taking active measures to ensure that they have those ingredients. Wha

COVID-19 Pandemic  Mr. Chair, I would like to understand if the seasonal workers who did not claim EI last year and who are not EI eligible are covered under CERB.

COVID-19 Pandemic  Mr. Chair, I would like to continue with my questions around the critical shortage of medical supplies. The government consistently says that we do not have a problem and are meeting all the needs, yet the emails and phone calls I receive in my office from around the country are

COVID-19 Pandemic  Madam Chair, as the new cases of coronavirus are beginning to stabilize, Canadians are looking to the next step. The government has outlined that it does, in fact, need a national plan to outline what those reopening steps might be. I am wondering if the government could identify

COVID-19 Pandemic  Madam Chair, we recognize that we need to put many things in place, but we need to know when there will be a plan and what the criteria for that plan are. The sooner we understand what those criteria are and what the plan is, the higher success rate we will have. When will ther
