Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the reason the opposition has put this motion forward today in Parliament is because we have been unable to study COVID at the health committee. Therefore, the purpose of this motion is to get the information required and make the health committee do the study. The

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to give my hon. colleague an opportunity to expand on the answer he gave to the previous question. He made a comment on the production of documents, saying that committees have the right to documents and the committee is not getting those documents. W

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question and comment. It is very important for a government to have the confidence of the people, the citizens. As someone of Danish heritage, I absolutely concur. I and have been able to understand and keep very close tabs because we

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would not begin to imagine what the Liberals could possibly be up to. Ultimately, we are here with the responsibility to investigate these matters. They are demonstrating a pattern of behaviour that circumvents all of the rules that we have in this place so that

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am very saddened to hear that my hon. colleague has misinterpreted what I said to such a grave extent. It is the Liberal members on committee, the cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister who would use government funds, taxpayer dollars, to their personal gain and

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the head of our non-partisan, hard-working public service chose that moment to retire. Liberal members on the House of Commons committees attempting to investigate shut down all attempts to get to the truth. The Prime Minister was found guilty of a second ethics vi

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, when I was a junior air force officer, my first posting was as the procurement officer for 19 Wing Comox on Vancouver Island. I was responsible for everything that was bought or leased on the base. In other words, anyone working on the base who needed something had t

Infrastructure  However, Mr. Speaker, this government will not invest in the Yonge subway extension. The business case to extend the Yonge subway line is obvious. The Yonge line is bursting at the seams with 800,000 commuters a day and almost 100,000 of them passing through Finch. The Yonge su

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, for 16 years, the Yonge subway extension has been a priority for York Region, but the Liberal government refuses to invest. York Region delivered a business case in 2009 and another business case in 2013. In 2017, this government invested in a preliminary design and

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, the federal government refuses to fund the Yonge subway extension without a formal business case, yet York region today is the fastest-growing region in Canada, with over 52,000 businesses, 636,000 jobs and home to over 1.2 million people. Demanding a business case i

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, the Yonge subway business case has been obvious since it was built in 1954. It is even more obvious today. The Yonge subway extension would create over 60,000 jobs and enable housing for over 88,000 residents. That is in addition to providing much-needed public tra

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, long before COVID-19, the Liberals promised to put people first by investing in public transit. Nowhere is the need greater than the Yonge subway extension. With 1.2 million residents and over 636,000 jobs, York Region is one of Canada's largest municipalities but st

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, the Ontario government has already committed to the funding for the Yonge subway extension. The Yonge subway extension would create over 60,000 jobs and enable housing for 88,000 residents. It would drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by taking over 3,000 bu

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Chair, at yesterday's China committee it was stated that the People's Republic of China is actively threatening Canadians on Canadian soil who seek to expose China's authoritarian agenda. These individuals have been subjected to everything from physical threats to commercial

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Chair, I will be splitting my time with the member for Chicoutimi—Le Fjord. The new NAFTA agreement is not worth the paper it is printed on. The Prime Minister claimed victory when it was signed. Here we are, mere weeks after the agreement has come into force, and workers in
