Canada Elections Act  Madam Speaker, it is extremely disappointing that a government could mismanage the parliamentary calendar so poorly. Of course, everybody has their role in this and I certainly do not put it past the hon. opposition to acknowledge the role it is also playing. The New Democrats b

COVID-19 in Alberta  Mr. Speaker, I am sure my hon. colleague will not be surprised that we do not necessarily agree on all the facets and debate on jurisdiction. However, I know we all believe that no matter what, when lives are at stake, working together and doing whatever we can is key. I wonder

Multiple Sclerosis  Mr. Speaker, multiple sclerosis is a disease that impacts all Canadians: not only the individuals living with the disease, but also their families, friends, co-workers and health care teams. Women are impacted by MS three times more often than men, and nearly 60% of people livi

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, women in Canada's armed forces are asking for real action to address the toxic culture that has existed within the armed forces for years. Instead, Liberals and Conservatives are busy playing the blame game. Here is a news flash: They are both to blame. It is the Pri

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives say that this is an actionable item, that this is something that will help the government take that action to get results for women in the armed forces. Of course, we disagree with their motives and how they are doing it, but certainly we agree that

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I think the crux of that question is that yes, those in positions of power must take responsibility. I come back to a point in speech, which is that we elect people to those positions of power to be held accountable and responsible. The one woman at the crux of thi

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, again, I think that the member has to look no further than his own government, which has been fighting with the Conservatives about whose fault it is, or who started it. Take responsibility and stand up: That is the leadership the people in the Canadian Armed Force

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague talked a lot about responsibility and how it is a key part of this discourse. One thing, though, has upset me. It has been so disappointing. I wonder if my colleague agrees with me about that. Being in this place, we watch every day the games that

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for North Island—Powell River. I have spent the last few months as a member of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women hearing powerful testimony from many survivors about their experiences within the Canadian Arme

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary mentioned repeatedly, and we heard it repeatedly from the Minister of National Defence, that the minister did not want to be involved because he did not want to politically influence this case and the process. Would the member not agre

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, last week, the Liberals offered up their solution to the toxic sexual culture against women in the armed forces,: another report. Maybe they forgot that we already have a report. Actually, we have several, but the Deschamps report has been collecting dust for six yea

Port of Montreal Operations Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, we ask for a recorded vote.

Proceedings on a Bill Entitled An Act to Provide for the Resumption and Continuation of Operations at the Port of Montreal  Mr. Speaker, the NDP requests a recorded division.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, the government claims to be a feminist one, but actions speak louder than words. A feminist government would not sit on the Deschamps report since 2015, or the Auditor General's Report of 2018, which both highlighted the urgent need to address the toxic culture with
