Canada—United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act Mr. Speaker, I always love hearing my hon. colleague speak.

Canada—United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I am so happy to hear my colleague speak. One of the things he mentioned was supply management.

Canada—United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I am concerned about the fact that under CETA, imports from the EU have increased while the trade deficit has increased for Canadian exports. This has obviously hurt a lot of businesses, so the fact that we are ultimately adopting the same agreement causes problems

In particular I salute all my female colleagues who were elected to this chamber since 2019 and in the years prior to that who have helped break down barriers for us all. Of course, it goes without say

National Defence Mr. Speaker, on International Women's Day it is important to acknowledge the fact that women who report sexual harassment and violence are often not listened to or taken seriously, making it hard for them to come forward. The Liberal government has proven through recent incidents

Criminal Code Madam Speaker, there are many social determinants that create the crime that we are seeing in our cities. During this pandemic, of course, things have become extremely exacerbated. Homelessness is on the rise. In my city of London, housing is out of reach. It is not affordable an

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, I am so grateful that our critic for small business and tourism was able to get that speech in, because he did cover a great deal.

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, I am not familiar with the member's bill or what he suggests to bring forward, but I would certainly be happy to study it, take a look at it and read far more about it to see how it could advocate for victims of human trafficking. What is key here, of course, is the

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, the member said the government provides huge amounts of money. That can be confused with the announcements and reannouncements, talks of task forces and studies upon studies.
