Online News Act  Madam Speaker, is it appropriate that we have a member in the House currently heckling me, who has been asked to not heckle? She is in the corner right now, heckling, despite a Speaker's having ruled that she should not be heckling in the House.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, in my riding of Nanaimo—Ladysmith, we have seen rent prices continue to increase.
