Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I told the people of Laurentides—Labelle that we had an example in the promise to plant two billion trees by 2030.

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of Laurentides—Labelle to speak to Bill S‑5, the strengthening environmental protection for a healthier Canada act.

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to hear some more details, specifically about whether this bill does anything to guarantee a healthy environment.

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Madam Speaker, there is a serious problem. The interpretation is not working. Perhaps some headsets are not working properly. Can that be checked?

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, when the Prime Minister was notified by CSIS that candidates in his party might be getting support from Chinese authorities, he did nothing and said nothing. When he was notified by CSIS that members of Parliament and their families were victims of threats and intimi

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's remarks, and there is a lot to worry about. That is what I said earlier today. Although we still have several hours of debate ahead of us, I have a question. Holding an independent public inquiry is an essential condition. Will

Privilege  Madam Speaker, given what is happening here tonight, the situation is critical. I have been here since 2019. Unfortunately, every time this government has taken real action to ensure that Canadians continue to have confidence in our institutions, it was because we made every eff

Privilege  Madam Speaker, there are many worthwhile suggestions, but if the government wants to instill confidence, then it needs to be more neutral. If the government wants to show that what it is doing is not partisan, then it needs to be as neutral and impartial as possible for the sake

Privilege  Madam Speaker, from what I understood, they are trying to buy time. If there was any real desire to shed light on this and confidence in what has been done, they would act quickly so as to set the record straight for our constituents. Only those who are not sure whether they are

Privilege  Madam Speaker, that was the very essence of what we recommended. When I speak to my children, I tell them that if they want impartiality, they must agree to choose a person who will get to the bottom of things. Otherwise, if one person chooses someone, there is something fishy

Privilege  Madam Speaker, exactly 182 days have passed since November 7, the date on which Global News reporter Sam Cooper informed the public that China's united front work department had attempted to influence the 2019 election. Then, we learned from other media outlets that China had als

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister was informed, as early as 2021, that a member of the opposition was being targeted by threats from China. He did nothing. Today, he is refusing to either confirm or deny the information obtained by The Globe and Mail that China could be targeting o

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, why are we still talking about this today? It is because the Liberals have chosen their culture of secrecy over full transparency. It is their culture of secrecy that increases foreign interference: secrecy about China's connections through the Trudeau Foundation; s

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, the energy transition has been under way for quite some time.
