Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the Connect to Innovate program of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada as well as all CRTC programs that fund broadband Internet: how much was spent in Ontario and Quebec since 2016, broken down by riding?

Government Policies  Madam Speaker, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues its second wave, so too continues the second wave of job losses. The Liberals say they are going to create a million jobs, but they are on the way to destroying thousands of jobs in my riding due to increased carbon taxes, the cle

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, after months of COVID restrictions, we know that our Internet connectivity is more important than ever. Despite years of Liberal promises, we still have areas that lack broadband Internet and adequate cell service. In my own riding in 2016, I was promised $12 million

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for her speech. The October crisis was extremely sad, especially for Pierre Laporte's family and for the families of the other victims. Would it be worthwhile for the Prime Minister to apologize? Although he has apologized in the past, he rarel

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, my colleague across the way gave a great speech. I want to talk a little more about palliative care, as I am obviously a passionate advocate. My mother passed away this past week, and she was fortunate enough to have excellent palliative care, as we do in Sarnia—La

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for having the courage to share his story. There is one thing that concerns me from listening to the debate today: It is clear that private conversations are not necessarily protected in the bill. The member has had conversations with

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I think all Canadians are opposed to people being forced to have therapy they do not want. However, when we studied conversion therapy at health committee last year, we had a disturbing conversation. The gist of it was this. I was describing a youth leader of a you

Women and Gender Equality  Mr. Speaker, every week in Canada, a woman is killed by her domestic partner. With the pandemic, there is an increase in human trafficking and in domestic violence. Although this government has talked a lot about eradicating violence against women, little action has been taken.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, there are certainly amendments that must happen to fix the things that are wrong in the bill. I look forward to that discussion at committee.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, these are absolutely the kinds of supports that are needed, but the reality is that they are not actually in place everywhere. This makes a huge difference. I will give an example from the first year after Bill C-14 came into law. Sarnia—Lambton has a huge capacit

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I do not have an opinion one way or the other. Quebec has its jurisdiction and its courts make decisions, but when the government has to respond to a decision, that needs to be the focus. I do not disagree with the member for Fundy Royal, who said that the governme

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I am happy to have the opportunity to rise today to speak to Bill C-7. It is a very serious matter. As the member for Fundy Royal just mentioned, it is a matter of life and death. I was part of the debate on the original bill, Bill C-14, and I am familiar with a nu

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my question for the hon. member has to do with the cool-off period, the 10-day provision that was previously there. It was to address, as I recall, when people are seriously ill and suffering. They can be depressed. One day they feel great and the next day they do

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I would like to talk a bit more about the conscience protections. The hon. member mentioned it was in the preamble, in section 9 and in the charter. Why then does the government not immediately address the situation existing in Ontario, where physicians and nurses

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my question for the member has to do with the disabled. He made a comment about the disabled and in the legislation it looks like there is a different treatment of disabled people to other people. I am concerned about that. I wonder if the member is also concerned.
