Taxation  Mr. Speaker, even before the finance minister introduced his disastrous small business tax increases, the Liberals were already clawing back disability tax credits from people with type 1 diabetes. The 80% of people who were receiving the credit became the 80% denied. Why are th

Taxation  Madam Speaker, yesterday, I asked the Liberals why they had increased taxes on people with type 1 diabetes, and the response was the same as it is today, that nothing has changed. However, something has changed because 80% of the people who were previously approved by a doctor to

Indigenous Affairs  Madam Speaker, I have a letter proving the Liberals made changes to the disability tax credit and I would like to seek unanimous consent to table it in the House.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, one of the things I am very concerned about are the lack of resources that have been devoted to get the police ready across the country for the doubling of impaired drug driving charges we are likely to see with the legalization of marijuana. The government seems

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, is my hon. colleague aware that there are only 246 days left before the government intends to legalize marijuana? I fully agree with what he is saying about us needing a public education program that is similar to what MADD did to try to reduce drunk driving. How

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles. Certainly, I am pleased to rise in the House to speak to Bill C-46, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (offences relating to conveyances) and to make consequential amendments to other A

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, the member is quite right that 43% have said that in their lifetime they have tried cannabis, but another great statistic is that currently 88% of Canadians do not use marijuana. They are the Canadians who are going to suffer the unintended consequences from the ru

National Sickle Cell Awareness Day  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the member opposite for bringing awareness to this important issue.

National Sickle Cell Awareness Day  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House today to speak in favour of Bill S-211, an act respecting national sickle cell awareness day.

I am concerned about the admi

Diabetes  Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the beginning of Diabetes Awareness Month, which begins this Wednesday, November 1. Today diabetes is at epidemic levels in Canada, with one in three Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes, including an estimated 1.5 million with undiagno

Persons with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, living with type 1 diabetes is hard enough without the Liberals stripping the disability tax credit and the disability retirement savings plan from struggling diabetics. We have proof the Liberals changed the process in May. What is even worse is we have discovered

Transportation Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, my question has to do with the price of an airline ticket. I am a little concerned when I see some of the provisions in the bill that would allow the airport authorities to basically buy screening services. I worry.
