Government Business No. 7--Proceedings on Bill C-12  Mr. Speaker, my colleague has always been a strong advocate on these issues. We do need immediate action from the current government. As I pointed out in my speech, the Liberals know the bank account numbers. They made 800,000 other mistakes where they gave people money who did n

Government Business No. 7--Proceedings on Bill C-12  Mr. Speaker, that is an extremely important point. Certainly we studied this when I was at the health committee and talked about what would go into national standards. In fact, there have been numerous reports written about what is required. At the end of the day, I support the b

Government Business No. 7--Proceedings on Bill C-12  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today to talk about one of my favourite topics, seniors, and I have now become one.

Government Business No. 7--Proceedings on Bill C-12  Mr. Speaker, one of the things I find really troubling is that, in the length of time that it has taken to address this issue, we know many seniors have been losing their homes. They cannot afford to eat. We know that with all of the many programs that were introduced by the gove

Old Age Security Act  Madam Speaker, I am very disheartened to see that the Liberals are continually trying to avoid parliamentary process. The Conservatives brought a reasoned amendment that said we recognized this was an important issue, and we would be willing to amend it at committee. I have been

COVID-19 Protests  Mr. Speaker, the Blue Water Bridge border crossing and the 402 highway in my riding are still being impacted by the lack of action from the Prime Minister on these trucking mandates. Provinces are listening to their medical experts and they are getting rid of the mandates. When

Act Respecting Certain Measures Related to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Vancouver Kingsway for his speech. I very much enjoyed serving with him on the health committee. He is quite correct that over a year ago we were calling on the government to come up with rapid tests, and rapidly come up with rapid tests. Ho

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, people living on a fixed income in my riding cannot afford to live. With the Liberals' policies driving up the cost of home heating, their trucker mandates driving up food prices, the out-of-control escalation in the housing market, which they have not addressed, a

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise and present this petition calling on the government to take action on behalf of the Uighurs, who are being subject to arbitrary detentions, the separation of children from families, invasive surveillance, destruction of cultural sites, force

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to introduce my bill. The pension protections act would ensure th

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, the member opposite talked a lot about democracy, rights and freedoms in his speech. The Conservatives on this side of the aisle will always stand for the rights and freedoms of Canadians, and we will always call out bad and unacceptable behaviour like violence and d

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for covering so many great topics in his speech. I want to talk about affordable housing because in Sarnia we have an affordable housing crisis. Because of the lack of action on the part of the Liberals, we are now seeing an increase in h

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, I thank the member for her passion. She is calling for us to accelerate our efforts to address climate change, but I would say that the government has not even met its existing 2030 targets. It is not on track. I do not know how many of the billions

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his speech. He is always very thoughtful in his comments. There are a lot of seniors in my riding. The cost of everything is going up and the pandemic is going on and on. Some mistakes have been made, and some seniors who were
