Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for illuminating, from the heart, what we have been talking about in this debate. I know he mentioned that his riding has excellent palliative care, but the reality is that across Canada, 70% of people have no access to palliative

Controlled Drugs and Substances Act  Madam Speaker, the member opposite mentioned the Portugal model in his speech, but what he did not say is that Portugal had a 170 recovery centres for 11 million people. They had universal mental health care for everyone in the country to get at the root traumas of their addictio

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for always telling us about what the people in her riding are talking about. With respect to this legislation, I wonder if she could talk about the people in long-term care, who have been very isolated in this pandemic. I want to pick up on th

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I am not a lawyer, and I think these issues are best decided in the courts. The Supreme Court, which studied the Carter decision originally, said there had to be an irremediable condition with a reasonably foreseeable death. Although there is definitely suffering

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his question. The courts in Quebec made a decision, and until it is overruled, it is clear that the practice in Quebec is going to be to allow people whose death is not reasonably foreseeable to have medical assistance in dying. That means t

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for an excellent question, because, in fact, countries have studied this. About 95% of people who have good quality palliative care choose to live as well as they can for as long as they can. The Liberal government pledged $3 billion over fiv

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, could the hon. member comment on what he is hearing, in terms of a reaction, from his constituents on this amended bill?

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to be here today because a lot of things need to be said about Bill C-7. For those who are not aware, it is an act to amend the Criminal Code with respect to medical assistance in dying. Members know I was in Parliament when Bill C-14, the predece

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it will drive jobs out of the country. Our energy sector continues to suffer under the Liberal government. Just this month, Imperial Oil, Nova, Cenovus, Husky Energy and Suncor announced 3,000 layoffs across Canada. That is more Canadians who will need government as

Fall Economic Statement  Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague mentioned pharmacare. We know the Liberals have been promising pharmacare forever and it is still not in the economic update. There were other things like that in the economic update, such as the two billion trees they were going to plant, yet they

Status of Women  Mr. Speaker, women in Canada make up half the population of our great country, and there are many challenges facing them. We see that women have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Loss of employment, precarious work and the difficulty of finding child care or carin

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I share my colleague's concern about the government's choice not to do a five-year review. That review was supposed to show whether people were following the first rules that were put in place. There are many anecdotal stories about where those rules were not followe

Aeronautics Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his speech, and I congratulate him on his bill. I would like to ask him a question. If there is a jurisdictional conflict between a province and the federal government, this bill would give the province precedence. Does that mean that the fede

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women in relation to the main estimates, 2020-21. The committee has considered the estimates referred by the House and reports the same.
