Petitions  Madam Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. The first is with respect to climate change. The most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change indicates that we are feeling the impacts in Canada today with the increase in floods, wildfires and extrem

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I have a petition that comes from community members in the Kingston, Frontenac, and Lennox and Addington region, in particular, Frontenac Secondary School. The petitioners are calling to the attention of the government that school food programs are recognized arou

Government Business No. 31—Proceedings on Bill C-50  Mr. Speaker, while listening to the member speak, I could not help but reflect on the fact that when he ran for a nomination, he said he would have voted against unanimous consent in this House to ban conversion therapy. I wonder if he would like to stand in the House now and co

Government Business No. 31—Proceedings on Bill C-50  Madam Speaker, the whole point to having proper decorum that is not unparliamentary is so that if somebody says something and—

Government Business No. 31—Proceedings on Bill C-50  Madam Speaker, when somebody withdraws a comment because they self-reflected on it, it has to come from an acceptance that it is not parliamentary. A member does not withdraw a comment just because it—

Government Business No. 31—Proceedings on Bill C-50  As I was trying to say, Madam Speaker, when you are asking a member to withdraw a comment and they withdraw it, it should be based on their acceptance that you have ruled it as unparliamentary, not because they think it caused a disturbance and therefore they should be doing it.

Government Response to Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I think you will find that it can pass on division.

Foreign Hostage Takers Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate the member for the introduction of Bill C-353, the foreign hostage takers accountability act. Canada's promotion of human rights and a rules-based international order are pillars of our foreign policy. The practice of arbitrary detention in

Foreign Hostage Takers Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, sometimes there are bills that come before the House that require royal recommendation and, typically, those types of bills do not get through. I had some concerns when reading through the bill as to whether or not this one was going to fall into that category. I

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, Ukraine already has a carbon tax. It has since 2011. It was part of getting into the European market. To suggest—

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, what a ludicrous defence they have. They are trying to suggest that we are imposing something on Ukraine that it already has. To make matters even worse, the Ukrainian president is asking for this. He came to this country. He signed the deal with the Prime Minister

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the member is absolutely right that climate change is going to impact farmers, probably more than anybody else. When we think about it, where we used to be able to grow certain crops in the world at one point, we will not be able to; suddenly, in other areas, we wi

Committees of the House  It leaves me speechless, Madam Speaker. Eight years ago, when I was a new member of Parliament, I travelled with the defence committee to study operations Reassurance and Unifier. Members of the Conservative Party were there. The member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke and the memb

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, Vladimir Putin has tried to tell Ukraine what it needs, and the world finds that to be incredibly offensive. When I sat in the trade committee earlier this week, the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan tried to tell the rest of Canada what he believes Ukrain

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, where is the disruption coming from? Is the disruption coming from me pointing certain things out and people feeling uncomfortable about that?
