Government Business No. 35—Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, I listened to the member for Barrie—Innisfil talking about the Prime Minister's committing to doing things differently in Parliament. Perhaps the Prime Minister was giving too much credit to the Conservatives when he was making those comments, but they rely on the as

Government Response to Petitions  Mr. Speaker, we request a recorded division.

Coldest Night of the Year  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Coldest Night of the Year events that happened in 190 communities across Canada on Saturday. Each year, thousands of Canadians walk in February to support local charities that serve people experiencing hurt, hunger and homelessness. My

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I noticed that the member brought up grocery prices. I am curious as to how surprised he was when he found out that a paid lobbyist regularly attends his caucus meetings in order to provide strategy to the Leader of the Opposition, somebody who is directly profiting

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the member for Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan just suggested that somebody like my father-in-law, who was laying in a hospital bed with a brain tumour bulging out of his head, knowing full well that it was only a matter of days before he died, and who wanted to die

Criminal Code  Can the Conservative member for Barrie—Innisfil please not heckle me just this one time, possibly? I am wondering if the member would agree that perhaps it is extremely inconsiderate to think that somebody who realizes what the future holds for them, and who wants to die with so

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, if I understand this correctly, from what I just heard, the most important thing for this member is political opportunity and gain, not to advance the best interests of Canadians. I have news for that member. He was not elected to come here and spend—

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, he was not elected to come here and then develop plans for four years to run on four years later. He was elected by his constituents to come here and try to put forward policies to make their lives better. The idea, when members are in opposition, is not to just sta

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I will be the first to admit that with a program like this, which was born out of Quebec and was inspired by Quebec's model, Quebec has shown the results. To my Conservative colleagues, if they are questioning whether or not more women get into the workforce as a res

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. There is a well-established precedent that if a member does not have a tie, but then gets a tie and puts it on the Speakers have always allowed them to continue their speech.

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, in the parliamentary secretary's speech he was talking about the specific location of the national council for reconciliation. He suggested Winnipeg. I wonder if he can expand on why he thinks that Winnipeg would be the best choice for that.

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I am wondering if the parliamentary secretary could provide his comments on whether he thinks that people who make comments like that should even be participating in a debate like this.

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary can be an animated speaker, quite like myself, but he took the time to be very selective in his words to properly represent his constituents and his view.

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, I am already being heckled. What I found—

Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, what I found most shocking was that, when the parliamentary secretary was trying to deliver his remarks, the member for Cumberland—Colchester immediately started heckling and yelling at him. It reminded me of when the member for Cumberland—Colchester, on October
