Business of Supply  He will get his chance. That member always does get a chance to speak, even though he wants to heckle when we are talking about something this important. The Liberals want to be patted on the back when all we have seen is incompetence and failure. That failure, quite frankly, ha

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, our dairy farmers produce the highest-quality milk in the world, but recent trade deals have given away more of Canada's dairy market to foreign farmers. The Liberals promised a multi-year compensation package to our farmers for granting this access, but they refuse

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, many federally regulated employers are barely hanging on due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are 100% focused on survival, but instead of helping them the Liberals are insisting that now is the time to hold costly consultations on the right of employees to “disengage

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, when the Canadian Food Inspection Agency falsely accused Fraser Valley Specialty Poultry of illegally shipping product across provincial boundaries, they told the owner to just admit he was guilty and pay the fine, but Ken Falk refused. He fought back and was found n

Cancer  Mr. Speaker, Jacob Bredenhof is a childhood cancer survivor. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. He endured a painful leg amputation and 17 difficult rounds of chemo, but neither cancer nor COVID could keep Jacob down. Last month, he and his family organized a “P

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we heard all day Tuesday, with the threat of an election and a confidence motion over creating a committee to examine Liberal corruption, that we were not talking about the right thing; we were not talking about COVID-19. Here we are, 48 hours later, talking about

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I think it is a good one, because the government no longer seems to care about committee work. No work is acceptable to the government anymore. Government members will not accept any work plan. They are filibustering every com

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, that is what made this thing so unbelievable. For the government to say that the public service was unable to deliver a program for students, when there is already a program that exists to deliver job experience for students, is outrageous. We all participate in that

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is a fact that parliamentarians agreed to have certain documents released to the committee prior to the Prime Minister's coming in with the hammer and proroguing Parliament for no reason, in the middle of a pandemic, when the CERB was about to expire and when othe

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to address the House. It is also a pleasure to be back in Ottawa to participate in the debate, after being away for a few months in my riding, doing work on behalf of my constituents who had been impacted by COVID-19. I will be splitting my t

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are trying to present this in a way that if we do not ask a question about COVID-19, we are failing Canadians; if every motion we move at a committee is not about COVID-19, we are failing Canadians; if every question on the Order Paper or every single ac

Business of Supply  It is a scandal. The member Winnipeg North heckles. He does not get enough chance to talk in the House, I guess. However, it is a scandal. The program that was created by the government no longer exists because the Prime Minister has admitted his mistake. He has talked about how

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it was an interesting avoidance of the issue altogether from that member. He talked about health care workers and small business owners, as if they should be used as political cover for Liberal corruption. When we use the word, we know exactly what it means. It i

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to introduce a petition on behalf of my constituent, Jocelyn James, whose son, Steven, lives with cystic fibrosis. His access to life-changing new medicines has been put at risk by the government's proposed price restrictions, which have stopped ne

Business of the House  Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the official opposition to offer my thoughts and prayers to the Prime Minister, his wife, all parliamentarians and indeed all Canadians who are experiencing or know someone affected by COVID-19. I would also like to thank all public heal
