Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present two petitions. The first petition relates to the Canada summer jobs program. It highlights that the government's attestation requirement last year was in breach of the charter rights of Canadians. The petitioners ask that next year, which

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, the second petition is with respect to impaired driving. The petitioners highlight that the Prime Minister, leading up to the last election, promised to make impaired driving much more serious, that there would be mandatory minimums. They are disappointed that the P

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I trust the member balances her budget every month. She is asking this House what Canadians say regarding spending more money than they are taking in. Let us say a company is spending money, increasing the wages of its employees at the employees' cost, and saying,

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, it is a real honour to able to represent my beautiful community of Langley—Aldergrove and share with the House a perspective of what I am hearing from the community on the growing debt that we are hearing about from the government. The government is defending the fa

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, my colleague's speech was thoughtful, highlighting that the government continues to fail, and its legacy of broken promises. The government members have said they are investing in Canadians. Where is this money coming from that the Liberals are investing in Canadian

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to my Liberal colleague sharing with this House and Canadians his perspective on how good the budget is. The theme is spend, spend, spend and spend some more. If any organization, business or family in Canada spent the way the government is spendi

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Madam Speaker, I listened intently to my colleague, and I appreciated his comments. However, the member is defending a budget that is indefensible. Canadians did vote for a change in 2015. However, what the government promised and what it is delivering are very different. The go

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition today from Canadians who highlight the fact that the Canada summer jobs program applications are about to be sent out by the government. They ask that this year their charter rights under section 2 of the freedom of religion be pro

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, consultation is listening, taking into consideration, and learning from one another. Just having meetings with people within our provincial directorate is not proper consultation. I was not part of those consultations. However, I strongly believe that the provinces

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I would acknowledge that there is a big difference. That is why the courts need to have discretion. However, what we are hearing from the government is that participation in the activities of a terrorist group or advocating genocide is also within that same grouping

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the member brings up a very good point. When the justice minister had the responsibility of appointing judges, six months went by before there were any appointments, and this created a backlog. Now with Bill C-75 and offences being downloaded onto the provincial gove

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, it is a real honour to be in the House to speak to this important justice bill. Bill C-75, sadly, is a deeply flawed, 302-page omnibus bill introduced by the government. Are there some positive aspects? Yes. However, the way it has been done, rammed through, not pro

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition that highlights impaired driving and the concerns of Canadians. The petitioners ask that the charge of impaired driving causing death should be vehicular homicide; that a person convicted of impaired driving would have an automati

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present two petitions. The first petition highlights that one in six Canadians is a senior and that within 13 years, it will be one in four. In some portions of Canada that has already happened and it is one in four. The petitioners ask for a nat
