Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague on his speech. I must say that I found certain parts of it rather entertaining, particularly when he talked about the gains his party made over the past few months by supposedly improving various programs. In his speech, he talked about art

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for her fine speech. I heard her talk about what she and her team have done for people during the pandemic. It seems to me that if we all did our jobs properly, what she has described likely represents what the other 337 members of the

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I am about to side with the Conservatives. This is a big day. In his speech, my colleague said that the Conservatives are not team players. He accused them of refusing to work as a team. That makes me wonder. Does my colleague think teamwork means encroaching on

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I congratulate our dear colleague for her outstanding and sensitive speech. Listening to her speech, I remembered that she is the youngest MP in the House. I found her comments to be very constructive, and I think everyone will agree with me. I would like to ask

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, this is a particularly meaningful day to talk about this sensitive issue. Yesterday, October 18, marked the first anniversary of the passing of my aunt Claire, who chose to access medical assistance in dying. She was not looking to end her life, but she simply want

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, there is a very simple principle: when a person has nothing to hide, they generally do not hesitate to open their books or disclose information. When a person has nothing to hide, they let others check the evidence. That is not what is happening here. The government

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the question that is always swirling around in my mind is why, if it has nothing to hide, is the government not being open and transparent? The government keeps repeating that it does not want to trigger an election and the opposition, with this motion, is forcing t

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I join my colleague opposite in thanking and congratulating the member for sharing that touching story. It really makes us think. I want to point out that there is a difference between suicide and suicidal tendencies and what someone suffering from a serious, irr

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for her speech. We all know that this is a sensitive topic. Some believe it should be debated longer so that we have the time to discuss it more thoroughly. Others believe that we need to move more quickly because people are waiting for us to le

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, like my colleague opposite, the member for Winnipeg North, I want to add to my colleague's speech. I, too, have some touching stories that are often hard to talk about because it is such an emotional subject. I want to congratulate my colleague for her very poignant

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé that that was a very inspiring speech. It was a fantastic speech, and I commend my colleague for it. We are debating and legislating on the issue of conversion therapy today because there is pressure, mainly from

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Fredericton for her speech, which was once again very relevant, as usual. She mentioned in her speech that Bill C-6 is designed to protect children and minors from conversion therapy, but she made a very important point about adults wh

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague across the way. It seems that the House unanimously agrees on the fact that we are going to legislate with respect to conversion therapy. However, some small religious groups are putting a lot of pressure on us to slow the process

Victims of the October Crisis  Mr. Speaker, I want to let the victims of the October crisis tell their stories. People were arrested. Gilles Paquin said that they arrived at his home between 4:30 and 5 in the morning and two men with rifles were kicking in the door. Mr. Paquin was imprisoned for seven days wi

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite for his speech. When it comes to the indigenous file, I have the impression that the Liberal government tends to take symbolic rather than concrete action. It often drags its feet when it is time to take concrete action. Examples that
