Rick O'Brien  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is important, when we say no to this motion, which is on such an important matter, that we state our rationale. It would be—

Rick O'Brien  Mr. Speaker, I want to state the rationale for why the motion is completely out of order, and that is why I am rising on a point of order. It would be absolutely wrong to strike what was said from the record. It goes without saying that those who do not learn from history are—

Rick O'Brien  Mr. Speaker, it will only be a few seconds, but I appreciate your giving me the floor to explain our rationale. It goes without saying that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. What happened on Friday was shameful and brought embarrassment to this chamber

Rick O'Brien  Mr. Speaker, deleting the text of the Speaker's words from Hansard would have only one purpose: to try to forget what happened and wash the record clean. Removing this from the—

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, on Friday, a Nazi received a standing ovation in the House. Today is Yom Kippur. The Jewish community, my community, is horrified. Only one office in the country is responsible for vetting visitors to this place: the Prime Minister's Office. When the Ukrainian pres

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, shame on the member and the government for not taking responsibility. The Prime Minister has the massive security apparatus of the state at his disposal, yet a Nazi was honoured in this place. I cannot believe I am even uttering these words. Canada has been embarras

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, in June, the finance minister said, “Canada’s plan to bring down inflation is working.” She called it a “milestone moment”, taking credit for the reduction. Yesterday, we learned inflation has gone up to 4%, an increase of 43% since she made those comments. Now infl

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, the Liberal-NDP coalition claims it cares about climate change and renewable energy, yet it had its Ottawa gatekeeper bureaucrats cancel a viable tidal wave energy project in Nova Scotia just this year. That company lost close to $40 million. Why would any company

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, there is one thing I would like to get clarification on. The member talked at great length about the importance of renewable energy, wind and presumably tidal as well, and I agree with him, but the problem is that there was recently a tidal project in Nova Scotia tha

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, it is nice to hear the minister endorse the idea of carbon capture and have that on the record. I am wondering about liquefied natural gas. He did not mention it in his speech. Mr. Putin is largely funding his war on the back of selling natural gas in Europe. Cana

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I very much enjoy working with my colleague from the Bloc at the finance committee. I find him to be an articulate and thoughtful member of the committee. Our motion is basically to call on the government to balance budgets. I will note that, during the 2015 campa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I noted that when the member was talking about the IMF, he was cherry-picking points from the IMF's report that strengthened his case. I have a chart in front of me of housing market risk indicators. It says, “Economies with high household debt and more floating-ra

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, the member's comment leaves me wondering why the specific amendments that he just spoke of were defeated by the Liberal members at committee when they were proposed. Amendments around searchability and interoperability were defeated. They had their chance at commit

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, I think that is pretty straightforward. Every province, every jurisdiction has to be on board with this idea. If one province does not have a registry and does not follow these rules, it will become a haven for the oligarchs, for the money launderers, for the fraud

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, just to be clear, I am not speaking about Bill C-18, nor am I speaking about any purported amendments to Bill C-42. Rather, I am speaking about Bill C-42, an act to amend the Canada Business Corporations Act. The bill does a number of things. Its stated goal is pr
