International Holocaust Remembrance Day  Mr. Speaker, today marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Today, let us remember the millions of lives lost, and may their memories be a blessing.

International Development  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals just committed $90 million in new funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. Classroom materials distributed to Palestinian students encourage them to “defend the motherland with blood”, portray child-murdering terrorists as heroes and call I

International Development  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister just said a moment ago that he would stand up to anti-Semitism whenever and wherever it occurs. Well, here it is. Stand up to it. The fact of the matter is that $90 million in taxpayer dollars is being used to fund UNRWA's indoctrination of child

Community Service  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a true community hero, Doug Mackie, for being awarded the Manitoba Lieutenant Governor’s “Make A Difference Community Award.” In 2011, Doug founded Men’s Sheds Canada here in Winnipeg.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as a first step, I think the government needs to get its act together on this.

Business of Supply  I have to say, Mr. Speaker, that I find the question very concerning because it tells me that the member is blind to the facts that are before him.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I would gladly take the 20 seconds.

International Development  Mr. Speaker, on January 27, I asked if the Prime Minister would suspend funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, given anti-Semitic classroom materials being distributed to Palestinian students. UNRWA claimed this was all just a big mistake and that offensive materi

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I present a petition on behalf of concerned Canadians in my community about the mistreatment of the Falun Gong practitioners in China. For over 21 years, the Chinese Communist regime's corrupt officials have orchestrated the torture and killing of many who practis

Employment  Mr. Speaker, thousands of students across Canada are struggling to find summer employment in the middle of a pandemic. Families in my community are trying to make ends meet, and students need jobs to pay for their education. Last year, the Liberal government's brilliant solution

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the impact of interest rate hikes on the government’s finances: what are the Department of Finance’s projections on the amount of interest the government will have to pay to service the debt in each of the next 10 years under the (i) current interest rate levels, (
