Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my great colleague from Edmonton on his amazing speech and the great job he is doing in the House in his various roles. In the Financial Post yesterday there was an article that said, “Brace for even higher rates when the Bank of Canada does s

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise for the first time after being re-elected by the great people of Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia—Headingley.

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to debate very carefully today and member after member on the government side has stood and said that this motion is about COVID, it is about protecting MPs, protecting the public and that is why we should have a virtual option. However, my prob

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, now that inflation has taken hold and is the second highest in the G7, and because of the current government's unbridled spending, Canadians are suffering with rising prices for basic necessities. Does the Prime Minister still maintain, at a time when Canadians nee

The Economy  Madam Speaker, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Argentina, the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Ukraine and New Zealand, which is a country that the finance minister said is very much like Canada, all have the same thing in common: They have increased i

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, a November 2021 NGO Monitor report shows that the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, an organization affiliated with the terrorist organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, also known as the PFLP, has been receiving Canadian tax dollars fro

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, of course we all know that, but strangely, a whole year earlier, back in October 2020, Global Affairs actually issued a statement saying it was not funding the UAWC directly or indirectly, and that it had concerns about the terrorist connections of the UAWC.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, that is why I am telling the minister of this, because the Canadian government is doing that.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, I look forward to that clarification and I hope the Canadian government will follow suit and also declare the UAWC a terrorist organization. I want to ask about UNRWA. Canada gives tens of millions of dollars to UNRWA. In January, IMPACT-se issued a report confirmin

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, the minister surely must be aware of what she is saying, because the school materials are teaching these young, vulnerable Palestinian children how to hate Jews.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, it is clear that the minister is not getting neutrality. In fact, I wish the government would do what the EU is doing and put its money where its mouth is. In September, because of these very concerns about the school materials, the European Union made its UNRWA fun

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, I hate to inform the minister again, but it is not happening. She should follow up with her contacts and make sure it is.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, he is an excellent appointment, but the minister did not answer the question. Has the envoy received any resources, funds, offices or support staff from the Government of Canada?
