Further COVID-19 Measures Act  Madam Speaker, no, I do not, actually. I have been paying attention to the people who are struggling to get by in my community. I can share with my colleagues that every step of the way, much like the CERB application, the wage subsidy application was also a boondoggle, in terms

Further COVID-19 Measures Act  Madam Speaker, it is very apparent that the Liberals cannot help themselves from helping themselves in this regard. They can click their heels, and do it quite often. This is apparent because when we originally passed the motion to support seniors and people with disabilities it

Government Business No. 9  Mr. Speaker, it has been reported that this trip had a price tag of around $41,000. I cannot help but think how many veterans that would have helped, how many people who are living in deep poverty and who are disabled would have helped. We heard the previous speaker talk about t

Black Community  Mr. Speaker, justice delayed is justice denied. The government has had all the power to immediately act on the priorities outlined by the Black caucus and supported by over 150 MPs, senators and cabinet ministers. However, from procurement to policing, the government has failed.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, in his speech, the hon. member outlined the struggles Canadians are facing.

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to economic recovery in response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, I am confounded by hearing Conservatives talk about workers and the working class. In fact, one of their hon. members talked about how, at the beginning of COVID, they did not believe in big fat government programs, so my question is this. The Conservatives have be

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, in his remarks, the hon. member talked about the non-partisan nature of the response to COVID-19, and I would agree with him.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit earlier this year, the national emergency stockpile had already been grossly mismanaged, with three warehouses shut down and millions of pieces of PPE thrown into the trash.

Health  Mr. Speaker, while the Liberal government's own COVID vaccine task force appears to be riddled with conflicts of interest from the pharmaceutical industry, Canadians continue to languish at the prospect of an even more severe second wave. In British Columbia, Premier John Horgan
