Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. As we have had the opportunity for second takes, I would like to refer you back to the original point of order, which was that our members were also interrupted through the online heckling. I am wondering if, through you, we could find un

Income Tax Act  Madam Speaker, the government has bragged about all the consultations and feedback it has had from small business communities, yet we are in November, finally rolling out this program. I will share this with the hon. member for Courtenay—Alberni. In my community there is a BIA,

Income Tax Act  Madam Speaker, we have seen $750 billion in liquidity supports and regulatory easing for Bay Street and the big banks, and $81 billion in CERB. Now, here we are, talking about small business. They want to act as if they are hearing it for the first time. Could the hon. member te

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have had the privilege of working with the hon. member at committee throughout this entire pandemic. I know he is thoughtful, he cares about his constituents, and he, no doubt, probably cares about small businesses, too. As New Democrats, we have been calling on

Bills of Exchange Act  Madam Speaker, we heard the hon. member speak at length and with passion about his constituents in Parkdale—High Park as being defenders of inherent indigenous rights, yet he also spoke about the long road to reconciliation. In fact, it was reported today that near my community,

Bills of Exchange Act  Madam Speaker, I felt very compelled today to rise and share what a deep honour and privilege it is to serve beside the hon. member for Winnipeg Centre. Her existence in this space is an act of resistance. In her sharing today, she talked about the importance of land and every

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we heard the history of the October crisis in its historical context and heard members from the government's side talk about how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was implemented since then. This is also a government that supported the draconian Bill C-51, which of

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I appreciated the hon. member bringing up the nuances, and I particularly appreciated his calling out the potentials for ableism in the agency of patients. One of the challenges created by the current medical assistance in dying legislation is a requirement for fina

Bills of Exchange Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to rise and echo the deep honour and privilege of working with the hon. member. We have had many conversations around dismantling white supremacy and decolonizing our spaces, including this one in the House of Commons. We have heard arguments against the expe

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, that is not good enough. This week an Ontario court sided with private developers and applied a permanent injunction against the Haudenosaunee people on their own traditional territory at 1492 Land Back Lane. Last night, the OPP opened fire on land defenders with rub

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have had the honour of getting to know the hon. member who just spoke. I know him to be a very learned health practitioner with national leadership experience. He talked about some of the red flags. Today, we have heard about the potential for Liberal self-deal

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, just to recap, the hon. member did a phenomenal job of presenting the reasons why she could not support the motion from her perspective. Now I will share through mine some of the problems that are still outstanding with her rationale. At the outset of COVID, there

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, we have heard today from our Conservative friends down the way stories of anguish, conversations and statements around the sanctity of life and safeguards. It is clear to me that this is not a critique particularly of MAID, but, rather, the condemnation of capitalism

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the minister has just reminded us that everyone ought to have equal and inherent rights, but we know that throughout this pandemic the government has refused to prioritize the pursuit of a very equal life for people with disabilities. I want to bring the voice of o

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I want to acknowledge the words of the hon. member. I have known him to be a compassionate man. He talked about people with disabilities living with dignity, yet, as it relates to the COVID situation, with so many people living with disabilities being left out of
