Ethics  Madam Speaker, the member opposite talked about things that I dream up at night, when these are, in fact, the nightmares Canadians are having with respect to the ethical scandals we are seeing from the Prime Minister's Office. The question I originally asked, which brought about

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, as we have heard, the Prime Minister is being investigated now for a third time, this time for his $43-million bailout for his buddies at the WE organization. He has spent the last five years dividing Canadians, but now we are seeing the divide in his own caucus and

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, we know where the Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth sits on this issue. She was at committee last week and gave a misleading and incomplete answer in response to questions as part of the cover-up of this latest scandal, so as part of the Prime Minister's

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan. I would like to quickly acknowledge the work of the hon. member for Regina—Qu'Appelle as the leader of Her Majesty's loyal opposition. This place has been better for his service as leader. I have a

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, how much—

Government Business No. 10  Mr. Chair, we have not had the opportunity to hear from the Prime Minister on a few issues, and I would like to invite the member to comment on them. The most pressing of these today are the ongoing scandals that have engulfed the government. We have a tremendous number of unansw

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I am rising today on a question of privilege concerning the Liberal government's disrespect of an order of the Standing Committee on Finance requiring the production of records related to the Prime Minister's half-billion-dollar WE scandal. At its July 7 meeting, th

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, it is a lasting tribute to my predecessor, the late Gord Brown, that our riding reflects all of the beautiful attributes of my constituency. I am rising today on a question of privilege regarding a deliberately misleading statement presented to the House by the Parl

Peschisolido Report  moved: That the House: (a) concur in the report of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner entitled “Peschisolido Report”, tabled on Wednesday, February 5, 2020, and thank him for his work; (b) resolve that Joe Peschisolido's 10 breaches of the Conflict of Intere

Peschisolido Report  Madam Speaker, I will take no lessons from that member or from these Liberals on what can be done by the House. The Liberals shut down Parliament six weeks ago. They shut down committees, just like they did last night at PROC. To be clear, the hon. member knows very well we are n

Peschisolido Report  Madam Speaker, the hon. member for Jonquière is absolutely right. The government did use the goodwill of the House, and powers that were given to it during extraordinary times, to attempt a power grab. Then it took the extraordinary benefit of the doubt that was given by all memb

Peschisolido Report  Madam Speaker, the member talked about covering people's backs. We know who the government is trying to cover for. It is for the insiders; it is for their Liberal friends, just as in the case of “The Trudeau Report”, just as in the case of the “Trudeau II Report” and just as in t

Peschisolido Report  Madam Speaker, the member for St. Catharines talked about a lack of seriousness. I will tell members what the official opposition finds serious. It is the work that the House should have been doing for the last six weeks. The Liberal Prime Minister slammed the door on Parliament,

Procedures and House Affairs  Mr. Speaker, cover-ups have been the name of the game under the Prime Minister. Time and time again, he has broken ethics laws, been caught and then tried to cover it up. We saw it again last night at the procedure and House affairs committee, when Liberals scrambled to shut it d

Procedures and House Affairs  Mr. Speaker, this is coming from the government that just shut down Parliament for six weeks and locked the doors on committee rooms. We will certainly take no lessons from the Liberals on how we will spend our time. They say they are working in good faith with committees. They
