Government Contracts Mr. Speaker, as a result of the Liberal government's performance in the previous Parliament, marred by ethical breaches and cover-ups, the Prime Minister has mandated that his ministers hold themselves to the highest ethical standards. However, now we know that they are in the pr

Ethics Mr. Speaker, last week, we learned that under the Prime Minister, Canada has fallen to a 10-year low on the global corruption index. We know that the Prime Minister was found guilty of breaking the Conflict of Interest Act. We know he used his office to circumvent, undermine and

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today to talk about this important agreement with our most important trading partners.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, we have arrived at this deal and there are so many questions, but not as to why Conservatives might have concerns.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, truly it is a flawed process. Not only were the opposition and Canadians not given an opportunity to give input and help the government set its priorities throughout the negotiations, but the deal has been signed and we still do not know what is in it.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, the member's point is very well taken. It is very concerning.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, one of the members opposite talked about sovereignty. I know the member for Lethbridge commented on what we lose in terms of sovereignty when we have the U.S. making decisions about who we can and cannot have free trade agreements with.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. While we are on the subject, the member for Spadina—Fort York used some language that would also fall under the same category addressed by his colleague.
