Petitions  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to present a petition on behalf of Christine Wingate in memory of her late son Shane. The opioid crisis, the most deadly public health crisis of my lifetime, which claims a life every two hours in our country, has seen a significant inc

Ethics  Madam Speaker, the member opposite does not need to look very deep into the facts to see that the Liberals did not spend their time focused on the right things, which is why Canada today is 29th in the world per capita on vaccine administration. That is an unacceptable result fro

Ethics  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise today to address the failings of the government. Throughout the fall of 2020, the Liberals spent time, effort and taxpayer dollars filibustering for dozens of hours across committees, all in the name of a cover-up to protect the Prime Min

COVID-19 Vaccines  Mr. Speaker, throughout this pandemic we have seen people, families and small business owners left behind by the government's response. Now Canadians are locked down and left behind because of the Liberals' failure on rapid tests and vaccines. Instead of focusing on vaccine deliv

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, it was interesting to listen to the member's comments. He seems confused about whom he is holding to account with his comments about the Harper government. He has a very interesting perspective on conspiracy theories, given his history with the 9/11 truth movement, a

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, we saw that priority was not given to seniors and Canadians with disabilities by the government, with its delayed and slow rollout of the pandemic relief it offered to them. We also know that the costs for folks living with disabilities and seniors have gone up be

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, it is shocking not to see the parliamentary secretary in the House. I know he prides himself on spending a great deal of time here, so it is very unusual to be in this position. It is nice to hear—

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, no good deed goes unpunished. I looked to say a nice thing about my colleague from Winnipeg North but will be sure to stick to the point. The Liberals are trying to measure progress by the amount of money they spend, with no regard for the efficacy of the way they

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, at this point in the pandemic and the government's mandate, it is quite confusing why we have not seen a plan to help a whole range of sectors: the airline sector, the tourism sector, small and medium-sized enterprises, and folks in the restaurant industry and the

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to add my voice to the debate on Bill C-14. I appreciate very much the contribution of my learned colleague. The bill deals with matters from the fall economic statement, which has still kept Canadians in the dark with respect to the financial fut

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's Report  Madam Speaker, I, too, thank the member for Etobicoke—Lakeshore for answering questions and giving his statement today. I have read the report in its entirety, and it says that the member for Etobicoke—Lakeshore “... submitted a disclosure statement but it was missing some info

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's Report  Madam Speaker, my question for the member is whether she believes that repeated contraventions of the Conflict of Interest Act and the code for members affect the confidence that Canadians have in members of Parliament and the Government of Canada to effectively deliver on our re

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's Report  Madam Speaker, I have a couple of quick questions for the parliamentary secretary. Because of these ethical questions, does he believe damage has been done to the confidence of Canadians in the government with respect to this important job it is doing during a pandemic? Does the

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's Report  Mr. Speaker, I ask for a ruling on the relevance of the parliamentary secretary's comments. The debate we are having deals specifically with the Maloney report concerning the member for Etobicoke—Lakeshore. As the parliamentary secretary is raising questions about parliamentarian

Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's Report  Mr. Speaker, we have been focused on the Liberals' corruption since the start of their mandate in 2015 because they immediately started breaking the rules. During the pandemic, they could not help but to help their friends. That is why they allowed insider access. When Canadians
