Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, today I am speaking again to the government's bill, Bill C-7. I join my Conservative colleagues in being the voice for those who do not have one, those who have been thoroughly ignored and cast aside. Throughout this bill's debate, many people from the disability c

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I was listening intently to the parliamentary secretary's comments, and he used a word I have used in this place, a word that the Chair occupant at the time described as “unparliamentary”. I would never disagree with a Chair occupant, so when the parliamentary secret

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I am hearing a lot about Bill C-14 and Bill C-19. I am just wondering if the Speaker could remind the member of the matter of relevance?

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, at this point in the pandemic, the tourism sector is looking for certainty. It is looking for a plan from the government. The member mentioned that travel agents and tourism operators have been put in a bad situation. They are looking for a signal from the government

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, on that point of order, and not to speak for my colleague, as often happens in this place, members in responding to one of their colleagues, through you, do direct their comments in that fashion. While I agree with the member for Kingston and the Islands that the S

Ethics  Madam Speaker, while the parliamentary secretary harkens back to a time when the Liberals were the third-place party, we can look forward to that again in the future. He mentioned that the Conservatives have talked about the Prime Minister's record. We do not need to help him lo

Ethics  Madam Speaker, since day one, the Liberal government has made it abundantly clear it will always put its friends before everyday Canadians. If someone wants to get their hands on a lucrative fishing contract, they had better be related to the fisheries minister. If someone gets i

Health  Madam Speaker, across the border and minutes away from my community, U.S. seniors are able to be vaccinated at their convenience. On our side of the border, we are locked down, uncertain about our health and unable to see our families. Many are uncertain about their livelihoods.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my question is very straightforward. I am just looking to hear what kind of advocacy the member would look for from the government and from the special committee with respect to the energy needs of our country, and specifically with respect to Line 5 and its import

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my question for the member is about two very important issues that were presented with respect to our relationship with the United States. One is Line 5 and the other is the buy American provisions. Will the member confirm that he recognizes the importance of pres

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, can the minister update the House on the progress of negotiations with the U.S. administration on the buy American provisions? First of all, are those discussions ongoing, and has it been made clear to the United States administration that we are looking for an exe

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
