Privacy  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about the robust system that is in place for the public servants who are responsible for handling these files. I talked about a top-down issue that they have. He also talked about the remedial training or support that public servants would receive

Privacy  Mr. Speaker, answers tabled in response to a query from my colleague, the member for Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock, showed 38 government agencies reported a total of more than 5,000 incidents last year in which classified or otherwise protected documents were mishandled and sto

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Ethics Commissioner released his report saying that Liberal Joe Peschisolido chronically failed to take reasonable steps to prevent his non-compliance with the code's disclosure obligations. It is not surprising, given the Prime Minister has been foun

Government Contracts  Madam Speaker, Canadians are concerned. Just today, the Peschisolido report was released by the Ethics Commissioner as part of a litany of ethical concerns and breaches coming from the Liberal benches. When it comes to Mr. Rock, who seemed confused about why there would be an eth

Government Contracts  Madam Speaker, the Liberal government's track record on ethical breaches is astounding. In the previous Parliament, Canadians were treated to the SNC-Lavalin scandal, when the Prime Minister politically interfered in the criminal prosecution of his friends at SNC-Lavalin. Canadia

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, all Canadians, and all women, deserve full protection under the law, irrespective of and especially in vulnerable circumstances. They rely on legislators to craft laws and to make well-informed and appropriate appointments so that we are protecting them. In this

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the official opposition's role is to hold the government to account, and that is truly what we are doing in this case. It is not a matter of pointing fingers. It has been established that a clear lack of judgment was exercised. This matter needs to be reviewed by

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today in the House to speak to this very important opposition day motion that comes as a response to the tragedy that occurred in Quebec City a week and a half ago. It is a disaster wherein a young woman was let down by the justice system and

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we know why the member for Kingston and the Islands is not asked. It is because the Liberals keep a good database.

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. My question is about sovere

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  I wonder if the member for Lethbridge, in spite of the interruptions, can give us some comment on that.

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. I am just wondering if you, Madam Speaker, would like to give him the same opport

Privacy  Mr. Speaker, the government revealed that 38 departments and agencies mishandled sensitive information more than 5,000 times last year. Clearly this is not a one-off. This is a pattern across the Liberal government. Information was mismanaged and misplaced. It is clear the Libera

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.
