House debate  Mr. Chair, the minister says that the government has satisfied its disclosure obligations in the Vice-Admiral Mark Norman case. It turned over 8,000 documents, but 144,000 documents were identified. Does the minister believe that 5% is an adequate rate of return?

House debate  Mr. Chair, on various occasions, both the minister and the Prime Minister cited a desire to protect SNC-Lavalin jobs in Canada as the motivating factor as to why they unethically, and possibly illegally, interfered in a criminal trial. However, no less of an authority than the c

House debate  I am just wondering, Mr. Chair, is the floor mine or am I sharing it with my colleagues across the way? Who misled the minister to think that jobs were at risk and that it was appropriate for the government to put its finger on the scales of justice?

House debate  Mr. Chair, I see one of the hon. members for P.E.I. is over there and he has a lot to say, so maybe he can help the minister with this. Gregory Cann was appointed as a judge in Prince Edward Island. His wife has been a Liberal donor, perhaps to that member, and was on the judici

House debate  Mr. Chair, does the minister know of anyone in government, the PMO, PCO or any ministerial or members' offices who have been contacted by the RCMP as it relates to the SNC-Lavalin scandal?

House debate  Mr. Chair, based on the wide-ranging implications of the Liberals' scandals, that question may be appropriate, but I will move on. In the former attorney general's briefing note provided to the justice committee, she said, “I did make another decision at this time — that I woul

Canada–Madagascar Tax Convention Implementation Act, 2018  Mr. Speaker, it is important for everyone to pay their fair share. Although the government campaigned on a promise to do things differently, it turned around and cut millions of dollars in cheques to billionaires. That is not the right thing to do. The Liberals have not done the

Canada–Madagascar Tax Convention Implementation Act, 2018  Mr. Speaker, there is so much there to talk about. As the Leader of the Opposition has said, we will release our environmental plan before the end of June as part of his announcements on his vision and our vision for Canada. Our environmental plan will be just that, a plan to
