Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, as you can see, I am very happy to get up all day, every day to elevate the voices of the families that have been left out by this failed Liberal-NDP policy, in particular, families with kids with special needs.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I ask, in response to the minister, for unanimous consent to table the documents to show that there are not more women entering the workforce—

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, we have heard a lot today from the minister, and it is unfortunate that, after our pointing out the hardships and chaos that has ensued, she wants to just look at the toxic positivity or gaslight the operators and families that are truly suffering. People are benefi

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, it is a shame to hear that the Liberals want to close debate on a subject matter that is impacting families across this country, in every province and every territory. There is article after article talking about the chaos that has been unleashed due to this pipe dre

Employment Insurance Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Battlefords—Lloydminster for this incredible bill, which will bring parity and equity in mental health and attachment to adoptive and intended parents. What we are talking about today, for folks watching, is Bill C-318, which was created

Employment Insurance Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for all of her hard work on this file and this bill. As a mom of four herself, she has done incredible work. My question for the member is this: What is different in the member's bill versus what was in the Liberals' Bill C-59? Why is

Government Business No. 35—Extension of Sitting Hours and Conduct of Extended Proceedings  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, just to reiterate to the hon. member opposite speaking about child care, that is already in place. There does not need—

Criminal Code  moved: Motion No. 1 That Bill S-205, in Clause 1, be amended (a) by replacing lines 4 to 17 on page 1 with the following: “1 (1) Section 515 of the Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (3): (3.1) Before making an order under subsection (2) in resp

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I love how my colleague speaks about his wife and his children. Knowing him on a personal level, I know how valuable his children and family life are to him. Going back to what he was talking about with the single moms, we have the stats here right now coming out of

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I really enjoy working with my colleague on the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Ideologically, sometimes we do not see eye to eye, but where we do is with respect to helping to empower women. What the member is saying about ECEs is the exact same thing we

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I enjoy working with my colleague on the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. She is a very direct and honest person, and I enjoy her humour as well. My question for her would be in regard

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I had an excellent time working with my colleague on this bill. I have two things. Number one, does the member think it was worthwhile for the federal government to interfere in provincial jurisdiction when this is a provincial matter? Number two, the Liberals turn

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I do work very well with my colleague across the way. We, as Conservatives, supported her amendment in committee to support indigenous people, for children and parents to have that right under UNDRIP, and the Liberals did not. I think it is really insulting to these

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I do feel that we were allies with the Bloc, and we are allies in what has happened. The Bloc got this right from day one. Keep it in the province. Why did the feds wade into this water? Why did they do this?

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I am so glad the Liberal members have to stand up to ask what this has to do with child care because it has everything to do with child care. That is the reality. I will read the headlines to members. These are just from the last month: “As the Liberals' universal d
