Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. She is wonderful to work with on the status of women committee. On the surface, if we just read the Coles Notes version, we would say we need help because they are drowning. The competitive market is destroying them. That is the reality. They

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, that is a great question. On the surface, I would sit down with them and tell them to read the bill. It is not going to give them what they think it will. They need help. Every small media company is literally drowning. If the government walks in and says it will g

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her journalism career. I know she has had a good one. I know she has worked in a newsroom and knows how hectic it is. Knowing what she does know, and back to my point of the administrative end of things, how in the world is that going

Online News Act  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Provencher. As always, I recognize what a privilege it is to stand in the House of Commons and represent my community of Peterborough—Kawartha. Today, we are debating Bill C-18 amendments that have been brought back fro

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, as always, it is an honour to rise in the House and speak on behalf of my community of Peterborough—Kawartha. The helpers need help from Bill C-321. That is why we are here today. I think it would be a real miss if I did not start this speech by addressing the hor

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, just when we think things cannot get any worse with the Liberal government, the Prime Minister says “hold my beer”, because it is a game to the Prime Minister. That is what this is. For three months, the public safety minister knew that child murderer and Scarborou

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister is so upset, why will he not stand up and answer the question, and talk to the victims' families? If the Liberals care so much, then do it. I have said this before: The buck stops with the minister. Stop the blame game. This is people's lives.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her thoughtful and common-sense speech. I know she comes from a riding that I am sure she has stories from. She started off the beginning of her speech by alluding to them a bit. I am wondering if there is anything she wants to share in the

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I want to acknowledge that the member has the most adorable children, one of whom is here with us tonight in the House. He is adorable. It is nice to see all the children who are often brought to Parliament as we include our kids in it. I think the member has talk

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, the YMCA was brought up. I have a letter here from Christine Pasmore, a day care provider, who talks about two YMCA after-school care locations that will be closing because of this bill. I thought I would tie that in. The hon. member brought up trust. Tonight we h

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I did not know she had twins. That is a great fact. Sometimes when we are sitting around the House late at night, we learn great facts about our colleagues, and twins are definitely a blessing. I want to talk about what we did

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I am not sure why the member is telling the House that Conservatives are not supporting this bill. That is not true.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I find this really interesting, because as I said in my speech, the NDP often advocates for the most vulnerable, which is wonderful, but we have on record Ms. Maggie Moser, who has said in committee that: The implementation provides undue benefits to higher-incom

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I enjoyed working with the Bloc in committee on this. I just want to say, for the record, I am a Conservative woman and I am not at home raising my kids, but it would be fun if I could be home with them at the same time. He did make reference that Conservatives onl

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, “accountability” and “Liberals” are two words that do not go in the same sentence, and the reason I say that, today in particular, is that it is extra deflating today. We have a Minister of Public Safety who knew for three months that the worst criminal in Canadian
