The Budget Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a step back and talk about veterans. As the previous member stated, the previous government did not just close those offices; it really did absolutely nothing for veterans in its time. We have been in power for 18 months, and in this budget al

The Budget Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Brossard—Saint-Lambert. Our government believes in helping those who need it most. We believe that Canada is strong because of our differences, not in spite of them. We are proudly moving forward on a progressive platfor

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, the member across the way likes to talk about the fear of what this will do to free speech. I would say to the member that what he is talking about is fear-mongering against what free speech is all about. There is nothing in this motion that has any impact whatsoever
