Airline Industry  Mr. Speaker, Canadians, especially those who work in the tourism industry, saw how the government stood by them during the difficult period of the pandemic. They saw how the political opposition from the Conservatives was against providing support to those who needed it. We wil

Airline Industry  Mr. Speaker, it is not a surprise that a Conservative member of Parliament would repackage and misinform Canadians about what I said. Having said that, it is really important to acknowledge the good news today, which is that more and more Canadians are travelling. That is good ne

Rail Transportation  Mr. Speaker, the issue of rail traffic is of incredible importance to our government.

Health  Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague never agreed with any of the public health measures we put in place. He never supported vaccine mandates—

Health  Mr. Speaker, let me just say that these measures are temporary and we will always consult our public health experts on how to proceed forward. Let me just say to my hon. Conservative colleagues that they cannot, on the one hand, agree that vaccines save lives and, on the other h
