Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I had the pleasure of sitting beside my colleague from Cowichan—Malahat—Langford on the flight last night and talking about one part of the motion, which is the creation of a publicly accessible beneficial ownership registry. In the budget last year, we provided fu

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, today I have the honour of presenting petition 11619443. This petition was initiated by For Our Kids, a group of parents on the Sunshine Coast in my riding who are concerned about the future we are leaving future generations as a result of human-induced climate chang

Mike Sharp and Caroline Helbig  Mr. Speaker, this January, my community lost two local icons when a tree tragically fell through their West Vancouver home in a windstorm. Mike Sharp and Caroline Helbig contributed immeasurably to the fabric of the community of West Vancouver and Horseshoe Bay. Caroline's deep

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Labrador. Budget 2022 has been tabled at a time when Canada is seeing historic growth in our economy. Canada’s GDP is higher than it has ever been, and the IMF is projecting Canada to have the fastest-growing economy i

The Budget  Madam Speaker, indeed there are some very important investments made as part of this budget to support the path forward on reconciliation. I mentioned in my speech earlier the very much needed investments into indigenous housing. There are also important investments made in imple

The Budget  Madam Speaker, indeed this is a measure that is put in place for two years, and we will be able to monitor the impacts and benefits of this measure to determine what the path forward is at that point. We want to make sure that homes in Canada are used for people who actually live

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. The budget includes investments in the rapid housing initiative. I think that it is an important program for the most vulnerable Canadians. However, it is not the only investment. We also plan to invest in co-op

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, many indigenous, rural and remote communities are still heavily dependent upon diesel and other fossil fuels for heat and for power. Will the Prime Minister please tell the House what the government is doing to ensure that these communities and communities in rural

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Madam Speaker, two weeks ago, I had the privilege of rising in the House to speak to the many ways that budget 2022 will improve the lives of Canadians.

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I think my hon. colleague's question speaks directly to the reasons why we need to move ahead on some of these measures. It is one thing to have a list of sanctions and individuals we are going to be sanctioning, but if we do not actually have the tools in place to

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I disagree with what the member said about the government not investigating tax havens. We are going against some of the tax havens that we have here. There are new measures in the budget this year that do just that, including ways in which individuals are using i

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I absolutely agree. In this budget, there is over $2 billion going to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to be able to deal with the backlogs.

The French Language  Mr. Speaker, the French language is an integral part of life and of the history and future of Canadian culture, which has been supported nationally through official bilingualism. I had the privilege of attending French immersion at École Pauline-Johnson, where I started learning

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in this House to speak in favour of Bill C-11, the online streaming act.
