Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, Canada has made the ambitious target of reducing emissions from the oil and gas sector by 40%, relative to current levels, by 2030, and is in the process right now of developing regulations to cap emissions and have them steadily reduced to net zero by 2050. I thin

Petitions  Madam Speaker, today I have the honour to present petition 11771830. The petition was initiated by Force of Nature, which is a non-profit in my riding and throughout the Lower Mainland of B.C. It is a strong advocate for all orders of government to take action to reduce greenhous

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her question. This bill has several advantages. Creators will be supported by the web giants, and it will be easier for people to access what creators are producing. This is very important for Quebec and for the whole country, because w

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, absolutely, this bill is very, very important for doing just that: being able to support Canadian content. That was a really unfortunate connection with the example that was given earlier, but whether it is Canadian TV like The Beachcombers, whether it is Canadian

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, I promise I will get to the end of this speech. I was talking about the example of Squamish Voices. Having built up a large following, it switched from this innocuous community group to launching personal attacks and character assassinations on progressive councillo

Online Streaming Act  Mr. Speaker, in fact, when I am talking about some of the very shady things that we are seeing happen that are poisoning discourse, I am not talking about censorship. In fact, I am talking about the exact opposite. We need to have transparency on that, on who is behind these thin

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. This legislation passed through this House just last year after extensive Conservative filibustering, but it had to be reintroduced because it ended up dying in the Sena

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

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 idea is that by the end of this year, with these investments, we will get back to a normal service standard,

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, 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. Today, I have the privilege to speak to how the rubber would hit the road with the budget implementation act. There are so man

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

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
