Strengthening Military Justice in the Defence of Canada Act Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his kind words regarding my skills. For the record, I do not plan on embarking upon any new careers. For the time being, I will focus on my work here and dedicate my time to trying to foil the defence. That said, we certainly worked very

Strengthening Military Justice in the Defence of Canada Act Mr. Speaker, I will start by saying that I am pleased to be sharing my time with the member for Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, who will undoubtedly echo my remarks today. First of all, as some of my colleagues have mentioned, it is important to say that the NDP will support the bi

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I want to respond to the member's initial comments. Today, the Liberals are playing petty politics on this issue by accusing us of saving the Conservatives in 2005. However, in the minority governments of 2006 to 2011, how many times did the Liberals save the Conser

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I want to reassure my colleague. The Liberal Party is where it is right now for a number of reasons. Since their new leader was elected, we have seen them getting a little closer to the Conservatives. Why not say so and tell everyone? Just yesterday, the Liberals sup

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, today there is no denying it: the situation is critical. This is not the time to celebrate, and the time for empty rhetoric is over. We have heard many facts today. I think that in the days and years to come, it will be time to take action. Here on this side of the

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to ask my Conservative colleague a question about Canada's international reputation, which is losing much of its lustre. I would like him to comment on this as a member of Parliament. What does he think of Canada's current reputation as a country that h

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be able to ask my colleague a question. She seems to want to rewrite history today by saying it is the NDP's fault that the Conservatives came to power in 2006. How many times did the Liberals support the Conservatives, saving them when they were a m

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have this opportunity to ask my colleague a question. At the end of the day yesterday, the Speaker delivered his ruling. Does my colleague still think that today's motion is relevant and important, given the Speaker's ruling? The ruling pointed out t

Combating Terrorism Act Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, enlightening as usual. I would like to ask him about the government's way of doing things. He already talked about it in his speech. I actually think the bill could have been passed a number of weeks, if not months, ago because

Combating Terrorism Act Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech, which was excellent, as always. I would like to hear her thoughts on the government's habit of reacting to specific events by introducing a bill. This is very opportunistic. She mentioned that in her speech. Could the member tal

Combating Terrorism Act Mr. Speaker, my colleague appeared to have some reservations about the constitutionality of Bill S-7 in terms of rights being respected. The hon. member for Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine also suggested that this bill might not meet the constitutional test. I recall a story abo

Conservative Party of Canada Mr. Speaker, the Conservative mutineers have finally spoken. The Prime Minister and his cronies have crossed the line with their latest orders. On one side, there is the captain of the Costa Conservative and his staff, who refuse to admit to the slightest mistake even when one of
