Ethics  Mr. Speaker, once again, the Leader of the Opposition attacks our Prime Minister for travelling abroad to conclude the biggest trade agreement since NAFTA. The NDP would simply like to build a big brick wall around Canada, a brick wall that would keep out 80,000 jobs, would keep

Health  Mr. Speaker, the Port of Quebec is an independent port authority and is responsible for managing its own operations and activities. That being said, the port has invested $12 million in preventive measures to remedy the situation. We will continue working with the people in the

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should read the Navigable Waters Protection Act. She would know that it was never an environmental protection law. There are environmental laws that protect the environment and the habitats of fish and other organisms, but the Navigable Waters Protect

Labour  Mr. Speaker, public polling indicates that the overwhelming majority of Canadians, surtout les Québécois, support union financial disclosure. They support it because unions receive millions of dollars in tax benefits, and taxpayers deserve to know how those benefits are spent. As

Labour  Mr. Speaker, the vast majority of Quebeckers support this bill. According to Leger Marketing, more than 80% of Quebeckers are in favour of union transparency. They know that workers are required to pay high dues. They also know that the New Democrats received more than $300,000 i

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, these members of Parliament were duly elected. We expect they have the right to speak in defence of the filings they made and which Elections Canada has in the past accepted. The member across mentions their right to sit in the House of Commons. In fact, we all hav

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, today we learned that Leann from the Grace Foundation lost her job. She lost her job because the Liberal leader charged $20,000 in speaking fees for a fundraising event that was a total bomb. It lost money, and donations that were intended to help the elderly who are

Employment  Mr. Speaker, the member asked about jobs. One worker for a non-profit organization actually lost her job as a result of the Liberal leader. Let me quote a letter that went to the Liberal leader from this organization that helps elderly people in desperate need: The fundraising

Citizenship and Immigration  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise today in support of the Conservative member of Parliament for Calgary Northeast and his bill, an act to amend the Citizenship Act, honouring the Canadian Armed Forces. This bill would strip citizenship from dual nationals who commit acts of war a

Elections Canada  Mr. Speaker, he is right when he says elections are like a competition, and Canadians deserve to decide who is the winner. In this case, they have also decided who to put way over there in that corner. They did that after years of Liberal corruption and theft. This is the party t

Elections Canada  Mr. Speaker, the member makes a factual error when he refers to an accounting dispute. The Liberal leadership candidates who have $500,000 in debts owing back almost seven years are not in an accounting dispute. Those are past due. That makes them donations over the limit, which

41st General Election  Mr. Speaker, the member across is wrong and very wrong. The Prime Minister's parliamentary secretary had his expenses signed off by Elections Canada years ago. I believe he has handled himself with grace and dignity throughout this entire process. That is in sharp contrast to t

41st General Election  Mr. Speaker, the member is quite right that the rot does start at the top of his very own party. It is his leader who said that he would welcome with open arms a Liberal senator who stole almost one-quarter million dollars in expenses from the Canadian taxpayer. It is his leader,

41st General Election  Mr. Speaker, the question is how many Liberals are defending their over billing to taxpayers? We have at least two Liberal MPs who billed false housing expenses so they could fill their pockets with taxpayer money illegally. They have Mac Harb, the Liberal senator, who owes almos

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, there are currently very good federal programs in place that provide funding for infrastructure in communities across Canada. If the hon. member has a particular project in mind, I would urge him to talk to us and tell us about it. We are always available to help Can
