Ethics Mr. Speaker, it is amazing that on the first day back, after yet another example of Liberal law-breaking, they would put up a member to ask about ethics. We already knew that the member for Guelph was the only one in the House who had broken robocall rules, but now he is not alon

Ethics Mr. Speaker, repeatedly I have asked that member to say what he just said outside of the House of Commons. He always nods his head and promises to do it and then courageously sneaks out the back door. He would never do that, because he would not want to subject himself to the sam

Ethics Mr. Speaker, the member ran for the leadership of the Liberal Party. At the time, his colleagues took out huge loans that have not yet been repaid, and they represent illegal donations of almost $500,000. These donations were made almost seven years ago. The member should perha

Ethics Mr. Speaker, I do not know why he is asking questions of the Liberal Party away over there in the corner. He should be doing his job and defending his own constituents the way, for example, Mr. Penashue did when he was serving in the House of Commons. Let us consider the contra

Ethics Mr. Speaker, it is a curious question. I understand that these illegal donations were being made to the Quebec Liberal Party during the time that the now leader of the NDP was a member of the Quebec Liberal government. Perhaps the member should just pose the question to his leade

Ethics Mr. Speaker, I do not know why he does not, as I just suggested, direct the question to his own leader, who was in fact a member of the Quebec provincial Liberal caucus when these illegal donations were apparently made to the party of which his now leader was a member. The membe

Ethics Mr. Speaker, Mr. Penashue took responsibility for mistakes made by a volunteer during the election campaign. Now, he is trusting in the people of that riding. He is running on a strong record, having delivered a newly paved Trans-Labrador Highway and thousands of Muskrat Falls j

Ethics Mr. Speaker, it is not surprising that he set up a website. After all, he helped rural people in his constituency get access to high-speed Internet so that they could view websites. He also delivered for rural people by defending the ancient tradition of hunting. He protected the

Champlain Bridge Mr. Speaker, we are going to build a bridge. At the same time, we are open to some form of public transit. The Government of Quebec must indicate the kind of public transit it wants so that we can work to that end. The federal government is providing Quebec with a generous enve

Democratic Reform Mr. Speaker, our position on the Senate is clear. We want it elected. However, back here in the House of Commons there is some exciting news. On March 22 there will be a beer and pizza party. According to lanouvelle.net, “[The NDP MP for Sherbrooke] will be present, among other

Government Appointments Mr. Speaker, Mr. Porter resigned from his position long ago. These allegations have nothing to do with his time in service to the Government of Canada.
