Points of Order  Thank you, Madam Speaker, for recognizing me on the House of Commons floor. Madam Speaker, according to the green book, the role of the Speaker is as follows: The office of the Speaker must be distinguished from its incumbent, who requires the support and goodwill of the House

Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, no other democratic country in the world uses its broadcasting act to censor what Canadians post online. Let that sink in for just a moment. It would appear that the Prime Minister wants Canada to be likened to countries like North Korea and Communist China. Exper

Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, we are talking about free speech. The government's Bill C-10 intends to censor artists and creators who are achieving success online. We were in the middle of going through Bill C-10 clause by clause in committee, which is the normal and right legislative process

Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, “how low can they go” is the name of the game when it comes to free speech with the Liberals and their attack, time and time again. Bill C-10 undeniably threatens the voices of Canadian creators. MPs have contended for them by standing up for their voices and thei

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I am looking for some clarification, because it has been a bit of a shemozzle. We raised some points of order, a member got cut off partway through his point order, the Speaker insisted on then going into the 30 minutes for questions and comments. Now we are back

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I wanted to ensure that speaking time is protected. I have another point of order, but I will allow you to go to others first.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I am rising on a point of order in order to challenge this ruling, the admissibility of the time allocation that has been moved by the government, because it does—

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I am rising on a point of order in order to challenge the admissibility of that time allocation motion because it does not satisfy the requirements of Standing Order 78(3) and the usual practices of this House. Please allow me to explain further. Standing Order 78

The Conservative Party of Canada  Mr. Speaker, Conservatives have a clear vision for securing Canada's future, but unlike the Liberals, we believe our country's success lies in the Canadian people, not in government. Canadians are the problem-solvers, the solution makers and the wealth-creators. They have and wil

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to consultations by the Department of Canadian Heritage and reports that the government refused to give media outlets copies of consultation reports related to Bill C-10, An Act to amend the Broadcasting Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Ac

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, with Bill C-10, the government would promote and demote content based on its level of Canadianness. Last week, I asked the Prime Minister if he thought the film Ultimate Gretzky fit within this category of Canadian. He seemed to think so, and of course most Canadian

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, it is clear the Prime Minister has zero clue as to what is in this bill and the consequences it will have for creators in Canada. Let us just try another one. Again, we are just having fun here. Canadian Bacon is a movie featuring all things Canada and stars our ver

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, I am not sure it gets any easier than this. I mean, I am just asking some simple Canadian cultural questions to a Prime Minister who wants to protect Canadian culture. I thought this was going to be pretty simple, but he is right. It is not considered Canadian conten

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, we often hear it said that diversity is our strength. At least, that is what the Prime Minister often says. The irony with this is that Bill C-10 would actually attack diversity by narrowly defining what is constituted as Canadian content and therefore what will be d

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, this bill has everything to do with attacking Canadians and nothing to do with going after these web giants. Canadian content creators from minority groups are doing better than ever on platforms like YouTube. They are able to reach a global audience without any int
