Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, I must admit that it is refreshing to hear a speaker this afternoon who has actually stated his position on the bill that is before the House. Does the member have any observations on why the Conservatives seem to want to talk about anything this afternoon other t

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, once again, we have heard another speech from the Conservatives, who spend a lot of time talking about things other than Ukraine and the assertion that they do support Ukraine, but at the same time they are delaying the implementation of this free trade agreement.
November 20th, 2023House debate
Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, experts have told us that the last 12 months were the warmest 12 months on this planet in 125,000 years. Are the Conservatives seriously telling us today that the reason they are not moving ahead on implementing this free trade agreement is because it makes refere

Emergency Preparedness Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. With respect, I think if you examine the proceedings today, you will see that the point of order raised by the member for Winnipeg Centre is about the use of the term “crazy”, referring to someone's mental health as a pejorative. It does

Canada Labour Code Mr. Speaker, I always enjoy these sessions in the House, where the Conservatives and the Liberals compete over who is the worst at things. Whether it is the worst at supporting Ukraine, or the worst at supporting housing or the worst friends of workers, it is nice to hear that de

Canada Labour Code Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the hon. member shares with me my enthusiasm for this new legislation in that it has something that Quebec and British Columbia both lack, which is attention to the fact that, with the rise of remote work, there is often no longer a physical picket line t
November 27th, 2023House debate
Canada Labour Code Madam Speaker, I wonder whether the hon. member shares with me my confidence that the new bill would do a better job than those in both British Columbia and Quebec, in that it attempts to address the question that is important in areas where the federal government has jurisdictio
November 27th, 2023House debate
Canada Labour Code Madam Speaker, we have heard the Conservatives talk a lot about more powerful paycheques. Could the member expand a bit on how workers got more powerful paycheques and the role of trade unions in getting health and safety requirements in the workplace, better leave requirements a
November 27th, 2023House debate
Canada Labour Code Mr. Speaker, I wonder how the hon. member for Windsor West squares the rhetoric we keep hearing from the Conservatives about powerful paycheques with the fact that they oppose legislation like this and they have twice before voted against a federal minimum wage.
November 27th, 2023House debate
Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I too am pleased to see this bill back before the House fairly quickly, with Senate amendments, which I think help improve the bill. We can make the legislative changes around bail, but there is a concern about public disorder and low-level offenders. We know that
November 30th, 2023House debate
Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I am a bit puzzled by the speech from the Conservative member, because, of course, his party was part of the House of Commons that unanimously supported the bill. His party was the one that called for swift action to deal with repeat violent offenders. Many of the
November 30th, 2023House debate
Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I intend to be very brief this afternoon because the bill we have before us was supported unanimously by the House and has had some useful amendments made by the Senate, which I now hear that everyone in the House is prepared to support. The bill would do two thin

Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I first want to start by saying that I do quite often resent the implication that anyone in the House does not have sympathy for victims and what happens to them, or that anyone in the House actually supports crime and criminal activity. What I support, and my back
November 30th, 2023House debate
Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I would like to point out to the hon. member that, of course, her private member's bill had a poison pill in it for people like me who want to vote for things that are effective. Does reform to the bail system cause crime? No, it does not, and reforms to the bail
November 30th, 2023House debate
Criminal Code Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Winnipeg North for his comments, because I have the same reaction to this action by the Conservatives. It is a party whose leader said they would come back and get this done in one day. It has taken a bit longer than that, but we could get
