Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls  Madam Chair, I was deeply moved by the hon. member for Winnipeg Centre's remarks, and I thank her for her bravery and her courage, which have continued for many years, on this file.

Firearms  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals continue to deny they are going after Canadian hunters with their latest gun ban, but the ban list is out and hunters across the country have seen many of their commonly used firearms on that list. Hunters from Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, the north an

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question from my colleague, who is also from Winnipeg and a fellow Manitoban. I take the member's point regarding former pieces of legislation that need work. The leader of the official opposition, the member for Carleton, has been very clear in his

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, I am enjoying this Manitoba debate. There are a couple of things I would say.
