Government Programs  Mr. Speaker, while I appreciate the minister's remarks, this is not the first time the Liberal government has done this. We know that in March 2020, they barred pregnant women from receiving CERB, forcing them onto EI months earlier than planned and cutting short their maternity

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, while small businesses in my riding are struggling with yet another lockdown, the Liberals have been showering their rich Bay Street friends with millions of taxpayer dollars. We recently learned that a hedge fund company worth $180 billion in assets received nearly

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, the member did not answer my question, particularly not for the female entrepreneur in my riding. She did not address the fact that Liberals provided $2.9 million to Fiera Capital, a hedge fund whose executives and shareholders made over $100 million in bonus and div

Health  Mr. Speaker, the question on many Canadians' minds is when they will become fully vaccinated. By what date will enough vaccine doses arrive to Canada so that every Canadian who wants one will become fully vaccinated?

Health  Mr. Speaker, the federal government has presided over the delivery of unclear and changing advice on the AstraZeneca vaccine. There have been supply problems with the company that the federal government has not addressed, and now some provinces have stopped using this vaccine alt

Health  Mr. Speaker, I do not know if the Prime Minister is refuting the announcements by the Provinces of Alberta and Ontario on AstraZeneca, but it is really not clear. I am going to ask him again for clarity concerning a provincial response, what he said and what his advisers have tol

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are now learning that at least 32 companies that filed for bankruptcy before the pandemic was declared took millions from the wage subsidy, but no jobs were protected despite the taxpayer investment. It is becoming more and more clear that the Liberal gover

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if the Deputy Prime Minister is proud that her government-funded PenderFund Capital Management, which has $1.5 billion in assets, and one of its most prominent funds ever recorded was 40% of returns last year, or JM Fund Management, which had a pretty

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will be splitting my time with the member for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon. Nearly 700,000 students will receive the Canada student loan this year, and the program administers about $24 billion of student loans. This year, the program is in fact projected to grow

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the minister unfortunately did not answer my question of how much the private company that administers the student loan was paid. Again, it manages $24 billion of student loans. We do know that in 2017 and 2018 Finastra was paid over $77 million to run the student

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I am not sure why the minister would be proud of providing a billionaire company with the wage subsidy when it is making a lot of money. That is my question. Ultimately, I would like to know this as well. Robert Smith, the CEO of Vista Equity Partners, which owns Fi

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the minister keeps quoting that stat, but quite honestly, it sounds like some of these companies could have saved these jobs on their own and had billions of dollars to spare. The finance minister wrote a book about guys like Mr. Smith, where she argued the super-r

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Conservatives and Canadians supported pandemic relief efforts and programs, because they were sold to us as supports for Canadian families and Canadian businesses that were deeply hurt or at the risk of closing due to government shutdowns. They were not designed,

Public Safety  Madam Speaker, Canadians are disturbed that two scientists at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg may have been passing top-secret information to the communist regime in China. Both scientists were fired in January, but the Prime Minister will not tell us why. The scienti

Public Safety  Madam Speaker, Canadians were shocked to learn that two scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory may have shared confidential information with the Chinese Communist regime. This is a serious attack on our national security, but the Prime Minister refuses to be transpare
