COVID-19 Testing  Madam Speaker, the self-proclaimed feminist Prime Minister talks a lot about applying a gender lens to every policy decision. The reality is that a quick application reveals that his failure to prioritize rapid tests is failing women. Women make up the majority of residents in

Health  Mr. Speaker, Ontario's Long-Term Care COVID-19 Commission released an early report last week. This report has urgent recommendations to help protect Canada's seniors in care and to mitigate the risks of outbreaks. It emphasizes the critical need for prioritized access to rapid te

Telecommunications  Madam Speaker, all I heard in that response was that billions upon billions of dollars have been invested in rural broadband and connectivity. That statement does nothing for my constituents. It does not give my constituents confidence that they will have broadband access in the

Telecommunications  Madam Speaker, there is a digital divide between rural and urban Canada. It is now over five years ago that the CRTC designated broadband as an essential service, yet far too many of my constituents in Battlefords—Lloydminster remain disconnected without access to rural broadband

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, this goes back to a speech I gave in this place earlier today, about not rushing things and making sure we take the time to listen to Canadians, stakeholders and experts. Another good point that I mentioned in my speech is that there was supposed to be a review. The

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege for me to speak to Bill C-7, an act to amend the Criminal Code regarding medical assistance in dying. As parliamentarians, it is so important that we are mindful that the decisions that are made in this place have a real-life impact on Canadians, an

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, we have heard this a lot throughout the day, and throughout yesterday, that the Liberals were delayed in bringing the legislation forward. When they did bring it forward, they decided to prorogue Parliament for scandal cover-ups, and that is the only reason. We are

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, the member and I sit on HUMA together and have studied a lot together. Almost every conversation is a difficult conversation. Our society has gone so far beyond even communication. We absolutely need to encourage conversations. I would like to see what I had read ea

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I do not have faith. I have voted against. I do not have confidence in the government, and I am on record for that. However, if this is truly a team Canada approach and we truly care about the lives of people, we will ensure that this is correct and right so the co

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak to Bill C-6, an act to amend the Criminal Code, in relation to conversion therapy. It is my belief that harmful conversion therapy practices are wrong and have no place in Canadian society. No person should be forced or coerced to change their

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, in my home province, all of our municipal and provincial elections are happening at the same time right now, so I do not think that is wise. I also do not think it is fair or honest for the governing party to be bullying opposition into corners and threatening to cal
