An Act Respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis Children, Youth and Families  Mr. Speaker, I think we all agree that we need to do more to protect children. What I find really sad is that the government has said that reconciliation and protecting children is very important, yet it waited three and a half years to table a bill. Then it uses legislative meas

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, there is nothing wrong with joking around with donors for laughs, but making fun at the expense of a protester who wants to fix the catastrophic situation at Grassy Narrows First Nation is utterly shameful, especially considering that the Prime Minister has still not

Justice  Mr. Speaker, since yesterday, the Liberals have been going full steam ahead. Rather than focusing on telling Canadians the truth, they are spending all their time criticizing and even attacking the former attorney general for recording a conversation in which she was asked 17 t

Justice  Mr. Speaker, our thoughts and prayers are with Claude Grou. Every Liberal in the House knows very well that they are in serious trouble because of the interference scandal involving the Prime Minister's Office. They promised that this affair would be studied by the Standing Comm

Justice  Mr. Speaker, I do not get it. The Liberals have to realize that despite all their efforts they cannot deflect attention from this scandal. People no longer trust the Liberal Party. They know that the Prime Minister did something inappropriate. Two former ministers are telling u

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, when Liberal cronies want to have legislation passed discreetly, or get special meetings, or have the attorney general pressured into changing her mind, all they have to do is ask. In the meantime, our dairy farmers and the regions in Quebec get nothing. What is mor

Justice  Mr. Speaker, people want the truth, the whole truth. After the former attorney general testified, the prime minister said that he disagreed with her testimony. Then he admitted that he did not even listen to all of it. He is changing his story again. Canadians want the truth and

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has been refusing to tell the truth since the news about SNC-Lavalin broke. For nearly three weeks now, the message has changed daily. He even refused to let the former attorney general speak while allowing the current Attorney General to speak ev
