Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, data is valuable. Right now we live in an economy based on a tangible old-style economy as well as in an intangible economy. That means data and intellectual property are very valuable to corporations. They are valuable to advertisers. I dare say they are valuable to

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, we do talk about child care. This bill actually looks at protecting the privacy of our children. It is disappointing to hear we are not interested in one or the other. We are interested in all of this for our children and in privacy specifically, because children wh

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, everyone knows ChatGPT. The member mentioned at one point that it helped write a question.

Competition Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-339, An Act to amend the Competition Act (efficiencies defence). Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise to present my first private member's bill. Competition is a myth in Canada. Canadians pay some of the highest prices in the world for a lo

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, a Liberal walks into a bar and says, “Drinks are on me.” Who is paying? Well, Canadians are paying: Canadians who are already paying double for mortgage and rent payments, Canadians who own businesses and farms who are struggling to keep their heads above water, and

Transport  Mr. Speaker, six times this year, the Prime Minister has been away on planes, trains and automobiles, while Canadians' actual planes, trains and automobiles are not working. To fix this problem, Picton Terminals, which would be the first Great Lakes shipping container entry, cou
