Emergencies Act Mr. Speaker, I will start by taking note of the recent news that Her Majesty the Queen has contracted COVID. Reports tell us she is well and continues to perform light duties, but, of course, Her Majesty is 95 years old and this places her in a high-risk group, even for the relat

Ukraine Mr. Speaker, I do not think we should engage in an exercise of comparative victimhood credentials. I will observe that I too have Jewish ancestors. My grandmother was born in Bialystok. Fortunately, she came here before the Holocaust occurred, but of the 10,000 Jewish residents o

Christmas Mr. Speaker, 'Twas the week before Christmas, from the House floor, MPs rewriting the verses of Clement Moore, whose Night Before Christmas we all know so well, yet spoofing it just right can be hard as hell. When writing my version last year at this time, it was har

Petitions Mr. Speaker, I have to follow my own rule about being succinct, and so I will just say that I am presenting the same petition that was presented by the members for North Island—Powell River and Edmonton Strathcona earlier, which were dealing with the climate emergency. The peti

Points of Order Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I thought my colleague from Kingston and the Islands had an interesting point, although I did not agree with him entirely. He said that we ought to be succinct when introducing private members' bills, and he then cited something he though

Government Program Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. If you seek it again, you will find unanimous consent. I am sure the member for Winnipeg North spoke out of turn and meant to agree with the motion. He is the only one who said no.

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees —and now this member, who claims that Conservatives are disrespectful and will not follow the rules of decorum, is heckling in the middle of my comments.

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees Mr. Speaker, it is good to see my next-door neighbour back in the House of Commons. My next-door neighbour gave a long list of ways in which my party and all the people on the Conservative side of the House have not been taking the pandemic seriously. I will not go through his
