News Media Industry  Mr. Speaker, Engage Canada has made a $4 million ad buy to attack the Conservative Party, and the Liberal Party has not had to spend a cent. Unifor has bragged about donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Engage Canada and has even publicly asked its membership to donate

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister changed the law to allow government-funded influencers to interfere in the election, once again using his power to try to rig the election. The Chief Electoral Officer agrees that a campaign involving social media influencers is very politically

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, that is ironic coming from a Liberal government that has no problem breaking the law. We have seen Liberal ministers exchanging cash for access, our current Prime Minister being the first in Canadian history to be found guilty of breaking ethics laws and the Prime Mi

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, Elections Canada announced that it is going to use social media influencers in the upcoming election. The Chief Electoral Officer agrees that this type of campaign is very politically sensitive, but it refused to release the names of these 13 influencers. The Prime

Democratic Institutions  Madam Speaker, the only dangerous game would be to rig the election. Elections Canada is keeping secret the names of its social media influencers: musicians, celebrities, athletes and YouTube producers. However, it is unfair and impossible for the Prime Minister to demand these

Democratic Institutions  Madam Speaker, we have learned that Elections Canada plans to spend $650,000 to hire social media influencers. Elections Canada should be focusing on free and fair elections, instead of being forced by the Liberal government to come up with another way to rig the election. When

Calgary Ukrainian Festival  Madam Speaker, this past weekend my family and I had the pleasure of attending the 10th annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival in my riding of Calgary Midnapore. As both my husband and my mother come from Ukrainian backgrounds, it is something we all look forward to every year. The

2019 Federal Election  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has dismissed the importance of our democratic institutions over the last four years as it goes about its policy agenda. Our democracy and our democratic institutions are the foundation of our system of governance and one of the primary reason

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister changed the Elections Act for his own personal gain. He decided on the debate format without any consultation. Now, we have learned that he appointed partisan groups to determine which media outlets will receive over a half a billion dollars in sub

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, instead of safeguarding the upcoming election against foreign interference and protecting the privacy of Canadians and their data, the Prime Minister was too busy trying to rig the election for his own personal gain. Now he wants us to believe that his partisan pane

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister continues to prove that he does not care about right or wrong, as long as he gets his way. When he tried to interfere in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, his then attorney general got in the way, so he fired her. Ben Chin was one of the Pr

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I rise today to table a petition submitted by constituents in my riding of Calgary Midnapore. The petitioners clearly care deeply about the welfare of animals. They ask that the sale and/or manufacturing of animal-tested cosmetics and their ingredients be banned

Democratic Reform  Madam Speaker, we told the Liberals time and time again that they were irresponsibly rushing through changes to Canada's election laws. Now major social media platforms, such as Google, confirm that they were not consulted on significant changes to legislation. Although the Prime

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, the Liberals' anti-energy policies and legislation have destroyed Canada and Alberta's reputation as a stable, fair, predictable destination for energy investment. The Prime Minister has failed to take substantial action or exert federal jurisdiction to ensure TM

The Senate  Mr. Speaker, we continue to get confirmation of the Prime Minister's hypocrisy. Potential so-called independent senators are being run through the Liberals' partisan database to determine whether they have had any prior affiliation to the Liberal Party. The Prime Minister wants t
