Proceedings of the House and Committees  Madam Speaker, we need those private members' bills. I am waiting to have a real debate in Parliament on a private member's bill that would impact farmers and business owners in my riding so that they would be able to transfer their own businesses to their kids without extra fees

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Madam Speaker, the member has actually described, quite appropriately, the work of Parliament. This is exactly what we are seeking. Unfortunately, in the Liberal motion, they limit this whole array of activities to committees only, which have no power whereby we could properly t

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. During my speech, I mentioned that Parliament is an essential service. Similarly, day camps are an essential service in Canada this summer. They make it possible for parents to return to their professional activities. My col

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on his excellent argument in favour of this important institution that is our Parliament, where we have the privilege of sitting. It is not for nothing that he won the orator of the year award in 2018. He is the first francophone

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, Canada already has one of the most restrictive gun registration and control systems in the world. However, in the midst of a pandemic, the Liberals are going after law-abiding gun owners, including hunters and sport shooters, instead of tackling the source of the pro

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I invite her to look at what the Conservative Party did when it was in power. We took action to limit milk protein imports from New Zealand and to stop the illegal import of cheese in the form of pizza kits. We did plenty. Unl

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Certainly, everyone agrees that we are supporting a bad deal that does not address matters like the softwood lumber dispute or government procurement, for instance. I have a note dated December 19 about Prevost, a flagship c

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his kind words and his question. I would remind him, however, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I encourage him to remain vigilant. The agreement will not be changed.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Alberta for the question. It allows me to remind hon. members that at the heart of this rail crisis is a first nation whose band council supported the project. The majority of hereditary chiefs are in favour of the project.
