Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. It is clear to me that western Canada's vision is not the same as Quebec's.

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, with the passing of the Hon. Jim Carr in mind, I would like to begin by offering my condolences to our colleague's family and friends. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish all members of the House a happy holiday season. Getting back to my colleague'
