The Budget  Madam Speaker, I want to acknowledge that one my colleague's biggest fans may have been in the building while she was speaking. Thinking about the topic of her remarks, particularly her remarks about the climate crisis, and thinking about her children and my children, the fact i

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my brilliant colleague for his remarks. He spoke a bit about the excess profits in the grocery sector. This is something I have heard about from constituents. They go to the grocery store and are astounded by how few groceries they can buy with the same mon

The Budget  Madam Speaker, the member mentioned at one point in her speech that this budget is “turning a blind eye to the harsh realities” of ordinary Canadians. One of the harsh realities that ordinary Canadians face is the fact that millions of them cannot afford to get their teeth fixed.

Canfor Sawmill  Mr. Speaker, there are few things more devastating for a small rural community than learning that its main employer is closing its doors. That is the news the people of Houston, B.C. received last month when Canfor announced it is closing its sawmill in that community. Three hund

Historic Places of Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, that is one of the really important aspects of this work. We often fixate on the built environment, built history, artifacts and these types of things for interpretation. However, when it comes to indigenous history, so much of it is contextual and part of oral histo

Historic Places of Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, yes, as I was remarking near the end of my speech, providing adequate resources is such a key component. It is not enough to simply alter the composition of the board or provide direction to Parks Canada; we also need to ensure that the federal government is providin

Historic Places of Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I will try. My French is a very early work in progress, but I heard the member's remarks about how much he values the effort, so I will do my best. He was talking about reconciliation, the need for us to do better and to do mo

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, it is an honour to rise this evening and speak to Bill C-23, an act respecting places, persons and events of national historic significance or national interest, archaeological resources and cultural and natural heritage. This is a bill we support, of course, in la

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I listened to my colleague from Calgary Centre's interesting speech on national historic sites. He spent a great deal of time talking about the Trans Mountain pipeline, and it did pique my interest. It made me think that perhaps there is a category of historic site

Air Transportation  Mr. Speaker, everyone knows the Liberals' air passenger protections are not working. Even the minister himself knows it. He has promised new legislation this spring, but he has not consulted with any of the leading consumer advocacy groups on this issue. He is in luck because we

Strengthening Air Passenger Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-327, An Act to amend the Canada Transportation Act (air passenger protection). Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise this afternoon to table the strengthening air passenger protections act. This bill comes on the heels of two seasons of air travel c

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, Canadians find these allegations of foreign interference in our elections extremely troubling, and seven in 10 Canadians want to see a public inquiry. In fact, the Prime Minister's own former principal secretary believes a public inquiry into this matter is needed.

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague noted his disappointment that Bill C-33 does not include more provisions to deal with labour disruptions in the supply chain. I think comments like that raise alarm bells for a lot of working people, who have borne the brunt of the penchant for draco

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Madam Speaker, the government has carved out room on the boards of our ports for municipalities and local governments for obvious reasons. They are important stakeholders in our ports. As well, they have carved out room for the prairie provinces so that shippers of natural resour

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, I believe my colleague from Foothills said that we are going to have a bureaucratic monster that decides what is Canadian content and what is not. Looking past the hyperbole of that statement, I hope my colleague is aware that, for longer than I have been alive, Ca
