Carson Cleland  Mr. Speaker, I am heartbroken and angry. I am angry that yet another family has lost a loved one to suicide. Carson Cleland was just like any other 12-year-old boy from Prince George. He was involved in sports; he was active in his community. However, he felt prey to a sadistic p

National Suicide Prevention Hotline  Mr. Speaker, suicide is a deeply personal issue that impacts us all. Years of hard work and advocacy are finally paying off. On November 30, more than 1,000 days after the House unanimously passed my motion to bring 988 to Canada, and after relentless pressure by Conservatives, C

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, if I understand my colleague correctly, no. Our transportation sector is among the most regulated in our country. Are there areas that we need to focus on? Absolutely. We need look no further than news reports in recent weeks about those who have disabilities and

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, one of the frustrating things with Bill C-52 and the Liberals' argument is they failed to mention the Canadian Transportation Agency. Complaints to this agency have grown to over 3,000 per month. There are over 60,000 Canadians who are waiting for their complaints

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I would agree 100%. That was my comment. Who sets that service standard? Are they going to set up yet another committee of industry experts who will meet and do nothing? Who sets those standards? Who agrees to those standards? What we see in Bill C-52 is that, onc

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, the hon. colleague, who has been in this House a lot longer than I have, summed it up quite succinctly. The issue that Conservatives have with Bill C-52 is it lacks the meat, the intention and the direction for when it gets to committee. What is the mandate for t

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, is that not what our Prime Minister does when he does not get his way? That is exactly what our Prime Minister does. If he does not get his way, he throws a hissy fit. He grabs his toys and complains that we are picking on him. Again, I am going to use the same c

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, perhaps it was in the delivery or perhaps it was in the translation, but what I was saying in terms of noise abatement and regional air service is there are mechanisms in place to deal with that. In his local community, the regional airport will have noise abatemen

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I am hearing from one of the colleagues that it is not enough. I, on the other hand, have risen 162 times. Shame on me. I should be getting up a little bit more. I have to be doing my job a little bit more. I get heckles from across the way. I listened to the deb

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank hon. colleagues for allowing me to be part of this debate on Bill C-52. I have listened intently to the debate. I even went back to listen to the debate of October 27. Some may ask why I did that. I spent about 25 years in aviation and I am keenly

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I want to ask our hon. colleague why a common-sense amendment to modify the definition of state-owned enterprise to include any company, entity headquartered in an authoritarian state like China could fail? Why would an amendment that seeks to list specific sectors

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, it is always something when the NDP members stand and slander another member of Parliament, whether it is the leader or another member of the official opposition—

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, in general, Conservatives like elements in Bill C-34. However, we believe that the bill does not go far enough. In the spirit of collaboration, Conservatives put forth 14 amendments and only four were agreed to by our colleagues across the way. It is funny, becau

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, there was a lot of stuff in my hon. colleague's intervention. There were a lot of falsehoods. I sit on the health committee with him, and I have a lot of respect for him as he is a family physician and offers a lot of great insight in our health committee. It is
