National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, my understanding is that the amendment we proposed at committee would have allowed for a takeover by any foreign hostile country to be reviewed immediately. That would have been looked at. It is again the whole notion of removing the mandatory cabinet review on na

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I agree with the member's comments. On this side of the House, we are disappointed in the government for bringing forward time allocation. There are chances to improve this legislation. We put 14 amendments forward, and only four were accepted. We still have conce

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I rise today to take part in the debate on Bill C-34, an act to amend the Investment Canada Act. Bill C-34 attempts to update and strengthen the Investment Canada Act through seven significant amendments. Mainly, these changes to the act aim to protect Canada's nat

If we go back to the study we undertook, we were the first committee to undertake a study on this. The first recommendation asked, “That the Government of Canada ensure the safety

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, it was an absolute shame to see what was happening at Canadian borders. We were essentially driving people to airports such as Buffalo. I questioned the previous minister and jokingly said the Buffalo chamber of commerce was going to hold a parade for him because o

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time with my colleague, the member for Calgary Midnapore. A lot happened during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, which stretched over three years, from 2020 to 2022. It was a time when the Liberal government tried to give itself full spendin

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I take issue with my colleague's comments on our role as the opposition. In fact, I called for, at the international trade committee, the study of ArriveCAN in the winter of 2022. That is why we are here today. It is because of the negative impacts that applicatio

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month  Mr. Speaker, September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
