Corrections and Conditional Release Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-342, An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (maximum security offenders). Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to rise in my place today to introduce this private member's bill. Over the past several days, Canadians have shared with

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, it is unacceptable that the families of the victims of Paul Bernardo were only informed of his prison transfer after it had taken place. They have every right to be shocked and outraged, but the Minister of Public Safety has absolutely zero excuses, especially when h

Violence Against Pregnant Women Act  Mr. Speaker, again, if you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: that the House call for the immediate return of—

Violence Against Pregnant Women Act  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I guess there was a question in this House earlier about whether the member for Kingston and the Islands supported the motion that I proposed yesterday, so I am going to pose the question again.

Tourism Industry  Madam Speaker, that is an interesting response. Surely our tourism minister knows that travel is a discretionary activity. Adding 41¢ a litre to gas through the first carbon tax will not help. A second Liberal carbon tax of 17¢ will hurt as well. If we add GST to that, we have a

Health Care Staffing Shortages  Madam Speaker, I stand in the House today to add my name to those of residents in Fort Erie and Port Colborne who were shocked and disappointed by the decision of the Niagara health system to reduce the operating hours of the urgent care centres in both communities. What makes th

Business of Supply  Again, Madam Chair, he is not answering the question. Again, according to Niagara Regional Housing, the answer is 12 years. Does the minister know the estimated wait time for a family in Fort Erie who is waiting for a new, affordable four-bedroom unit?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Liberals' programs are failing. Again, according to the Niagara Regional Housing, the answer is eight years. Minister, under the first two streams of the government's rapid housing initiative—

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, under the first two streams of the government's rapid housing initiative, the government committed $2.5 billion to projects. How much money was allocated to construction in the Niagara Region?
