Foreign Investment  Mr. Speaker, again the Liberals are trying to pull the wool over Canadians' eyes by giving false assurances that all is well with China's takeover of construction giant Aecon. We know this Chinese-run company is rotten with corruption. We also know Aecon is involved with critical

Foreign Investment  That was a non-answer, Mr. Speaker. Let us try again. The Chinese company poised to take over Canadian construction giant Aecon is rampant with corruption and has just been blacklisted by Bangladesh for that very reason. We know Aecon has been awarded numerous sensitive Canadia

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, we do not have lap dogs on this side. We have people who think. Speaking of really important issues, the Liberals are buying rusted-out fighter jets from Australia, even though the defence minister actually said they would never buy used planes. We know these eighti

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, during the election campaign, the government promised that it would have new fighter jets in our country by 2021. Now the announcement today is that we will not see them until at least 2025. That was the Liberals' promise. It had nothing to do with the previous gover

International Human Rights Day  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize International Human Rights Day, which was observed yesterday, December 10. While of course there are numerous examples of human rights abuses that deserve to be highlighted, I would like to emphasize the current human right situation in th

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I want to follow up on that very same question, because in Muskoka and Parry Sound, the number of so-called dropped cases has been amongst the highest in the nation. We have been working very closely with the OPP in Muskoka and Parry Sound, based on a Swedish model

National Defence  Just promises. Mr. Speaker, the documents tabled in the House this week confirm the defence minister does not have any clue how much used Australian jets will cost, when they will be available, and even how many will be available. When the Liberals entered into a blind agreeme

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, that same minister in February said “we will not be buying used aircraft for our air force.” However, defying all expert advice and financial logic, the Liberals will be buying used, rusted-out aircraft from Australia that date back to the 1980s. The Liberals are far

Prevention of Radicalization through Foreign Funding Act  Madam Speaker, I would refer the hon. member to the Senate report. I am afraid I do not have a copy with me for the purpose of this debate, but there was testimony before the Senate, when it was looking at our terror legislation, that indicated some examples in Canada and some co

Prevention of Radicalization through Foreign Funding Act  Madam Speaker, that is correct. I will read a couple more quotes in more detail. The president of the council for Muslims Facing Tomorrow, Raheel Raza said: This bill is a very important and urgent step towards stemming the tide of radicalization that has infiltrated into our

Prevention of Radicalization through Foreign Funding Act  Madam Speaker, indeed, the purpose of the legislation is to fill gaps. For instance, the legislation that is currently in place that is available for CRA targets charitable organizations, but there are many other organizations—educational organizations, not-for-profit organizat

Prevention of Radicalization through Foreign Funding Act  moved that Bill C-371, An Act respecting the prevention of radicalization through foreign funding and making related amendments to the Income Tax Act, be read the second time and referred to a committee. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honour to stand in my place this evening to spe

Air Transportation  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is in reference to question period. I would like to seek unanimous consent to table documents that illustrate what the Leader of the Official Opposition was saying, that in fact there is Liberal culpability on the Phoenix pay fiasco.

Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 2  Madam Speaker, I would like the member to return to the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank for a second. As a former trade minister, the hon. member knows a lot about how these international commercial arrangements in fact work. I find it strange that a government that promise

Transportation Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, we have had a lot of debate in the House already on the bill, which seems to be, and in fact manifestly is, an omnibus bill. It would amend 13 different pieces of legislation. At the same time, the much-vaunted expression to the Canadian people was that this was goin
