Citizenship and Immigration committee  , of course, was deported from Canada 13 years ago because of serious criminal allegations, including human smuggling. He was able to enter Canada again recently due partly to a letter of support from MP Raj Grewal. I understand that your department has promised MP Judy Sgro that you would

Information & Ethics committee   that by combining this activity, the more outreach and education you do, especially for MPs, the more dramatically you will reduce the questions and some of the investigations that you may undertake. Is there an efficiency subset to this process? The more you educate and the more outreach

Information & Ethics committee  Now that you've developed these programs, do you think that the collaboration between your office and the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying will result in more enhanced information and more enhanced tools for new MPs after the next election?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Again, related to the resources allocated to MP support, has the minister, minister's staff or any member of the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship been requested to provide documents to the RCMP in relation to the investigation related to MP Raj Grewal?

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2   about real Canadians who are suffering profound difficulties. I have spoken in the House about John, a senior who has ended up homeless and is in a homeless shelter now because of the lack of affordable housing in the country. I have talked about Heather. I have talked about Raj

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. I find it interesting to note that on this line of questions, my colleagues from the Liberal Party have voted against the minister being sworn in under oath. We will go back to the resources that are allocated as part of the supplementary estimates for MP support. I

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, major ethical lapses are a hallmark of the Liberal government. Today, we learned that Raj Grewal, the former member for Brampton East, has been under RCMP investigation for months in connection with millions of dollars in gambling activity using suspect funds

Information & Ethics committee  I'd like to share my time with MP Erskine-Smith.

Health committee  Good morning. Thank you for inviting us to be here to present to your committee. I'd first like to thank MP Raj Saini for all the incredible work that he and his office have done to bring this study to light. I really appreciate it. It's many years that I've been working

Export and Import Permits Act  Mr. Speaker, I have had an opportunity to serve with the member on committee now for a year and to travel with him, and I can say that he is a very good guy. However, the speech was a bit shaky. Let me remind him, because I know he is a new MP like me, and give him a little

Finance committee   to you more, and do you guys have initiatives to help entrepreneurs in the north to access your funds or know about your programs? Even in our MPs' offices, we don't have any material on BDC. I think it would be a value-add across party lines to help people when they come in. Maybe

Information & Ethics committee  I have in front of me testimony from Brittany Kaiser who was the former director of program development at Cambridge Analytica, and this is the testimony she gave in the House of Commons committee. MP Ian C. Lucas asked her, “Did you know that Cambridge Analytica had

Information & Ethics committee  Then MP Lucas on a follow-up says, “Can you confirm that Cambridge Analytica transferred data to AIQ?” Her answer was: ...the essential relationship between AIQ and Cambridge Analytica—or the SCL group—was that AIQ had built platforms that we used to collect data, so we

Finance committee   really change a child's life. The reason I am an MP is in large part because I had access to post-secondary education. At the same time, I also had access to government grants and loans, but I still have student debt as an MP, and that gives me a unique perspective. We're really

Information & Ethics committee  I have a couple of specific questions regarding the report and a couple of general questions. As a new MP, I would like to explore the question of friendship a little bit more broadly. Referring to page 30 of your report, you lay out the test that must be applied when
