It is not fair to Canadians who are struggling to make ends meet and it makes us uncompetitive

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my constituents in the riding Calgary Nose Hill for giving me a very clear mandate to do one thing: to stand up for them, fight for them and their voice here in this place. I received the mandate of over 70%. I went door to door. People who I know ha

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, anybody who lives in my province and watched that knows what it was. I believe Joe Biden has a tour called “No Malarkey”. He is the parliament secretary to the House leader, and he knows that is garbage. That is tone deafness. The last government was his government

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, more MVNOs will have an impact in Canada. Recent rulings, which could allow for more MVNOs, are being heavily appealed. It is a heated issue, with extensive lobbying being placed on many members of the House. Given the importance of this issue, can the Prime Minist

Foreign Investment  Mr. Speaker, three years ago the Liberals offered up the welfare of residents of British Columbia seniors homes to a Chinese company with no experience in seniors care, perhaps as an offering ahead of a free trade agreement that never happened. Since then, that company has been s

Foreign Investment  Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that neglect, abuse, hygiene issues and everything that has led to this takeover is an action that requires some sort of review under the act that the minister is responsible for. Come on; abdicating responsibility to the provincial government when se

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, when we talk about inequality in Canada, we have to talk about reliable access to fast, affordable Internet. Big telecom has a strangle-hold on the market, with government regulation preventing any meaningful competition or protection for consumers. Every one of us

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, yesterday a government-appointed panel enthusiastically recommended that the government should control what news coverage Canadians should be allowed to see. Under the Liberal plan, the Liberals would be able to force all news sites to prominently link all of their

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, that is the exact type of fake news that the Liberals want these news sites to implement. Between the proposal yesterday, the government's “chosen one” print media bailout fund, and even the minister's mandate letter, which goes so far as to suggest that he should i

Coronavirus  Madam Speaker, this past Sunday a CTV reporter tweeted a photo of himself next to an Asian barber wearing a surgical mask. He has now deleted and apologized for a tweet that read, “Hopefully ALL I got today was a haircut”. Yesterday, walking down the street here in Ottawa, I hea
