National Defence Act  Madam Speaker, of course we support that. I want to come back to something. The Liberal government does not want to admit that it is simply copying Bill C-77. They know full well that is what they are doing. I cannot blame them because that was the thing to do. However, it woul

National Defence Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. It was extremely important. What retired Lieutenant-Colonel Perron said was extremely important.

National Physicians’ Day  Mr. Speaker, as we begin our week, I am pleased to speak to Bill S-248, an act respecting national physicians’ day. My Conservative colleagues and I support this bill.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, our Prime Minister is trying to intimidate our leader with threats of legal action. He wants to beef up his credibility because his lack of leadership is causing the government to make mistakes. He hid the truth from Canadians for weeks, if not months, but now we ha

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, as a result of the Prime Minister's lack of leadership, his government has failed in all the international trade files. Steel and aluminum tariffs still have not been lifted. Compensation is being paid out in dribs and drabs, and let us not forget that the existing s

Justice  Mr. Speaker, there is no end to the Liberals' political interfering and scheming. After politicizing the fighter jet procurement file, they politicized the Navy's procurement projects. If the Liberals have nothing to hide, why will they not provide Vice-Admiral Norman with the d

Regional Economy  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has politicized the fighter jet procurement file. Three and a half years later, nothing is happening. The Liberals' improvisation, political interference and schemes are motivated by their naive and reckless election promise to not buy the F-35

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, Canada's Arctic is a strategic region with immense potential. Yesterday, the U.S. Secretary of State described Canada's claim to the Northwest Passage as “illegitimate”, casting doubt on Canada's Arctic sovereignty. The Liberals lost control over our southern regi

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, every passing day brings new Liberal failures. The conclusions of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute report are scathing. The report found that the Liberal government's decisions around replacing Canada's fighter jets were purely based on reasons of political interest
