Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, this is an example of the petty, gut-wrenching politics the Liberals partake in. All they do is deflect and divide. That is what they are good at. If anybody listened to my speech, I posed a lot of questions, because that is what debate is for. Debate is for hearing

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, we know that improving labour relations should be the ultimate goal of any government. It is better for workers, employers, the economy and all Canadians. However, the current labour climate suggests that we are moving in another direction. Across the country, we are

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, we know that Bill C-318, which would amend EI and the Labour Code for adoptive and intended parents to give them time to attach, needs royal recommendation. I am presenting a petition today in which citizens and residents of Canada call upon the Government of Canada

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the most expensive government in our history, it is Canadians who are suffering the real world consequences. There are now a record number of Canadians who are using food banks. Housing costs have doubled. Canadians are reportedly cutting back

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Were you able to communicate with him regularly, or was there a lag in communication from that initial time?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  I can't even put the words to that. I think you really speak to the determination of a mom to be reunited. It is just so wonderful. I understand that you travelled to be reunited. Do you feel comfortable in speaking about some of the fears you had when travelling?

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much for sharing that. I know that my time is running out, but I just want to say to Vladyslav—he doesn't have his headpiece on right now—that you are very courageous and you are very loved. I am so glad to hear of your reunification story with your mother. You a

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to thank each of our witnesses, not only for being willing to share their stories today but also for their resilience and for bravery in coming forward to expose the realities of the war in Ukraine. I want to thank you so much for that.

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to usage of the government's fleet of Challenger aircraft, since May 1, 2023: what are the details of the legs of each flight, including the (i) date, (ii) point of departure, (iii) destination, (iv) number of passengers, (v) names and titles of the passengers, exclud

Petitions  Madam Speaker, November is Adoption and Permanency Education Month. With that in mind, I am honoured to take this opportunity to present a petition from Canadians who are calling on the Liberal government to provide a royal recommendation for my private member's bill, Bill C-318.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I oppose the government's taxing Canadians literally to death, and that is what the government is doing. The member across the way is very proud to be doing it. I totally support cutting the carbon tax, not just carbon tax 1.0 but also carbon tax 2.0. I have seen the

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague wanted to dismiss the carbon tax. In my province, we can see the federal carbon tax written on our electricity bills and gas bills. To say that it may not be affecting our constituents, Canadians, I do not believe is true. I believe we need to axe the ca

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am not sure whether the member did not hear me, but I am for cutting taxes for Canadians so they have more of their own money in their own pockets to spend on their own families. Why is it for the government to tell families how and where to spend their money?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, off the top, I note that I will be splitting my time with my colleague, the member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier. The policies and decisions of government have real-life impacts on Canadians. Unfortunately, in the case of the NDP-Liberal coalition, that impact has be
