Organ Donation  Mr. Speaker, as Sikh Heritage Month celebrations continue all April, Vaisakhi night at BC Place Stadium was packed, with amazing performances by anthem singer Juggy Bajwa, legendary singer Jazzy B, and, finally, our Whitecaps beating Toronto FC 4:nil. Before the match, I had th

Ray Sawada  Mr. Speaker, recently the Richmond Sockeyes Junior Hockey Club honoured a local hero as they retired the jersey of Ray Sawada, who passed away at the age of 38 while playing a recreational hockey game earlier this year. Ray Sawada played junior hockey for the Richmond Sockeyes f

Government Operations committee  Actually, it was the social media study that we're doing to protect Canadians and future generations against misinformation and disinformation domestically—

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I welcome the member's question, but I am a little confused by the thought of incoherence. If we were to look at our investments in the national supply chain corridor alone, we would be looking at solutions for those issues. I am a little confused by the question.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I welcome that question. I think that every member in the House, across the aisle, are getting a little tired of some of the procedural games that are taking place not only here in this House but also in our committees. If we look at the collaboration needed to mov

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am glad the member enjoyed my speech. I was talking about relief for farmers and all the measures we have already exempted, such as gas and diesel for farm use from pollution pricing, and all the measures we have already taken to help the farming community. Bein

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as the opposition is aware, Canadians across the country are facing more and more dramatic impacts from climate change, and farmers are on the front line of all the challenges.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I am surprised. I spoke about transparency and accountability, the ability to bring complaints forward, to look at measures and bring arguments forward in a clear way. I have heard from agriculture producers. They have looked at measures in the bill that could imp

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, there is always more work to be done. We need to continue to chip away at this, and that is what this bill would do.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for St. Catharines. I want to begin by acknowledging that we are gathered today on the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin and Anishinabe peoples.

Buckam Singh  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, I joined friends and colleagues from the House for a remembrance ceremony at Mount Hope Cemetery in the Waterloo region to commemorate the service of Private Buckam Singh. His grave is one of the only resting places of a Sikh Canadian soldier from World Wa

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Before I go to Ms. Romanado, I just wanted to say that it goes beyond just China. We're seeing that precedent may have been set in allowing foreign agents to do some work here. We're seeing other communities being affected as well. I'll just say that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I will. I'll ask a quick question, and then I'll be sharing some time with my colleague Ms. Romanado. Thank you, Mr. O'Toole, for joining us today. It's good to hear that there is life after politics. I'll be looking forward to that at some point. To Mr
