Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, thepromised the strongest economy in the G7. Instead, Canada is at the bottom. We have the only shrinking economy, the second-highest unemployment, the highest household debt and the worst food inflation in the G7. The Prime Minister cannot hide behind global challenges when every other G7 country faces the exact same pressures. These problems did not appear overnight. [more]

Mr. Speaker, Albertans know that the member lives in an illusion. There are no projects that have been approved by the government and no shovels in the ground. For years, the Liberal government did everything in its power to block pipelines, stall major energy projects and scare off investment, weakening one of Canada's most critical economic drivers, the oil sands. Canadians are now paying the [more]

Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, for most Canadians, my hon. colleague's speech fell flat because it does not actually respond to the problems that we are hearing about. The Liberals are so intent that their answer is the only right answer that they refuse to listen to any other options. Their answer keeps coming back to the fact that our answer is an answer from the past, but the reality is that we [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would argue that this is a very important point of order, and I would recommend that everyone stop to listen. Standing Order 117 says, “The Chair of a standing, special or legislative committee shall maintain order in the committee, deciding all questions of order subject to an appeal to the committee”. C-4 Secondly, a committee chair's ruling on the admissibility of an amendment [more]

Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons C-8 Mr. Speaker, I am rising in response to the point of order raised yesterday by theconcerning certain amendments made by the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security to Bill, concerning cybersecurity and telecommunications. In his intervention, the parliamentary secretary referred to three [more]

Mr. Pelletier, you made a suggestion to provide ongoing support to parents whose sick child has died. Have you already submitted your proposed amendment to the committee? If not, can you provide it to us so that we can look at it?

I want to thank all of the witnesses for sharing and bringing forward some very positive solutions here. Rachel, I find that your experience, especially being a public servant, is really incredibly useful to this committee. I'm just wondering, with the last bit of time I have, if you have any suggestions as to how you think the public service could do things better for employees, how it could do [more]

I have one question. I think this is a great idea. When we are embarking on a study that is clearly about dead children, this should be a conversation we have at the outset. Can the clerks and analysts make a note for the next time we deal with something like this? It is a conversation that should very clearly be at the front end, so people have trauma-informed practices. I believe it would be a [more]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank you, Briana, for coming. Thank you for sharing about Marlow. Thank you for the work you've done with Empty Arms. It's extremely special to take your space of grief and turn it into blessings for families. From one mom to another, I want to tell you that I really appreciate it. I have no idea what you went through. I have no capacity for understanding that, [more]

Thank you.

I want to say that sunshine is the best disinfectant. Most of these things aren't born, or at least in my little rose-coloured-glasses world, out of maliciousness. Most of these failed processes are simply because, frankly, we haven't had enough women sitting at a lot of these tables who have gone through some of these things first-hand. Therefore, they're not necessarily questioning some of [more]
