C-218 Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by Nipissing—Timiskaming residents who wish to draw the attention of the House to Bill. The petitioners express concern regarding proposed amendments that may affect eligibility criteria and existing safeguards as they relate to the protection of vulnerable persons, particularly those suffering from mental illnesses. Accordingly, the [more]

I'm interested in understanding more about the security information and event management solution. Can you describe that further?

Mar 12, 2026

Thank you. That's it.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was delighted to learn today about how you are reaching out to communities and to municipalities through the Canada Post modernization project. I find that to be a very positive step forward. We've heard from mayors in some of our meetings that this is going on. I find that very important. I was also delighted by my colleague's line of questioning on red tape and to [more]
