Mr. Speaker, it is week three of Liberal obstruction at the health committee on the $300-million prescribeIT scandal. The Liberals are desperately shielding their buddies and covering up a decade-long disaster of failed programs that did not fill prescriptions but padded the pockets of Liberal insiders. Now the Liberals want to reward failure by giving Canada Health Infoway even more cash to [more]

C-265 Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill, an act to amend the Food and Drug Act with respect to a list of therapeutic products pre-approved for special access. I want to start by telling the House about a child. Let us call her Emma. She is a seven-year-old girl diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder that has no approved treatment available in Canada, yet her physician knew exactly [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his work on this private member's bill. It is very important work.

We will not stop demanding [more]

Madam Speaker, all week at the health committee, Liberals tried to block and silence Conservatives from getting answers on the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal. They have no problems shutting down debate, covering up and protecting Liberal insiders who got rich off the backs of Canadians. I guess this is the new normal that Liberals always wanted, but Conservatives will never stop asking these [more]

C-275, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (sexual assault material) moved for leave to introduce Bill. He said: Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce Melanie's law, my first private member's bill, to bring justice for victims of sexual assault. The inspiration for the bill unfortunately arises from a feeling of dread. When a resident of Red Deer, someone I consider a friend, reached out to tell [more]
