Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Saanich—Gulf Islands for her comment, and I also appreciate her passion for supporting the families of victims.

moved that the bill, as amended, be concurred in.

C-31 Mr. Speaker, let me begin with a word about fog. Storms can be dangerous at sea, but fog can be just as deadly, and sometimes even worse. In a fog, one cannot see the shore and other ships. Let us explore Bill, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget, specifically division 16. At more than 330 pages, a bill this size is its own fog bank. Lost inside it is division 16, [more]

Mr. Speaker, the government announced $9.2 billion over 13 years for ammunition. That only buys about 7,800 artillery shells a month, if nothing else is purchased. In Ukraine, they are firing about 180,000 a month. At this rate, it will take years to meet our NATO stockpile requirements. minister My question was about the requirement, not history. Thefailed to answer my question, so I will ask [more]

Mr. Speaker, I thank every member who has spoken on this bill today and over the many times it has come before this House in earlier Parliaments and at committee. I thank the member opposite from the Liberal Party for his detailed and passionate analysis where he pointed out the many safeguards that are built into this bill to protect against the challenges that the member from the Bloc [more]

moved that the bill be read the third time and passed. C-235 He said: Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the great people of Cowichan—Malahat—Langford on beautiful Vancouver Island. It is my honour to address Bill, the respecting families of murdered and brutalized persons act, at third reading, not because it is my private member's bill, but because of all those who have been a part of this [more]

Mr. Speaker, as far as I can tell, and the experts have looked at it, the courts agreed that the provision of the Bissonnette case was unconstitutional because the trial judge's remedy to set discretion at 40 years was too intrusive, but that was struck down because they were stacked upon each other. This will potentially face a charter challenge, but the way that it was built with the floor of [more]

respecting families of murdered and brutalized persons act Mr. Speaker, I ask that my private member's bill,, do now pass.

C-40 Mr. Speaker, my colleague made an excellent point. As I said in my speech on Bill, it is as if the government is building an oligarchy. There should be accountability. There should be a way to bring forward challenges to the ombudsperson. C-40 Absolutely, I agree with him. This bill, soon to be replaced by Bill, has a complete lack of accountability back to Parliament.

Mr. Speaker, Montreal and Vancouver are not part of the Defence Investment Agency. I am not sure what the member is talking about. As far as the fog goes, the Liberals say they have a plan, but their plan is slogans. I have laid out very clearly that they are failing on the defence and sovereignty of Canada, and I also laid out some steps. I must remind the member opposite that the Liberals are [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General confirmed critical ammunition shortages and NATO ammunition requirements not met. The Minister of National Defence told Canadians, “we have progress to make, and we're making it.” Well, I have heard of our soldiers on the front lines in Latvia going on patrol with no ammunition in their rifles, backed by only a few days of artillery shells should tensions erupt. [more]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the passion he has brought to this bill, for the amazing work and support he has given me and for his kind words today. The member mentioned the Olson case. It has been proven that these most heinous criminals get off on further victimizing the victims' families. We know these types of criminals are never released by the parole boards, and going forward, we [more]

Mr. Speaker, fortunately, I am not really concerned about what the member opposite thinks is right or wrong. I suggest that he read the bill closely with a lens of accountability. He will find that there is a lack of accountability there. C-40 Despite what spin the member decides to put on the bill, I have read it closely. I understand the industry and understand defence procurement, and this [more]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent work in this House. He asks what Canadians have to show for them. Well, there are some projects that are signed, and some are going to be completed and delivered, but they are few and far between. While I remain loyal to this country, it is my job to ask challenging questions. I know it is uncomfortable for the members opposite, because they [more]

Mr. Speaker, in 1925, the Commissionaires were founded on one commitment: that those who served Canada would come home and not be forgotten. Today, it is the largest private sector employer of veterans in Canada, standing watch at federal buildings across the country. Minister of Veterans Affairs This year, that commitment was betrayed. With the single stroke of a pen, theended the right of [more]

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of our motion on federal procurement. I rise to speak about our flag and the Canadians who fought under it. I rise for the veterans of Cowichan—Malahat—Langford on Vancouver Island. I rise for the commissionaires who stand watch at our federal buildings. I rise for all the families who have been handed a folded flag. I served under that flag for 28 years. I [more]

Mr. Speaker, the homelessness of veterans is a horrible crisis this country faces. In fact, I was just at a home for veterans in Ottawa serving Thanksgiving dinner to them not too long ago. If the government was running the economy the way it pretends it does and was giving and protecting veterans' jobs, that would not be necessary. Our veterans would have jobs, would be working for the [more]
