Mr. Speaker, as the member knows, Canada is in a good position when it comes to its financial rating. We have budgets, so we project what is to come, and we look for ways to balance that. Ultimately, the voters will decide who leads this country. It is our responsibility, as MPs, to hold ourselves accountable by communicating with our community and having people agree or disagree with the [more]

Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his commitment to young people, to families and to education. There is no question that education is the best tool we can use for success and to build a strong Canadian individual and family. That is the best investment, I believe, we can make. C-34 I try every single Friday to go to at least one elementary school. Last week I was at a school, and we [more]

Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to speak today. There are many reasons why MPs decide to run for office and are here today. We have different pathways and different motivations, things that have happened to us in our life that have led us here to the House of Commons. I have said this many times: I believe that every single member of the House has the intention to build a better country, a better [more]

C-226 Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food in relation to Bill, an act to establish a national framework to improve food price transparency. The committee has studied the bill and has decided to report the bill back to the House with amendments.

Mr. Speaker, any question that is about the environment and protecting the spaces around us is a very valid question with a very valid point. If we look at the history of the Liberal Party and the Liberal government with respect to their commitment to the environment, we will not find another political party or government in the history of this country that has done more to protect and embrace [more]

Mr. Speaker, last week, history was made on the Hill as we—

Mr. Speaker, last week, history was made here at the House of Commons as we had the Filipino-Canadian Coalition, representing 19 national organizations from across Canada, from 10 provinces and one territory, come to talk about how to unlock the full potential and talent found within the Filipino community. We know that the Filipino community has pushed so much to build this country economically [more]

Mr. Speaker, it is important for all members of the House to recognize that legislation is important. There is no question that legislation and law set the foundation of the tone and expectation of Canadians, reflected through the members they voted for in the House. This is an important element of our society. When it comes to young people and the home, there is nothing that replaces guardians, [more]

C-36 C-16 C-25 C-34 Madam Speaker, I am a bit confused by both members opposite who spoke on the issues. We have a slew of different bills. We have Bill, we passed Bill, we have Bill, and of course there is Bill, which we are debating today. This a series of bills that really look for ways to protect Canadians when it comes to young people and when it comes to all Canadians. These four bills [more]

C-34 Mr. Speaker, I thought my colleague's intervention was very detailed and a really good analysis of Bill. He mentioned he had the opportunity to talk to people in his community and I want to know if he had the opportunity to speak to any families or young people about the implications of this proposed legislation.

C-34 Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise today in the House of Commons to speak on Billon behalf of the good people of Scarborough—Woburn. C-34 I want to acknowledge that we are having a consultation process on Billon Friday and I want to thank all the participants in advance for agreeing to join that discussion. The times are changing. We have seen, and I have seen, much change over the last [more]
