Public Controversies
In 2017, Sherry Romanado publicly accused then-Conservative MP James Bezan of making inappropriate comments to her at a public event. Bezan issued a public apology for what he described as "inappropriate and insensitive" remarks. An independent investigation by the House of Commons' chief human resources officer later concluded that the comments were not of a sexual nature. The investigator found that Bezan's apology was a sufficient resolution to the complaint.

Madam Speaker, Nova Scotia has over 14,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces and defence families. It is the number three province in terms of the population of our defence community. Nova Scotia has been punching above its weight in terms of the defence industry.

Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, four Canadian soldiers tragically lost their lives at CFB Wainwright: Sergeant Morgan Wong, Private Shaun Farrell, Private Aidan Goulding and Private Hayden Lykkemark. Four lives and four families are forever changed. Across Canada, military families watched the news, desperately waiting for a call or a message of just four words: “I am okay, mom.” For some, that
Mr. Speaker, before I get to my question, I want to highlight that today is the difficult anniversary of the death of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed back in 2014. Our thoughts are with his family today. The member opposite talked about a couple of things. He asked about the Canadian Coast Guard and the capabilities it brings to the Department of National Defence. One of those

There is $750 million for a new chemical and biological laboratory at Suffield. There is $550 million to
Mr. Speaker, it is very obvious that the member opposite does not want to talk about his lack of support for the Canadian Armed Forces. Every single time we have brought forward defence spending at committee, the Conservative Party has voted against it. Mr. Speaker, in budget 2025, we invested more than $81 billion in defence over the next five years. We have met the NATO target of 2% five years
