Mr. Speaker, I always thought the role of the media was to hold the powerful accountable and to unapologetically seek the truth. Apparently, however, the CBC views it as trying to deceive and trick individual Canadians into bizarre and intentional traps. A new TV series from the CBC lied and used fictitious production companies, aliases and made-up stories in an effort to dupe Canadians for the [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are outraged to learn that taxpayer dollars went to deceive and lie to individual Canadians, including RCMP veterans. A CBC production used fake websites, fake names and fake companies to lure them into supposed interviews about their lives after retirement, but it was all just a front, a set-up for some sort of twisted humiliation ritual in front of a live studio audience.

Mr. Speaker, members can imagine waking up one morning in beautiful British Columbia. The sun is out. The birds are chirping. We can see the mountains, the forest and, if we are lucky, maybe even the ocean from our home. Life on the surface is actually pretty good, but that scenic reality masks a much deeper and darker anxiety. The title to that home, that deed that was signed however long ago, [more]

Mr. Speaker, the first thing to do is to remove these legal guidelines that have restricted our Crown counsel from defending private property rights with all of the tools in their tool kit. There should be no further agreements or treaties made with first nations without explicit protections for private property embedded within. As far as what comes beyond that, my position, which I believe is [more]

Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member across the way. It does not mention private property, and that is the problem. There are no explicit protections for private property in the agreement and we are currently in a legal scenario. We are in legal limbo as we await the appeal process of the Cowichan decision. As we said, as the Conservative Party, we have demanded that every new agreement, every [more]

Mr. Speaker, the mayor of Richmond is simply stating the facts as they are. The federal government and the provincial government in B.C. failed to make legal arguments to defend private property. That is a fact. However, what may be even more inexcusable is that after that court decision was made, they continued to go out and sign agreements, whether they were treaties in British Columbia or the [more]

Thank you, Chair. We obviously brought this production order up last week. We sat here for about 40 minutes while the government filibustered it. This is a super important issue for thousands of workers in my riding and for first nations chiefs who support aquaculture. It's not even necessarily a question about the industry itself. It's a question about transparency and about what's going to [more]

Thank you, Chair. I'd like to move that the committee proceed to the consideration of my motion regarding the production order on aquaculture.

I just want some clarification on what was just said. Are we now...? Mr. Deschênes and the Liberals don't want to include the term “pinniped” because they want to restrict the study to only talking about the consequences on one coast of Canada but not the other. I'm open for them to clarify, because I feel like when we passed an earlier study about an issue that was mainly affecting the west [more]
