Mr. Speaker, families in Richmond Centre—Marpole are concerned. With just days before the October 29 deadline to appeal the B.C. Supreme Court's ruling on drug trafficking, the Liberal government still owes Canadians an answer. What are they waiting for, the Public Prosecution Service? The tail should not wag the dog. The Attorney General has the authority to direct an appeal. Will the Liberals [more]

Madam Speaker, two weeks ago, I asked whether the Liberals would appeal the B.C. Supreme Court ruling striking down the prohibition on possessing drugs for trafficking. They hide behind the Public Prosecution Service. The October 29 deadline is approaching, yet there is still no answer. Attorney General Families in Richmond Centre—Marpole are concerned and want to ask if thewill use his [more]

C-289 Mr. Speaker, the B.C. Supreme Court struck down a law that would make drug dealing even more legal across Canada. Canadians need protection from traffickers flooding our communities with deadly drugs. Our Conservative plan, alongside Bill, would toughen penalties for serious fentanyl traffickers and save lives. Will the Liberal government appeal the ruling and support the legislation that [more]

Mr. Chair, I'm in favour of this motion because this matter is a very sensitive one for the Chinese-Canadian community. When something like this happens, it usually, and unfairly, gives Asian faces a bad name, but these instances are also allowed to happen when those responsible are not doing their jobs. The actions of a few should not cast a shadow over an entire community, especially when [more]

Thank you very much. I have a question for Mr. Kwon. We know that we have a very high concentration of attention in southeast Asia, the ASEAN countries and perhaps in Europe as well. Are we ignoring some other parts of the world that might have a high demand for our clean energy, for example, Taiwan? We talked about Taiwan earlier. What is our approach to a place such as Taiwan? You are talking [more]

Do you know if Indonesia has approved the FTA or not?

Thank you very much. I have some questions about the free trade agreements. I was in Southeast Asia this summer visiting several countries and trying to learn about our trade expansion. I also attended the CPTPP senior officials' dialogue in Vietnam. They talked a lot about free trade agreements. However, I also learned that very often, those free trade agreements are not necessarily [more]

What I'm trying to say is that having an FTA is good, but it doesn't mean that we are really benefiting from FTAs, for now.

Thank you very much. Mr. Mahon, I have questions for you. I think you've raised a very interesting point in saying that China should be able to help us in the area of critical minerals and the processing techniques. I have a twofold question. The first part is that the Chinese are competitors. Why should they come to help us? We know that in every kind of co-operation there is give-and-take. [more]

To follow, I would like to ask whether you have seen any progress in Canada securing sovereign IP or in even more control of our own exports of nuclear energy? The U.S. has some authority over us. Is that right? They have some constraints on us to export nuclear energy. Have you seen progress in that respect?

I want to shift the focus a little bit. Canada wants to become a major nuclear exporter again, but countries like China can offer a foreign customer not just a reactor design but also financing, engineering, construction and a domestic supply chain as one package. Can Canada realistically compete with that model? What would government and industry have to do differently to make CANDU exports [more]

Thank you. I want to ask Mr. Keefer a few questions. You have been warning that the loss of nuclear sovereignty is a serious problem for Canada. In January 2024, you even said that Canada risks performing low-value assembly while the U.S. retains high-value engineering design and export control. Since then, have you seen any progress or improvement on this front?

This is exactly my concern. I think people perhaps do not appreciate the competition in southeast Asia. In that case, if we are just concentrating on the so-called hot areas—you mentioned the Philippines and Indonesia—there are just talks. Again, my concern is this: Are we ignoring some parts of the world that would be potentials?

You said there are three remaining. When was the last one fully implemented?

It's not yet approved.

Okay. I'll give them up.
