Public Controversies
Dan Mazier sponsored a private member's bill, Bill C-288, which proposed changes to the Telecommunications Act. The bill faced criticism from digital rights organizations and academics who argued that its provisions could weaken net neutrality in Canada. Opponents suggested the bill could allow internet service providers to block or slow down access to websites accused of copyright infringement without sufficient oversight. Mazier and his supporters defended the bill as a necessary tool to protect Canadian creators from online piracy.

Madam Speaker, I referred to it in my speech. There are still so many unknowns, especially when it comes to labour. If the track record is any indication of how the Liberals are going to perform in the future, my God, we have a long way to go. It is absolutely ridiculous how many labour disruptions we have had under this Liberal regime. Hopefully, the member will stand in unison with us when we
Madam Speaker, I support predictability and stability, and that could mean locking them in. Ironically, when I was president at KAP, the main file that I worked on was interswitching. One thing I could not get over was that there was always the issue of the railways and trying to find a balance between the railways, the shippers and the people trying to do business with the railways. As for
Madam Speaker, the hon. member referred to the culture of transparency. Sadly, the Liberal government defaults to secrecy and non-transparency. I know the member and I experienced and witnessed that when the Liberals had a manufactured majority. All of a sudden at the health committee, they shut off the cameras, shut down discussions and went into secretive mode because they could. If this is any
Mr. Speaker, before I begin, I want to send congratulations to my son and daughter-in-law Melody on the birth of their first son and our first grandson. I am happy to report that mom and baby are home and everybody is healthy. I love them lots and look forward to meeting Evan this weekend. Prime Minister C-5 Mr. Speaker, over a year ago, thepromised that Bill, the one Canadian economy act, and
Mr. Speaker, the cost of the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal just went up again. Conservatives have obtained the termination letter sent to Michael Green, the disgraced CEO in charge of the Liberals' PrescribeIT failure. According to the letter, Mr. Green was awarded a million-dollar severance package, including another massive performance bonus. The million-dollar package was approved by Canada
Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the Toronto Star has revealed that the's buy Canadian promise was a complete sham. Prime Minister After thewalked away from trade negotiations with the U.S., he claimed that his government would be Canada's own best customer, yet within the Prime Minister's first 16 months in office, the Liberals increased Canada's reliance on American suppliers. In fact, they awarded
Mr. Speaker, the taxpayer-funded CEO in charge of the $300-million PrescribeIT failure is suing Canada Health Infoway for $3 million in damages after he was fired. Buried in the lawsuit is a very damning allegation. Michael Green claims that his firing “was timed in order to prevent his further testimony” before the health committee. health minister In May, the Liberalsaid in the House of
Mr. Speaker, my question was not the same as it was two weeks ago. The taxpayer-funded CEO who was in charge of the $300-million PrescribeIT failure is suing Canada Health Infoway. He claims that he was fired to prevent him from testifying at the health committee. health minister Did the Liberalhave any role in terminating the PrescribeIT CEO, yes or no?
Mr. Speaker, the Liberals did not answer my question. He was going on about an auditor trail. He did not answer my question. My question was about a severance package awarded to the CEO who oversaw the $300-million PrescribeIT failure. health minister The's very own official is on Canada Health Infoway's board. My question was simple: Did the health minister's representative vote in favour of
Mr. Speaker, the former CEO of Canada Health Infoway, Michael Green, was fired after the Conservatives exposed his role in the $300-million PrescribeIT scandal. We have since obtained his termination letter. That termination letter granted Mr. Green a massive severance package that included a full year of salary and benefits, months of pension contributions, months of car allowance, vacation pay,
Okay. Let's make sure we have this right as a committee. The federal government says it won't fix the Amherst armoury. The roof leaks for years—not just a little bit, but for years. Water gets in. Then Ottawa closes Amherst armoury because of mould. Is that an accurate summary?
Ms. Smith-McCrossin, in April 2024 the Liberal government listed Amherst armoury in the federal budget as a property with potential for housing. It's been years since the announcement. Since then, has anything happened?
Thank you, Chair. Welcome, guests. Ms. Smith-McCrossin, I have the letter here that you were referring to earlier from the federal government. It's dated June 27, 2017, and it was signed on behalf of the Liberal defence minister at the time. It was sent to a local veteran, Mr. Russell Clarke, who wrote to the minister about the future of the Amherst armoury. The letter states, “critical
I'll just bring you back to the line of questioning. Obviously, this has a legacy. Even the work done in the 1990s was not up to par. Meanwhile, they gave you notice in 2017. There were no more repairs. They were just going to watch it rot. As a follow-up, they never did fix the leak into the barrel. Is that right?
In 2026, the Liberal MP for Cumberland—Colchester introduced a motion not to fix the armoury or to reopen it but to hold a study. That's exactly why we're here today. When this study wraps up, it will lead to a report. Earlier this week, the Liberal MP who sponsored this study stated that she hopes the study will lead to—be ready—“the creation of a framework”. How very action-oriented. We have a
You and your local veterans reported water coming through the roof into a steel drum that was overflowing. Did the federal government ever fix that?
