Business & Financial Interests
Dan Mazier has a background in both agriculture and telecommunications. Before being elected to Parliament, he owned and operated a grain farm in Justice, Manitoba. He was also heavily involved in agricultural advocacy, serving as the president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, which is Manitoba's largest general farm lobby organization. He also served as a vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. In addition to farming, Mazier reportedly founded and operated a telecommunications company focused on providing high-speed internet services to rural communities in western Manitoba. This experience has informed his work in Parliament, where he has focused on issues related to rural connectivity.
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.

Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Liberal chair of the health committee suspended the meeting, with the cameras off, blocking emergency meetings from being held in public over the summer. Today, he cancelled the final health committee meeting entirely. This is a blatant abuse of power to shut the health committee down and block an investigation into the $300‑million PrescribeIT scandal. Conservatives
Mr. Speaker, before I begin, I want to take a moment to thank a couple of people who have been part of my office this session and who will be moving on shortly. First I want to recognize Oliver Batchilder, who has been with my office as an intern through the parliamentary internship program. Oliver is sharp, diligent and very hard-working. In fact, I have told him he works harder than most
Mr. Speaker, it is always an honour to present a petition on behalf of constituents. I rise, for the 14th time, on behalf of the people of Dauphin, Manitoba, to present a petition on the rising rate of crime. Residents of Dauphin and the Parkland region are demanding that the Liberal government repeal its soft-on-crime policies that have fuelled a surge in crime throughout their communities.
S-201 Mr. Speaker, I would like to speak today about Bill, an act respecting a national framework on sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is a devastating inherited blood disorder. It causes chronic pain, organ damage, serious infections and a shortened life expectancy. Our best estimates suggest that 6,000 Canadians are living with sickle cell disease right now. I say “estimates”
Was it a failure, then?
Are you aware of Canada Health Infoway?
Is it PrescribeIT?
Yes, that's even worse. There are 74,000 people who have been asked to leave our country, but they're still eligible to get health benefits that are even better than those for the average Canadian.
