Public Controversies

Lloyd apologized for the video, stating the comments were made in jest during a campus club event and that he regretted his choice of words.

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, I thought that this Liberalwas supposed to be good with money, but they just lost $175 million in less than six months on a failing diamond mine that just sought creditor protection. Young Canadians were promised opportunity, but after a decade of Liberal reckless spending, they are getting fewer jobs and less opportunity. This year, Canada has lost 111,000 full-time
Mr. Speaker, after over a decade of reckless Liberal inflationary spending, young Canadians are falling further behind than ever before. Last month, Canada lost 47,000 full-time jobs, and youth unemployment is up over 14%. That is more than double the national rate. Young Canadians are now more unemployed than at any point in recorded Canadian history. Young people cannot afford rent, they
You're saying no to compensation. Is that correct? Just be clear.
Thank you. I've given you enough time on that, Minister. This report was critical in your government's coming up with the report. It would be very helpful for us, as members of Parliament, to have access to this report. I think it's critical that governments try to build trust with Canadians. I have to admit that what you're doing here, Minister, does not look accountable or transparent,
I'm going to move on, Minister. I was talking to your officials before. There seems to be a contradiction. The legislation says it's not intended to weaken encryption or create systemic vulnerabilities, yet there are other parts of the legislation that say a ministerial order is intended to create the very technical capabilities needed to get through this encryption.

That's a pretty big stakeholder, including many stakeholders that the Government of Canada works with. This is a big concern, so I just I want it clear: If the only way to comply with this legislation is to create systemic vulnerabilities, does the
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. I'm going to start with Mr. McGuire. Something I find contradictory in this bill—maybe you can explain how it's not contradictory—is that you're requiring electronic service providers and telecoms to create the systems to enable the interception of communications within their networks, yet later you say that nothing in this
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the ministers for being here. Minister, you've refused to waive privilege on the report provided by Murray Rankin, on the consultative process in this report. I've been told that this report has been widely shared with people who have participated in the consultation. I'm assuming that those people who have not shared the report have done so because they
I understand what you're saying, which is that the government isn't dictating how the companies are to do it, but it is mandating the companies to do it, and in order to comply, companies may have to create vulnerabilities in their system that can be exploited by hackers. Wouldn't you agree?
Minister, I've given you plenty of time to respond. Why should the stakeholders who participated, such as the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and other stakeholders, have more of a right to see what is in this report than members of Parliament, who are being asked to vote on this legislation?
