Mr. Speaker, in our first week back, I am privileged to rise again and present a petition on behalf of residents in the town of Georgina and in Brock township on Lake Simcoe about an invasive species known as water soldier. It was discovered in 2024 in Cook's Bay and has continued to spread across Lake Simcoe. It is a threat to human health and to animal health in the lake, as well as to native [more]

deputy government House leader Mr. Speaker, therattled off some measures that the government undertook. My hon. colleague can explain that we supported those tax cuts for Canadians because we will always support making life more affordable for Canadians and saving them money. As my hon. colleague mentioned, we supported the government in giving it more powers to build things at speeds not seen [more]

Thank you for that. Do you have an assessment or a view on the efficacy of Canada's countertariffs? Are our countertariffs good for business or bad for business? What's your view of them?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to move a motion, but I don't want to take away my colleague's ability to ask questions. I'm happy if he wants to take his two minutes, and then you could come back to me.

Thank you, Madam Chair. As I mentioned, I want to move a motion that I put on notice on April 13 of this year. It's a motion to require the Canada Border Services Agency to provide the committee with a copy of the SIMA handbook. We've had discussions about this before. For those who need a refresher, the SIMA handbook is an administrative guideline for people who interact with Canada's trade [more]

I'm happy to work with Mr. Naqvi on that over the break week. The intention was, now that I've moved the motion and we're running out the clock, for it to be up for continued debate at our next meeting, so hopefully that will put a bit of a fire under me and Mr. Naqvi to figure this out before then. Otherwise, we can vote on it. Regardless of what the CBSA's position is, the committee can compel [more]

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to our witnesses for appearing and providing the committee with valuable testimony. My first questions will be for Ms. Tronnes and perhaps Ms. Exner-Pirot. Ms. Tronnes, I'll start with you. Prime Minister Last October, you were before this committee and gave testimony. At that time, you said that “current uncertainty in the trade market is wreaking havoc on [more]

Thank you.

I'm not going to let him go there and—

Prime Minister He gave a briefing to the.

I challenge the chair's ruling.

You interrupted me, so in theory I still have floor.

I believe you said I had four seconds left, Madam Chair.

Could you just put your reasons on the record for us, please?

Just to clarify, are you saying that the clerks were incorrect to put it on notice as an acceptable motion?
