Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about helping others, helping Canadians and helping people in his riding. The Conservatives are saying that they are standing up for people, but when I presented a PMB in this room to create a school food program, the Conservatives voted against it. Can my colleague tell me how this helps kids in schools in his riding? I know he visited some of them, just like I
Mr. Speaker, I have had the opportunity to welcome the Minister of Finance to my riding a few times already, and I know that he has seen all the benefits that our programs have delivered for families since we were both first elected in 2015. Earlier, I heard Conservative members say that they would stand up for Canadians. However, when it came time to do so, for example on the Canada child
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to some fabulous artists from my riding of Acadie—Bathurst. First, there is La Famille LeBlanc, a family of extraordinarily talented musicians who just won the Francophone Acadian artist of the year award at the East Coast Music Awards. For years, this family has been generously sharing the traditional Acadian music that brings generations closer together
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a great deal of respect for my colleague Mr. Gunn, and I fully understand the concerns he has just outlined, but what I find a little bit disappointing about all this is that, in my humble opinion, he's trying to undermine years of official consultation and concrete work on aquaculture and wild salmon by requesting documents related to a report that has not yet been
Are we using the same line, Mr. Chair, for the in camera meeting?
Okay. I'm sorry. (Motion agreed to: yeas 9; nays 0)
Madam Chair, for the people watching at home, I want to comment on the remarks by Mr. Arnold and Mr. Small. The original motion by Mr. Deschênes basically said that we should invite representatives from Fisheries and Ocean Canada. These are the officials they want to hear from. When those officials are in the room, the opposition will be able to ask all of the questions they want of them about
It's maybe the second part, having an hour or two hours, that I do not agree with. It would take time away from the witnesses we want to hear from and it would take time away from Mr. Deschênes' witnesses as well. It's just the part about having one or two hours to review the report that I'm not agreeing with
No, Madam Chair. I want to make it clear that we do not agree to having one more meeting or hearing on another study's report. It's taking time away from what we actually want to do. I think Mr. Deschênes wants more witnesses to come to this committee to share about the problem with the seal situation. I disagree with this part of Mr. Small's amendment.
Madam Chair, I would just like to simplify this for everybody. If I'm not getting it right, Mr. Deschênes, please help me with this. When I look at the amendment by Mr. Small, the only thing we are not agreeing to is the new paragraph: “(e) one hour is dedicated to reviewing the progress made on the recommendations from committee's December...Report”, etc. Mr. Deschênes, do you agree with the
