C-9 Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of a Conservative petition regarding the flawed amendments the Bloc and the Liberals are proposing to Bill. If passed, it would put the religious freedoms of Canadians in jeopardy. My residents of Abbotsford—South Langley have voiced their concern regarding this development and how it may restrict their freedoms. As our Canadian Charter of Rights and [more]

Mr. Speaker, I have a second petition. I rise today on behalf of petitioners of Abbotsford—South Langley to highlight an important issue affecting the growth and safety of local athletes. The lack of adequate training facilities for the home Wolverines Field Hockey Club limits development, compromises safety and restricts competitive opportunities. Therefore, the petitioners call on the [more]

Thank you, Chair. Thank you to all the witnesses who are here today. It's always a pleasure to work together to make sure that we can serve all Canadians of this great nation.

I have a border crossing in Abbotsford. I have another border crossing within Aldergrove, and right next to my riding is Surrey, where there's another border crossing touching our Langley-Surrey border entry. I've [more]

Mr. Speaker, April brings several holidays across Canada, each with its own traditions. For Christians, it is time to reflect on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope it represents. For many Canadians, Easter is also a chance to spend time with family, enjoy the arrival of spring and, for kids, maybe a bit too much chocolate from the Easter bunny. For Jewish families, Passover is a time [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canada cannot control what happens abroad, but the Liberals do control the policies here at home that are making life more expensive. Under the Liberals, Canada tops the G7 in food inflation and is the only shrinking economy. The most vulnerable Canadians are the ones who are left to pay the price. Prime Minister One in five Canadians over 50 are now living in conditions comparable [more]
