Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise on behalf of the people of Richmond Hill South. Petitioners are concerned that, given that traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are regulated health professions providing essential care and pain management in chronic disease, their exclusion from the 2025 federal primary care compendium undermines national health strategies and workforce [more]

Mr. Speaker, after a decade of costly Liberal credit card budgeting, young Canadians are facing more costs, more taxes, more debt, more on the national credit card, and more of the same. Prime Minister Theis just another costly Liberal who has surged youth unemployment beyond recessionary levels. Since 2022, youth unemployment has surged from 12.3% to 18.9%, and young Canadians are remaining [more]

Do I get a full six minutes?

Thanks, Madam Chair. Thank you, Commissioner, for all the work you do in exposing Liberal insider ties to so many of the boondoggles we've seen in the past 11 years. Commissioner, Canadians expect that when major policy decisions are made, especially ones that affect national security and domestic industry, they're made transparently, yet when the Liberal government moved to increase quotas for [more]

Is that a problem, in your view?

Minister of Artificial Intelligence I'm sorry. Did you meet with theabout these breaches, though?

You can't expect everyone to be that honest, to call. There have to be some who slip through the cracks—again, through no fault of yours.

I have one last question. If a senior individual at a lobbying firm or a consulting firm avoids registration by claiming they are providing only strategic advice, while junior registered lobbyists formally conduct communications—like we've seen with multiple former senior Liberal staff, former Liberal MPs and former Liberal ministers—does that undermine the spirit of the Lobbying Act?

Thank you, Madam Chair. It's good to have you back, Commissioner. Commissioner, in a report today, your office confirmed that the CRA reported more than 42,000 material privacy breaches, dating back as far as 2020. Canadians hand over their most sensitive financial information to this Liberal government under the threat of fines and penalties. In your view, does the sheer scale and duration of [more]
