Madam Speaker, it is quite clear that the Liberals have run out of arguments. They have been demonstrated to be wrong. What they are doing is not consistent with exactly what the law clerk for the House of Commons has said. Since the member is not able to engage in a debate worthy of this place, I have nothing further to add.

Mr. Speaker, it is a real pleasure to have the opportunity to rise in the House and to be recognized by the Chair. The circumstances, though, are unfortunate. We are talking about a $400-million scandal, over 186 conflicts of interest and a lawful order from the majority of democratically elected members of Parliament, passed in the House, ordering the NDP-Liberals to hand over to the RCMP the doc…

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Employment has said there is more than one Randy, and I maintain that I was referring to the other Randy as cocaine Randy.

Mr. Speaker, I am glad the minister showed up for work, but she must have been late enough to not hear our statement, in which we of course expressed our support for Ukraine. Let us focus on the facts. The facts are that the Liberals' cabinet colleague is involved with cocaine traffickers and that their cabinet colleague is pretending to be indigenous in order to disenfranchise indigenous-owned co…

Mr. Speaker, to get government contracts, the Liberal minister from Edmonton said that he was indigenous, but he is not. He said that he was not the Randy who was involved in the ongoing operations of the company that was applying for government contracts, but text messages show that he was. He also said he was not directing his company from the cabinet table, but we now know that is not true. The…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister's Liberal minister from Alberta has said a lot of things, but we know he is a fake and a fraud. He said that he was not the Randy involved in the company in question in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fraud cases that are now before the courts. He said he was not involved with the company while he was in cabinet, but of course now there is evidence that is not t…

Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable that with the cocaine connections to the Liberal minister from Alberta, the Liberals and the Prime Minister want to allow him to continue to be in cabinet. The minister said he was indigenous to try to steal contracts from individuals who are indigenous. That is okay as long as someone is a Liberal. The company is involved in more than half a dozen lawsuits because …

Withdrawing the previous words, Mr. Speaker, we will talk about the Liberal minister from Alberta who has been implicated, in media reports, in fraud. Some of them he has even apologized for. He misrepresented his identity, claiming to be indigenous, trying to steal contracts from people who are in fact indigenous. The same minister said that he was not the Randy at his own company. We know that t…

Mr. Speaker, it is hard to imagine how the Liberals and their NDP counterparts can defend the Prime Minister and the Liberal minister from Edmonton, when he had to come out and apologize now that he has been caught for misrepresenting himself as being indigenous when he is not, and for being involved in a business that is facing fraud allegations and is under investigation for arson. It is just un…

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are rightly disappointed, especially those who voted for the NDP, to see the NDP members supporting and voting for a Prime Minister and a Liberal Party that have attacked workers. It is really shameful and I understand why they are so upset. The NDP members must be taking marching orders from their leadership to support a Prime Minister, to support a Liberal Party that is at…

Mr. Speaker, why does the Liberal member keep standing up and defending the indefensible? He is defending a member of his caucus, a member of cabinet, who came before committee and said one thing when the other thing was actually true. He said he was indigenous in order to win government contracts, but it was not true. His business is sharing business resources with cocaine traffickers. That is wh…

Mr. Speaker, this issue is incredibly important. This is why the ethics committee has called for that Liberal minister from Edmonton to come back before the ethics committee to see if we can get a third version of his truth, or maybe get to the facts of the matter. It is a real problem when we have a minister come before a parliamentary committee and we have to bring them back because we have lear…

Madam Speaker, I appreciate the thoughtful speech by my colleague from Lakeland. I would be interested in her insights and perspective on the message the government is sending to Canadians. It is punishing them with its carbon tax on everything, while the Prime Minister jet-sets across the country for vacations and photo ops, and does nothing to help Canadians who are struggling just to feed thems…

Mr. Speaker, Canadians cannot believe a word from the Liberals when it comes to this scandal. We know that the cabinet minister was sitting around the table while his company was applying for federal government contracts, and we know that his business lied before a parliamentary committee, but there is more explosive reporting today about the Liberal minister from Edmonton and his company fraudule…

Mr. Speaker, revelations in court filings show that there is another lawsuit against the Liberal minister from Edmonton showing that he broke the law. This one shows his shady company and his business partner, and now the minister has been directly named in a lawsuit in their search for buyers. A text message says that they are going to sell this and reports updating Felix and Randy. Another asks …

Mr. Speaker, I am delighted that, as the member for Kingston and the Islands pointed out, my remarks have drawn the attention of the minister.

Mr. Speaker, the truth hurts for these Liberals, who are so corrupt. The member might be one of the dozens of Liberal MPs who do not support their own Prime Minister. The Prime Minister broke the law twice. Multiple ministers also broke the law.

Mr. Speaker, these economic vandals bought a $9-million condo in Manhattan for the Prime Minister's buddy, and they are subsidizing his rent to the tune of $40,000 per month after doubling rents for Canadians, doubling mortgages, and presiding over a country for nine years that has homeless encampments springing up under bridges in communities from coast to coast to coast. If that is not bad enoug…

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' $9-million cover-up of their luxury condo purchase in New York City is now unravelling. Newly uncovered government documents show the Prime Minister's media pal Tom Clark lied before a parliamentary committee. He had previously said he did not weigh in on the purchase, but we now know that he in fact said it required urgent replacement. After nine years of these NDP-Libe…

Mr. Speaker, accountability really gets in the way of a good Liberal grift. Am I right? Liberals want anything but taking a minute to talk about how they are lining the pockets of their well-connected buddies while Canadians are lined up at food banks in record numbers. Food banks in my community and in communities right across this country have seen their use double. They are having to expand the…

Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Red Deer—Lacombe has been here a long time, and he has seen a lot of Liberal scandals, just like the green slush fund case, which even government officials have described as a sponsorship-level scandal.

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal minister from Edmonton Centre is in business dealings with someone who has a very shady and questionable reputation, to be gentlemanly. That is my assessment of it. This requires a much deeper look.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians elect their representatives. They have sent the 338 to this place, and we have seen now that the Liberal government, on more than one occasion, has flatly refused the majority will of this Parliament.

Mr. Speaker, there is a lot to unpack there. First of all, the parliamentary secretary does his best impersonation of a good defence, but he talks about conspiracy. There is no conspiracy.

Mr. Speaker, I heard people say that it makes them want to cry. It certainly does. A minister from the NDP-Liberal government came to committee, a minister of the Crown who should be able to put their personal interests aside.

Mr. Speaker, in the latest conflict of interest from a government of serial ethical lawbreakers, the Prime Minister wants his buddy Mark “carbon tax” Carney's company to be in charge of $10 billion of Canadians' pension dollars.
