Mr. Speaker, the Liberal minister from Alberta is a fake and a fraud. He said he was not the Randy involved in his company, but we know that there is only one Randy. He said he was not involved in his company at the cabinet table—

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…

Orders of the Day

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…

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…

Orders of the Day

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…

Oral Questions

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…

Oral Questions

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 …

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, 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, Canadians cannot believe a word from the Liberals when it comes to this scandal.

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. When the Liberals appointed their friends to the green slush fund board, they also got caught breaking the law, putting themselves before Canadians and ro…

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, 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.
