Mr. Speaker, thousands of good-paying Canadian jobs were lost this week when BC Ferries announced the purchase of four new ships not from shipyards here in Canada, but from shipyards owned by the Chinese Communist Party. This is despite BC Ferries receiving more than $36 million in taxpayer money from the Liberal government, taxpayer money that is now subsidizing jobs in China, a country that has …

Mr. Speaker, $64.5 million is how much taxpayer money the Liberal government gifted its friends at the top arrive scam contractor, friends who are now under RCMP investigation, yet the Trudeau ministers responsible for the scandal, far from being held accountable, have actually been promoted to minister of U.S. trade, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Jobs. My question for the Prime Mini…

Mr. Chair, does the minister believe that someone who is high on crystal meth, wandering the streets of downtown Vancouver or Toronto, poses a risk to public safety?

Mr. Chair, this is the same question: Is someone who is high on crystal meth an issue of public safety, yes or no?

Mr. Chair, can I just get some clarification from the minister? Is he saying that the government did not decriminalize fentanyl, crystal meth and crack cocaine in my home province of British Columbia?

Mr. Chair, under the Liberal drug decriminalization policy, which actually exists right now for fentanyl, crystal meth and crack cocaine, drug dealers are allowed to store more than 1,000 lethal doses of fentanyl in their homes. Does the minister believe that this policy makes Canadians safer?

Mr. Chair, the minister says to address it to the Minister of Health. Frontline RCMP officers have told me decriminalization ties their hands behind their backs and makes it easier for drug dealers and drug traffickers to push their illegal and addictive substances. Does he not agree with these frontline RCMP officers?

Mr. Chair, ultimately, does the minister agree that this is a matter of federal jurisdiction? This is the Criminal Code, therefore it is the government's decision and the government's responsibility.

Mr. Chair, in my home of Campbell River, 3,500 tablets of a deadly and addictive opioid that were being trafficked were seized by the RCMP. Does the minister believe in strong sentences for distributing, funding and profiting off these deadly and addictive drugs?

Mr. Chair, the fact of the matter is that the federal government funded this so-called safe supply program that has now ended up in the hands of drug dealers and drug traffickers, resulting in the seizure that I just mentioned. Does the minister regret and apologize for funding these programs?

Mr. Chair, does the Minister of Public Safety believe the Liberal government's experiment to decriminalize hard drugs, including fentanyl, crack cocaine and crystal meth, has been a success in my home province of British Columbia?

Mr. Chair, the minister must know that the policy of decriminalizing these hard drugs still exists. It is set to expire in January 2026. Will the minister commit to ending this failed policy once and for all?

Mr. Chair, does the minister deny that the federal government helped fund this program?
Read full speech →Government Orders
That sounded good, Mr. Chair. Unfortunately, these deadly and addictive opioids are actually part of the government's very own so-called safe supply program. The drugs are actually being distributed and funded by the minister's own government. If the minister is claiming that he is going to have stiff sentences, that the Liberals are going to crack down on the sources of these addictive drugs, who…

Mr. Speaker, the member across the way is continuing the proud Liberal tradition of spreading misinformation. I have never denied anything about the horrors that occurred in residential schools. The Liberals are just trying to distract from their horrible record on the economy, of doubling the national debt and of increasing violent crime by more than 50% over the past 10 years, leaving this count…

Let me first start off by thanking the incredible people of my riding of North Island—Powell River. I am here first and foremost because of the trust they have placed in me to be their voice and their elected representative in this esteemed chamber. This is something for which I will always…

Mr. Speaker, the now Minister of Public Safety said during the campaign that there was nothing wrong with the bail system in Canada. He even said it was “quite sound”. This was despite the deadly spree of murders and other violent attacks committed by people out on bail, and frontline officers across the country demanding immediate reform. Does the Prime Minister agree with his Minister of Public …

Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of Liberal government, many Canadians no longer feel safe in their own communities. Violent crime is up 50%. Gang homicides are up 78%. Gun crime is up 116%. This is the direct result of the revolving-door Liberal justice system, or injustice system as I should say, and weak Liberal laws that serve the interests of criminals and not Canadians. If this really is a new go…
