Adjournment Proceedings
Mr. Speaker, what Canadians need to know, and I will repeat it again, is that the Prime Minister has taken clear and deliberate steps to meet and exceed the expectations set out in the Conflict of Interest Act, which was passed by Parliament. He has proactively disclosed the required information to the Ethics Commissioner. Canada is recognized globally for having some of the strongest ethics and c…

Mr. Speaker, extortion is a serious crime and we are taking it seriously. Extortion carries a penalty of life in prison in Canada. That is extremely serious. If committed with a firearm, there are minimum sentences as well. We will act decisively to strengthen the Criminal Code and move aggressively to protect victims by making bail laws stricter for violent, organized criminals. We will work clos…

Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to sympathize with the family of the innocent bystander. Her family lives in my riding and I have met with them. This issue is close to home for me and is one I am committed to in my position. I know the Prime Minister is committed to it. We are going to make changes. This new government is committed to making sure that we hold criminals accountable and make our s…

Mr. Speaker, you heard it in the throne speech yesterday: It is a top priority of this new government. We are partnering with police services across this country to fight organized crime.

Mr. Speaker, I wish you a happy Diwali. Last week, I celebrated the festival of lights in my riding by going to local mandirs and gurdwaras. What made Diwali even more special was that the Prime Minister dropped by to celebrate with Bramptonians. Today, we will continue the grand celebration on the Hill, hosted by the Liberal caucus, with many in attendance from across the country. The celebration…

Mr. Speaker, today I stand before you with a profound sense of urgency and concern regarding the alarming revelations about foreign interference in our country. The RCMP's statement regarding the investigation into violent criminal activities linked to the Government of India has brought to light a harsh reality that Sikh Canadians have long feared. As a member of Parliament representing a vibrant…

Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity, first and foremost, to thank our policing agencies. The RCMP and all local police across this country have been doing exceptional work to make several arrests in the complicated scheme that has been taking place all over North America. We have our allies across the pond looking into similar occurrences happening on their soil as well. This is due to th…

Mr. Speaker, I do agree that security clearances should be undertaken for all those who travel to Canada, especially those who are in places such as security agencies, policing, military and government. Those who are in violation of human rights should not be let into this country. Canada takes that very seriously. I would also encourage our authorities to make sure that those checks are in place …

Mr. Speaker, I want to comment and to ask a question of the member regarding extortion. The member painted a very serious image of the extortion that is going on. In my community, in particular, I have had constituents come to me with videos of FaceTime calls from leaders of gangs sitting in prisons in India. How does that happen? How are people who are imprisoned in India contacting my constituen…

Mr. Speaker, there have been allegations of interference when it comes to the leadership race of the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. I think we should take these allegations very seriously and make sure that all party leaders are informed. I encourage the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada to get his clearance, because it is not as simple as some of his members allude to and th…

Madam Speaker, what my colleague just brought up is interesting. The principle of the bill is, essentially, to make sure that as many Canadians as possible can vote in the next election. I think that is a very noble pursuit that all members of the House should be working toward. To disenfranchise Canadians is not what we have been put in this place to do. We want the next election to be the most p…
