Criticized the bill as a 'dog's breakfast' with serious civil liberties concerns.

"I am saying no to any bill that has provisions that give the government more power to take away my right to free speech and my constituents' right to free speech."

Criticized the government's management of the immigration system as dysfunctional and failing to prioritize vulnerable asylum seekers.

"Canada's asylum system is deeply and fundamentally broken after 10 years of Liberal government."

Criticized the budget for being overly deficit-laden and potentially bankrupting future generations.

"No, I do not support this budget, nor should anyone else in the House."

Criticized Bill C-10 for creating unnecessary bureaucracy that duplicates existing oversight mechanisms.

"This is not robust accountability. It is simply performative oversight designed to deflect criticism from the federal Liberal government's lack of action."

Argued that the bill would protect Canadians online while safeguarding civil liberties.

"This common sense legislation would modernize existing criminal offences to protect Canadians from harm as it occurs online with special provisions to protect minors."

Argued that the bill will provide justice for victims by ensuring that the refusal to disclose the location of remains is considered an aggravating factor in sentencing.

"I am proud to say that I will be supporting this bill, and I know that many others will be as well."

“Mr. Speaker, I am so glad my colleague brought this up. It gives me the opportunity to talk about the magical missing promise of more border agents. The Liberals keep getting up and saying that they promise 1,000 more border agents. They keep making this announcement, but they are not hiring anybody…”

“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the time that my colleague and I spent at the public safety committee last week trying to improve Bill C-12 , which was so lacking with regard to border security. I will note that, every time the Liberals say they are going to hire more border security, they do not do it. I…”

“Mr. Speaker, I think we are getting somewhere. I am sure my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois have concerns about some of the deep incursions into provincial jurisdiction as well. Again, we are getting some consensus in debate, and as with Bill C-63 , which had provisions about increased reporting …”

“Mr. Speaker, I doubt the hon. member my colleague is referring to who made the comment actually read the bill, because he has not. This is what the bill says. As my colleague across the way mentioned, there are some provisions, although not that one, that could ostensibly, maybe, help fix the mess t…”

“Mr. Speaker, I do not think anyone in Oakville West would think that going from absolutely crazy, insane levels of car theft to mucho, extra crazy levels of car theft is acceptable. The problem is that the Liberals are saying there was a drop, but it is still out of control. There are people in Oakv…”

“Mr. Speaker, as I said, there are elements of this bill that are worthy of study that could make things safer. The problem is that the Liberals have, once again, forced all of us, including my colleague, into a situation where we are supposed to choose between civil liberties and protecting our cons…”

“Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of things. I am speaking to the immigration provisions in the bill. My colleague mentioned health. The impact that the government's completely bananas, unsustainable levels of temporary residents and letting the asylum system get out of control has had on our health syst…”

“Mr. Speaker, millions of people in Canada are here on expired visas or visas that are about to expire. In order to fix the immigration system, the Canadian public should have publicly disclosed information on how many people exit. Why did the minister not include a departure-tracking mechanism in th…”

“Mr. Speaker, the government put this bill out and did not explain to Canadians specific instances or why Canadians should be giving up these liberties. I do not think we should be giving them up. It is completely unreasonable for the government to say “just trust us” when there is an entire burden o…”

“Mr. Speaker, in Greek mythology there is a character called Cassandra, who was fated to know the future and have nobody believe her. I know that colleagues on this side believed me when I said that tweeting “#WelcomeToCanada” and then rolling out a literal actual red carpet at Roxham Road and instru…”

“Mr. Speaker, if 2025 me travelled back in time to 2015 and said, “The government is going to use the Emergencies Act to freeze Canadians' bank accounts and then introduce a bill to criminalize thought crimes and cause news bans,” in 2015, I would have said, “What?” However, that is exactly what happ…”

“Mr. Speaker, yes, the Constitution Act actually says under section 95 that Parliament has the right to set immigration law, number one. Number two, the Kanyinda ruling is inherently about immigration. It is actually kind of hilarious that the member would say it was not. It ruled that asylum seekers…”

“Mr. Speaker, as I rise in debate for the first time in this 45th Parliament, I would like to present colleagues with some statistics about what a rare and unique privilege it is to serve in this place, if they will give me the floor. Of the millions upon millions of people who have lived in Canada t…”

“Madam Speaker, I am pleased to report to my colleague that he will be voting in favour of many of our amendments. I am sure he will enjoy that, and I will enjoy watching him while he does it.”

“Mr. Speaker, I cannot believe that the Liberals brought in three million temporary residents in such a short period of time. It is absolutely bananas, insane, crazy. It broke the immigration system. The bill would not fix that. Wow, what a disaster this is.”

“moved: That Bill C-12, in Clause 72, be amended by replacing line 3 on page 32 with the following: “permanent resident status or to grant or extend study permits or work permits.””

“Mr. Speaker, if Bill C-2 passes, it would allow CSIS, police and peace officers to demand personal info from online service providers without a warrant based only on vague suspicions of potential crime or legal breaches of any act of Parliament. Whether or not a Canadian uses an online service, wher…”

“Mr. Speaker, I get that the Liberals want to silence me, but, again, I got the information right off their website. Do they not know how to use the Google machine? It was fewer than 10,000 when they formed government. Today it is almost 300,000, after they hashtagged “WelcomeToCanada” to every econo…”

“Mr. Speaker, hello, fifteen years ago called and wants its immigration debate back. Fifteen years ago the asylum system had fewer than 10,000 claims, thanks to our Conservative government. What happened—”

“Madam Speaker, I do not agree with the member. Somebody who has made an asylum claim that is bogus should not receive federal benefits. Somebody who does not have the right to be in the country should not have better access to care than a Canadian senior who has paid their way here. It is that shift…”

“Mr. Speaker, where I will agree with my colleague is on what we have seen with the Liberals in their omnibus bills. They consistently want to push a narrative to Canadians that somehow they have to sacrifice their civil liberties in order for the government to fix messes of its own making. I think t…”

“Mr. Speaker, today we are debating amendments that the other place has proposed to Bill C-12 , as well as the government's response to those amendments. I would like to use this opportunity to offer a word of caution to the government regarding developments that have occurred since the immigration m…”

“Mr. Speaker, that is all a load of bunk for two reasons. Number one, God forgive them, yesterday the Liberals voted against a bill that would have stopped the process by which judges give lenient sentences to non-citizens convicted of serious crimes so that they can stay in Canada. That is an abject…”

“Mr. Speaker, it is important to understand this: The Liberals allowed unfettered numbers of bogus asylum claims to happen across the country, it placed a burden on provincial governments without any sort of consultation, particularly in health care and other social welfare programs across the board.…”

“Mr. Speaker, it is so exciting to see a Conservative elected in Windsor. It is awesome. My colleague is standing up for jobs in his community. While the Liberals are spending tens of billions of dollars on companies that are taking investments to other countries, with no job guarantees, he is standi…”

“Mr. Speaker, over the last very short period of time, I think it is three years, the Liberals have allowed three million temporary residents to come into the country, which is over 7% of Canada's population. We are hearing about the potential abuse of the asylum system by people who are on these vis…”

“Mr. Speaker, it would be a productivity superdeduction if the government scrapped the temporary foreign worker program and stopped allowing businesses that have no reason to bring in temporary labour to continue to suppress our wages and suppress productivity in this country. I think about how badly…”

“Mr. Speaker, last week, the member rose in this place and said that, if somebody was being sexually assaulted in this country, a non-citizen, judges would not give them special treatment. He said that. Then he stood in the House and gave many examples of that, including a 13-year-old girl who had be…”

“Madam Speaker, my colleague is exactly right. What we have seen from the Liberals over the last 10 years, including that incomprehensible tirade from a backbench Liberal member whom I just dunked on, is that the Liberals have lost the fact that calling things racist and not addressing the real probl…”

“Mr. Speaker, all I know is that when I was a cabinet minister, if former prime minister Stephen Harper found out that we were not shepherding our legislation through the House, there would be major heck to pay. This is because the principle of parliamentary supremacy is this: We are here to debate l…”

“Mr. Speaker, I think we could agree to start with enforcing the current provisions of the Constitution, such as section 91(25), which gives Parliament supremacy and the right to set immigration laws. It is not the court's job to do that. We have to start pushing back on an activist judiciary and big…”

“Mr. Speaker, since we are going through history, I will say that Jason Kenney, bless him, had to impose a visa on Mexicans because of the number of bogus asylum claimants there were. What did the Liberals do as soon as they came into office? They immediately reversed it. Now, after that, there have …”

“Madam Speaker, first of all, the Leader of the Opposition sat in a government that successfully negotiated and finalized six modern-day treaties. My colleague opposite sits in a government that has negotiated zero treaties over 11 years. The proof is in the pudding. Second of all, the Prime Minister…”

“Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague as well for her collaborative efforts in amending Bill C-12 . The member for Jonquière raised the issue that the government took several of the amendments we had worked collaboratively to pass and then, on its own initiative, exercised House procedure to s…”
