Mr. Gérard Deltell (Louis-Saint-Laurent, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C‑375, An Act to amend the Impact Assessment Act (federal-provincial agreements). He said: Madam Speaker, it is with much emotion and pride that I introduce my first bill. It is never too late to do good. This bill amends the Impact Assessment Act to provide that the federal government and the provinces may, if certain conditions are met, enter into agreements to exempt certain projects from the application of that act. Simply put, this means that for each project, only one assessment will be done to give the green light as quickly as possible to the green projects that are so badly needed in Canada.

Mr. Eric Melillo (Kenora, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-376, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (orders prohibiting the possession of weapons). He said: Madam Speaker, it is my honour to introduce my private member's bill today, which simply would amend the Criminal Code to institute a mandatory weapons prohibition for all individuals convicted of a violent indictable offence. This is a common-sense approach to target violent offenders, given the alarming increase in violent crime we have seen across the country. I look forward to debating this in greater detail when the time comes and having the support, hopefully, of colleagues on all sides of the House.

Mr. Alex Ruff (Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-377, An Act to amend the Parliament of Canada Act (need to know). He said: Madam Speaker, my bill would basically introduce and formalize a process to enable parliamentarians to request a secret security clearance from the Government of Canada by deeming that they need access to the information for the purposes of processing that request. Currently, individual parliamentarians have limited probability of obtaining a security clearance unless they possess one from a previous career or have the privilege of sitting on one of the special committees. Ultimately, this bill would increase Parliament's ability to take national security and intelligence issues seriously while facilitating Parliament's ability not only to hold the government to account, but also to increase Canadians' trust in our federal democratic processes and institutions.

Mrs. Dominique Vien (Bellechasse—Les Etchemins—Lévis, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-378, An Act amending the Canada Labour Code (complaints by former employees). She said: Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Beauce for seconding my bill. I really appreciate it. I am very proud to introduce this bill, which will make life easier for former employees of organizations subject to the Canada Labour Code. With this bill, I hope that we will all agree to give former workers a little more time to file harassment complaints. The code currently provides for three months, which, in my opinion, is too short a time frame, whereas there is no limitation period for current employees. The bill, therefore, seeks to increase the time limit for former employees from three months to two years. Some will see that I am consistent in my approach, even though I changed this time frame when I was labour minister in the National Assembly.

Mr. Randy Hoback (Prince Albert, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-379, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (motor vehicle theft). He said: Madam Speaker, I think that people in my constituency and right across Canada are going to be very happy with this motion. This is something the Conservatives are going to take action on. Today, I introduce my bill, an act to amend the Criminal Code for motor vehicle theft. My bill would toughen the penalties for repeat car thieves who are acting on behalf of organized crime. While Liberals attend photo ops and meetings, Conservatives are going to take action on this issue and show results for our constituents. I look forward to support on this bill.

Mr. Corey Tochor (Saskatoon—University, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-380, An Act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (plastic manufactured items). He said: Madam Speaker, it is an honour to rise and introduce this common-sense bill that I think will get support across all party lines. It would clean up the mess that the courts have found that the Liberals made when they tried to ban the plastic straw. It is a common-sense approach that removes plastic as a listed substance that is toxic. It is very timely, because we know that the cost of living is through the roof right now, especially with food and everything else costing so much more money. If the Liberals were to be successful in banning single-use plastics in food preparation and distribution industries, it would only cause the price of food to increase to even higher rates. It is an honour to introduce my bill, which would bring back the plastic straw but more importantly drive down food costs across the country. I know there will be wide support for this bill from all parties when we get into the debate.

Hon. Tim Uppal (Edmonton Mill Woods, CPC)
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-381, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (extortion). He said: Madam Speaker, with the Liberals' soft-on-crime policies, violent crime has risen to an unprecedented level across the country, including extortion. Businesses are being extorted at the highest levels we have ever seen. Extortion offences have increased by over 218% since the government came into office. The protection against extortion bill reintroduces mandatory minimum penalties that were scrapped by the Liberal government in their legislation, Bill C-5. It is my honour to bring forward this common-sense bill that would help to protect Canadians.
