  • Re: Bill C-57 
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the official opposition, I want to start by thanking everyone in this chamber for their hard work over the last year and share merry Christmas wishes with colleagues and all staff who work on and around the Hill. I also want to wish a special merry Christmas to those in uniform who are serving our country, especially those overseas who will be sacrificing time with family and their usual Christmas traditions in order to serve our country and advance freedom and justice in a troubled world. I wonder if the government House leader could update the House about the planned calendar of business for the rest of this week and the work when we return. In particular, Liberals have claimed that they want to pass Bill C-57 on Canada-Ukraine free trade as soon as possible. If they are serious, I will propose a motion following the Thursday question to bring the deal to an immediate and final vote. The motion will be that, notwithstanding any standing order or usual practice of the House, all questions necessary for the disposal of the third reading stage of Bill C-57, an act to implement the 2023 free trade agreement between Canada and Ukraine, be deemed put and recorded divisions deemed requested and be not deferred. I wonder if the government House leader could clarify whether the government intends to allow its bill to come to a vote or whether it intends to delay it for political reasons.

Mr. Speaker,'Twas the night before Christmas and no one could afford a house. Some people were blaming a fellow named Klaus.The Prime Minister said he would have people's backs. But it turned out his real plan was to triple the tax.The holidays are here. There is a gift shopping tradition. But things are more expensive, thanks to the costly coalition.So instead just rest, stay home and take a nap. Try to forget about the ArriveCAN app.If you hear the sound of a reindeer's hoof, then it is Santa, not Stephen, up on the roof.Santa reaches down inside of his sack. He knows what the people want is to have their freedoms back.But if you hear the sound of a convoy truck, then the message for Liberals is: end the mandates.Jesus was born with a hope to save every sinner even the ones who attend the press gallery dinner.At Christmas we celebrate the joy that we find and proclaim peace and love to all “peoplekind”.This might be not as a good as Cuzner's last riff. I just hope it will not get me shot by journo Dale Smith. 'Twas the night before Christmas. Inflation is the worst. The Conservatives have a leader who will put the people first.
