The House of Commons has been suspended from debate, at least for now. Is this a temporary measure by the Speaker, or is it part of a larger strategy by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to keep the opposition on the back foot?
00:01:08.300I'm looking at the parliamentary calendar this morning and I'm seeing business of the House.
00:01:12.840We're going to watch a video in a minute from Andrew Scheer where he's saying, and he's a former speaker, so he understands the parlance of the speaker and what the speaker's decision was.
00:01:24.820Which apparently sounds like they want to limit discussion, at the very least, to the Green Slush Fund.
00:01:30.380Now, what you're saying, what is the Green Slush Fund?
00:01:32.280We've talked about it before, the long name for the Sustainable Development Technology Canada, SDTC.
00:01:40.380The Conservatives dubbed it the Green Slush Fund because, in committee, we discovered, they discovered, that there have been hundreds, literally hundreds of millions of dollars passing through this group, this organization.
00:03:40.020Not, though, if Parliament is suspended, except talking about anything except the Green Slush Fund, or if Trudeau prorogues Parliament.
00:03:48.440The good news about proroguing Parliament, of course, and if I'm going too fast for you, I'm trying to get this all in.
00:03:54.320The good news is that the legislation that we're facing, and this is horrible legislation, Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, the censorship bill, the thought crimes bill, would be turned to dust.
00:04:07.940Bill C-293, the vegan bill, which would make a health czar responsible for regulating food during any pandemic, and could outlaw and ban meat products.
00:04:26.400So would the Charlie Angus bill to criminalize promotion of the oil industry.
00:04:33.160And there's a number of other very dangerous pieces of legislation in front of the Commons, which would be completely obliterated if the House is prorogued.
00:04:43.100Now, let's listen to Andrew Scheer here.
00:04:45.960Because this, remember, Andrew is a former Speaker, so he understands the process better than most MPs ever will.
00:04:54.540Because you really have to be in the Speaker's shoes to understand how the system works.
00:04:58.820Now, I've often told you, I've worked on Parliament Hill for eight years.
00:05:04.120So I understand the parliamentary system very well, but you never understand it as well as somebody who's in the center of the process, as Andrew Scheer is.
00:05:12.780And so I've been through parliaments being suspended.
00:05:39.540After nine years, Justin Trudeau has shown that he's not worth the cost or their corruption.
00:05:44.260The Speaker has just recently ruled that all House business, all government business must be put aside while Members of Parliament consider Liberal corruption.
00:05:56.600First, we had the case of the Green Slush Fund, the SDTC Fund, where the Auditor General found over $330 million funneled to Liberal insiders' own businesses.
00:06:12.080She found massive conflicts of interest.
00:06:15.620Basically, these Liberal appointed board members who made the decision as to which companies got money, taxpayers' money, from this fund, were funneling that money to their own businesses or to the businesses of their close friends.
00:06:29.540So the Auditor General has blown the whistle on that, yet the government refuses to hand over the documents to the RCMP.
00:06:36.780The House of Commons passed a production order demanding that all documents, all information that the Auditor General uncovered, plus any documents that might exist in any government department related to this scandal, be handed over to the RCMP.
00:06:50.080The government is refusing, and as a result, the House will be seized with this corruption matter until they hand over the documents.
00:06:58.600And then we have the case of the other Randy, where a senior Trudeau minister is alleged to have been sitting around the cabinet table while also involved in his own business' affairs.
00:07:12.420His business partner was summoned before committee and refused to disclose all the information, refused to name who the other Randy is, refused to hand over all the documents and answer the questions that were put to him.
00:07:26.780And as a result, the House is seized with that motion as well.
00:07:30.100So what we're saying today is that the government will not be able to, the House will be staying on these corruption matters until the Liberals hand over all the documents to the RCMP.
00:07:42.760While Canadians are suffering with the cost of living crisis that Justin Trudeau caused with his runaway inflation,
00:07:49.720while millions of Canadians are visiting a food bank for the first time and young Canadians are giving up on the dream of home ownership as housing costs have doubled under the NDP Liberal government,
00:08:00.100it's clear once again that the Liberals will always stop and enrich their friends while they impoverish Canadians.
00:08:08.020Matt, what's this going to look like and how long is this going to go on?
00:08:10.300So the Speaker has ruled that the Parliament's rules were broken in this Liberal cover-up.
00:08:19.260The House of Commons demanded these documents be sent to the RCMP so that the RCMP can determine whether or not there are criminal charges warranted because of this corruption.
00:08:30.100The government refused to comply with this long-standing power that Parliament has to hold governments to account.
00:08:37.860And by doing so, the Speaker has now ruled that all government business must be put aside until the House deals with this corruption motion.
00:08:44.740It's really up to the government to determine how long that will take,
00:08:48.740but it's clear that they're willing to go to extreme lengths to cover up their corruption,
00:08:52.980that they're willing to put the business of Parliament off to the side just to protect Liberal insiders.
00:08:59.300Liberal-friendly appointees to this board funneled money to their own companies, that's taxpayers' money.
00:09:05.500While Canadians are paying higher carbon taxes, higher prices at the grocery store, higher mortgage costs with high interest rates,
00:09:11.500Liberal insiders stopped and enriched themselves.
00:09:14.500It's never been so good to be a Liberal insider. It's never been so tough to be a hard-working candidate.
00:09:21.500All right, we're going to leave it at that because it seems clear from the statement that, no, the MPs are not all going home.
00:09:28.500The Parliament will still be in session, but apparently the business should be limited to discussing, as Andrew Scheer says, Liberal corruption.
00:09:39.500That's not what the Speaker said. Obviously, he talked about to resolve this matter about the documents relating to the Sustainable Development Technology Canada group or the Green Slush Fund.
00:09:52.500So whether that's going to happen today, I just looked at the calendar and we've got new business as another private members build up.
00:09:59.500So we'll see what happens when the Speaker arrives and the House opens at 10 o'clock this morning.
00:10:08.500And the question period will be very interesting.
00:10:11.500But this is how arrogant Justin Trudeau is about this.
00:10:16.500And like I say, don't for a minute think he's not wondering, how can I exploit this situation for my own political gain?
00:10:24.500The Honourable Leader of the Opposition, you, Mr. Speaker, have said that this Prime Minister is violating the rules of the House by refusing to hand over SDTC documents on a corporate welfare scandal of $400 million.
00:10:43.500But the Auditor General says involved 186 conflict of interest where bureaucrats, top officials in this Liberal government were giving millions of dollars to their own companies.
00:10:55.500Will the Prime Minister hand over the information to the police? And if not, what's he got to hide?
00:11:35.500What in the hell does that have to do with Canadians' charter rights?
00:11:40.500Since when is the Canadian charter right about the RCMP and the Auditor General's independence?
00:11:49.500This guy plays fast and loose, not just with the truth, but with verbiage and words.
00:11:56.500That is a completely meaningless statement to make.
00:12:00.500It's a completely stupid statement to make, but it doesn't even make any kind of sense politically to suggest that this is a violation of charter rights to know the truth about how many millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars were wasted, were corruptly given to friends of the Trudeau government.
00:12:26.500This man just doesn't think, he really believes there's enough Canadians out there stupid enough to buy into this statement that this has anything to do with the charter of rights?
00:12:40.500I think Pauliev's response here is very, very apropos.
00:12:45.500The Honourable Leader of the Opposition.
00:12:53.500So his idea of a charter right is that you have the right as a top government executive to take $400 million of other people's money and give it to your own company and then hide the criminal evidence from the police.
00:13:10.500Well, Mr. Speaker, Canadians have the charter right to know where their money went.
00:13:15.500So will the Prime Minister accept your order and the vote of this house to turn over the documents to the police so that we can put the bad guys in jail and get back the money that was stolen?
00:13:35.500This is about your charter rights, not Justin Trudeau's supposed charter rights.
00:13:42.500So there's the House agenda for today, Thursday, October 3rd.
00:13:49.500Now, clearly the House is not suspended and it looks like there's other business on the docket.
00:13:56.500Now, this is what we need to know what actually transpires today.
00:14:00.500And we will be following this story throughout the day.
00:14:03.500And I find this absolutely fascinating that perhaps the people who write the calendar just simply haven't caught up with reality.
00:14:11.500Things are moving so fast right now, people.
00:14:14.500I have never seen in the 40, 35 years I've been watching Parliament.
00:14:22.500I've watched it since I was very young, actually.
00:14:24.500I've never seen Parliament move this fast.
00:14:27.500And I've never seen a government try so desperately to stay in power.
00:14:32.500You can see the Trudeau government is teetering.
00:14:35.500It's quite obvious that the Trudeau government is teetering on the brink of destruction.
00:14:40.500There have been so many scandals in the past that they've skirted, they've walked away from.
00:14:46.500It's like there's these tiger traps in front of them and they just walk around them every time and they just don't fall in.
00:14:55.500And despite the fact that they deserve to fall in, they are saved every time by the complete apathy of the law and order facilities in this country, namely the RCMP, by the apathy of parliamentary authorities, that they are completely immune.
00:15:18.500I mean, Trudeau has been Teflon to these scandals, whether they're personal, the blackface scandal, or whether it's been very public scandals about what his government has done, the corrupt way his government has acted.
00:15:34.500It's like it's not just this SDTC scandal.
00:15:38.500It's not just the the green slush fund that's catching up to Justin Trudeau.
00:15:42.500It's nine years of heinous corruption, of egregious corruption is catching up to this man, is catching up to this government.
00:15:54.500This is what we're witnessing right now.
00:15:57.500This is why the government is teetering on the brink of destruction.
00:16:01.500And we'll have to keep watching every day to see if the revelation of how bad the green slush fund is and was comes out.
00:16:13.500I want to I want to get on to another issue before we run out of time here this morning.
00:16:17.500I know this is something dear to your heart.
00:16:19.500Thank God for Premier Alberta, Premier Daniel Smith, who has followed through on her promise of parental rights in Alberta.
00:16:34.500I'm going to play a video in a second and then I'm going to show you the reaction from people who claim to love children.
00:16:40.500And if you think a 10 year old should be getting a sex change operation on a whim because he or she decides, wakes up one day and says, I really feel like I'm not the same sex today.
00:17:07.500The parents have rights over the children, not the state, not the classroom, not the teachers, not the school board, not not even the government.
00:17:17.500Parents and children should not be subject to the whims of woke ideologists who think they are the ones who know best for children.
00:17:28.500Now, I applaud Daniel Smith for doing this and we're going to show you the video and then we're going to show you the reaction from the usual suspects who hate children.
00:17:43.500Go over some of the specifics to expect in the legislation.
00:17:47.500Firstly, licensed Alberta doctors will be prohibited from performing gender assignment surgeries on youth under the age of 18 in Alberta.
00:17:56.500Puberty blockers and hormone therapies for the purpose of gender reassignment for minors under the age of 16 will also be prohibited unless a minor has already commenced their treatment at this time.
00:18:09.500For 16 and 17 year olds wishing to proceed with puberty blockers or other hormone therapies for the purpose of gender reassignment, they may do so only if they have parental, psychologist and doctor approval.
00:18:20.500In our schools, the proposed legislation will now require parental notification and consent for a teacher or staff member to change a child's name or pronoun and publicly use that new name or pronoun in a classroom setting or school assembly.
00:18:33.500And to be clear, this does not mean reporting or outing a student for their private conversations with friends or teachers regarding their gender identity.
00:18:41.500For 16 or 17 year olds who choose to alter their name or pronoun used in school, they may do so without parental consent so long as parents are still notified in advance.
00:18:51.500In those extremely rare circumstances where a teacher feels that a child might be at risk should the parents be notified of a desired name or pronoun change, Alberta Education will provide a protocol to ensure the protection of that child throughout the parental notification process.
00:19:06.500I am convinced that parents, even those who may disagree with the decision of their child, will still love and care for that child no matter what choices they make.
00:19:14.500It would be wise for all of us to remember that, rather than questioning the love of parents and their paramount role as the primary caregivers and teachers of their children.
00:19:23.500In addition, the newly proposed legislation will require parental notification and parental opt-in requirement for each instance a teacher intends to address issues or subject matter involving gender identity, sexual orientation or human sexuality.
00:19:38.500Furthermore, the provision of resource materials or presentations to students related to these subjects in our K-12 schools must be approved by the Ministry of Education to ensure age appropriateness and relevance to school curriculum.
00:19:53.500And finally, as it pertains to women and girls in competitive sports, proposed legislation will be tabled that prohibits individuals born biologically male from competing against women and girls in competitive sporting competitions.
00:20:06.500This will apply to all competitive women's and girls sports in all provincial sporting organizations, as well as in our schools and post-secondary competitive sporting divisions.
00:20:15.500Thank God. This is common sense thinking. This is common sense policy. This is common sense politics.
00:20:26.500And anybody who's out there saying, Daniel Smith didn't go far enough, I don't know, maybe she didn't.
00:20:32.500But she's gone farther than most politicians in this country are prepared to do.
00:20:38.500And I applaud her for that. I applaud political courage.
00:20:42.500And she's already taking it on the nose for this from the usual suspects, from the usual idiots who really think they know best for your children.
00:20:55.500Because what if you decide you want a sex change operation at 10?
00:21:05.500And a little later in life, you say, you know, that was a horrible mistake I made.
00:24:32.500All of the countries in Europe are coming around to the realization that children should not be making decisions about having sex change operations or taking puberty blockers.
00:25:14.500They are opposing science, as they love to say.
00:25:18.500They are at odds with not just parents, but the health and the safety of children in Canada.
00:25:27.500They are endangering the safety of children in Canada.
00:25:32.500In fact, it's Holland and it's Trudeau and it's in and it's all of these people who want sex change operations for little children who are putting the lives of Canadian children at risk.
00:25:57.500We're going to keep our eyes on whether or not Parliament is limited to debating liberal corruption, as Andrew Scheer told us earlier.
00:26:04.500And we'll see if there's any more fallout from Daniel Smith's courageous decision to follow through on our promise to respect parental rights and to stop the mutilation of children.
