Madam Speaker, with regard to question period and regarding committees, on May 18, at the transport committee, Bill Morneau, a key witness in the committee's study examining the role of McKinsey & Company, attended the meeting, but his earpiece did not work, ironically. Therefore, all six opposition committee members wrote to the chair, calling on Bill Morneau to come to committee to testify, and I am seeking unanimous consent from this House to ensure that happens.

Madam Speaker, during question period there was a lot of discussion on inflation. In light of that, I am seeking unanimous consent to table the monetary policy report by the Bank of Canada dated April 2023, specifically the part highlighted as “Fiscal measures adding to the growth of domestic demand”, which proves that government spending drove up inflation.

Madam Speaker, during question period, the member for Edmonton Centre, who is also the Associate Minister of Finance and the Minister of Tourism, referred to the Conservative Party platform on two occasions. Since the beginning of the week, and again today during question period, the Liberal Party has been asking the Conservative Party for permission to table the Conservative plan in the House. I would like to correct one of the facts. First, there is no mention of a carbon tax in these platforms. Second, I would ask for the unanimous consent of the House to table the Liberal cost plan from the 2015 platform, in which the Liberals said, “We will run modest deficits for—

Madam Speaker, I am hoping that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to table a news report about something that happened in my riding this morning. My riding, for people who may not know, is Peterborough—Kawartha, and it has been a bit of a canary in the coal mine of the crisis happening in this country. There is a decline in public safety, primarily for our most vulnerable, and also addictions and mental health. Early this morning, there was a fatal shooting of a young woman in a homeless tent encampment in Peterborough, and I am asking if we could table with unanimous consent the news report of this, because I think it is really critical that we address this right now. This is why I came here to Parliament, to be honest, and this is something that business owners have been crying about. People knew and said this was going to happen. I have been in contact with officials. In my riding, there is a sense of fear and a sense of despair, quite frankly, and it is just horrific news coming out of our community. I would just ask for unanimous consent to table this news story for the House.

Madam Speaker, on a point of order, I would urge you, in light of the circus that just transpired, to fully investigate this vote. We have functioned for three years on an honour system around virtual voting and virtual Parliament, and Conservatives have actually used the virtual Parliament more than any other party. I find it difficult to accept that today that there is some mystery virus that has impacted only Conservatives and has not impacted members of the Bloc, the NDP, the Liberals or the Greens. The fact that we have had repeated disruptions is equivalent, in the virtual world, to a member in this House throwing their chair across the House and setting fire to their desk. If there was some mystery virus that hit only Conservatives— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!
