Updates From Canada’s 44th Parliament with Arnold Viersen

<p>The House of Commons has been running full steam since mid-September, and activity has been at fever pitch. Here’s a brief snapshot of some of the highlights:</p><p><br></p><p>// Liberals hosted Ukrainian President Zelensky in Ottawa. </p><p><br></p><p>// 37th Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota stepped down after he mistakenly invited a veteran who fought with the Nazis against Russia (and the House of Commons gave him a standing ovation).  </p><p><br></p><p>// Rota was replaced in a matter of days by Greg Fergus, Canada’s first black Speaker of the House of Commons</p><p><br></p><p>// Thousands of concerned Canadians descended on Parliament for the Million Person March, expressing concerns about parental rights and the sexualization of children in some schools.  </p><p><br></p><p>// The Conservatives had their policy convention with grassroots members from across Canada attending. Policies were passed supporting indigenous veterans, removing GST on essential maternity products, and protecting female-only spaces such as bathrooms and change room — to name just a few.  </p><p><br></p><p>Add to this the flurry of bills now flooding into the debate votes and committee phases:</p><p><br></p><p>// MPs Dean Allison’s bill to limit federal vaccine mandates (just defeated).</p><p>// MP Ed Fast’s bill to stop the expansion of assisted suicide to the mentally ill (just defeated)</p><p>// MP Rosemarie Falk’s bill to support adoptive families.</p><p><br></p><p>Here today to discuss the issues at hand is MP Arnold Viersen. He is well known for his very effective work across party lines, fighting human-trafficking, and serving as the chair of the Parliamentary Pro-Life Caucus.  </p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for joining us. </p><p><br></p><p>Please share.</p><p><br></p><p>____________________________</p><p><br></p><p><a href="http://faytene.tv" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Faytene.tv</a> is a listener-supported program.
