Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I very much appreciated my colleague's speech. Like her, I agree with the bill we are debating today. I recently watched the TV series Ratched, which is set in a psychiatric hospital in the 1950s. In the series, they treat homosexuality with a lobotomy. It really drives the point home that this was happening in the 1950s.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I am glad she is on the right side of this issue and agrees that Canadian society in general and Quebec society in particular still have a ways to go. I myself did not realize conversion therapy was even available in Canada. This bill does not seem progressive to me.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent, very moving and very eloquent speech on this issue. I have to admit that until just a few weeks ago, I did not even know that conversion therapy was allowed in Canada. I did not think that such a barbaric practice could exist.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question the member just asked our Liberal colleague about why the government prorogued the House for five weeks if it is so worried about public servants losing 14 days gathering documents. We could have been responsible and worked for the well-being of Canadians and Quebeckers, but the Liberals prorogued Parliament for five weeks.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I am trying to understand the chain of events. Last night, we voted on a motion that would have created a committee to analyze things like the government's spending over the past six months. It would have looked into WE Charity and the new $237-million Baylis scandal.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I noticed that she, like everyone, is very concerned about the health of Canadians in the coming months. However, what we are hearing is that the government could, once again, make this motion a confidence vote and potentially trigger an election in Canada.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I have a quick question. For the past two days, the two parties have been passing the buck and blaming each other. I mentioned that earlier. Does my hon. colleague agree that if we had abolished the Senate, this bill would already be passed? As an elected member I vote on a fundamental issue for my society.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I think that is what this bill seeks to address. Clearly, the justice system is not welcoming to victims right now. Women do not feel safe, as I mentioned. It is like a mountain. Sexual assault victims must repeat their stories to a police officer, a lawyer, a judge.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I agree with my hon. colleague. I have been here since yesterday, and I have been an MP for a year. I see the Liberals and the Conservatives pointing fingers at each other and saying it is the other party's fault that the bill has not been passed. Both parties are to blame.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, it is a small part. The bill sends a message that judges will have to take training going forward, and this will encourage them to be more open-minded when it comes to these issues, thereby avoiding the kind of terrible comments and remarks we heard from Judge Braun, for example.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity in the House to thank and congratulate folks in Quebec and across Canada who are working on the front lines of this pandemic in hospitals and long-term care homes. I am talking about health care workers, nurses, doctors and orderlies.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciated the speech delivered by my colleague, who has a thorough understanding of this matter. That is remarkable. I believe we are all of one mind on this issue. I think that everyone is pretty much on the same page. In Canada and Quebec, we want to ensure that the courts are more welcoming for victims of sexual assault.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I am extremely pleased to hear that he is concerned about housing. In Montreal, this has been a matter of great concern for years. Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have been camping on Notre-Dame Street in Montreal.

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. The NDP is not being clear, and I would like my colleague to enlighten me. Yesterday, the Bloc Québécois moved a motion that called for health transfers, among other things. Some members voted in favour of the motion, while others voted against.

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, this is my first time speaking virtually to the House. It is a bit strange. I thank my hon. colleague from Quebec for his speech. The 125 members of the Quebec National Assembly have unanimously called on the federal government to transfer funding for health care to Quebec.
