Proceedings of the House and Committees  That is another thing I do not have enough time to talk about. I have eight pages of things that are not working in Canada during the pandemic, including tax avoidance. Billions of dollars are legally held elsewhere. I am not even talking about tax evasion. This is allowed under tax laws.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, I am not sure I understood what my colleague said, since I switched over to the interpretation a bit late. I will say it again. There are needs, especially with respect to housing. I did not mention figures earlier, but 150,000 households in Quebec did not pay rent in April as a result of the crisis.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  I think I talked enough about nurses. That is one problem, but there is a slew of problems that could be resolved. We need to sit down here to do that. Let's talk about housing in Quebec. There was a crisis, there is a crisis and there will be a crisis. Right now, we do not know what we are going to do, but all parliamentarians can take action in this regard.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, the tone just changed. While I was listening to my colleague, I was thinking. As some of my colleagues know, I was an actor in a previous life. When I rise in the House, I always wonder if I am putting on a show for the camera or playing to the house. Things are pretty strange right now.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her speech. It was fascinating to hear her talk about ideals, about what we should be doing, and about how the government should respond to the crisis. Let's go down the list of the people who need help from the government during the crisis, who need programs like the CERB and the emergency wage subsidy.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague very much for naming all the measures that the government has put in place over the past two months. I believe that these are targeted measures. There is more work to be done. Seniors, children with disabilities and workers have been taken care of.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his wonderful speech. It is interesting to hear him quote the Bible and talk about the most vulnerable in the House. Since we are talking about the most vulnerable in this crisis, I have a few interesting figures on the situation in Quebec.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I might be accused of always asking the same question, but that is because we never get an answer in the House. I will ask it anyway. I very much appreciated my hon. colleague's speech, and I have a great deal of empathy for anyone dealing with the tragedy of a rare disease.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member from Quebec for his valuable contribution to the debate, but he is not answering the fundamental question. Earlier, my Liberal colleague talked about Quebec and Canada collaborating. I asked him the same question. There is no collaboration. Quebec's National Assembly is unanimous about that.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her speech. My colleague is a member from Quebec. We could discuss people's well-being and pharmacare. The problem is that this is not the right forum. Health is a provincial jurisdiction. I would like to remind my colleague, who is from Quebec, that, on June 14, the National Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution indicating that Quebec is calling for full and unconditional financial compensation if a Canadian pharmacare plan is officially implemented.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Generally speaking, what I am noticing this afternoon from my Conservative colleagues' comments is a wilful blindness with respect to protecting aluminum. They seem to have difficulty understanding that my Bloc Québécois colleagues, our leader and I worked very hard with the Deputy Prime Minister to negotiate an agreement that includes the traceability of aluminum.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my Quebec colleague for his very interesting speech. I agree with him on the whole issue of supply management. In Quebec, we have felt the impact of treaties on supply management. The treaties that Canada has signed have always come at the expense of supply management and Quebec dairy producers.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, when someone cannot put a roof over their head, they wind up in the street, and this in a country with a government that goes on and on about how it has lifted thousands of people out of poverty. The government's current actions are forcing thousands of Quebeckers to either stay in or return to poverty.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I have a very serious question. We recently learned that $4.3 billion was spent under the national housing strategy. How much of that $4.3 billion was invested in Quebec? Zero, not one penny, zilch, nada, nothing. There is still another $1.4 billion available, but that money is languishing in federal coffers while Quebec is going through its worst housing crisis in 15 years.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is fascinating to listen to my colleague talk about federal-provincial collaboration on health matters. I do not know why we are debating this topic today, since health is a provincial jurisdiction. This motion is rather odd. That said, my colleague talks a lot about federal health spending.
