Health  Mr. Speaker, Emmy Pruneau, a young 19-year-old woman in my riding was told in May that she has terminal cancer. To slow progression of the disease, she needs the medication tazemetostat. The problem is that it was approved by Health Canada in 2020, but it is impossible for Canadian physicians to obtain it despite the fact that it is sold in the United States and Europe.

Sports  Mr. Speaker, this week we learned that Hockey Canada has not one, but two funds for handling cases of sexual assault. These funds are built from young players' registration fees. Despite the fact that every member from every political party is appalled and offended, and despite all the actions that have already been taken, the directors and executives do not seem to be getting the message.

Employment Insurance  Mr. Speaker, everyone knows about the passport saga with its endless delays. Unfortunately, we are experiencing the same problem with employment insurance, despite the fact that unemployment is at an all-time low and there are fewer applications. Public servants are saying they are powerless and cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Member for Richmond—Arthabaska  Madam Speaker, I want to take a moment to thank the thousands of people in the riding of Richmond—Arthabaska, those across Quebec and Canada, as well as my colleagues from all parties, who have supported me over the past two weeks following my decision to act in line with my values and convictions and, accordingly, to sit as an independent member of Parliament from now on.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Public Safety has repeatedly said that he invoked the Emergencies Act, a historic law that had never been used before in this country, at the request of the police. The problem is that every single police force has told the committee that they never asked for it.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Emergency Preparedness, himself a former chief of police, said the following in committee, referring to the Emergencies Act: “I do not believe that would have been an appropriate thing for law enforcement to ask, and they did not ask”. The reality is that we have a Minister of Public Safety who has totally lost Canadians' confidence.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for her interesting speech. I will ask her the same question I asked my Bloc Québécois colleague earlier. She mentioned that she wants to restore judicial discretion so that judges can set minimum sentences based on their judgment.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her very enlightening speech on the Bloc Québécois's position. The Bloc seems to have a number of concerns but is nevertheless planning to vote in favour of this deeply flawed bill. I have a simple question for my colleague. This bill recognizes judges' ability to render judgements, but now they are saying they want to get rid of minimum penalties for serious crimes like the ones my colleague mentioned, while at the same time saying there should be maximum penalties in certain situations.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, does my colleague believe that our society has a tax that we could eliminate to help Canadians? She spoke about the carbon tax, which is one of many, but I have rarely heard members of the Bloc Québécois say that they were in favour of cutting taxes to take some of the pressure off Canadians.

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, my riding is home to two great online content creators. Julia Westlin and David Michaud get millions of views on YouTube and are known throughout the world. They make a living from their art. Under Bill C-11, as it now stands, the CRTC could regulate their content, which would have a major impact on their livelihoods.

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, just because the Prime Minister says something does necessarily make it true. The bill states in black and white that the CRTC can regulate any content that directly or indirectly generates revenues, which includes content created by artists who do not ask for any subsidies and who want to live off their art.

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals claim that user-generated content will be exempt from regulation under Bill C-11. However, the bill states in black and white that the CRTC will have the power to regulate all content that directly or indirectly generates revenues. This means that almost all content will be regulated.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, inflation keeps going up and the government keeps doing nothing about it. Gas prices across the country were at over $2 a litre this morning and the price of diesel keeps going up. It is 35¢ more than it was just a month ago. This is having a direct impact on the cost of transportation, which automatically affects the cost of consumer goods, including groceries, which everyone needs.

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, yesterday we learned that inflation has reached 6.8%. The last time it was that high was 31 years ago in 1991. This year, Canadians are paying 10% more for groceries than they did last year, and that is not to mention skyrocketing gas prices. Will the Liberal government take real action now to address the rising cost of living that all Canadians are currently experiencing?

Passport Canada  Mr. Speaker, in normal times, it used to take 20 days to get a passport. Now it takes more than 40 days. People are unable to get through on the phone, and Service Canada is even billing people for the cost of transferring their file when it is sent to Quebec, even if they are not responsible for the delays.
