Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, what I understood from my colleague is that she wants this checked. It is not a request for consent. It is about checking with IT, because she has confirmed that her vote was not properly recorded. I think her request is more along those lines. I invite the Chair to reflect on this and take it under advisement.

Finance  Mr. Speaker, when we say that the cost of living is going up, we are not making it up. This week, Le Journal de Québec said, “‘It is a real disaster!’ Requests for food assistance are being denied for the first time in 37 years”. That is a sign that our society has a serious problem.

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, while the leader of the Bloc Québécois is off gallivanting abroad, there is work to do here in Canada. After eight years under this Liberal government, Canadians, including Quebeckers, are suffering. Since I am from Quebec, I try to defend the interests of Quebeckers every day.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I would like to tell the new little guy from Shawinigan that I read the paper. This morning, we learned that Quebeckers are feeling the biggest pinch from inflation. It was on the front page of the Journal de Québec. The carbon tax is one reason for that, and who supports it?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by saluting my colleague, whom I sincerely appreciate. We have the privilege of working together on issues related to the international Francophonie. I had the opportunity to work with him on Bill C‑13. It is a good thing that he was the Liberal representative for the study on Bill C‑13, because without him, we would have had even less to show for all our efforts.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to salute my colleague from Montcalm. That is definitely a concern for me. As the member for Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, I am concerned about two things, namely official languages and the environment. His question contains the answer because, when it comes to the energy transition, we need to take a gradual approach and have a vision.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, once again, I salute my colleague from Courtenay—Alberni. I hope he has a great summer too. I appreciate his kind words. I think it is important to act like a responsible parent. When a parent has a budget to manage, they have to manage it intelligently. If we, as parents, acted like this government, we would all be bankrupt and lining up at food banks.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I was saying that the current government is a minority government and that, in my opinion, the NDP will probably never again have the power it has right now in this 44th Parliament. It is rather odd and a bit disappointing to us, Canadians, who work hard to save our money and make the best use of it.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, first of all, I would like to thank my colleague who spoke before me, the hon. member for Elmwood—Transcona. I do not share his political opinions and values, but I must point out the effort he made to speak French. I am very pleased to hear more French in the House of Commons.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I really enjoyed the speech by my colleague from La Prairie. I can easily imagine that he would be a favourite teacher of his students. He is an economist and I can only agree with him. I would like him to tell us, the opposition parties, things we might not understand.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, for the eight years this government has been in power, it has been touting that it is working to reduce greenhouse gases. Now, its solution is to introduce a second carbon tax. It is also saying that it will not affect Quebeckers. That is not the truth. This second Liberal carbon tax will cost Quebeckers more than $430.

Housing Crisis  Mr. Speaker, Canadians are already having a hard time making ends meet because of inflation caused by the Liberal government's economic policy; now they are also facing another problem. In Quebec, a lot of people move on July 1. This year, it is an even bigger deal than usual. Here is the story of a good man from Trois-Rivières who has to camp in the bush because of the accessible housing shortage.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, we are not the ones who have abandoned Canadians. The Liberals have. They need to wake up. When a mortgage increases by $2,000 a month, is it realistic for a family to overcome that obstacle? The answer is no. This government has been irresponsible, and now Canadians are paying the price.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, since January 2022, interest rates have risen nine times. Everything costs more, including groceries and heating. Now we are getting another cold shower: another increase in mortgage payments. Families have to cut back on groceries in order to survive and continue making the payments on their mortgage.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, this government has been in office for eight years now and the only thing that it has done for the environment is impose a carbon tax. Clearly the plan is working. Just look at the wildfires burning outside. To make matters worse, the Liberals want to add a second tax through the GST.
