Business of Supply  The member can heckle all he likes about what he thinks he is or what he thinks he is not, but he is a Canadian citizen even though he lives in Quebec. He is a Canadian, a Canadian, a Canadian. Would the parliamentary secretary agree with that perspective and agree that this is the way Canada is right now?

Fisheries and Oceans  Madam Speaker, our government has been there for Atlantic Canadians every step of the way as we recover from the devastation of hurricane Fiona. Small craft harbours are the lifeblood of the economy for communities across Atlantic Canada. Can the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans share with the House how our government will continue to be there for fish harvesters and Atlantic Canadians?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, both speakers from the Conservative Party have referenced the letter from the Liberal premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. I do not have a perfect memory, but it is a pretty good one. I remember when a Conservative premier in Newfoundland flew the Canadian flag upside down because of the way the province was being treated by a Conservative government in Ottawa.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the sixth report of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, entitled “Marine Cargo Container Spills”. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

Improvements to Long-Term Care  I would like to request a recorded vote.

Improvements to Long-Term Care  Madam Speaker, I want to start off my speech this evening by thanking the colleagues who have reached out to me to voice their support for Motion No. 47 and have spoken in support of the motion in our first hour of debate and again here today. I know that each and every one of us is plagued with the state of our long-term care facilities.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I will start with a comment before I get to the question. There are times that we will disagree, regardless of what side of the House we sit on, but the member opposite turned his comments to try and slander and disingenuously try to harm the reputation of a former police officer, namely now the Minister of Emergency Preparedness.

Canada Infrastructure Bank Act  Mr. Speaker, after two years hampered by a global pandemic, Canadians are starting to rebuild. Communities large and small across the country are looking to a brighter, sustainable and inclusive future. The Government of Canada is committed to bolstering that rebuild. The Canada Infrastructure Bank is playing an important role in that effort.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the fifth report of the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans, entitled “Traceability and Labelling of Fish and Seafood Products”. Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

Government Business No. 16—Proceedings on Bill C‑11  Mr. Speaker, what is at stake is losing who we are as a society and as a culture. As I said to the previous question, if we do not protect our own identity, who will protect us? We would be absorbed by the U.S. I have said to different people that some people do not know where they are from.

Government Business No. 16—Proceedings on Bill C‑11  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague. I have been in his riding many times. I have family in the area. This will help local artists and producers. We only have to look at some of the shows that have come out of Newfoundland. Consider the Republic of Doyle, for example, and what it did for our province to highlight and drive the tourism industry literally crazy because of the scenery it showed and the houses and colours of St.

Government Business No. 16—Proceedings on Bill C‑11  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for her comments. At the committee we serve on together, FOPO, she continues to amaze me with her intent, her questions and her knowledge of the industry. I also know her to be a performer, because she has gifted us with her talents at committee different times.

Government Business No. 16—Proceedings on Bill C‑11  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Drummond. The government is committed to implementing a digital and cultural policy agenda that will serve Canadians' interests not just today but well into the future. It will support our cultural and artistic ecosystems, including our many talented creative sector workers.

Instruction to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs Regarding Bill C-14  Madam Speaker, I notice my hon. colleague mentioned in his speech the size of some ridings, the square kilometres and the distance to get from point A to point B in his riding. Does he agree that looking at the land mass that is included, especially in rural areas, should be a part of the process as well?

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, we would like a recorded vote.
