Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, off the top of my head, there is not much in the budget about that. Perhaps I missed part of my colleague's question. There is not much there when it comes to funding or content. Yes, obviously, there are some good measures. However, in 2023, we would have hoped that this budget would contain more social democratic measures and something tangible to back them up.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, it is funny that he said that. Earlier, my colleague from Mirabel gave a wonderful speech. He told us that he wanted the king to appear before a committee, but that the king did not have Internet service or did not know how to use it. That was really great. Yes, that is something that should have been in the budget.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, that is obviously a win. However, at what price will the NDP have gained this victory?

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, today we are debating an omnibus bill. That, of course, is Bill C-47, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023. This bill, which is sponsored by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and the member for University—Rosedale, is at report stage.

Sercan Palliative Care Home  Madam Speaker, today I want to mark the recent opening of the new addition to the Sercan palliative care centre in Saint‑Eustache in my riding. Since the expansion was completed, 12 beautiful, large, peaceful and warm private rooms have been accessible free of charge to people nearing the end of their lives.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the NDP for tabling this motion. There is something about it that seems a little unusual, a little strange or ambivalent coming from the NDP. A few weeks ago, the NDP openly praised David Johnston's appointment. Its position led me to believe that the NDP supported the work that David Johnston was about to undertake.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I will ask my Conservative colleague a simple question. If the Conservatives were to form government, would they scrap Bill C-21 on firearms?

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, I think that everyone in the House agrees that French is in decline in Quebec and across Canada. That is the impression I get. Perhaps the Liberals still have their doubts, but that is the way it goes. How does my colleague explain the fact that the Liberal government is promoting English in Quebec by allocating $137 million for services for anglophone communities?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I was really pleased to hear our colleague indicate that he supports three of the four points dealing with foreign interference, particularly the idea of expelling diplomats involved in interference. Kudos to him. After the crazy week we have had, considering all the revelations and information we have heard, does he really believe that there was no interference by a Chinese diplomat?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague thinks of the NDP proposal to tie the level of federal funding to immigration caps within each province.

Petit Théâtre du Nord  Madam Speaker, I rise today to mark the 25th anniversary of Petit Théâtre du Nord, a veritable institution of the performing arts in the Lower Laurentians. Founded in a garage in Mirabel in 1998, Petit Théâtre du Nord moved first to the Blainville community centre, and then to its permanent home at the Centre de création de Boisbriand, a beautifully renovated old church.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Yukon for his speech. It is really nice to hear him speak French. I would like to know whether he shares a concern that I have. Two or three years ago, the Prime Minister said that he would invest 2% of the budget in military spending.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, we know the Conservatives' position in terms of the budget, the cuts they would make if they were in power, major budgetary restrictions and balancing the budget. This evening, 150,000 federal public servants will quite likely go on strike. I would like to ask my colleague from Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles the following.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his presentation and his excellent French. It is always a pleasure to hear anglophones speak French in the House. I congratulate him. My question is twofold. First, according to the budget, investments are still being made in the oil sands and offshore drilling.

Battle of Vimy Ridge  Mr. Speaker, last week, we commemorated the 106th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which was waged in 1917 during the First World War. No less than seven different Quebec-based regiments were active in Vimy, in northern France. Among them, was the legendary 22nd Battalion, the only French-speaking unit in the entire British army.
