Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, my colleague just mentioned the federal housing accelerator fund. It is hilarious that the Liberal government had the gall to call it that. It took two years to make an announcement in Quebec under that program. There is not even a mention of anyone who actually mo

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I only heard the last two minutes of my colleague’s speech, but I heard him talking about housing, and that piqued my interest. The Liberals have been investing in housing for the past several years. The problem is that the government is not really investing. It is

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk about homelessness a bit. My colleague spoke of housing, and it is an important issue, but the government approach on homelessness is a bit hard to follow. The only federal program dealing with homelessness is Reaching Home. Still, the governme

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. It is always a pleasure to hear him. In the last minute of his speech, my colleague talked about good jobs. However, something is completely missing from the budget. Once again, we are waiting for an aerospace strategy. As we k

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, for the past few days, the number of devastating articles published in Quebec newspapers about the housing crisis have really surged. This morning, Josée Legault wrote the following about the housing crisis in the Journal de Montréal: Some Quebeckers can't find rea

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's speech. I am wondering what kind of alternate reality the Liberals are living in right now. I do not know. They talk about Canada as though it were one of the best countries in the world. When it comes to the fight against climate change

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I basically agree with my colleague that times are hard for many people in Canada, Quebec and elsewhere right now. Let us talk about housing. It is true that this issue is the focus of the budget. However, the problem is the federal government's approach. It is in

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  Madam Speaker, my colleague just talked at length about housing in his speech. In 2017, the Liberal federal government launched its major national housing strategy, which would span a decade and cost $82 billion. It should have addressed all the housing needs of Canadians. Today,

Combating Motor Vehicle Theft Act  Mr. Speaker, it is good to see you again. It has been a little while since I have spoken here. It is the end of the day, so there is only a small audience. I prefer to speak at 10:15 a.m. or 12:30 p.m., when there are a few people around. Right now, there is no one. However, I ha

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, it is always a bit sad when we debate bills that are in any way related to the fight against climate change. We are always witnessing some sort of battle between the Conservatives and the Liberals to see who does the least to fight climate change in this country. I

Housing  Mr. Speaker, there are plenty of concrete measures we can take to address the housing crisis. In fact, I proposed 12 of them just this morning. I am willing to discuss them with the Liberals at any time, because the only measures they have proposed so far include imposing ill-con

Housing  Mr. Speaker, the conditions set by Ottawa are not speeding up housing construction. They are slowing it down. Instead of getting the money out now, so that Quebec can get to work, the Liberals are picking a fight that will last until 2025. The money they are holding back is mean

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we will be spending another day in the Conservative Party's mythical carbon tax bubble. What a shame. However, I do agree with the Leader of the Opposition about the Liberal Party's abysmal record when it comes to housing. Its record is absolutely atrocious. I tour

Housing  Mr. Speaker, if Ottawa wanted to speed up housing construction in Quebec, it would give Quebec the money for housing. We are ready. We have our own permanent programs. We are actually the only ones in Canada who do. The Liberals could easily announce an unconditional transfer, b

Housing  Mr. Speaker, this is not just a question of jurisdiction; it is more serious than that. When the feds get involved, the delays pile up. What the Prime Minister is saying is true: Quebeckers who are struggling to find housing want governments to work together. That said, the fede
