Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, I apologize to the parliamentary secretary. He is used to this, but I think he can make room for others. I fully agree with my colleague on many things. We need more mental health resources and more access to care. There are several socio-economic factors that can e

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, I sincerely want to thank my colleague for her speech. I believe that this is an issue where the debates are particularly instructive for members. We have been dealing with these matters in the House of Commons since 2016 and my position has changed over time, includ

Constitution Act, 1867 Madam Speaker, first of all, I also want to thank my colleague from Madawaska—Restigouche for this very simple, well designed and precise bill, which addresses a rather important concern.

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, I will leave it to others to comment on the propriety of the procedure put forward by the Conservative Party, but, in essence, it is a very interesting question.

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank Mr. Speaker, I too want to thank my colleague for her nuanced speech, nuance that is sorely lacking when we look at the state of public discourse on this unspeakable strategy that has unfolded in the Middle East since October 7.

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech and reiterate his unequivocal condemnation of the terrorist acts committed by Hamas, which have shocked the entire world.
