Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, the member knows the Bloc Québécois's position on that. Yes, there have been improvements and we are not saying that we need to start from scratch. We never said that. What we are saying is that it does not make sense to be giving oil companies billions of dollars,

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. She also made a good speech, in which she spoke about the billions of dollars going to oil companies. We need to look at the root of government interference, which is fiscal imbalance. What does that mean? First, Ottawa takes

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, indeed, as I said in my speech, they have no intention of meeting their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. They say they do, but look at what the United States found out. It seems clear to me that oil and gas companies in Canada definitely do not want to

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, we have been talking about Bill C‑59 for a long time, so I will get straight to the point. There are both good things and bad things in the bill. The Bloc Québécois is opposed to it. I think that has been said. I have very strong feelings about one of the reasons

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, my colleague ended his speech by suggesting that the government put things back the way they found them. I have a suggestion for him, and that is to put things back the way they were in the 1960s, 1970s or earlier, before we started seeing rising temperatures and

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, my colleague gave a very down-to-earth presentation describing what the Bloc Québécois had proposed to really help people. When she talked about the billions of dollars going to oil companies compared to what could have been done, she listed a lot of things. She w

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Lethbridge for her speech. Unsurprisingly, she spent a lot of time talking about the carbon tax. Now it is important to look at the objective of pollution pricing. The aim is to get people to change their habits. When too much greenhouse gas

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to Bill C-375, introduced by the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent, who is one of my colleagues on the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. Despite the rhetoric from the member for Niagara Centre, we in the Bloc Québécois

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the minister was quite proud to say that Canada was “the only major oil producer in the world that has proposed putting a cap on these emissions”. The key word here is “proposed” instead of “imposed”. I would remind the minister that he once was more ambi

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, Canada's greenhouse gas emissions increased in 2021-22. That is why the advisory board appointed by the Minister of Environment himself is issuing a warning: Climate policies work when they exist. In other words, they do not work when they do not exist, for example,

Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999  Madam Speaker, Bill C‑380 raises some worrisome doubts about the Conservative Party's position on a policy objective that is in the common interest and that is accepted by all departments of the environment in every province and territory, including Quebec. This bill once again

World Water Day  Mr. Speaker, World Water Day has been held every March 22 since 1992. Canada's geographical area contains 20% of the world's freshwater reserves, while 2.2 billion people live without clean drinking water. We have a collective responsibility to show solidarity in confronting thi

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague spoke about his family at length. From what I understand, this worked for how they saw things in his family. However, I have looked at the statistics, and in Saskatchewan, more than 27% of families are single-parent families. We know that single-parent

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, we are saying no to the Chalk River nuclear waste dump. The federal government cannot condone burying nuclear waste on the banks of the Ottawa River, a source of drinking water for millions of Quebeckers. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission did not listen to Qu

Natural Resources  Madam Speaker, I want to talk about the commission and its approval of the Chalk River project. In its consultations, it forgot to mention that 4.5 million Quebeckers are opposed to this project, as are indigenous communities. It also forgot to mention that one of the commissione
