Main Estimates 2024-25  Madam Speaker, my colleague talked about many things, obviously, including international trade. He talked about the importance of improving our performance in international trade and increasing our markets. That is good. There is Canada's Indo-Pacific strategy. I think it is important to make every effort to diversify our markets.

Main Estimates 2024-25  Mr. Speaker, in his speech, the member talked a lot about housing, massive investments and connections with the municipalities. Is he aware that, in Quebec at least, the money for municipalities has to go through Quebec? It is a law that exists in Quebec. Is he aware that Ottawa imposing conditions, trying to set requirements and starting to get involved in municipal zoning, when it is so far from local communities, makes no sense?

Main Estimates 2024-25  Mr. Speaker, I was impatient because I was so excited to answer. What a great question. I am certainly getting spoiled this evening. We are not against pharmacare. Let us ask these union representatives the question and give them the choice. Let us tell them this: The federal government is increasing health transfers and we can put more money into our Quebec pharmacare program, which has been around for many years and which should serve as a model and inspiration for Canada, instead of having Canada come in once again to crush our system with its pan-Canadian version.

Main Estimates 2024-25  Mr. Speaker, it is funny that he should mention that, because I raised it earlier in the day. I do not know if he heard my speech. What I would like to say is that we have two choices. We have a bill that has been amended by the Senate. We can choose to accept the amendments and immediately give our grain producers a win, since they would be able to get the exemption this fall, and then do something different for the rest of the buildings.

Main Estimates 2024-25  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with my distinguished colleague from Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques. That is unfortunate though, because I have so much to say. I am going to break free from the populist, accusatory cycle where each person accuses another of having done this or that.

Main Estimates 2024-25  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the minister a question on a topic she is quite familiar with because of her former role. What does she think about the budget being allocated to defence across the country? As a member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Canada should theoretically be investing 2% of its GDP in defence, but that is not happening.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am going to repeat my colleague's last sentence. He said that if we do not measure, there is no result. He is right. We have to measure. If there is one thing the Conservatives are right about today, it is that we need information. We voiced our agreement right from the start.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am going to try to show restraint. This is astounding. I hope my colleague has put his earpiece in to understand what I am about to say. The Bank of Canada has analyzed the impact of the carbon tax, and it is 0.02%. The carbon tax has a very minimal impact on Quebec.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for making an effort to speak French. I would say that every elected member could make the effort to properly read the documents they are given. The Bloc Québécois is the third-largest political party, and we have a whole research department.
