Information & Ethics committee  Yes, of course. We have prepared the training that all new MPs must take after each election. It will be offered on the House of Commons Source system in the coming months. We've also talked about doing the same thing, or almost the same thing, with the act. When we did our

It's a sales pitch. I find it very difficult to accept the way the government has acted. We're working in good faith. I'm

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my Green Party colleague for his excellent speech. This has happened in politics before. Consider the Parti Québécois. Only three Parti Québécois members were elected in the last election. Now, less than a year later, it is leading in the polls
