[The Environment, February 5th, 2026]

Mr. Speaker, it is official: The Prime Minister is suffering from amnesia; he is the Professor Calculus of the climate crisis.

We all remember that, in his previous life, the Prime Minister was the UN special envoy on climate action and finance. He even headed the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, but he seems to have forgotten that. Not only is he backtracking on the emissions cap for the oil and gas sector, not only is he prepared to authorize a new pipeline, but now we learn that the Canada pension plan is injecting $7 billion into new fossil-fuel assets. That is the complete opposite of what he used to advocate, and it is what we call flip-flopping and betraying people's trust.

How can we convince banks and investment firms to turn their backs on oil and gas in order to comply with the Paris Agreement when the Liberal government is doing the exact opposite?

I know there are Liberal members who want a green tax system. Now is the time to stand up and denounce the deadly direction of this government, which is headed for disaster at full speed.

[International Development, February 3rd, 2026]

Mr. Speaker, the need for nutrition, education, health care and equal rights, particularly for women, has never been so acute around the world, but Donald Trump has decided to abolish USAID, the international aid agency.

This senseless decision will cause suffering for millions of people. What are the Liberals doing? They are doing the same thing: making cuts. This is a cruel decision that will have a real impact and increase both instability and insecurity.

Will the Liberals reconsider this irresponsible decision?

[Climate Change, December 10th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, many families will soon be gathering together for Christmas dinner. What kind of conversations will there be around the dinner table? People will be talking about how they are disappointed in this Liberal government. Not only have the Liberals done nothing to bring down the cost of groceries or housing, but it is plain to see that they have given up the fight against climate change. Even the former environment minister is now saying that Canada's climate goals are unachievable.

This government is headed straight for disaster and it is abandoning future generations. It is going to leave them a broken climate and a planet on fire.

I have one simple question: Will the Liberals apologize to our children?

[Immigration, December 10th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, at Maisonnette des parents, we celebrated the newly acquired citizenship of nearly 200 people in Rosemont—La Petite‑Patrie. It was a time for sharing and discussion. It was an opportunity to learn more about each person's background, their reasons for coming to Quebec, their language learning, their family situation, their job, their education and the administrative nonsense that they had to deal with. It is touching to see the tremendous efforts that these people are making to learn French, integrate and participate in their new community.

We have been holding these get-togethers for years, but, lately, these people have been bringing up new questions. They want to know why political parties and commentators are badmouthing them, why some people are pointing the finger at immigrants and blaming them for the housing, school and health care crises. They are wondering why some people are being discriminated against because of their clothing and they are wondering whether they are truly welcome here.

As parliamentarians, we have a responsibility to recognize the contributions that immigrants make to our society, to defend their rights and to build an inclusive society where everyone has their place.

[Foreign Affairs, November 20th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, while the Prime Minister is in the United Arab Emirates, horrific massacres are being committed in Sudan. The Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, supplied with weapons by the United Arab Emirates, have killed thousands of civilians, and Canadian weapons are reportedly being used in these atrocities.

Canada exports millions of dollars worth of arms to the United Arab Emirates. Will the Prime Minister halt these arms shipments and suspend Canadian defence co-operation with that country until it stops supporting the RSF in Sudan? Or will Canada remain complicit in another horrific war?

[Export and Import Permits Act, November 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Vancouver East on this important bill.

Canada is also a signatory to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. With the American loophole, which allows Canadian weapons to flow through the United States and then to be sold to the Netanyahu regime, does my colleague not think that Canada and the Liberal government could find themselves in a situation where they could be accused of being complicit in genocide?

[Export and Import Permits Act, November 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Vancouver East on this extremely important initiative.

Canada is also a signatory to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Because of the American loophole, which allows weapons to be sold to the United States and then end up in Israel, Canada could be complicit in genocide—

[Making Life More Affordable for Canadians Act, November 19th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, I listened to my Liberal colleague across the way. The student jobs with the Canada summer jobs program are interesting. However, when the government cuts 40,000 positions from the public service, even through attrition and voluntary departures, that means 40,000 fewer positions for young people who want to enter the labour market and have good union jobs as well.

What does he think of that?

[Housing, November 17th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the housing crisis is affecting people everywhere in Quebec. Rent has gone up 16% in three years. There has never been so much homelessness on our streets. People are being forced to stay in substandard housing because they cannot afford to move. The Liberals, however, are planning to spend six times more on the army than on affordable housing.

Are the Liberals prepared to make a commitment and invest specific, substantial amounts in co-operative, social and community housing?
