[Fisheries Act, May 10th, 2021]

Madam Speaker, there is no French interpretation.

[Canada Elections Act, May 7th, 2021]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her presentation.

I did not hear her speak about voting in seniors' residences. I would like her to comment on that.

[Business of Supply, May 4th, 2021]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charlesfor his presentation.

First of all, I can say that the Bloc Quebecois will vote against this motion. It is not up to the House of Commons to manage the Prime Minister's Office. Assigning the blame for the inaction of the Minister of National Defence and the Prime Minister to an employee would create a dangerous precedent. Why try to assign the blame to an employee who is only following her boss' orders?

[Business of Supply, April 29th, 2021]

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Montcalm for his presentation.

I would like him to tell us more about the impact that the lack of health transfers has had on our ability to distribute vaccines and implement a more comprehensive strategy.

[Business of Supply, April 29th, 2021]

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Calgary Nose Hill.

She expressed her demands, but I want to point out that vaccination is going well in Quebec. We are sorry to see that it is proceeding more slowly in the rest of Canada.

Given the vaccine shortage, does she believe we need to maintain social distancing measures to stop the spread of this epidemic?

We need even stricter border measures. The numbers do not lie. What are her thoughts on that?

[Standing Orders of the House, April 27th, 2021]

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Etobicoke North for her speech.

I agree that the pandemic has highlighted how little Canadian governments have prioritized science and research over the years. I would like to know if the need for independence in research is a priority for her government.

[Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, April 23rd, 2021]

Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague for her excellent speech. That is a great idea.

I would like to once again point out that seniors are the ones affected by these kinds of events. I would like my colleague to explain what happens with drug coverage and life insurance in such cases.

[The Budget, April 22nd, 2021]

Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Richmond Hill for his presentation.

Let me get back to child care. We know that Quebec is a pioneer in child care services, which were first put in place by Pauline Marois. Like the Finance Minister today, she too shattered the glass ceiling. Women do politics differently.

Since Quebec already has a child care system, will the Liberals agree to provide the province compensation without conditions?

[The Budget, April 22nd, 2021]

Madam Speaker, like my female colleagues, I would like to point out that this is the first budget tabled by a woman. I am happy about that, because it shattered the glass ceiling.

I was very happy with the member's presentation, because it felt like we had one more Bloc Québécois member on the floor. In fact, his point of view is identical to the Bloc Québécois' stance on health transfers and the situation of seniors aged 65 and over.

Is my colleague aware that, by voting against the health transfers yesterday, the Conservative Party was inconsistent and showed a lack of long-term vision regarding the positive impact of these transfers on the economy? I took the liberty of paraphrasing my colleague from Beauport—Limoilou.

[The Budget, April 22nd, 2021]

Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Scarborough—Guildwood for his speech.

These are huge and unprecedented expenditures. Let us remember that this spending comes on top of Ottawa's deficits.

Moreover, the government is investing very little in health transfers and support for seniors.

Could the member comment on that?
