National Strategy on Flood and Drought Forecasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague, whom I hold in high esteem, for his speech. My question is quite simple: How does he think this bill is going to improve coordination among the various stakeholders who manage weather forecasts? Is this bill really going to improve things for them?

Democratic Institutions  Madam Speaker, the Liberals promised that the Hogue commission would have access to all the information on foreign interference. In her report, however, Justice Hogue criticizes the Liberals for withholding information. The Prime Minister's Office sends her redacted documents. It even hides entire documents.

Electoral Participation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I know he worked very hard last night to prepare it. Although many of the measures in this bill are generally aligned with our vision of democracy, there is still one very problematic element. Pushing back the date of the federal election by a week would mean that it would take place just six days before municipal elections which, in Quebec, are also very important.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, in his speech, my hon. colleague talked a lot about inefficiency, for example, in the way this program was communicated. Could he also tell us how little confidence he has in this federal program in general, particularly with respect to how it is organized and how it is being rolled out?

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, my question is simple, but at the same time I think it is rather complex because I have never gotten a clear answer from the federal government. Why does the government think that it is better placed to understand the needs of Quebeckers than the Government of Quebec, which administers a pharmacare program that has been around for many years?

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, my question is rather simple. If the member believes in respecting jurisdictions and can talk about the pharmacare that exists in several provinces of Canada, then why did his party vote against the Bloc Québécois' proposed amendment to the budget? That amendment sought to require the government to respect jurisdictions in its budget, including Quebec's jurisdictions.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, I will simply answer with a piece of advice. Why does the member not just go talk to the National Assembly and explain to its members how pharmacare would work for Quebec? I am sorry, I forgot, they already offered. How did the National Assembly respond? It told the NDP to mind its own business.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his wonderful and inspiring question. Respect for jurisdictions is important, of course. Unfortunately, I would still like to remind the House that when we moved a motion to respect jurisdictions, his party voted against it. I find that really unfortunate.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, I really liked the premise of my colleague's question. I noticed that he said that Ontario has a program and that Quebec has a great program. I would like to congratulate him on recognizing the quality of Quebec's program. If the Ontario program is meant to be the same, then members from Ontario should vote in favour of respecting jurisdictions next time.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, I do not think that any Quebecker is really trying to decide between filling their fridge or paying for an IUD. It would be good if every contraceptive method was covered. Obviously, we are in favour of contraceptives being covered, but it is up to Quebec alone to decide whether or not they will be covered.

Pharmacare Act  Mr. Speaker, we are here to debate Bill C-64 at third reading. It will come as no surprise to anyone when I say that the Bloc Québécois will be voting against this bill. I am the last person from the Bloc Québécois who will be rising today to speak to this bill on pharmacare. We will soon be voting on it and we will see whether it passes.

Business of Supply  The answer is: absolutely. Every time the federal government has transferred funds to Quebec, the problem has naturally been solved. Quebec was one of the forerunners in terms of high connectivity in the regions and in terms of cellular connection. The less the federal government touches provincial and Quebec issues, the better off the provinces are.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question. Maybe if I said the words “tax” and “carbon”, they would finally have a reason to stand up and speak, but today we are talking about something else that should be top of mind for them, and that is Quebec. I think that party believes it can take power by completely ignoring the needs of Quebeckers.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. This is a good example of what the Constitution says. There was no Internet when the Constitution was created, when the federal system was created. All new powers belong to the federal government, and for once, the government acted with respect for jurisdictions.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Drummond for warming up the room. It feels like enthusiasm for respecting jurisdictions has reached a fever pitch. I have a question for him about the legitimacy of the Liberal government's intrusion into Quebec's jurisdictions, knowing that it received a minority mandate.
