Standing Orders and Procedure of the House and Its Committees  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Calgary Rocky Ridge for his speech. I believe that there are some things we agree on with respect to the hybrid Parliament. I found the points he raised to be very interesting. I would like to ask him a question about constituents. We often hear about the advantages or disadvantages for elected members of voting from home, as though it were a video game.

Standing Orders and Procedure of the House and Its Committees  Madam Speaker, I wonder if we have quorum. And the count having been taken:

Health  Mr. Speaker, the French interpretation was not available.

Bank of Canada Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to know if there is quorum.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to know if there is a quorum.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I also thank my colleague from the NDP who spoke earlier. I would have liked him to go further. He talked about transparency, as well as the need to show scientific evidence and to provide an update. We need to go even further.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister refuses to close Roxham Road on the pretext that that is not the solution because irregular migrants “will cross elsewhere”. Yes, they will cross elsewhere. They will cross at the border crossings. That is what they did before the safe third country agreement.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, that is exactly the problem. The border is long and people can cross wherever they want to, even though they should be going through official border crossings. If we suspended the safe third country agreement, migrants would be redirected to the 117 border crossings across Canada, instead of converging to cross at Roxham Road, as 92% of them are doing.

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Madam Speaker, I could also say that I have good intentions while introducing a bill, for example, to lower gas prices. There is nothing in Bill C‑13. The government sees, accepts, says and commits to saying that there is asymmetry. However, the text does not reflect that, since it does not contain asymmetrical measures.

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Madam Speaker, we simply want this bill not to apply to Quebec. That would be the best thing to do.

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Madam Speaker, I could not agree more with my colleague. In all the notes I prepare for my speeches, I am always tempted to remind members of that early and absolutely useless election that cost all Quebeckers and Canadians time. We are now starting over again, discussing bills that we could have tackled back then.

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Madam Speaker, I would like to say from the outset that French in Quebec and outside Quebec is alive and well. In the House, I sometimes get the impression from some speeches that French is being dismissed as a dying language. People have brought up certain monuments from the past.

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, as someone who wants to take the time to do things properly and to consult, can my hon. colleague tell me why none of the Government of Quebec's requests were accommodated in this new version of the bill?

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I always like hearing what he has to say. He concluded his speech on China by talking about greenhouse gas emission rates. He said that Canada produces 1.6% of greenhouse gas emissions, while China produces 27%. I would like to bring to my colleague's attention to the fact that the entire world did not experience the industrial revolution at the same time.

30th Anniversary of Aluminerie Alouette  Mr. Speaker, this year, the largest aluminum manufacturing company in the Americas is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Aluminerie Alouette is a source of pride on the North Shore, a jewel for Quebec and the perfect example of how it is possible to be a major, environmentally responsible business on a human scale.
