Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the leader of the official opposition used the word “clown” a few minutes ago. That is interesting. Why would he not eliminate oil profits and subsidies? That is a matter for another time. We still have at least a year. In the meantime, we have to get back to what h

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the government is going to move forward without taking the necessary action. Meanwhile, because it took five days before the government even thought about doing something, Russia, India and China, none of which are friends to the government or to Canada in general, b

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, everyone must do more at all times to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the temptation to shift this responsibility to individuals is potentially rather regrettable because it removes some of the responsibility from those who are the biggest emitters. I would r

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I find that very interesting. In 1999, I went to Vancouver for four days. This means that I know as much about British Columbia as the Conservative leader knows about Quebec. I do not claim to know British Columbia. I say that with no malice whatsoever. I do not s

Business of Supply  In other words, Madam Speaker, how old is the captain? That is nonsense, but it is not entirely unexpected. The member wants to do the math, so let me just say that it is $5,000 per capita. That makes me want to say, “It is scandalous”.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to start by saying that I have the pleasure of sharing my time with my esteemed colleague, the hon. member for Jonquière. Next, I want to quickly thank our Conservative friends. They have given us an amazing opportunity to expose their battle tactics. In my

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister did not call Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He said he went through diplomatic channels. He did not call a meeting with Canada's Jewish community. Three days have gone by. What has the Prime Minister been doing for the past three days? The Prime Minister us

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, we all agree that this is unacceptable, but it did not take us all five days to realize that an apology was needed. I am formally asking the Prime Minister to call Volodymyr Zelenskyy and apologize to him on Canada's behalf. I am asking him start coordinating an eff

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, in 2020, a teacher was beheaded in the south of France and it took two weeks for the Prime Minister to call President Macron. Is the same thing going to happen now or will he call President Zelenskyy? This is totally unacceptable. If I may, I want to apologize to P

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I also want the Jewish community of Quebec and Canada to know how ashamed and sorry I am. I want to apologize to them as well and offer my full co-operation. I want to know whether the Prime Minister personally did the same and whether he met with representatives of

Foreign Affairs  Better late than never, Mr. Speaker. I commend the Prime Minister for his decision to acquiesce to the repeated requests that he apologize to Parliament and well beyond. His description of the leader of the official opposition is not bad either. However, I would like to know whe

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, it is distressing because that was the first thing that should have been done. I understand from the Prime Minister's response that he has not called President Zelenskyy, who is the biggest victim of this terrible mistake after Jewish communities. Can he correct th

Nazism  Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties and if you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That the House: (i) utterly condemn Nazism in all its forms, (ii) express its full solidarity with all victims of Nazism, pas

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, it is less about the form and more about the substance, but if the leader of the official opposition and I agree on something, it must be because it is so evident. The Prime Minister did not make the mistake, but he is responsible for fixing it, as head of government

Guests in the House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, six questions later, I can hardly believe that the leader of the government in the House of Commons has failed to understand that the responsibility of the Speaker of the House and the responsibility of the Prime Minister of Canada are two separate things in such mat
