Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the overheated housing market does differ from one city to the next. We can all agree that Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and the regions of Quebec do not all have the same problems. Using a single pan-Canadian measure to address all of the country's challenges is therefore a bad idea.

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his excellent question, which allows me to mention that, unfortunately, there are not enough child care spaces. This system is fundamental. It was introduced by the Parti Québécois, which is a sovereignist party. Everyone knows that all the positive measures in Quebec are driven by sovereignist parties.

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I want to inform the House that I will be sharing my time with my esteemed colleague, the member for Longueuil—Saint-Hubert. Today we are debating Bill C‑19, a massive, 500-page bill that contains a little of everything. This bill could be considered an omnibus bill.

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I was saying that, even though the Bloc is in favour of the principle of the bill, many of the measures described in Bill C‑19 could do with being fleshed out. That is what we will do in committee. My colleague, the member for Joliette, will make sure that every measure in the bill is examined and scrutinized so it can be passed with due diligence.

Budget Implementation Act, 2022, No. 1  Madam Speaker, Terrebonne is a magnificent riding, and I hope you will visit us very soon. I thank the Deputy Prime Minister for her speech. We agree in principle with several of the measures proposed in Bill C-19. However, I have an important question to ask her. On March 4, we sent a letter to the Deputy Prime Minister concerning the semiconductor shortage.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague, with whom I have the pleasure of sitting on the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. My response will be brief. No, I do not think that carbon capture and storage is the solution. The problem is not just emissions, but production as well.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my esteemed colleague for making a real effort to speak in French. I encourage her to continue speaking French in the House because the French language is very important in Canada. I completely agree with her. I think it is quite unfortunate that the government is not increasing the Canada health transfers.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. I also thank him for agreeing that we are doing quite well in Quebec. We are already supporting the purchase of electric vehicles. That measure was financed by Quebeckers' taxes. Hydro-Québec has done a lot of work. As usual, Hydro-Québec financed the work with our own money and without the federal government's help.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I would first like to thank my colleague for sharing her time with me. This year, I was fortunate enough to be one of the privileged members of Parliament who participated in an in camera review of the budget before other members and prior to the minister's speech.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He very eloquently and approvingly mentioned the system of early childhood centres that was created by our leader's mentor, among others. My colleague's speech made it clear that Quebec was single-handedly able to use its own resources to build a system that is favourable and very helpful to our economy.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague for his question. Unfortunately, I believe that the government will do what it usually does. Before the next election, it will promise a pittance but will fail to address the fundamental issue, which is that Quebec must decide for itself, particularly when it comes to health care, and that the money, which is ultimately ours, must be returned to Quebec.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the first question is perhaps the easiest. The way things are going with the current government and its proposals, there will definitely still be a flourishing oil industry in Canada. However, this is not the right objective to set if we want a greener, fairer and more equitable future.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for this easy question. Having worked on the report published by the Ouranos group several years ago, which talked about the cost of climate change in Quebec, I would say that climate change is indeed very costly for society. There are certainly health costs associated with climate change, and some diseases are a direct result.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking the hon. member for Mirabel for sharing his time with me. These days are particularly important. Obviously, they are quite extraordinary, given the current context. Two years ago, our country closed its borders, implemented health measures and entered the pandemic era.

Office of the Auditor General of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the work of the Office of the Auditor General of Canada is vital in a democracy. Its employees provide Parliament with the truth about the government's spending, probity and effectiveness. Employees in its audit services group, three-quarters of whom are women, have been without a contract since 2018.
