Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act  Mr. Speaker, for almost three years now, our party has been actively fighting for a single tax return for Quebec. Our position goes back a long time. For a political party like ours, which respects provincial jurisdiction, listening to the provinces and collaborating with them i

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, when I began my career in politics, I was a member of the Standing Committee on National Defence and we talked a lot about Operation Honour. The purpose of this operation was to enable women to proudly serve in the Canadian Armed Forces in an inclusive and respectfu

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, this government is not being transparent. We never get any real answers. Enough with the cover-ups. The question is very clear. When was the Prime Minister made aware of the allegations against General Vance?

Fisheries and Oceans  Madam Speaker, last week the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans announced that, from now on, indigenous fishers would have to keep to the same fishing seasons as traditional fishers in the Maritimes and Quebec. There was a public outcry to this announcement in all of the coastal co

Health  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government excels at the art of doing things in half measures. It was late in closing the borders. It was late in ordering vaccines and now it is late in tabling a budget. The fact that the Liberals are late tabling a budget creates even more uncertainty

Health  Mr. Speaker, our leader has already promised to increase health transfers. The Prime Minister summarily rejected the provinces' recent demands in that area, claiming that he would look into it after the pandemic. The provinces need those health transfers now. Could the Prime Min

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, it is quite simple: The safety of our citizens is currently at risk. That is more important than anything else. The Liberals' plan is not working at all. The government has failed on all counts. I am thinking now of the women who were assaulted and I cannot believe

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Prime Minister did not seem too concerned about the situation he created in quarantine hotels. As though it were not bad enough that people have to wait on the phone for days and hotel staff are overwhelmed, now there have been cases of assault. That

Health  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has a real genius for announcing poorly designed policies. The Prime Minister recently announced new quarantine measures for travellers, but they are not working. People cannot come back to Canada unless they have a hotel reservation. They are

Health  Mr. Speaker, we understand that it is best not to travel, but there are Canadians who need to come back home. It is the government's job to implement suitable measures to ensure that all Canadian citizens can return in a safe and orderly manner. Unfortunately, what is happening i

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, instead of focusing on the pandemic and getting Canadians vaccinated, the Liberals decided to introduce Bill C-21 last week, once again hurting law-abiding gun owners. Worse still, in the same week, they introduced a bill to reduce prison sentences for criminals who

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Madam Speaker, today marks the start of an advertising campaign for dairy, poultry and egg processors. Since 2015, these groups have been waiting for government compensation as a result of the free trade agreement with Europe and the TPP. The Liberals have had six years to honou

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Madam Speaker, if I were a member of the Liberal government, I would be embarrassed to repeat the same thing week after week. I wonder if the Liberals even believe what they are saying. The new Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement was signed last year. How long will it take to

Health  Mr. Speaker, the fact is that the Prime Minister chose China to develop a vaccine instead of supporting Canadian companies. We ultimately lost the deal with China, we lost our intellectual property and the government wound up behind in its other negotiations. The Prime Minister h

Health  Mr. Speaker, the government can keep insisting that Canada will receive six million doses by March 31, but it is already behind schedule. What is more, those six million doses are only a fraction of what we need. People are dying because of bad management and a vaccine supply sho
