Health  Mr. Speaker, in his latest economic update, the Prime Minister threw the provinces a bone and announced $1 billion for long-term care homes. That $1 billion has a whole bunch of unacceptable strings attached. It is outright federal interference. The provinces are capable of admin

Health  Mr. Speaker, after days of being questioned by our party, the Liberals hastily tracked down a few vaccines for Canadians, but again, it is a fraction of what we need. We know that the Canadian Armed Forces will be involved in the vaccination effort. Many of these soldiers are fr

Health  Mr. Speaker, things are going so well in Canada that several provinces are thinking of reviewing their lockdown measures. We will never have an economic recovery as long as people are not immunized against the virus. Canadians deserve certainty, clarity and competence from their

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, there is nothing of substance behind the government's talk of a white paper. The Liberals have been promising official languages reform for five years now. Let the record show that nothing has been done and nothing is being done. What has it been doing for the past

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, I was pleasantly surprised. Following our questions yesterday, we were finally able to move our motion before the Standing Committee on Official Languages, after many weeks of obstruction by the Liberals. The bill on the modernization of official languages must be i

Marc-André Bédard  Mr. Speaker, this morning, Quebec lost a great man, and Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean lost a giant. Marc-André Bédard, former minister of Justice and René Lévesque’s right-hand man, died at the age of 85. He was a formidable politician, a brilliant lawyer and a skilled orator. His val

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, the work of the Standing Committee on Official Languages has been at a complete standstill for the past five meetings. Recently, we were not able to move a motion. We are wasting time with the Liberals. The Senate, the Commissioner of Official Languages and the organ

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Official Languages would like Canadians to believe that the French language is important. Can she explain why her Liberal colleagues are obstructing and paralyzing the Standing Committee on Official Languages? This has prevented us from introducing a

Justice  Mr. Speaker, I have five names: Robert M. Dysant, Arthur T. Doyle, Charles LeBlond, Tracey K. DeWare and Marie-Claude Bélanger-Richard. What these people have in common is that they were all appointed as judges in New Brunswick and they are all friends of the Liberal member for

Justice  Mr. Speaker, just recently, another lawyer, Philippe Bélanger, was appointed to the bench. The scoop is that he was not friends with the member for Beauséjour, but he was friends with the Minister of Justice and had donated close to $10,000 to the Liberal Party. Should we be surp

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the process is supposedly transparent and relies on a committee that includes important figures from the legal community. That very committee suggested an experienced lawyer from Quebec. A judge even supported the candidate, and she met all the criteria, except for

Justice  Mr. Speaker, yesterday I asked questions about the government blindly trusting compromised information. It seems that the Liberal government is not very concerned about compromised institutions. Today, Democracy Watch announced that it has filed a lawsuit against the government'

Justice  Mr. Speaker, in May 2019, Democracy Watch gave this very government an F in transparency. The president of the Canadian Bar Association has asked that changes be made to the judicial selection process to prevent partisan manipulation. The minister's office refuses to comment be

Health  Mr. Speaker, the forces of the Chinese Communist Party are at work and are threatening the Government of Canada. By blindly trusting compromised information, the government is putting Canadians' lives at risk. It did not listen to Canadian experts, it cut funding for the Global

Health  Mr. Speaker, the Chinese Communist Party is working relentlessly to expand its economic, military and diplomatic spheres of influence. The extent of its influence came into sharper focus recently as we confronted the global pandemic that originated in China. The World Health Org
