Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her heartfelt intervention. I think that we agree that on this December 6, we have to work on addressing violence against women. Listening to my colleague talk reminds me that there is a direct link between poverty and violence against women.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, we are here to debate a record number of gag orders for a minority government. That is a big deal. We all recall how Parliament was prorogued in the summer of 2020. The election that was called in the midst of the pandemic did not change anything. We traded four quarters for a dollar.

École polytechnique de Montréal  Madam Speaker, 33 years ago, on December 6, 1989, a man entered the École Polytechnique in Montreal and murdered 14 women simply because they were women. We have not forgotten Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault and Annie Turcotte.

Sports  Madam Speaker, I would have liked to hear the parliamentary secretary admit in the answer he gave me this evening that the government will think about the request of parliamentarians, who are unanimous about the fact that these athletes must be given a voice. It is the Minister of Sport's responsibility to look into the management of sexual assault and sexual misconduct in sports for the good of the public.

Sports  Madam Speaker, I am grateful for the time that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Sport and I have been given to discuss and revisit the need to launch a public judicial inquiry into the toxic culture in sport. My colleague might not be indifferent to this idea of bringing together athletes and experts in the culture of sport around an issue that seems to me more topical than ever.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. As a member of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, I too am thinking of the families of the victims, the indigenous women and girls who have disappeared. There was another case recently in Winnipeg. Such a tragedy. My colleague spoke about dental care for seniors.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Beauport—Limoilou for her excellent speech. I would like to follow up on the question asked by my colleague from Winnipeg North. I always find it fascinating to hear him talk about seniors. It is really something else. It is all well and good to talk about a credit for a multi-generational home, but if seniors do not have the income necessary to stay at home, that will not happen.

Federal Framework on Autism Spectrum Disorder Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by mentioning Mathieu Caron, a man from Sherbrooke whose podcast helped me better understand what it is like to be an adult living with autism. Hi Mathieu. Today I am talking about Bill S-203, which would provide for the development of a federal framework designed to support autistic Canadians, their families and their caregivers.

Federal Framework on Autism Spectrum Disorder Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very moving speech. In my personal experience, I had the good fortune of being involved with a magnificent youth hostel, and the people who helped us during the day were people on the autism spectrum. What a fantastic experience it was.

International Day for the Abolition of Slavery  Mr. Speaker, December 2 is the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery. It is a grim reminder that, even now, in 2022, this problem still exists. Slavery has not been relegated to the history books; it remains a chilling reality to this day. According to the International Labour Organization, over 40 million people around the world are currently victims of forced labour.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, before I was elected, I worked in Quebec as a project manager responsible for raising awareness of elder abuse and bullying. I can confirm that Quebec already has a comprehensive action plan and is working very hard on the issue of abuse. My colleague mentioned the armed forces.

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague. It is an honour to work with her at the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. We are currently working on a study she proposed on the impact of resource development on indigenous women and girls, which is an important issue. For both our study and Bill C‑29, how can we make sure that we are working collaboratively, nation to nation, with indigenous communities and various levels of government, to draw on best practices and what is being done well in Quebec, the provinces and the territories, while steering clear of overlap in terms of jurisdiction?

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Manicouagan for her speech. As the critic for seniors, I was touched that she mentioned them in her speech and that she addressed the issue of indigenous women and girls. Bill C-29 deals with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action.

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Mr. Speaker, I am sorry to interrupt my colleague, but there is no interpretation.

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, a study by the AQDR and the Observatoire québécois des inégalités shows that half of seniors do not have the income necessary to live in dignity, and we are not just talking about seniors aged 75 and over. These numbers do not even take into account the record inflation that is currently affecting the cost of groceries and housing.
