Food Banks  Mr. Speaker, Christmas is the time to open our hearts and give generously to those in need. Food banks support people of all ages in my riding through different services. Over the past year, there has been an unprecedented demand for those services. Many food banks in the region have seen an over 50% increase in demand and in the number of people using their services, and they have also had to deal with supply problems.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, in a joint announcement with the Government of Quebec on August 6, the government pledged to reconsider its immigration regulations, especially with respect to temporary foreign workers. Businesses will now be allowed to increase the number of temporary foreign workers from 10% to 20%.

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, understanding the Marshall decisions should be the minister's top priority given that this is the government's most important relationship. The minister needs to know that the 1999 fisheries committee report clearly stated that the court confirmed the department's sole authority to regulate the fisheries and did not confer any right to a separate commercial fishery.

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, Fisheries and Oceans Canada's proposed marine protected area east of the Scotian shelf would spell the end of commercial fishing. This plan will put an end to the economic development of halibut, crab and lobster for both indigenous and non‑indigenous fishers. Will the minister stop hurting commercial and indigenous fishers, and will she stop hurting Atlantic Canada's economy?

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate you on your appointment. I have a question for my colleague. All day long, the Liberals have been asking questions about the fact that certain provinces or places have a hybrid Parliament. The Quebec National Assembly is 100% in person, and it is completely safe.

Mental Health  Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise to address the Chair, my colleagues and all Canadians who are watching at home. My deepest sympathies are with the grieving families, friends and colleagues of Jérôme, Vincent, Yannick and Benjamin. I learned earlier this week that a third young man in the Montmagny region took his own life.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is continuing its cover-up by preventing us, the parliamentarians, from getting all the facts about the firing of two scientists from the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. Yesterday, the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons even insulted the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel by stating that he did not have the necessary training or expertise to assess the documents we requested.

Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to request a recorded division.

Transportation  Mr. Speaker, regional airlines have been devastated by the COVID‑19 pandemic. As if that were not bad enough, to add insult to injury, Transport Canada has told Aviation MH, a company in Rivière‑du‑Loup, which is in my riding, to pay $544 just to change its mailing address. Is the Minister of Transport okay with his department exacting its pound of flesh from a hard-hit business just to reprint a certificate that probably costs next to nothing to produce?

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, during question period, in one of the responses we heard from the heritage minister, the sound quality was so poor that I had to remove my earpiece. On top of that, on two occasions, two Bloc Québécois members left their microphones on at certain points, one of them continuously, which I think is totally unacceptable after 14 months of using these technologies.

Persons with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, we knew the Liberals tried to give dead people the vote, but this week we found out they were perfectly willing to send cheques to dead people. That really takes the cake. How can the Prime Minister justify sending $9.2 million in COVID-19 support to dead people? This is unbelievable.

Families, Children and Social Development  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister repeatedly promised not to leave anyone behind. I repeat: not leave anyone behind. As we speak, young mothers who gave birth between the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic are still not eligible for the Canada recovery caregiving benefit because of the rules this government brought in, requiring claimants to already have their child registered for child care.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, Les Viandes du Breton, a business in my riding with more than 600 employees, is in danger of having to cut back its operations or even having to move to the United States if Canada cannot bring in enough temporary foreign workers. There are over 8,000 job vacancies in the food processing industry in Quebec.

Government Programs  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has repeatedly said that he will not let anyone down during this pandemic. Unfortunately, he is letting down young mothers who cannot access the Canada recovery caregiving benefit, the CRCB, because they were unable to enrol their baby in day care between the second and third waves of COVID‑19 so they could return to work.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, six years ago, former justice Marie Deschamps produced a report. The government has done absolutely nothing since then. It just appointed another justice, Louise Arbour, to analyze the situation again even though we already know the findings in the first report. Does my colleague think that the new report will contribute new insight that will change decisions and enable the armed forces to do things differently?
