Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  These all work together, and that is why we are seeing the results we are seeing. Bill C-69's support for these investments comes at a pivotal moment when we can choose to renew and redouble our investments in the economy of the future, to build an economy that is more productive and more competitive, or risk leaving an entire generation behind.

Stopping Internet Sexual Exploitation Act  Then, to wrap up, I will share some of my own thoughts about it. For context for this bill and two others that are being studied, Bill S‑210 and C‑63, it was a newspaper article that sounded the alarm. After the article came out, a House of Commons committee that my esteemed colleague from Laurentides—Labelle sits on looked at the issue.

Stopping Internet Sexual Exploitation Act  For example, our government's bill, Bill C-63, which would enact the online harms act, would achieve many of Bill C-270's objectives. In particular, the online harms act would target seven types of harmful content, including content that sexually victimizes a child or revictimizes a survivor, and intimate content communicated without consent.

International Trade committee  In 2022, B.C. exported over $100 billion worth of goods and services internationally, with almost 80% of those goods being exported to the U.S., China and Japan. Service exports from B.C. have been growing and, in 2022, accounted for over 30% of B.C.'s exports. In B.C., small and medium-sized enterprises, or SMEs, represent 99% of all businesses. However, they accounted for only 26% of our merchandise exports in 2022. Given this reality, we focus on helping small and medium-sized enterprises grow, export and participate in global value chains.

Public Accounts committee  Since we published the budget, they have looked at our numbers, and one of the rating agencies, Moody's, reiterated our AAA rating. S&P; and Fitch also came out with a report saying that the track that we have there of declining debt to GDP was a positive thing, moving forward. Overall, I don't think the investment mood in Canada changed that much following the budget.

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, let me be clear. Today, we said yes to B.C.'s request for an amendment to its pilot project, the pilot program that B.C. asked the federal government to work with it with compassion, conviction, science and health expertise. B.C. knows perfectly well, as do the advocates and families that are part of this project, that we need to have a public health and public safety approach to this to save lives.

Mental Health and Addictions  Sixty-six people died, on average, while we waited for the Prime Minister to make a decision on B.C.'s request. The government dithered and people died. The government did not even go as far as it could have in getting rid of its aggressive, radical and wacko legalization of hard drugs.

Finance committee  MP Hallan, because some members have S. O. 31s, etc., we'll now suspend. We'll be back later in the afternoon.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  We are one of only three or four countries in the world that has a AAA credit rating from two agencies. The United States does not have a AAA credit rating from S&P;, I believe. The report says this is “underpinned by its high economic strength and very strong institutions and governance.” As I read further in the release, it says, “these factors provide Canada with a strong foundation for future growth and a very high degree of economic resiliency to potential shocks, supported by robust monetary, macroeconomic and fiscal policy frameworks”, which is stuff I like to read about a lot.

Public Safety committee  All comments should be addressed through the Chair. I would now like to welcome our witnesses and the person who is the sponsor of Bill S-210—

Canada-China Relations committee  To be perfectly honest, from my perspective, we do not, in fact, have forced labour legislation. Bill S-211 was a bill brought forward that basically says corporations or companies have to tell us if they think there is forced labour within their supply chains, but there are no implications on that.

Health committee  We asked Health Canada to appear before the committee. We had the experts who I think were behind approving B.C.'s request, and they seemed to be in favour of safe supply. They themselves admitted that there wasn't very good evidence for the benefits of safe supply. I would note the B.C. health officer, in a review of prescribed safer supply, said: Most of the limited published peer-reviewed studies lack a control or comparison group and the actual intervention received by study participants is in most cases a combination of broader access to wrap around health services including [safe supply]...and primary care, making it difficult to attribute any benefits to PSS alone.

Natural Resources committee  I'm on your Stats Canada website here, and it says that, in 2021, 2.3% were battery electric vehicle sales and in 2022 it rose to 3%. Electric Autonomy Canada, in a report produced by S&P; Global, cited that zero-emission new car sales were at 11.7%. That includes battery only and hybrid models. That's a combined 11.7% of new car sales in 2023. The minister told us here before that “one in five” vehicles sold in 2023 were zero-emission vehicles.

Public Safety committee  I would like now to welcome our witnesses. We have the sponsor of Bill S-210 in the Senate, the Honourable Julie Miville-Dechêne, senator. We have Jérôme Lussier, director of parliamentary affairs from the office of Senator Miville-Dechêne. Our colleague MP Karen Vecchio, who was the sponsor of the bill in the House, was scheduled to appear this afternoon.
