Shelter for Homeless Youth  Mr. Speaker, we have all seen the devastating impact of the pandemic on the most vulnerable in our society. The plight of the homeless has especially resonated with us, and the lack of resources for those without a fixed address has come to light. We have also witnessed the important work being done for the homeless by workers on the ground who are tireless, creative and compassionate.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, Bill C-7, which amends the Canadian framework for medical assistance in dying, is the result of a detailed consultation process involving over 300,000 Canadians, including health care professionals, people with disabilities and caregivers. The deadline set by the courts to pass Bill C-7 is quickly approaching.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I would like to continue the discussion we were having earlier about the good work that is being done back home in Quebec. I had the pleasure of working in health care for part of my career. I always noticed that we collaborated not only with professionals and administrators from Quebec, but also with those from other provinces.

Gender-Based Violence  Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of a yearly 16-day international campaign against gender-based violence that ends on December 6, the day of the sad anniversary of the events at École Polytechnique in Montreal. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the excellent work done on the ground by the thousands of community organizations across the country to counter gender-based violence.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, once again, I thank my colleague for her wonderful speech, which gives us an opportunity to explore this worthwhile topic. My region managed quite well, even though it is no better off than other regions, so I think that is something to look into. I recently learned that my colleague was involved in managing these services.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for bringing up that area of health care. I do not want to say it is neglected because if we neglect our teeth, we will find out about it very soon. My brother has been a dentist for 40 years. His first 10 years of practice were here in Ottawa working in a provincial clinic where he was providing dental care for people of low incomes and vulnerable people.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, our colleagues' questions are always the most difficult ones to answer, are they not? In all sincerity, the announcement that we heard yesterday was very well received by the people in my region. As I said, my region could be a model for long-term care home management.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite for her question. I also thank her for mentioning the quality of care in the long-term care homes in my riding. We are very proud of the good work they have consistently done, which has been even clearer during the pandemic. I was very happy to participate in conference calls with all the stakeholders in my region in the early days of the pandemic and with elected officials at all levels of government.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, first of all, I wish to take this opportunity to thank and salute all the health care workers in my riding of Châteauguay—Lacolle. They do amazing work on the ground, in CLSCs and at Hôpital Anna-Laberge. Since March, Quebeckers and the Government of Quebec have taken individual and collective measures to slow and contain the spread of COVID-19.

Small Business  Madam Speaker, since the beginning of the pandemic, entrepreneurs in my riding have been telling me about the challenges they are facing. Thanks to our work together, I know that many of them have been able to access emergency assistance that has helped them to maintain a number of jobs.

Universal Broadband Fund  Mr. Speaker, I would like to emphasize the importance of the announcement made by our government concerning the universal broadband fund. The enhancement of this fund will have a major positive impact on the quality of life of many Canadians and thousands of people in Châteauguay—Lacolle alone.

Bills of Exchange Act  Mr. Speaker, it was a pleasure to hear my colleague speaking on this important topic today. I know that he shares my love of history, of education and of understanding our heritage, especially when, as he so aptly put it, we were not there. On the question of how we, the 95%, can learn, I wonder if my colleague is aware of the different funding programs that are available at Canadian Heritage.

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her very moving speech. I really got a sense of her friend's sadness, but also her courage, and that of her friend's family, as she shared their story. Five years ago, I served on the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying. We were inspired by how this issue evolved in Quebec, and I even remember attending a meeting with Véronique Hivon and Pierre Moreau.

Small Businesses  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to acknowledge Small Business Week and highlight the creativity and collaboration that small businesses have shown since the beginning of the pandemic. In the riding of Châteauguay—Lacolle, leaders of businesses such as Usiprog in Napierville, Ogilvy Equestrian in Léry, Pyro-Air in Châteauguay, and T-Clean in Saint-Rémi have put their shoulders to the wheel.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the opposition member once again for his question. I am only talking about the motion now because I wanted to use my time to talk about what matters to my constituents, and that is the work we are doing to fight the pandemic. With respect to the committees, the motion will overwhelm the public service with unreasonable requests.
