Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, as I listened intently to the minister, I heard the word “effectively”. However, with all due respect to him, I do have one question. Bill C-12 is indeed a step forward. Technically, no one in the House, not even our Conservative colleagues, can deny the realities

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I really appreciated my colleague's detailed speech. We will remember these failures for the rest of our lives. I would like to hear his thoughts on the bill that unfortunately never came to be, as well as on the need to act very quickly, without the usual partisa

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's speech. Honestly, for the sake of future generations, I have a hard time swallowing what the government on the other side of the House and the former government have to say. I was around in 2009. This issue was top of mind for me when th

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, we have so many concerns. I do not know whether my colleague listened to the speech given by my esteemed colleague from Repentigny. It is actually hard for me to explain to the people of Laurentides—Labelle how this translates into accountability. The first thing th

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. The interpreters do a wonderful job, but unfortunately, they were unable to properly interpret what the minister was saying because she was not wearing her headset with microphone. Would it be possible to remedy that situation, pleas

Claude Chapdelaine  Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to honour Claude Chapdelaine, a trail mapper from Sainte-Adèle in the wonderful Pays-d'en-Haut RCM. Over the past 15 years, he has mapped some 20 cross-country ski trails and six road biking routes. He began his career in Sainte-Adèle in the Pay

Port of Montreal Operations Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I salute my hon. colleague and point out that here in Laurentides—Labelle, in Quebec, it is currently 1:19 a.m. It is quite a task, given these unacceptable actions.

Port of Montreal Operations Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief. I have a question for my hon. colleague. She took the words right out of my mouth because I too am appalled by everything we have seen and heard over the past few hours. Does she agree that the leader of the Bloc Québécois was once again the v

Dr. Pierre Lapointe  Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to Dr. Pierre Lapointe from Val-David, in the wonderful Pays-d'en-Haut RCM.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I am concerned. I have experience working with community organizations that focus on delinquency prevention. My concern is this: What ever happened to a change that would target basic prevention needs to avoid minimum sentencing? I would like to hear my colleag

Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. As I just said, we need to collaborate. To do that, we must do the work and know what is going on so that we can make proposals and adjustments. Right now, we are not ready for an economic recovery. I did not tal

Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague for her comment. She just raised another reason many people want to improve the well-being of the community. I daresay that we all want that. We must work to improve lives. To improve lives, we need to plan. To plan, we ne

Employment Insurance Act  Mr. Speaker, I think that members know exactly what the Bloc Québécois's stance on this is. To manage a pandemic, we must make use of each province's strengths.
