Forestry Industry  This falls under provincial jurisdiction. It is because the Bloc Québécois has kept this radical Liberal government in power that this minister is now adopting this job-killing decree. What is more, the Bloc MP for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia said that the Bloc Québécois recognizes that Ottawa might interfere in this file.

Budget Implementation Act, 2024, No. 1  That is when hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs left Ontario. We are watching the numbers continue under the Liberal government, because when the Liberal Party of Ontario lost the election, a lot of staffers made the trip up the 401 or Highway 7 to Ottawa and started working for the current government.

Leader of the New Democratic Party  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal-NDP government is not worth the cost or the corruption. Thanks to—

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, we hear a lot about diversity in Canada. When I think of diversity, I think of Eid celebrations taking place today in our Muslim community, or Christmas celebrations in the month of December, or Diwali, a festival of lights, light over darkness, and I participate in that.

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, I agree with my hon. colleague. There is an municipal election in Alberta, with about two million Canadians participating, and we need to look at changing the date of the election. At the same time, as a Hindu by religion, I do not want it signalled that the Canadian government is making any concessions to Canadians, due to their religious faith and practices, that the election date needs to be changed.

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, our government has done tremendous work on the reconciliation process with indigenous communities. Even in this bill specifically, I can state that for many indigenous people who live in the northern parts, in the remote parts, we have made specific efforts so that their participation in the electoral process is pain-free.

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, this is not enough to bring down a government. I would tell my colleague that I hope to get Bill C-282 passed for our farmers before triggering an election. This bill is now in the Senate and is being held up by Conservative and Liberal senators, despite the fact that it was passed almost unanimously in the House.

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, all I am asking the member to do is to apply to the province of Alberta the same standards he applies to the province of Quebec with respect to the election law. If the member is concerned about the municipal election in the province of Quebec, should he not at least be concerned about the municipal election in Alberta?

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, there is a double standard at play here that should be pointed out. The Bloc party articulated quite well, much like the member just did, why postponing the date of the election would have a negative impact on the province of Quebec because of Quebec's municipal elections.

Information & Ethics committee  Brock, talked about Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott. When they were kicked out of the Liberal caucus, Justin Trudeau invited the media to come. They found out, I think, basically through the media.

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to pick up on the fact that a lot of aspects in the legislation would provide strength to the Elections Act. It would make it stronger, healthier and better for Canadians and our democratic system as a whole. I cited things such as enhancing accountability for individuals donating to the campaign, issues like cryptocurrency and other ways to shed more light on it.

Science and Research committee  That's fantastic to hear, and I would appreciate getting more information about it. It really shows that it can be done and is being done. Hopefully, it can be scaled up and industry and governments can recognize the importance of investments in reuse systems. That will ultimately have a very positive impact on the environment.

Science and Research committee  When I open up a package now, I'm seeing a lot of cellulose versus styrofoam. I'm seeing a lot of combined packaging, where one package is being used instead of several packages. Circular Materials is a group of users of plastics that has been formed across Canada with cross-governance.

Electoral Participation Act  Mr. Speaker, imagine actually hearing such hypocrisy. The member is saying that the Conservative Party cares. That is a bunch of bull. At the end of the day, let us think about this. The leader of the Conservative-Reform party—

Electoral Participation Act  They are mocking us for taking foreign interference seriously. When Conservatives form government, we will take foreign interference seriously, and we will take steps to fight back and ensure that we remain free and sovereign.
