Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Châteauguay-Lacolle for her question and her hard work. I was very proud to announce this week, together with Premier Legault, a joint investment of more than $800 million to fast-track broadband projects in Quebec. This new investment will ensure that every Quebecker can connect to high-speed Internet by the end of 2022.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I am stunned that the Conservative opposition continues to talk about the WE Charity in the midst of this pandemic, in the midst of the concerns that Canadians have about rebuilding our economy in terms of the work we are doing together. While Conservatives continue to focus on us and on politics, we will stay focused on supporting Canadians.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, as the Conservatives themselves pointed out a number of weeks ago, we are much more focused on supporting Canadians' jobs than we are our own. Our focus from the beginning of this pandemic has been on delivering for Canadians, on supporting families, on supporting small businesses, on helping workers through this pandemic, and yes, on building back better, which involves recognizing that the jobs of the future require us to be responsible about the environment and that we cannot have a plan for the future of the economy if we do not have a plan to fight climate change.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, while the Conservatives continue to play politics, we will continue to focus on the supports Canadians need. While Conservative politicians continue to say we did too much too fast to support Canadians, we will continue to say we have their backs. That is what we have had throughout this pandemic.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, as I have said, we always take all allegations of sexual misconduct extremely seriously. No one should ever feel unsafe at work. We will continue to work to change the culture in the Canadian Armed Forces so that no one ever feels like they cannot come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, allegations of sexual misconduct or inappropriate behaviour need to be followed up by the appropriate authorities, and that is exactly what happened in this case. The ombudsperson was directed toward the right people in terms of following up on an investigation. The ombudsperson was not able to share further information with the investigators and, therefore, the investigation did not move forward.

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, the political games that the leader of the Bloc Québécois is playing are disappointing, because he knows full well that we cannot talk about what is in the budget before we table it in the House of Commons. I encourage seniors in Rimouski and across Quebec and Canada to take comfort in the fact that we committed to increasing old age security for seniors when they turn 75 and that we are committed to supporting seniors with record investments during this pandemic.

Health  Mr. Speaker, as the member knows very well, I recently had some very good conversations with Mr. Legault about supporting the province's health care system and increasing our joint investments in areas like green energy production and high-speed Internet. We will continue to work hand in hand to ensure that Quebeckers and all Canadians have the services they need both during this pandemic and beyond.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, I have been answering this question during the press scrums for months. Here, in the House of Commons, we always take such allegations seriously. My office was made aware of the fact that the Minister of National Defence directed the ombudsperson to the appropriate authorities for follow-up.

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, I can always respect someone who does not forget his roots, but I need to point out to the hon. leader of the NDP that he is no longer at Queen's Park. He is now in the federal House of Commons where we respect provincial jurisdictions when it comes to delivering health care.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, in our government, all allegations are taken seriously, and we ensure that they are followed up on by the appropriate independent authorities. That is exactly what happened in this case. When the National Defence ombudsperson received a complaint, the minister directed him to the appropriate independent authorities so that they could conduct an investigation.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, I have answered that question a number of times, but we have demonstrated since forming government that we take extraordinarily seriously the responsibility to make sure that people are protected in their places of work, in their service to their country, and we have brought forward mechanisms and measures that continue to protect them.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, we have no tolerance for any form of sexual misconduct. When such allegations are brought forward, we always take them seriously and forward them to the appropriate authorities. That is exactly what happened in this situation. The Canadian Armed Forces have launched an independent investigation of this matter.

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, we were concerned to learn about the issues at the port facilities in Cap-aux-Meules. We are in touch with local authorities. We are looking into what we can do not only to make sure that fishers and everyone who uses these facilities are safe but also to ensure that the fishing season can proceed.

Rail Transportation  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to be able to point out to my hon. colleague that the budget will be tabled on April 19. He will have all his answers at that time. I can confirm, however, that when I was in Trois-Rivières this week, I had a very good conversation with the mayor of Trois-Rivières, in which I emphasized our continued commitment, as well as the tens of millions of dollars that we have already invested in high-frequency rail, a project that is close to the hearts of not only the people of Trois-Rivières, but also all Quebeckers and Canadians.
