Controlled Drugs and Substances Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech and for helping us to get to know her riding, albeit as the result of unfortunate events, the loss of human lives. I would also like to talk about my province, Quebec. I would specifically like to talk about the current situation in Montreal.

Sainte-Rose-du-Nord  Mr. Speaker, 2017 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, one of the most beautiful villages in Quebec. In 1942, after 100 years of settlement that included progress and setbacks, this beautiful village was officially created on the north shore of the Saguenay River.

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the audits conducted by the Canada Revenue Agency concerning international tax evasion, since January 1, 2006: (a) how many cases have resulted in a negotiated settlement, broken down by (i) year, (ii) amount of the penalties imposed, (iii) interest charged?

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to know if the vote of the hon. member for Surrey Centre will count because he returned to his seat after you were standing and had begun reading the motion.

Softwood Lumber  Mr. Speaker, once again, the government is not there for Quebec. There is no softwood lumber agreement and no plan B. Our workers are going to pay the price as plants close, jobs are lost, and the regional economy weakens. The Government of Quebec is grabbing the bull by the horns and announcing loan guarantees.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her comments. I would like to add that I too am concerned about what is going to happen in terms of the big European corporations in the event that the Canada-Europe agreement is signed. In my riding, there are small municipalities with a population of around 700 where there are crying needs for infrastructure projects, particularly roads and waterworks.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, an exemplary member who is working very hard in committee on the Canada-Europe agreement. I thank her for her question and for her work. As I mentioned in my speech, in my riding we have the Fromagerie Blackburn, which employs seven persons full-time.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be able to continue debating the motion. As I was saying earlier, I wonder if the government has a grudge against the hands that feed it every day. I am talking about the people who work on the farms, the dairy producers—in fact, those who feed our children.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate your intervention. It is difficult to speak in the House when people are talking. As I was saying, I represent 87,605 constituents. One of the issues they are greatly concerned about is forestry. I have spoken at length about it in the House. There is no longer an agreement in place and we are heading straight toward taxes, which has many of my constituents worried.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my whole family. This may be the last time that I rise to speak before the House adjourns for the holidays. I would like to thank my family for their support and recognize my colleagues for all of the work they do on behalf of all their constituents.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her very constructive speech. She does a good job on the environment file. Every time I listen to her, we learn something from her. She also does a great job of representing her constituents. A moment ago, she said that there is a lot of talk about the environment, but that there is no concrete action.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech. She is the NDP veterans affairs critic, and she is very dedicated to her community. I learn something from her every day, and I thank her for it. In her speech, she talked about the higher cost of prescription drugs that would be caused by CETA.

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sherbrooke for his speech. It is always a pleasure and so interesting to hear him speak here in the House. I know that he does a very good job representing his constituents. Many members of my family live in his riding and they are very well served.

Cécile Pellerin  Mr. Speaker, on November 30, I moved a motion to highlight the great work that is being done by Cécile Pellerin, who is from my riding of Jonquière. This extraordinary woman is the founder of the Clowns Soleil association, and she has been promoting the benefits of laughter for many years.
