350th Anniversary of Berthierville  Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to mark the 350th anniversary of the municipality of Berthierville. In 1672, Intendant Talon gave the seigneury to Sieur Randin, who sold it the following year to Sieur Alexandre Berthier, for whom it is now named. Its coat of arms is rich in symbolism.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. This is a very important moment in time. The subject before us is sensitive and extremely complex. As has been mentioned several times, we are wading into areas that have not been regulated until now. It is very important to take the time to get it right.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He talked about ways to fight inflation. A basic and very important way would be to significantly boost residential housing starts, which would reduce pressure on the housing market, and on social housing in particular. Social housing would remove low-income people from the current market and would reduce that pressure.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I would like to hear him talk about housing. We know that the housing crisis is one of the very important factors of the inflationary situation that we are experiencing at the moment. At the Bloc Québécois, we believe that we should invest massively in social housing.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, it is ironic to hear the Liberals talk about health transfers and about how the Conservatives will offer less, when the amount is already so small. In any case, we will give them a fair chance. I thank my colleague for sticking to the topic of the day for his whole speech.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I will not often defend the leader of the Conservatives, but let us be serious about our work. We must work on the measures that the government presented so we can help people face inflation, but the member has spent about eight minutes talking about cryptocurrencies.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I must admit that this morning I am feeling a bit frustrated. I am sick and tired of seeing the Liberal government drop their little announcements here and there to get positive media coverage. The Liberals tell us that they are handing out $500 for rent and then complain that the opposition parties think it is not enough.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, who has just finished his speech, for his support. This is the moment of truth. This is the moment when we separate the parliamentarians who make vague promises they do not necessarily intend to keep from those who are prepared to put their names down on paper.

Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act  Madam Speaker, I would like my colleague to elaborate on that. When it comes to supply management and food security, how could we also start exporting this model abroad so that countries around the world can have a solid local food foundation? That is something that we could do.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, we have here a Liberal government that is unable to deliver passports or issue old age security cheques on time to people who reach retirement age. The Liberal government is also unable to guarantee security for workers through EI. These are all things that are part of its legislative agenda or its current jurisdictions, yet it wants to lecture the provinces and Quebec on health, saying that it knows the truth.

350th Anniversary of Lavaltrie  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to mark the 350th anniversary of Lavaltrie, a magnificent municipality in Berthier—Maskinongé. The municipality owes its name to Séraphin Margane de Lavaltrie, a lieutenant in the Carignan-Salières regiment to whom Intendant Talon granted a seigneury in 1672.

Lisette Leblanc Landry  Mr. Speaker, Lisette Leblanc Landry has dedicated her life to serving others. A member of the Filles d'Isabelle for over 60 years and of the Avellin-Dalcourt residents' committee, she regularly visits the sick and accompanies people who need support during medical appointments.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his usual passion and for his service to his constituents. I wonder if he could comment on the delays in processing veterans' claims. This important issue has been raised by our veterans affairs critic, who is doing an extraordinary job.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his concern for the well‑being of veterans. It is indeed very important. I would like to know whether my colleague is aware that claims from francophone veterans take much longer to be processed than claims from anglophone veterans. I get the impression that Bloc MPs are the only ones who care about this.

Food Day in Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to speak to this bill. I would like to announce at the outset that the Bloc Québécois agrees that the first Monday in August should be designated food day in Canada. There are a lot of interesting things in the bill's preamble. I think they are worth mentioning.
