Franco-Ontarian Day  Mr. Speaker, September 25 is Franco-Ontarian Day. Today, I got to celebrate this great day with the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism at L'Escale Catholic high school in Rockland. Our ancestors would be proud to see the initiative and creativity that our school boards show in organizing these celebrations.

Health  Mr. Speaker, today is World Alzheimer's Day, an annual event where people around the world come together to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, affects more than 400,000 Canadians aged 65 and older, two-thirds of whom are women.

Firearms Act  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague for his speech, but I think an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants contains more factual information than his speech did. With regard to the registry, my colleague does not seem to understand that, when an individual purchases a firearm from any merchant, the merchant takes note of that person's name and address, as well as the model and serial number of the firearm.

Firearms Act  Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed my colleague's speech, but there are some nuances we have heard on this side of the House, and one of them is that the bill has nothing to do with gangs and guns in our cities. I want to take him back to a moment in 2017, when the Minister of Public Safety announced $100 million to fight guns and gangs in our cities.

Main Estimates, 2018-19  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for her question on defence procurement, because the Conservative record is terrible. I remember a time when Conservatives cancelled defence procurement for MSVS, not three weeks before, not two weeks before, not one week before, but less than 24 hours to go and they pulled the plug.

Main Estimates, 2018-19  Mr. Speaker, I do recall, in 2004, the first time the fixed wing search and rescue program was announced, and re-announced in 2008, to be later delayed, and to finally get a procurement going by 2015. Finally, our search and rescue technicians will have planes. This is coming from a government that delayed and delayed defence procurement.

Main Estimates, 2018-19  Mr. Speaker, I am the member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell. Many members from Quebec stop in Casselman. I know that the hon. member for Châteauguay—Lacolle likes to charge her electric car in Casselman. I know that the hon. member comes from the Montreal area. I invite him to charge his car in Casselman, where there is a nice station for electric cars.

Main Estimates, 2018-19  Mr. Speaker, we have had a spirited debate in the House and in multiple committees on this year's main estimates. We have also had a spirited debate about the important reforms that our government has introduced as a two-year pilot to improve the transparency and accountability of government spending.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of farmers back home, which is in Ontario. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Environment have heard them loud and clear. Should the Ford government decide to cancel carbon pricing, I can reassure them that the federal program on a price on carbon will not impact farmers.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I can assure my colleague that our approach is well balanced. If we told the Albertans tomorrow morning that we were going to shut down all the oil plants, I do not think they would be happy. Telling a family they will be out of a job tomorrow morning does not work.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have a document that lists all the information in response to the questions of the official opposition members. They should take the time to read it. It takes about five minutes. It outlines all the information they are looking for.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the member for Carleton's motion is interesting, but one that seems to miss the point on at least two levels. First, as has been pointed out in the House before, pricing carbon pollution is widely acknowledged as one of the most important tools for combatting climate change.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I find it appalling that this particular member attacks the Minister of Finance and the Prime Minister, when he knows full well that the leader of the official opposition has practically stayed in subsidized housing for his entire parliamentary life. It is appalling that he would go this low with politics in this place.

Health  Mr. Speaker, Canadians expect to know that the food they are eating is safe, especially since the complex international food chain is creating some significant new challenges for food safety. Our government has been taking firm action to address these issues to simultaneously make our food safer while also providing more trade opportunities for businesses.

National Blood Donor Week  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to highlight National Blood Donor Week, which runs until June 17. This year marks the 10th anniversary of this special week. It cannot be overemphasized how blood donation is a vital gesture and how important it is to educate citizens about this issue.
