Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, essentially the member is saying that the previous environmental assessment was better under the Harper regime. I am looking at numbers here, and in 2015, under the Harper government, the unemployment rate went up 2% in Alberta. I wonder where environmental assessment under the Harper regime was so much better for investment, when the unemployment rate went up 2%.

Elections Modernization Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, even if I do not agree with him entirely. This bill does not address the issue of government advertising, but the President of the Treasury Board did. My colleague also spoke abut the funding of political parties. One thing addressed by Bill C-50 was the transparency of fundraising, which is done by all political parties in the House.

Jonathan Pitre  Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate and remember the life of Jonathan Pitre, who passed away on April 4 at the young age of 17. Jonathan was known to many as the “butterfly child”. He lived with a condition known as EB. One can imagine living one's entire life with blisters all over one's body.

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, I was there when the minister responsible for official languages and the Prime Minister unveiled our government's new action plan for official languages. I have been hearing positive feedback from my constituents. They are saying that our plan is based on their comments and needs.

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I want to repeat that the Prime Minister was in my riding and reiterated the fact that we were not reintroducing the long-gun registry. I would also remind him that the Conservatives presented a motion to adjourn the debate on Bill C-71 yesterday. The member was in cabinet in the previous government.

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, no.

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I am happy that the member is asking about gang violence in our cities and communities, because I would remind him that on November 17, the Minister of Public Safety introduced $327 million to fight exactly that. While opposition members delayed debate in Parliament last week, all the members on the other side of the House voted against those measures.

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to take part in this debate today. Canadians must see their government take a stand, as communities across the country are suffering the consequences of gun-related crimes and violence. We are not talking about making sweeping changes or imposing unreasonable measures on responsible gun owners.

An Act in Relation to Firearms  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech. It is possible to have a debate on firearms without being painted as gun registry supporters. I want to ask my colleague a question about Bill C-42, since he was here during the last parliamentary session. He mentioned that retailers will have to keep records.

Supplementary Estimates (C), 2017-18  Madam Speaker, we will teach my colleague on this side of the House, but I hope she can teach her colleague from Churchill—Keewatinook Aski the same thing, because I am still seeing a tweet from the House from the member for Churchill—Keewatinook Aski.

Agriculture and Agrifood  Mr. Speaker, our government knows that Canadian farmers are key economic drivers in this country and that they play a major role in combatting climate change. Could the Minister of Agriculture update the House on the important announcement we made to improve clean technology in Canadian agriculture, this morning at Terryland Farms in my riding?

Interparliamentary Delegations  Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 34(1), I have the honour to present to the House, in both official languages, two reports of the delegation of the Canadian Branch of the Assemblée parlementaire de la Francophonie. The first is respecting its participation at the meeting of the Cooperation and Development Committee of the APF, held on Réunion Island, France, from March 2 to 4, 2017.

Prevention of Radicalization through Foreign Funding Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to take part in this debate. As we continue to read Bill C-371, I would like to say that I support the purpose of the bill and the ideas that inspired it. Curbing or preventing the flow of money that supports terrorism is one of the government's key concerns.

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that my colleague enjoys comparing the Liberal record with the Conservative record. I appreciate the Conservative Party's newfound vision of respecting taxpayers' dollars and asking that it be paid back. However, I recall that, a few years ago, the Conservatives seemed to be on fishing trips often, and the former national defence minister, Peter MacKay, took a helicopter illegally.

2018 Winter Olympic Games  Mr. Speaker, swoosh to the left, swoosh to the right, Canada is going to fight, fight, fight. I rise today to wish Canadian Olympians from my riding the best of luck at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. Good luck to Valérie Grenier, Geneviève Lacasse, Derek Roy, and Vincent De Haitre.
