Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank our colleague, who once again made some very eloquent remarks. I agree with he said at the end of his speech. Indeed, all we can do is encourage people to get vaccinated. I got mine about ten days ago. However, I would like to remind my colleague that his party, the Conservative Party, moved a motion on March 23, 2021, asking the government for a reopening plan.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his passionate speech. Listening to him, I almost thought we were in the middle of an election period. Canada is not doing that poorly, and I think almost all of us agree on that. Nevertheless, it could have done much better. This is not just about the number of vaccine doses coming into the country, even though that was a problem.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech. No doubt there are a lot of fine things in this budget. Everyone has had good things to say, including the Bloc Québécois and the other parties. The Bloc has made suggestions about the aerospace sector, the electrification of transportation, forestry, social housing and day care.

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, to make life simpler for Quebeckers, the Government of Quebec has announced that it is extending by a month the deadline for filing tax returns. Last year, the federal government did the same thing, but this year it is hesitating. Quebeckers will have a reprieve from filing their provincial tax return with Quebec, but not their federal tax return.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Yes, Madam Speaker. By CHSLD we mean the long-term care centres for seniors. The Liberal government plans to impose national standards on senior care homes when that is a provincial jurisdiction—

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I would like to say that none of our colleagues in the House agree with what our Conservative colleague said in her speech. I know full well, my esteemed New Democrat colleague, that paid sick leave and pharmacare are very important. These topics were discussed at your convention this past weekend.

Battle of Vimy Ridge  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the participation of Quebeckers in one of the most famous military operations of the First World War, the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which took place from April 9 to 12, 1917. It was a resounding victory, but it came at a very high human cost as we lost 3,598 of our own.

Canada Revenue Agency Act  Madam Speaker, I want to say hello to all of my colleagues. I am very pleased to see them again after the two weeks that we spent in our ridings. The debate on Bill C-210 is timely because National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week is set to take place from April 18 to 24.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I think our colleague's take on the motion is pretty harsh and his statements pretty inflammatory. That said, I would just like to remind him that Canada is the only G7 country that cannot make its own vaccines, that its lack of leadership on border management was disgraceful, that the government was dishonest and hid all kinds of information from non-Liberal MPs and citizens during the pandemic and that this government's failure to act put us four or five months behind in the fight against COVID‑19.

Christie Innomed  Madam Speaker, I wanted to rise today to highlight the extraordinary initiative of a business in my riding. Indeed, Christie Innomed and its president, Martin Roy, have generously donated 16 refurbished laptop computers to community organizations in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. I am proud that my team and I acted as facilitators between these organizations and Christie Innomed.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will make do with three minutes. It is fine. Today, the Bloc Québécois tabled a simple, sensible, empathetic and caring motion. Logically, this rational, judicious bill should transcend party stances and party lines. This motion targets a particular segment of the population, the only segment that was neglected during this pandemic and has in fact been neglected for decades.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I think it is very easy to understand. Masks muffle sound. Thicker masks muffle it even more. The interpreters cannot make out the words. It is as simple as that. It is ridiculous to point out that the two members who raised this issue are from the Bloc Québécois.

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his presentation. I was really struck by and really appreciated one thing he said: Those suffering deserve the best possible care. I completely agree with him, but not necessarily for the same reasons. He also said that life is a gift. I will expand on that and say that death is not always a gift.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank and congratulate our colleague. From the beginning of his speech, I was ambivalent. I heard his reaction to China's flouting of international rights and all of the examples he provided. However, in light of his political allegiance, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I feel bad for my colleague. I was really looking forward to his speech, because I really appreciate his work. Unfortunately, he ran out of time and was cut off right when he was about to talk about energy trade as it relates to the environment, I think. I would very much like to hear how he reconciles those two aspects.
