Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Earlier today, I was taken aback by certain comments. I almost fell off my chair, even though it is very sturdy. Two members of the Liberal caucus, the members for Hull—Aylmer and Don Valley West, told us that they were not 100

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. When it comes to using special legislation like the Emergencies Act, I think we need to be 100% sure that it is the right decision, unlike what my colleague from Hull—Aylmer believes. Earlier today, he told us that he was

Emergencies Act Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her very passionate speech. Earlier today I was asked a question by my Liberal colleague from Hull—Aylmer. He said that he was not 100% certain that the use of the act was the best course of action, but that there were more pros than co

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, I would never trivialize hate speech. I want to make sure that my hon. colleague knows that. My colleague stated that he too was not 100% certain that we were making the right decision. That is what he just said. However, when it is time to make a decision as imp

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, when one is Prime Minister, one must listen to everyone who expresses an opinion anywhere in the country. I imagine that is part of the job. The main thing was that the Prime Minister needed to take action on day one of the protests. I understand my hon. colleague

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, at the risk of repeating myself, I would never minimize hate speech. That is just not the kind of person I am. I am worried about the future. I do not know whether, say, 10 years from now, the Reform Party will rise from the ashes like a phoenix and take over the

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, first of all, I have no sympathy for what has been happening on Ottawa streets for the past three weeks. Fortunately, after 22 days of siege, the crisis may be over. As we speak, the police are dispersing and arresting the occupiers. On behalf of the Bloc Québécoi

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021 Mr. Speaker, I just loved my hon. colleague's speech. I believe he spoke from the heart. He was very sincere. One of the things he talked about was division. I have to agree with him on that. Because of this government's policies, we are seeing a lot of division right now all acr

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021 Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I would never want to silence him. I hang on his every word when he gives a speech in the House. He is one of my favourites. Now, he and I do actually agree on one thing. The government's handling of this crisis has been a d

Economic and Fiscal Update Implementation Act, 2021 Mr. Speaker, I understand that my hon. colleague is giving a pre-election speech for the leadership race, but the House is currently studying Bill C-8. Freedom is important to the Bloc Québécois. That is why we want Quebec's independence.
