An Act to amend the Tobacco Act and the Non-smokers’ Health Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts Madam Speaker, I salute my colleague. I am always happy to hear him speak here in the House. He is doing amazing work, and I also have the privilege of working with him on the Association parlementaire de la Francophonie.

Denis Jobin Madam Speaker, Canada's many mayors work hard to improve our communities. When one of them passes away suddenly, it leaves a huge void. Today I want to pay tribute to the mayor of Cap-Santé, Denis Jobin, who passed away on April 20, 2018, following a particularly aggressive ill

The Environment Mr. Speaker, the environment commissioner released a report this week entitled “Perspectives on Climate Change Action in Canada”. The data collection began in 2016, after this Liberal government came to office. It is all too clear that the Liberals have no plan. Once again, the

House debate Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to see that some people on the other side are not sleeping. Indeed, I wish to confirm to the House that when I arrived, you had already begun to read the motion. I therefore withdraw my vote.

Interim Estimates Mr. Speaker, we know that this is an onerous exercise for parliamentarians. No one on the opposition side is sleeping, but members on the government side are sleeping. Could the people who are sleeping be asked to leave the House, please? It is a matter of respect. We are stayi

Impact Assessment Act Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my excellent colleague for his question. The people of Winnipeg North are well represented, given how often he rises to speak in the House. However, speaking does not necessarily mean working effectively. We in the opposition party have a keen

Impact Assessment Act Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from South Okanagan—West Kootenay for his question. I somewhat agree with him that public confidence is not there.

Regional Economic Development Mr. Speaker, Quebec is as much a part of Canada as the other nine provinces and three territories. The Conservative members from Quebec are the best equipped to defend the interests of Quebec in a unified Canada. How can this government justify investing $75 million in the marit

Impact Assessment Act Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak after my colleague from St. Albert—Edmonton in Alberta. As we will see, Quebec and Alberta can get along well.

Impact Assessment Act Madam Speaker, this is a sad day for democracy. There are 338 members of Parliament here who were elected to represent their constituents.

Infrastructure Mr. Speaker, in November I wrote to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities to ask why he was putting restrictions on the clean water and wastewater fund. This forces municipalities to rush projects, which ends up costing taxpayers more. It is now February, and I have yet

Petitions Mr. Speaker, last August I received a call from a citizen of Laval, which is represented by a Liberal MP. Unfortunately, she had no confidence in her MP. She contacted me and asked that I present an e-petition, petition e-1270, which calls on the government to reject Bill C-45 re
