Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act  We would fall into a vicious cycle of repression and violence, precisely into which the [Prime Minister's] Conservatives—and Senator Boisvenu—seek to lead us....We are talking about sick people. Punishment will not cure them. Prison does not cure. That was Senator Hervieux-Payette, and those were her words regarding her own Bill S-214. I am quite certain that she will not mind if I draw a parallel with the current situation. Is the government outraged that I would dare claim that it is playing politics at the expense of victims?

Financial System Review Act  The House of Commons simply does not have the time to seriously consider this bill.

What were the Conservatives thinking when they introduced this bill in the Senate on November 23, 2011?

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Thus, his appointment was purely partisan. The Liberals did the same thing. Senator Céline Hervieux-Payette was appointed in 1995. Since 2007, she has been the Quebec lieutenant for the Liberal Party of Canada. She spends practically all of her time on electoral organization. The same is true of Senator Dawson and Senator Fox, two former MPs who were appointed to the Senate in 2005 by Paul Martin.

Department of Public Works and Government Services  Côté then submitted his resignation, which the minister accepted. I would also like to add that the Liberal Leader in the Senate, Senator Hervieux-Payette, told the Senate on Wednesday: “I thank the minister for his diligence in this matter.” We did our job.

Government Operations committee  Yes, we met with two Senate leaders. We corresponded with Ms. Hervieux-Payette. We also met with the Speakers of both chambers. In addition, on August 6, I sent all parliamentarians from the various regions in Canada a message in which I stated that I would meet with any interested individual to talk about our role.

Business of Supply  What does the opposition think about this? What does the Liberal leader in the Senate, Ms. Hervieux-Payette, have to say about the prospect of that lost funding? She said, “If we spend all our time ringing bells, other bills will not pass as well”. Nonsense. It is nonsense that means nothing to the average Canadian and it should.
