Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia. Yes, once again, the federal government looked at what the provinces were doing and decided to do the same thing, even though it is outside its jurisdiction, instead of minding its own business and taking

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for that question. I appreciate it, and I know that we are on the same page on this file. Like him, I have gotten a lot of calls to my office from people who are angry about the federal Liberal government's new measure. It is not just peopl

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, the budget and the implementation bill we are debating today will put a stamp on federal politics for many years. That is why it is crucial that we, as parliamentarians, take the time to analyze this bill and to ask the difficult questions that must be put to the gov

Émilie Sansfaçon Act  Madam Speaker, I will try not to get too worked up, even though there is clearly good reason to do so. What we are talking about this evening is extremely important for our constituents, for those who put their trust in us to represent them. If we polled people on the street abo

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Beauce. I am very fond of my colleague, and one part of his speech interested me in particular, namely where he spoke of public transportation in rural areas. It is an issue that also affects my riding of Lac-Saint-Jean. What is his vision

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her speech despite the poor sound quality. She stated that she was proud of what her party did for seniors in the recent budget, which increases old age security for those 75 and up. If my colleague was in my riding office, she mig

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I have to send a heartfelt thanks to my colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue for his speech. We can see how well he knows the file and how passionate he is about it. It is obvious. I would like him to talk a little more about what is missing from this report.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I will be brief. My colleague from Regina—Lewvan did not dare to use the word “hypocrisy”, but I am going to. My colleague from Winnipeg North reached the height of hypocrisy in his speech. He told us that the prorogation of Parliament did not really harm our work.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons has been trying to get his point across and put the opposition on trial since the beginning. He forgets that the people elected a minority government. Right now, he

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I am once again appalled by what I just heard. Whenever I hear the Liberals, I start feeling sick to my stomach. Once again, a Liberal member is saying that the Conservatives are filibustering, that it is ridiculous and that they are playing politics. The member be

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I was appalled when my hon. colleague said during his speech that the Conservatives are blocking the work of the House. The Liberals are the ones who walked away and shut Parliament down. It is unbelievable. The Liberals shut Parliament down, yet they dare to accus

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I do not know whether I should thank my colleague, since no one asked for the debate we are having today. I remind members that we held an emergency debate last week on the same topic. We do not have any choice in the matter, though, so here we are. I have a simpl

Roberval Courthouse  Mr. Speaker, this weekend, my community was shaken by the loss of one of its most precious heritage buildings, the Roberval courthouse. Built on the shores of our majestic Lac Saint-Jean in a style inspired in part by the National Assembly of Quebec, the courthouse was a source

Health  Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations among the parties, and I believe that, if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That the House salute and support the decision of the President of the United States to support the resolution presented to

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to be the first to speak tonight. First of all, I would like to note that International Workers Day was celebrated last week. In light of that, I take great interest in Bill C-220, which we are debating today, because it is part of the labour movem
