Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, as some members will know, I used to sit on the finance committee in a previous Parliament. I do not get to do that now as chair for the Conservative caucus, but I see this is a report that has 145 recommendations and is one of the biggest in the past five to six years.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I liked that the member gave us a history of political debates in Quebec over the past 30 years. However, I would like to come back to a comment one of the Bloc Québécois members made about old age security. In the budget, the federal government decided to give $500 to those 75 and older.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the member spoke about a little of everything, but the debate is on concurring in the finance committee's report on the pre-budget submission to the government. Over the years, we have seen that the number of recommendations being accepted by the Government of Canada keeps going down.

Digital Charter Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for La Pointe-de-l'Île for his comments. I agree with the first part of his question and his idea. I think people need to provide valid and informed consent. Many of my constituents have the same concern about private businesses sharing their personal information.

Digital Charter Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, as far as I can tell, not much new in this legislation specifically deals with those types of issues. We have all seen the phishing scams, even on Parliament Hill, where people pretend to be banks, financial institutions or credit unions. It looks so real and the interaction is so real that people feel it was actually sent by the named institution.

Digital Charter Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I will speak about the first part of his observation on privacy rights. Privacy rights should be property rights. That is where we should go and expand it, and that is the way it should be understood. I talked about, for example, deepfakes and the concerns I heard at people's doors, specifically in Mahogany.

Digital Charter Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, the member is the parliamentary secretary to the House leader. He is participating in setting the agenda. It has been months since this legislation came to Parliament to be debated. He should perhaps look at his own schedule to determine how many more days the government could do this.

Digital Charter Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to joining the debate on Bill C-11. “One who wants to know is better than one who already knows” is a Yiddish proverb, and members know I have a great love of them. However, I want to go through the legislation before us, because a lot of constituents have written to me with major concerns.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, I have three petitions to table today. They are from constituents and Canadians all across Canada. The first one is on the Magnitsky act. The petitioners are asking for the Magnitsky act to be applied to those who are persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in mainland China.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, the second petition draws the attention of the House of Commons to the continued plight of Venezuelan refugees, specifically to an event that happened near the country of Trinidad and Tobago, where that country's coast guard boarded a vessel of Venezuelan refugees fleeing the country in contravention of section 2 of the Commonwealth charter.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, finally, I am tabling a petition on behalf of Canadians who are asking that the definition in Bill C-6 be abandoned and fixed to ensure that parents can speak with their own children about sexuality and gender and set house rules about those kinds of relationships.
