Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, everything is already in place so that we can move on to other things. The Bloc Québécois is collaborating. The Prime Minister knows that he can count on the NDP to do whatever he wants. We have the public's support. The Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs is havin

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, for almost four months now, the government has been schooling us on how to stall for time on the Chinese interference issue. The four-month mark is approaching, and we are right back at square one. We have no time left. If the inquiry is to shed light on this interfe

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, commissions of inquiry are not held to deal with simple issues. They are held to deal with sensitive issues where the information is not accessible, because those with the information are afraid or do not want to collaborate. Cleary, it is a delicate matter. Clearly,

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, we have been talking about this every day since February. Everyone is calling for an independent public inquiry. That includes Canada's former chief electoral officer, former intelligence officials and senior officials, not to mention the public, minorities threaten

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, now that David Johnston has stepped down, we are back at square one. The government has been trying to avoid an inquiry for almost four months now. The Bloc Québécois salutes the fact that the government is showing signs of openness today, but after four months, the

Child Health Protection Act  Mr. Speaker, first, I would like to acknowledge the initiative of the member for Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, who tabled Bill C-252. The purpose of the bill is to amend the Food and Drugs Act to prohibit food and beverage marketing directed at persons under the age of 13. Young p

Child Health Protection Act  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to hear that Quebec is serving as a model once again. My question for my colleague is quite simple. Can she guarantee that there will be no encroachment on Quebec's jurisdiction in civil matters? That is my real concern and it will set the tone in

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, the government is constantly accusing the opposition parties of partisanship on the foreign interference file. Actually, we are asking for an independent public inquiry so as to be as far from partisanship as possible. The Liberals responded with a rapporteur who wa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am not a fan of looking back to the past, but I would like it if people took responsibility. There needs to be a shift, starting today. Enough is enough. All parliamentarians need to take action and take responsibility. That is what I want to see. If the Conserv

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the situation is alarming. We are very worried. I would like to thank all those who are showing such solidarity. When a fire travels 15 metres a minute, it is frightening.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is 2023. Earlier in my speech, I mentioned that in 2002 Jacques Chirac said that our house is burning, that the earth is burning. This government will soon have been in power for eight years. All of a sudden, they are thinking about changing course. Meanwhile,

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague from Abitibi—Témiscamingue. What he said was really touching. I will approach the issue from a different perspective. One of my daughters is in Spain right now. The images she is seeing from the sky above my home in Lac‑des‑Écor

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I will be very brief. This whole charade is impressive. Everything that has happened since Friday has been things I did not want to see or hear, and I can say that because the Bloc is not looking to form government. It has been about partisanship, foreign interfer

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, we lost interpretation a few moments ago.

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, it is difficult to find out the truth about interference because the Prime Minister refuses to reveal it. He is trying to lure the opposition leaders into keeping his forced secrets. In a dramatic turn of events, David Johnston admitted that he also did not have acc
