Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I would like to draw attention back to the question posed by my colleague from Kitchener. He was absolutely right to bring up SNC-Lavalin. This kind of procedure will rush the bill through the House of Commons. However, the government has presented a budget and an omnibus bill that includes everything but the kitchen sink.

Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Lac-Saint-Louis for his speech. I noted that he spoke with great pride about the budget and also that he insisted we must fight global warming. I thank him for that, because I believe we do not discuss it enough. I would like to ask him two questions.

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, another student demonstration is taking place today in Jeanne-Mance park in Montreal. What are those students asking for? They are asking us to stop dragging our feet. They are asking us to address the most pressing issue of all, climate change. They are asking us to stop all the partisan bickering.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I hope we will hear some good news about the member for Oakville North—Burlington. I will shortly be seeking the unanimous consent of the House for a motion. On Tuesday, Quebec's National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion moved by the MNA for Marie-Victorin, Catherine Fournier.

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, 42% of children up to the age of four already have their own tablet to watch what used to be called television. It does not take a genius to realize that these young streamers are watching less Quebec and francophone content. With each passing day, the next generation is losing more and more of their cultural roots.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech. I have noticed that his speeches are generally very detailed and well-researched. However, it is still important to point out that, generally speaking, the Conservative Party is known for its rather aggressive and somewhat crass approach.

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, as we all know, our media industry is going through an unprecedented crisis. Last year, the government promised a tax credit and other measures to support Canadian journalism. A few announcements were made, but since then, there has been radio silence. The government issued a news release, but it has not provided any money or anything concrete.

National Defence Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Toronto—Danforth for her speech. I am not an expert in military justice. However, it has come to my attention that, in the military, acts of self-harm are considered an offence. This makes it punishable behaviour. I would like to know what my colleague thinks about the fact that the new legislation does not address this problem, even though it is a known issue.

National Defence Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking my colleague for his speech. The general public may not be very familiar with military justice—as his colleague pointed out earlier—but there is no doubt these changes are desperately needed. They are tackling issues that have caused a lot of well-documented harm.

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I understand her reaction to the comments made by my Conservative colleague from Cariboo—Prince George regarding the worst of the worst. I agree with her. These individuals must be treated like human beings. Earlier a Conservative member said that segregation problems are often related to mental health issues, and I understand those concerns.

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I just heard him say that the purpose of this process is to place criminals back into society as safely as possible following their time in prison. He must be familiar with the two provincial rulings, one in British Columbia and the other in Ontario, I believe, that challenged the value of administrative segregation.

Indigenous Languages Act  Mr. Speaker, I feel the minister is being sincere about this bill, and I am happy to see that. Indeed, the work has begun, and a significant effort is required from all committee members. There are several relevant topics that could be raised at committee. I heard the question asked by my colleague from the Green Party, and I want to make sure my friend properly understood her request.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would ask my colleague whether he thinks that asking Netflix to collect GST constitutes a new tax.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a question to clarify something for all Canadians. I hope I will get an answer that will make things clearer. In your motion, you ask the Prime Minister to provide written confirmation that he will not impose any more taxes. I would like to appeal to your judgment.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend my colleague for his passionate speech on fairness. That is what he talked about. He has good reason to sing Canada's praises on many fronts, and it is true that efforts are being made to increase fairness. However, I would like to ask him whether he thinks it is fair that OTT services like Netflix are not required to collect GST.
