Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. The Conservatives want to postpone or eliminate the carbon tax and the alcohol escalator tax. Based on my calculations, that would cost the government $2 billion in revenue. The carbon tax is what worries me. This government has targets that it plans on meeting, but it has not announced any real action, aside from maybe the carbon tax.

James W. Price and Yvette Mathieu Lafond  Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to mark two birthdays today—two 100th birthdays, no less. The youngest of the two, James W. Price, will be blowing out 100 candles on December 30. Mr. Price was born in Cape Breton and arrived in Drummondville at the age of 8. For 45 years, he worked at Celanese, a textile company in the area.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Outremont for her speech. I have to admit, I had to pick up my jaw from the floor a few times. Not only is the government openly admitting to interfering in provincial jurisdictions, but it seems almost proud of it—almost to the point of disrespect, I would say.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his speech. I would like him to comment on something I was told today. We are often told that the Bloc always makes demands and that it looks for a fight when what it is calling for is fair health transfers for Quebec and the provinces.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I congratulate and thank my colleague opposite for his speech. I almost let myself be seduced by the sound of his voice. His voice is so soft when he talks about taking care of seniors. He also sounds so sweet when he says that his government is there for the provinces and territories.

Fall Economic Statement  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is hard to hear what my colleague from Joliette is saying because so many conversations are happening, despite our limited numbers here. Would you prefer to ask my colleague from Joliette to wait until the conversations are over, or shall we let him continue and ask that our colleagues show some respect?

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his question. I think there are a lot of surprises and new things that we will have to deal with with the arrival and invasion of digital technologies. As I mentioned in my speech, I think we need to proceed with caution and be very careful about the decisions that we make today because they will most likely have an impact on the next 10 to 20 years.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question, and I thank my colleague from Shefford for asking it. During our meetings with industry representatives in recent months, we heard over and over that this was the most urgent issue. The regional media and local news media were most concerned, as they face more uncertainty over their future.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Winnipeg North for his question. Of course we are open to discussion. The minister himself seems very open to making sure this bill meets our expectations and can be implemented as quickly as possible. Will the Bloc Québécois vote in favour of this bill?

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I think the minister and I should go out for a drink together. We clearly need to set the record straight. I admire and commend his passion because I know that this file is extremely important to him. I am well aware of everything he had to navigate to get to Bill C-10.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my esteemed colleague for that question. I relish the opportunity to elaborate. I do think there is a flaw and I do think there is a case for this being enshrined in legislation. Anyone following the news may have noticed that the riding of Saint-Laurent has had a rough go of it this week, but I am not trying to pile on.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise to speak to Bill C-10, the first of the long-awaited bills from our heritage minister. The Liberal government has been working on this bill for five years. We have gone through five years, three ministers, a media crisis, a cultural industry in jeopardy, a Yale report and, just to take things to another level, a pandemic that has finished off many players in this industry that we all enjoy.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I want to commend the heritage minister for this bill, the first bill he has introduced as a minister. Bill C-10 was eagerly awaited. Overhauling the Broadcasting Act after nearly 30 years is no small matter. As I have already mentioned several times in our discussions, I was expecting something more consistent.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite and congratulate her on her speech. I too want to come back to the question of Huawei. In her speech, the hon. member talked about the importance of respecting and defending our values. It is true that with a trade partner as important as China, we sometimes walk on eggshells and we have to learn to bite our tongue at times.

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his excellent speech. The Quebec bar has expressed some concerns about Bill C-3, particularly because the vast majority of criminal offences are handled in provincial courts. Training for judges is a good idea, but the Quebec bar has pointed out that many of these cases will be handled by provincial judges and not federal ones.
