Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his kind remarks, which I will now address. I did hear a particularly interesting comment on Bill C-12. I was told that after a rather, well, careful reading, it was found to be empty. The good news is, a bill that is empty can be infinitely and generously improved.

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for making an effort to speak French; it is appreciated. He asked some very interesting questions that I will certainly discuss with him, but this debate is about Bill C-12. Unlike the previous government, this government is committed to addressing climate change and achieving net-zero emissions.

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I know that she or one of her colleagues moved a motion in the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development to give more powers to the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development. We in the Bloc Québécois are more or less in agreement with that.

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise in the House and talk about the environment and climate change. I was eager to see this bill tabled. We waited a long time for it. At the Bloc Québécois, we even took the initiative and tabled our own climate accountability bill, Bill C-215, which we debated here in the House a few weeks ago and which seems to have a few more teeth than Bill C-12, an act respecting transparency and accountability in Canada’s efforts to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050.

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. As much as we often disagree, we can also agree. I agree with him when he says that we must work together to improve this bill. I agree with him when he says that the oil and gas industry must play a role in getting to net-zero emissions.

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the minister for his speech and his kind words. It is always a pleasure to work with him. I watched Mr. Attenborough's latest documentary, which is quite powerful and shows us the importance of passing legislation on this issue. It is great that the bill has set 2050 as a target for achieving net-zero emissions, but I think that it is crucial to have meaningful checkpoints for the next 10 years, which is a very critical time for the climate crisis.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. A bill on the same subject is currently working its way through the Quebec National Assembly: Bill 64. It provides fairly significant penalties for organizations that fail to meet their privacy obligations. Does my hon. colleague think that this bill is strong enough in terms of penalties?

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Bill C-11 seems to apply only to private businesses, not to the federal government. We all saw many examples of this during the pandemic. I imagine that all members were informed of the cases of victims of fraud or identity theft reported to their riding offices.

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. Unfortunately, news reports are reminding us that the French language is in decline in Quebec right now. We often tend to be too quick to blame young people, but I would like to remind members that the young people of my generation care a lot about French and that we will do everything in our power to ensure that it is protected in Quebec.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the government needs to move beyond its fine words and take action. The government is introducing its bill to fight climate change, but meanwhile, it is also promising to pressure Joe Biden to protect the dirty Keystone XL pipeline, and it is approving 100 offshore oil drilling initiatives without environmental impact assessments.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the government reiterated today that it wants to attain net-zero emissions by 2050, but there are no solutions in its bill to get us there. The government has not set itself a greenhouse gas reduction target, and it is not requiring itself to do anything for 10 years, until 2030.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I agree with him 100% on that. I think we could be a bit more flexible and take more than 30 days. As my colleague from Lac-Saint-Jean was saying a bit earlier, we are in full agreement with this excellent motion, which is a necessary one.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree with my colleague that we should head in the same direction as our allies, who seem to have taken a stance on the issue. However, a few months ago, we debated a Conservative motion to create a committee on Canada-China relations. The idea was that it would study this very issue.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. As I said, I believe the creation of the Canada-China relations committee is very important. It must keep hearing from people directly involved in this issue. I believe it has a lot of issues to look at in connection with Huawei, the 5G network and spying.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am always pleased to rise in the House on behalf of my constituents of Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia and also on behalf of the Bloc Québécois as the critic for public safety and national security. Furthermore, I would like to thank my colleague from Wellington—Halton Hills for all the work he has done on the matter before us today.
