Employment Insurance  Mr. Speaker, I arrived on Parliament Hill just six months ago. I have met many wonderful people here, including two I did not get to work with very often and who were taken from us by a horrible disease. I want to take this opportunity to offer my condolences to the families and

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Did you have any concussions before you played in the national league, that is to say during the years when you were in the junior league, the OHL?

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  In my opinion, hockey culture is changing, as is its regulation. Things are moving forward. I don't think Scott Stevens' check would be legal today. That was a hit you did not see coming. I don't think such checks, which have caused a fair number of concussions, would be allowed

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you very much.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Lindros, I'd like to know, out of simple curiosity, if you had any concussions during the years when you played in the junior league.

Subcommittee on Sports-Related Concussions in Canada committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Lindros, thank you for being here today. You put a lot of hard work into the concussion file. I was a coach for 18 years in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. I was behind the bench for the challenge between Ontario and Quebec at the Montreal Forum

The Prime Minister of Canada  Mr. Speaker, the people of Chicoutimi—Le Fjord are going to pay dearly for the Prime Minister's mistakes: the broken relationships with our trade partners and allies; the purchase of a pipeline at an astronomical cost; the diminished confidence in our immigration system; and, abo

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments from my colleague. In this matter, it is essential to listen to Quebec. Let us not forget that both times that Quebec wanted to separate from Canada, the federal Liberals were in government. In the Conservative Party, we always respect pro

Business of Supply  My colleague is trying to get into the details instead of debating the principle. The Liberals know full well that the details will be resolved after several hours of negotiation with the provincial government. They should listen to Quebeckers, like our leader, the member for Re

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we believe in our leader and our party, and we will keep our word.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Lévis—Lotbinière. First off I would like to point out to the government that many employees at the Jonquière tax centre fear that their centre will be sacrificed in favour of the one in Shawinigan. Their level of co

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, businesses are being hit hard by the 25% tariffs on steel and 10% tariffs on aluminum and the situation keeps getting worse. The Liberals promised $2 billion in compensation to support the steel and aluminum industry. Business are still waiting, even though the gover

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the government has collected nearly $1 billion in retaliatory tariffs. However, the Liberals have allocated only a fraction of the $2 billion they promised in support for the steel and aluminum industry. On top of that, everyone knows that we produce the greenest st

Veterans Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Veterans Affairs made an unfortunate comment comparing his transition from television star to minister to a veteran's transition to civilian life. That is unacceptable. In talking to our brave veterans, we realize that each one has their own story,

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the people in my region will not be applauding the new free trade agreement. We are a proud, innovative, and welcoming people. We produce milk, top-quality cheese, and the cleanest aluminum in the world. They call this a free trade agreement? There is no reason to ha
