Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his question. I am somewhat disappointed that he would ask me this question, because I spent most of my allotted time, 15 of my 20 minutes, answering that exact same question that he just put to one of my colleagues. I did focus on the three criteria to use to determine if the trade deal would benefit Canada.

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. There are very significant concerns about human rights. There are people who are working to improve the situation in Honduras but it is very dangerous for them. It does not make any sense for the Government of Canada to say that it wants to increase trade with one of the world's most violent countries.

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act  Mr. Speaker, that question has many elements. I would have liked my Conservative colleagues to ask me some questions. I would have been pleased to hear what they had to say about this. However, they wanted to continue the debate until the bill is disposed of. However long it takes, I will defend human rights around the world at any hour of the day on behalf of the people of Sherbrooke.

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act  Mr. Speaker, I have the great honour to rise in the House on behalf of the people of Sherbrooke to defend human rights around the world but, today especially, to discuss the implications of Bill C-20, the trade agreement with Honduras. As we know, many statistics have been provided by various organizations on what is happening in Honduras.

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act  Mr. Speaker, I am happy to ask my colleague a question. He mentioned the hypocrisy of the Conservatives and the Liberals, who have now joined them, when it comes to sanctions imposed against certain countries. I am particularly thinking of the sanctions against Russia as well as the economic sanctions against Iran.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. Yes, under this system, dual nationals will be punished twice as much as those who hold only Canadian citizenship. They will be stripped of something they had, and that is a double punishment. It does create a two-tiered system.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, with regard to my colleague's second question, I will believe it when I see it. How long have the Conservatives been in government? Waiting times have been increasing ever since. Even before my election to Parliament, the Conservatives were promising to shorten waiting times.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to speak to Bill C-24. As the member for the beautiful city of Sherbrooke, it is truly an honour to speak to this bill. In fact, most of Sherbrooke's residents will be interested in this bill. Sherbrooke is one of the most important immigration hubs in Quebec.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his excellent speech, which was passionate as usual. This time, he spoke about Canadian citizenship, a subject that all of us are even more passionate about. He clearly explained how the system would create two classes of citizens that do not have equal standing.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to sincerely thank my colleague for his speech about citizenship. His speech was very passionate. He obtained his citizenship when he was younger. I am not saying that he is no longer young, but that is a debate for another day. I would like to come back to the fact that we must have a fair and equitable process if we really want to move forward with revocation of citizenship.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech on Bill C-24. He mentioned some of our concerns about this bill. I would like to hear him talk more about the constitutional aspect of this bill, given that the government has been told three or four times to change course, if I may use that expression, or go back to the drawing board.

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, thank you for letting me ask my colleague from Rivière-des-Mille-Îles a question. She spent a few seconds, possibly a minute, talking about wait times, which have gone up considerably in the past few years. Nowadays, it can take 31 months for a person to get citizenship.

Pierre-Luc DusseaultNDP

Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her great speech on Bill C-24. She certainly has expertise on the subject of citizenship and immigration. Like me and a number of experts who have looked at the bill, does she have any concerns about the constitutionality of the bill, especially with regard to revoking citizenship?

Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. She talked about free trade agreements in general. I have a general question for her about the Liberal Party's support and her leader's support for the free trade agreement with Europe when we have never seen the text of the agreement.
