International Trade  Mr. Speaker, Quebec dairy producers get nervous whenever the subject of free trade comes up because this government never misses an opportunity to betray them. They have not forgotten that the government used their businesses as bargaining chips in its negotiations with Europe.

Foreign Affairs  Madam Speaker, the Madrid government has proclaimed that the people of Catalonia cannot vote on their future. It declared it illegal to voice the people's will and dissolved the Catalan parliament just this morning. It is abusing, imprisoning, and violating democracy and the righ

Ethics  Madam Speaker, it is not a great idea to have a minister making decisions that he himself benefits from. His situation is reminiscent of the Paul Martin era. The minister says it is not all that bad, because he is going to make up for his mistake by donating to charity. After bei

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, we can agree that after 10 years in opposition purgatory, the Liberal government has not really changed its corporate culture. Who would my colleague say is the worst Minister of Finance between the dishonourable Paul Martin, who registered his ships in Barbados,

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, our agricultural sector received a death threat from the American government yesterday. By calling for the abolition of supply management, American negotiators are attacking our milk producers, our poultry farmers, and our regions. Does anyone really think that we w

Request for Emergency Debate  Mr. Speaker, the American administration's desire to abolish supply management constitutes an unprecedented threat to Quebec agriculture. By calling for the abolition of our agricultural model, American negotiators are out to get our dairy farmers and poultry producers. This is

Montreal-Mirabel International Airport  Mr. Speaker, on this very day, October 4, in 1975, we celebrated the grand opening of Mirabel airport, a manifestation of the arrogant federalism at the heart of everything Pierre Elliott Trudeau ever did. Trudeau rounded up a bunch of fancy people in suits to applaud the big whi

Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I seek the unanimous consent of the House to table the email from the office of the Prime Minister.

Aerospace Industry  Madam Speaker, the government will not let up on former Aveos workers. The government caused them to lose their jobs in 2012 by refusing to enforce the Air Canada Act. It even changed the legislation last year to ensure that these people would not get their jobs back. Now the go

Aerospace Industry  Madam Speaker, that is nonsense. The file has been on the minister's desk for four months. This week, from the comfort of his limousine, he sent collection agents to harass Aveos workers. The thing is that he is not short on cash because the employment insurance fund had a $1.4

Aerospace Industry  Madam Speaker, everyone keeps passing the buck on this issue. It took four months to change the law and make sure that former Aveos workers would not get their jobs back. It would seem, however, that letting up on them will take a bit more doing. I have here an email from the o

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, our farmers are used to being taken for a ride by the Liberal government. Dairy and cheese producers were taken for a ride with the Canada-EU agreement, our producers were taken for a ride with the compensation program that lasted all of 20 minutes. This is a joke. W

NAFTA Renegotiations  Mr. Speaker, I believe you will find unanimous consent for me to move the following motion: That the House reiterate its desire to fully preserve supply management during the NAFTA renegotiations.

Aveos Workers  Mr. Speaker, I wish to draw attention to the presence in our gallery of former Aveos workers. In 2012, workers at Aveos lost their jobs because the government decided to break its own law. Instead of supporting the workers, Ottawa did the opposite and made it legal for Air Canad

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, the members across the aisle told us simply not to worry. This is hard to say with a straight face. They said that just because they gave wealthy foreign investors the right to expropriate does not mean they will use it. In Mirabel, we have seen what happens when the
