The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his presentation and his excellent French. It is always a pleasure to hear anglophones speak French in the House. I congratulate him. My question is twofold. First, according to the budget, investments are still being made in the oil sands

Battle of Vimy Ridge  Mr. Speaker, last week, we commemorated the 106th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which was waged in 1917 during the First World War. No less than seven different Quebec-based regiments were active in Vimy, in northern France. Among them, was the legendary 22nd Battalion

Support Centre in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the anniversary of an organization that has been serving Rivière-des-Mille-Îles for 50 years. I am talking about the Centre d'entraide Racine-Lavoie. The centre supports the autonomy and development of low-income individuals and families by

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague knows that TikTok has been banned from all government devices. My question is simple. Does my colleague believe that Beijing is using this platform to engage in political interference?

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, like all members of the House, I believe, experts are concerned about Chinese equipment in our critical infrastructure, especially telecommunications infrastructure. Should the Liberal government not be very concerned about the presence of Liberal MPs in its own r

Income Tax Act  Mr. Speaker, we are here this evening to debate Bill C‑241, an act to amend the Income Tax Act with regard to deduction of travel expenses for tradespersons. Bill C‑241, which is sponsored by the member from the Ontario riding of Essex, is at third reading stage. It seeks to ame

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, first of all, I would just like him to confirm that he did say he would like Leduc No. 1 to become a Canadian historic site. If so, would he agree that this is not the right time for that, since we are turning towards renewable energies instead? It seems to me tha

Online Streaming Act  Madam Speaker, in my life as a parliamentarian, there are things I find difficult, and one example is when either individuals or parties try to trash things that make perfect sense, simply for the sake of trashing them. The Conservatives are clearly talking here about attacks on

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to hear our Liberal colleague say that it is up to the provinces to ensure the sound management and administration of the health care system. However, what he said about members of the Bloc Québécois is rather frustrating and offensive. He said that t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is very nice to hear my colleague speaking French. His accent is excellent. I would like to once again remind him that Quebec and the provinces are the ones responsible for the health care model. The Supreme Court clearly ruled in that regard in Chaoulli. It st

Department of Public Works and Government Services Act  Madam Speaker, on this Valentine's Day, I would like to celebrate a little event. My precious daughter, Sarah, who already has one son with my son-in-law, Simon, is pregnant. I just found out it is a girl, and I am so happy. Congratulations to them. They are an amazing couple.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we know that the Liberal government has introduced very few budgetary or legislative measures to try to fight inflation. We all agree on that. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Bank of Canada has had to use the monetary tool at its disposal, that is, increasing inte

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I want to wish you a happy Valentine's Day. I really appreciate you. I am feeling a bit torn. On the one hand, we have a government drifting on a sea of appalling departmental dysfunction and, on the other hand, we have an opposition party playing games and giving f

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to remind my colleague that ExxonMobil raked in $74 billion in profits. That is an outrage, yet the government is not lifting a finger to get any of that $74 billion back. That is the problem. The carbon tax is not a problem for individuals, it is a problem

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Louis-Saint-Laurent. I like you, sir. I like what you have to say, and you are a good Quebecker. I do not understand—
