Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, that was not a question and so I cannot answer. I think we all heard it, and I will just leave it there.

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I will go back to the last point from the previous question, that we all are working hard. As the member has asked, the problem is that the announcements are being made with no details that follow. We go on there, we do some technical briefings and we are basically w

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, it is very important that we help our dairy sector, and the cost will be a lot higher than what the government has offered. Farmers were told, even with the CUSMA deal, that we would compensate them for all the losses that we had taken out of their production. That

Canadian Dairy Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, a lot of good work is being done by many people on the Liberal side, many people on the Conservative side, the Bloc and the NDP.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I am really concerned about one particular issue with respect to this agreement, and that is the aluminum industry.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, my friend mentioned earlier some of the issues with this deal, but I have heard from many major stakeholders in the steel industry, the president of the Canadian Labour Congress and the president of Unifor that although they are not really entirely happy with this

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, Quebec is one of the biggest aluminum producers in North America and an excellent, well-paid workforce. It does not have the same protections under the aluminum strategy as it did with the steel industry. Does the member fear, because the rules are so vague in the

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, in his speech earlier, the member mentioned that Conservatives are not happy with the deal, but they are going to accept it. I agree there could have been a better deal. However, there are major improvements in certain areas from the original deal, and getting rid

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I always enjoy listening to my colleague. He mentioned some provisions, which the government is taking credit for, about protecting women.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, when the first NAFTA agreement came out under the Conservatives, 400,000 jobs were lost.
