Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I get too emotional. As I said, I really like the hon. member for Louis-Saint-Laurent. I appreciate what he has to say, and I think he is a good Quebecker. I kind of understand the Conservative ideology, and I respect it, but I do not really buy into it. My colle

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres denounced the corporate greed of oil and gas companies, saying they are making outrageous profits on the backs of the poor. ExxonMobil amassed a $74‑billion net profit. Why are the Conservatives not proposing a tax on these en

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am not questioning the numbers. That said, we need to understand what is behind those numbers. We need to understand why bail was granted to people during trial or while awaiting trial. We need to allow time, but we need to see if there are reasonable grounds. W

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the answer is yes, absolutely. I believe in our justice system. It is not perfect, but I believe in it. Judges are not normally appointed overnight. There is a series of steps. There is a selection process. These individuals have a great deal of experience. I have co

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to get that question from my colleague. I would like to give an example. I did not have time to do so earlier. The incarceration rate of the United States is the sixth highest in the world. It incarcerates criminals in droves. It incarcerates 505

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, preventive detention exists. A person can be detained longer if a judge has sufficient grounds to do so. That exists.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with my Conservative Party colleague from Lakeland. Not surprisingly, I will be sharing my time, but not the same views. I want to put all this in context. Today is the Conservative Party's opposition day. The motion was moved by the member

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. I admire him greatly, but I do not agree with what he is saying. Bill C‑75 was not perfect. We all agree on that, on both sides of the House. There are some improvements to be made. I would like my colleague's opinion on the remarks made by C

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his speech. This is a very emotional subject. We all want disinformation to be set aside. To some extent, we all want to be able to rely on science and research to make changes. Clearly, Bill C‑75 is not perfect. We would l

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my first university degree was a bachelor's degree in criminology. During my studies, we would discuss being for or against parole, loosening or tightening restrictions and so on. As we progressed through the program, the better we understood the issues, the more we

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague, and I thank him for his speech. We are talking about a provincial jurisdiction. Once again, it is exclusively provincial. Quebec will be fully compensated, the equivalent of $6 billion over a five-year period. We are talking about

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech. Unfortunately, I have to remind him again that anything to do with family policy and education falls solely within provincial jurisdiction. This bill is full of good intentions, but the Liberal government should stick to

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, this afternoon, during oral question period, we heard the member for Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine make preposterous comments that cast aspersions on the Auditor General. The Auditor General's report was tabled today and, in it, we learned that the government

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I would like to hear my colleague's opinion on the following question. We in the Bloc have focused on the three main elements we wanted to see in this bill, specifically, employment insurance, pensions for people aged 65 to 75, and health transfers. For years now,

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, something outrageous happened during question period today. The member for Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine made some unacceptable remarks that left no doubt she does not have confidence in the Auditor General and does not find her credible. She gave two absurd ex
