Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Shefford for her speech. I want to tell her that I have the same concerns as she does about seniors aged 65 to 74. These seniors know that they too can count on the support and solidarity of the NDP. The NDP is standing up for them. Why

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I found that last response from my colleague from Nanaimo—Ladysmith quite satisfying. What does my colleague think of the fact that cable companies, which are fewer and fewer in number and have fewer and fewer customers, are the only ones contributing to the product

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Arts and culture do indeed shape our views of the world and can influence how people see things or perceive their interactions with others. However, this bill does not give the government the ability to dictate or impose views

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for this question. Unfortunately, I believe that we will never have unanimity on this issue. However, I have absolute confidence in the bill before us, in sections 2, 35 and 46 of the Broadcasting Act, the two opinions of the Department of Justi

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Edmonton—Strathcona and I want to reiterate my thanks and congratulations for all the extraordinary work she has done at the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on this issue that is so important for both Canadians and Quebeckers. Obvio

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to take part in the debate this evening on such an important issue. I just complimented my colleague from Drummond, and I also have some kind words for my colleague from Edmonton Strathcona. She did a masterful job on Bill C‑10 at the Standing Committee

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Drummond for his speech, but also for all the work he has done in committee. I know his passion for defending Quebec artists and culture. In his view, why is it that the Liberals have managed this file so badly? Why is it that we have reached

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for her brief speech. I was astonished to hear her repeat that we still do not know how much operating revenue web giants earn in Canada or Quebec. The Liberals have been in power for six years, and I see this as an admission of

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I would to ask the parliamentary secretary what the date of the last election was. If memory serves, it was October 21, 2019. Since we have a law in this country that says that elections take place every four years and at least two opposition parties have said that

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I am rather shocked to see just how poorly the Liberals have managed this file. Based on the Yale report, we all agree that the web giants need to be included in the ecosystem. There is no issue there. That is not what is being debated. The Liberal government impo

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I sense that, at this time, the Conservative Party is being influenced by its religious right wing and is looking for excuses. The Conservatives say they are against conversion therapy, but they do not want to vote to ban it. Conversion therapy is an abomination t

Government Programs  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have decided to cut the Canada recovery benefit at a time when thousands of businesses are still struggling to get back on their feet and entire sectors of our economy, such as the cultural sector and tourism, are still suffering. What are the Liberals

Government Programs  Mr. Speaker, in the middle of the pandemic, what brilliant idea did the Liberals come up with? They cut the Canada recovery benefit by $800 a month beginning in July. That means it will drop from $500 a week to $300 a week. Are the Liberals really that heartless? Entire sectors

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am always really pleased to disappoint a Liberal. It makes my day. Honestly, I have seen better attacks. We could talk about many Conservatives, including Jason Kenney, who are responsible for a whole bunch of bad decisions. I would just like to tell the parliam

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my NDP colleague for his excellent question. Again, let us put ourselves in the shoes of people who are suffering and who were victims of sexual misconduct, harassment and assault, people who are now watching the Liberals and the defence minister attempt to
