The Budget  Madam Speaker, I heard my colleague praising the budget, but I would rather talk about the people who were completely overlooked in this budget. I would even say that it adds insult to injury. Not only did the government still not budget for the increase in old age security for

Stopping Internet Sexual Exploitation Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague and I were at a meeting this morning, and one of the things we talked about was the online exploitation of children in the Philippines. Digging into the issue, we can see how far behind Canada is. This issue has received international attention, and ot

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is interesting to hear the Liberals stand up for the environment. We keep repeating that the carbon tax does not apply in Quebec.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I simply had to rise. I just heard my colleague talk about lying. I would like to hear them. Right now, it is the Conservatives who are spreading disinformation. Once again, they tried to say that the carbon tax applies in Quebec, but it does not. We have a system

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to circle back to an issue that my colleague touched on in his speech, which is the vulnerable situation seniors are in.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, Quebec is a pioneer when it comes to this model of early childhood and child care centres. We are truly proud of that.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to table the Bloc Québécois's supplementary report.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, the Bloc Québécois prepared a supplementary report to reaffirm that health falls under Quebec's jurisdiction and that the federal government needs to respect that.
