Housing  Madam Speaker, does the minister know Nadia Gagné? Has he heard of Nadia Gagné? Nadia Gagné is a woman who has been living in her van for the past few days. Why is that? It is because she lost her home. There are currently 24,000 people on the waiting list for low-income housing

Finance  Madam Speaker, after nine years of this Liberal government and nine inflationary deficit budgets, this Liberal government is not worth the cost. This is especially true considering that, unfortunately, it can rely on the Bloc Québécois's support. Yes, the Bloc Québécois voted in

Housing  Mr. Speaker, you will be pleased to hear that the opposition and the government worked in perfect co-operation today in committee. Thanks to the member for Mégantic—L'Érable, the Minister of Housing knows that July 1 is moving day in Quebec. This has been the case for the past 50

Housing  Mr. Speaker, every woman in Quebec, every woman in Canada, every man in Quebec and every man in Canada is suffering from this government's inflationary policies. That is what is affecting every Canadian. The reality today is that the Bank of Canada has said that the price of mort

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech a few moments ago and congratulate him on the quality of his French. The member asked for a question with substance, and I will easily ask a question with substance. The government waited more than 10 days befor

Employment  Mr. Speaker, for weeks now, the member from Quebec City has been telling tall tales. The problem is that, at Université Laval, a grievance has now been filed against him directly because his status changed, allowing him to keep all his benefits. My question is, did the member

Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank all my colleagues who took part in this debate. When legislation is introduced to move things forward for the country, it is quite moving to see so many people working together. I am very honoured. I would like to briefly address some of the comments

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I find it unfortunate to hear that from a colleague who has been in the House for 13 years and two days now, if memory serves. Yes, that is right: He was first elected on May 2, 2011. I am grateful for the day he was elected. However, it is unfortunate to see such a

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, the last time we debated this bill was back in November. For six months now, this bill should have been debated in the House, and yet for six months those members on the other side of the House found a not to debate it.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my colleague that one of his Bloc Québécois colleagues was very clear during a parliamentary committee study. I am quoting him from memory and I will admit right away that it is not exactly word for word: It is so good, you would think the Bloc

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I welcome the comments from my colleague. I think I said many times that we would support the bill.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to take part in this debate on Bill C‑20. Basically, this bill, in its very essence, seeks to increase people's confidence in the justice system and to hold accountable all those across Canada who ensure our safety and that of our borders. This bil

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, never in our country's glorious history have we had such a free-spending government. This is a $500‑billion budget. The Liberal Party voted in favour of it. Who else voted in favour of this $500-billion budget? The Bloc Québécois. The Bloc Québécois is the reason th

Finance  Mr. Speaker, after eight years, this Liberal government is not worth the cost. After eight years of astronomical deficits and spiralling debt, this government has never managed to control spending. This is a perfect recipe for inflation. Canadians know what inflation is. Rents h

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, the member for Québec seems to enjoy playing with numbers these days. I have a number for him: 750. The ArriveCAN app cost 750 times more than it should have. Who was the President of the Treasury Board was when that happened? It was the current member for Québec. Wh
