Petitions  Madam Speaker, I have the honour to present a petition signed by many people from Sherbrooke. Whereas every minute, 31 people are forced to flee their homes, the petitioners are calling on the House to do more to address the underlying causes of forced migration around the world

Canada Labour Code  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-465, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (automated external defibrillators). Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this bill, which is the result of a collaboration with one of my constituents, Claude Leblanc, who was recently honoured. S

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Madam Speaker, I am a bit disappointed in the meaningless answer the minister gave to the question from my colleague from Longueuil—Saint-Hubert. He said that we need to build Trans Mountain and triple the pipeline's capacity to export our crude oil because my colleague drives to

Oil Tanker Moratorium Act  Madam Speaker, when the minister was on this side of the House, he openly criticized these kinds of closure motions and time allocation motions. The Liberals have used these methods countless times now. I wonder what happened to the democratic spirit of my colleague, who used to

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, as a result of inaction on the part of successive Liberal and Conservative governments, we are losing out on $26 billion in taxes every year, and the minister refuses to go after it. To put that number into context, it is enough to build eight superhospitals like Mo

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the Canada Infrastructure Bank, since its creation: (a) what is the number of meetings held with Canadian and foreign investors, broken down by (i) month, (ii) country, (iii) investor class; (b) what is the complete list of investors met; (c) what are the details o

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, it is a former Liberal minister who is saying that there is no business case for this project. People are right to be discouraged with this Liberal government. Even a former Liberal minister is finding it hard to believe that the Liberals are going to approve the Tr

Finance  Mr. Speaker, will we really be surprised if tomorrow they put the interests of big oil ahead of the interests of Canadians? I do not think so. Canada has never seen such a huge inequality. The Liberals brag about having lowered taxes for the middle class, but the wealthiest mid

Fisheries Act  Mr. Speaker, what we are debating right now is the procedure being used today to limit debate on Bill C-68, not the substance of the matter. My colleague repeatedly said that there have been 39 days of debate. He feels that is enough, but his assessment strikes me as subjective

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his remarks. I have to give him credit for participating in debate in the House, unlike other ministers who cannot be bothered to show up and talk about issues that matter to Canadians. That said, the minister seemed to be saying that everyt

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her work. She knows her riding well and does a great job of representing her constituents. The short answer is that we need to revisit the auction structure, as we said in our motion. That is a very important aspect that highlights the fact

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am a little disappointed. I used to have a lot of respect for my colleague and I still do, but not as much now. As the Liberals often do, my colleague referred to votes on certain budget measures, but the truth is that we had to vote on the budget as a whole in a s

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to begin by saying that I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River. I am pleased to rise today on behalf of the people of Sherbrooke to speak to an issue that is very important to me and to them. Today, we are tal

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, people's anxiety about the economy and the environment is growing. The causes are obvious: the signing of free-trade agreements that hurt workers, a tax regime that is more lenient than ever before towards big business, and the climate emergency. Canadians expect th

Criminal Records Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and especially for his expertise. I also thank him for his outstanding command of his files. I know that he has worked very hard on this. In his speech, he mentioned that government officials, and even the minister, claimed that
