Traffic Accident on Highway 15 Mr. Speaker, yesterday was a difficult day for the community of La Prairie. Sadly, two people were killed and at least 60 others injured in a pile-up involving nearly 200 vehicles. It is a real tragedy. My thoughts and those of my colleagues are with the families affected by this

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from New Westminster—Burnaby. Historically, the fathers of Canadian Confederation decided that health should be the responsibility of the provinces and Quebec. The government has since revealed a very obvious thirst for centralization. Last ye

Cancellation of Teck Frontier Mine Project Madam Speaker, I commend the member on her speech. However, I have to wonder about the fact that Canada imports oil from Saudi Arabia. Canada produces so much oil that, in addition to meeting Canadian demand for oil, it is our biggest export. We are the fourth-largest producer i

Public Safety Mr. Speaker, CP obtained an injunction against those responsible for the rail blockade in Kahnawake. The Peacekeepers are responsible for enforcing it, but they said no. As usual, the Prime Minister did nothing and made it Quebec's problem. However, the Sûreté du Québec cannot go

Public Safety Mr. Speaker, what has happened since the police dismantled the blockade in Belleville? Other blockades have gone up, in Kanesatake, in Lennoxville, in Gaspé and on the North Shore. In Kahnawake, in my region, the blockade is still up. The number of protesters has increased, and t

Indigenous Affairs Mr. Speaker, it took 22 days for the government to finally meet with the Wet'suwet'en chiefs. This is the only way to remove the blockade in Kahnawake, and I hope that the Prime Minister realizes that, because I was worried yesterday. I heard him say that they have great faith in

Indigenous Affairs Mr. Speaker, I really appreciate the Deputy Prime Minister's comments. I would like her to repeat them more often in front of the media. In order to resolve this crisis, the Bloc Québécois proposed that the RCMP leave the Wet'suwet'en territory and that the work stop. Strangely

The Economy Mr. Speaker, after 29 days, the rail blockade in Kahnawake has finally been removed. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the extraordinary resilience of the people of La Prairie, Saint-Philippe, Saint-Mathieu, Candiac, Delson, Saint-Constant and Sainte-Catherine.

The Economy Mr. Speaker, a month later, the blockade at Kahnawake has finally been lifted, but that does not mean that the rail crisis is over. Today, the government must take responsibility for its lack of leadership on this file. For example, in my riding, Exo spent more than $1 million t

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his questions. People usually think of me as an optimist, but the member opposite just called me a doomsayer. I absolutely cannot accept that. As for the money going to Quebec taxpayers, I can tell my colleague that if he tries to seek trea
