COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, on September 30, five million Quebeckers found themselves in red zones, with the resulting business closures. The next day, the Quebec government announced financial assistance to businesses to pay for fixed costs. The response from this government has been non-exis

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, I have been discussing this with the government since the pandemic hit. It was agreed that businesses need help with their fixed costs. When did we agree to put that in the motion? On April 11. That was over six months ago. After threats of an election, the Liberals

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, everyone knows that the Liberals are using COVID-19 to line their friends' pockets. When there was a ventilator shortage during the first wave, the Liberals wanted to get Frank Baylis to make some, but they knew that would look bad. The guy was a Liberal MP just las

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois has had enough of the corruption. It is as simple as that. The Liberals do not want to call an election for the sake of SMEs. On the contrary, they are ready to sacrifice SMEs to trigger an election. They do not want to call an election for healt

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, the government decided to make today's vote on WE Charity a confidence vote. It is the same government that told us earlier that next week it will introduce legislation to support businesses. When we talk about support for businesses we are talking about wage subsidi

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the government is so intent on covering up the We Charity scandal that it would let the government fall if we were to vote on having a special committee that would shed light on this issue. In the midst of a pandemic, in the midst of a second wave, it is telling the

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals want to create a committee to study $300 billion in COVID-related spending. We think that is a fine idea and have no objection. However, they offered $912 million to an organization that took off as soon as it lost the contract. We are entitled to ask q

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, when I asked my question yesterday, before I even finished saying the word “machine gun”, the Prime Minister immediately stood up and started talking about political party financing. The links people make in their heads between different ideas can be odd, at times.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the National Post reported that a wealthy businessman from Toronto, Wei Wei, was arrested on charges of firearms possession and operating an illegal casino. Wei Wei met with the Prime Minister on May 16, 2016, with the founder of the Wealth One Bank. Three days later

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, last night, Toronto police arrested a businessman who was operating an illegal casino in his home. The police seized a machine gun and $1 million. That businessman's name is Wei Wei. Interestingly, Wei Wei is a loyal and generous Liberal Party of Canada donor. Among

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, he could take a lesson from the Bloc Québécois. He has a lot to learn in this particular area. On May 16, 2016, the Prime Minister held a lucrative cocktail fundraiser with wealthy, prominent members of Toronto's Chinese community. Oddly enough, just a few days late

Health  Mr. Speaker, 73% of Canadians say they want the federal government to spend more on health, 81% of Quebeckers say they want more money for health, 100% of the members of the National Assembly say they want more money for health, and 100% of the provincial premiers say they want m

Health  Mr. Speaker, the second wave has hit Quebec. We have 1,100 more cases today. That is unbelievable. The health care system is on the verge of breaking down, yet the government has decided against increasing health transfers to care for our people. Simply put, the facts are undeni

Health  Mr. Speaker, facts are facts. Quebec and the provinces are asking the government for $28 billion to make up the shortfall. The government gave them $500 million. That is less than 2% of what Quebec and the provinces are calling for to help with health care. The provinces and Queb

Health  Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of a full-blown health crisis. Now more than ever, people need good quality health care. Now more than ever, it is time to work with Quebec to help our health care providers and protect our seniors. Quebec needs an increase in health transfers to
