Impact Assessment Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to speak to Bill C-69 at report stage. It has been a long time coming, since it was one of the major promises the Liberal Party made to Canadians during the last election. In 2012, the environmental assessment process was scrap

Department of Industry Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise to talk about the bill introduced by the member from Beauce concerning federal government accountability and transparency. It is an extremely important issue. I have to admit that it must seem a little strange, because yesterday I gave a speec

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, yes, I am familiar with that program and that website. However, the Liberal government promised to put an end to oil subsidies during its term. It plans to do that in 2025. We do not know if the Liberals will still be in power by then. Probably not, so that is not

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Joliette for his comments and question. I also want to thank him for his great work overall. He is absolutely correct about the Liberals' reasoning being contradictory. It is as if the government is telling us that we need to turn right t

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Salaberry—Suroît for her concerns and her extremely relevant question. We have a Liberal government that contradicts itself and unfortunately does not do what it says it will. When the time comes to choose between profits and the

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her comments. I appreciate the work that she does and the public positions she has taken. We agree that the federal government must put a price on pollution, on carbon. The majority of provinces already do so. In fact, 75% of Canadians alr

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to rise in the House to speak to Bill C-57, which amends the Federal Sustainability Act. This is a very important issue, which I will get to in a little bit. I want to start by saying that it is unfortunate and disgusting that we are once again

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech and her interventions. Unfortunately, for the past two and a half years, we have seen the same thing, the same behaviour, over and over again from the Liberal government. Simply put, they say one thing and do another. We saw tha

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on the hypocrisy of increasing oil production while trying to meet our Paris Agreement targets for greenhouse gas reductions. Does she think that purchasing a 65-year-old pipeline for $4.5 billion was a good investment

International Trade  Madam Speaker, the Trump administration's decision to impose potentially catastrophic tariffs on our metal industries is completely unfair and ill advised. We completely agree with the government on that. Over 8,000 direct jobs and 20,000 indirect jobs are supported by the alumi

International Trade  Madam Speaker, 150,000 jobs are affected by the steel and aluminum industries. That is a considerable number of jobs. These workers have already endured months of threats from Donald Trump and they have had enough of being treated like a bargaining chip. Obviously, now is the tim

Federal Sustainable Development Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the Minister of Environment for her speech. Sadly, her decisions and results fall short of her rhetoric. We already know from the environment commissioner that Canada will not be able to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2020 or 2030. Speaking

Export and Import Permits Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I am an objective observer, but they obviously must not be too proud of their bill, since they are all staring at their computers, iPads, or notes. They refuse to listen to the opposition's comments, even though the bill is l

Export and Import Permits Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his extremely pertinent question. I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that a few years ago, there was an excellent game show on Quebec television called Fais-moi un dessin, or draw me a picture. People could draw one picture, t

Export and Import Permits Act  Madam Speaker, it is amusing to see Liberal members on the other side who have been muzzled and seem a bit restless. They seem to want to participate in the discussion, but unfortunately, they are not allowed to talk. Indeed, this bill must address the wholesale trade of arms to
