Solidarity in Shefford  Mr. Speaker, there are some stories of solidarity that truly warm the heart. At the height of vine-pruning season at the new Girouard vineyard, Yoan, who is 14, had a serious skateboarding accident that left him lying on the side of the road with severe head trauma, as well as o

Income Tax Act  Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak to Bill C-234. Since my colleague from Joliette already announced it in a previous speech, it will come as no surprise when I say that the Bloc Québécois will vote against Bill C-234. We have serious doubts about the effectiveness of such a bi

Bills of Exchange Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Manicouagan for her emotional speech. I know how connected she is to the indigenous communities in her riding. Today's debate is about reconciliation and a day of commemoration. How might this day help us understand that there are still f

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Jonquière for his speech. In his speech, he highlighted the Bloc Québécois's work on two very important files, seniors and health transfers. He also spoke about the green recovery. We both want to represent the interests of Quebec.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He talked about a number of things, including help for seniors. At the moment, groups that support seniors are unanimous on this issue, as are members of Parliament. It was in the news again today. How can he justify his party

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, people are still angry about the Prime Minister's decision to increase old age pensions for seniors 75 and over. Today, FADOQ, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons and the National Association of Federal Retirees have all three condemned the creation of two c

United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for this morning's debate, which will be very short. As the critic for the status of women, I would have liked to see the government have the same sense of urgency when it came to applying the recommendations of the final report of the Nationa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would ask for a recorded division on the motion.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to say a few words. Turning votes into confidence votes strongly suggests that the Liberals want to call an election. I would also like to talk more about how the Liberals' actions since taking office are an insult to democracy. The member mentioned t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his intervention, and I offer him my deepest condolences on the loss of his father during the pandemic. This clearly shows the importance of reinvesting in our health care system to take care of people. I would like to hear his thoughts on

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I talked a lot about the importance of democracy. The fact that the Bloc Québécois wanted to ask the Prime Minister to step down at one point, because we had good reason to do so, does not mean that we wanted an election just for the sake of it. This is just the wa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is another indication that the government is trying to do whatever it can to trigger an election, with no regard for voters and no regard for democracy and the pandemic. All it wants is to form a majority government, and I can only deplore that. Once again, the

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my hon. colleague from La Prairie, who is on the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, did a great job of explaining this morning that there was a minor disagreement within the Liberal Party. The committee members all supported the idea that there shou
