Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for focusing on the state of public finances and the need to monitor spending. I would like to hear my colleague comment on another matter, specifically Ottawa's disturbing habit of interfering in Quebec's jurisdictions. One example of the link

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, seniors are still angry about the federal government's decision to split them into two classes by increasing pensions only for seniors aged 75 and up. The president of FADOQ, Gisèle Tassé-Goodman, pointed that out in an open letter this morning. She wrote that many

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals clearly do not get it. The move to create two classes of seniors is not going over well in Quebec. All seniors need to be supported starting at age 65. This morning, the president of FADOQ put pen to paper to stand up for all seniors in Quebec regardles

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Elgin—Middlesex—London. It was an honour to work with her at the Standing Committee on Status of Women last session.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his remarks. In the budget, the federal government's attempts to interfere are clear.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I have to give a nod to my colleague from Joliette, because I know he would answer that there is still far too much tax evasion and tax avoidance going on and that we should be doing more about it. Of course, that is where we could find some money, just as we coul

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question and for his hard work. I know that he works hard for the seniors in his riding, as do all of the other Bloc Québécois members. I do not think there is any question that seniors have been in a precarious financial situation for

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would first like to say that I will be sharing my time with my neighbour from the next riding over, the hon. member for Drummond. This is the second time that I have been given the honour of speaking on behalf of the Bloc Québécois about the 2021 budget, the fir

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. There are so many changes that need to be made.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the interpretation is not working.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I can hear the interpretation now.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the member is right. We have to move away from symbolism and implement concrete measures to hold people accountable for their actions. If the government is truly feminist, it must condemn these actions. People who commit sexual assault must actually get the punish

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will heave a big sigh because it is with great exasperation that I rise today to speak to the allegations of sexual misconduct in the Canadian Armed Forces. As vice-chair of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, which studied this important issue, I heard

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. He talked about the issue of the safety that Bill S-3 brings and the importance of speeding up its implementation.
