National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, what I was saying is that I hope the Bloc will vote with us on this amendment. The possibility of having two ministers from Ontario or British Columbia who would be responsible for public safety, innovation and industry would mean that no one in cabinet would have

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, that is an important question since, indeed, when we talk about national security and the security of companies that might be acquired or that have a national security interest, it is vital that we ensure that the process is done properly. Unfortunately, several

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, we know that the current Prime Minister has the utmost admiration for the President of China. Again, when it comes to totalitarian countries like China that want to acquire Canadian technologies, it is vital that we find a way to act. I think that our amendments we

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to rise to speak to this bill for the second time. Last February, I gave a speech on Bill C-34, an act to amend the Investment Canada Act. At the time, I talked about the many problems with this legislation and our intention to improve it in commi

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, on Monday, members of the House will have the opportunity to vote for common sense and cancel the carbon tax on every type of home heating. After eight years, this government still does not understand that it has to give all Canadians a break. Unfortunately, the B

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I was under the impression the NDP would be supporting our motion. I thank my colleague. I cannot believe what she keeps saying about the western Canadian oil and gas sector. She is from Edmonton, Alberta, which sends $13 billion to the province of Quebec. Basical

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, the answer is quite simple: reduce taxes on heating. It is not hard. By the way, he says that heat pumps are better for the environment. I agree with him. The Liberals have been in power for eight years. Instead of collecting a tax on carbon and giving part of it

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I feel I must compliment my colleague. She is probably the least condescending of all the Bloc Québécois members here in Ottawa. She is careful about what she says. She is very nice. I think she is once again making the mistake of saying that this is of no concern

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to rise in the House to speak to this opposition motion, which reads, and I quote: That, given that the government has announced a “temporary, three-year pause” to the federal carbon tax on home heating oil, the House call on the government to e

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this government, Quebeckers simply cannot take it anymore. The use of food banks is at an all-time high: Every month, one in 10 people in Quebec is forced to go to food banks. The government, with the Bloc Québécois's radical support, wants to m

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to hear my colleague say that the government passes legislation and then enforces it by regulation. We have absolutely stunning evidence of this before us. I would like my colleague to answer this: Why does the Bloc Québécois support the government so

Royal Canadian Mounted Police  Mr. Speaker, the alliance between the Bloc Québécois and the Liberal Party continues. The RCMP commissioner appeared before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics last Monday and was prepared to give evidence on the Prime Minister's interference in t

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I cannot believe I am hearing my Liberal and Bloc colleagues in the House talking about a Government of Canada ATM. The Government of Canada is not an ATM. It is not an ATM for infrastructure, or for any of its services. It is not a cash machine. We are talking ab

Carbon Tax  Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this government, the cost of living is only going up. Inflation is at a record level. People just cannot get by. This government's inflationary spending has impoverished Quebeckers. Considering the fact that one in two Canadians lives paycheque

Premier Tech  Mr. Speaker, it is with immense pride that I rise to mark an exceptional occasion: the 100th anniversary of Premier Tech, based in Rivière-du-Loup. Premier Tech has forged a reputation for excellence with 100 years of history, determination and daring. The story began when the B
