Government Priorities Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.

Indigenous Services Madam Chair, I listened with great interest to the speech by the hon. minister. I am trying to understand something.

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, I enjoyed the speech by the hon. member for Lac-Saint-Jean. I think we both have an affinity for Greek mythology. I really enjoyed that part of his speech.

Women and Gender Equality Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, we are witnessing a resurgence in misogynistic speech in Canada. An article by Léa Carrier in La Presse+ shows that this is a growing phenomenon among teenagers in this country. That is worrisome. We are fighting against this phenomenon, and we are fi

Canada Labour Code Mr. Speaker, I was very interested in my hon. colleague's speech. She raised a number of points that will have to be discussed in greater detail at committee. I do have a question about the 18-month delay that everyone has been talking about. I, too, asked why the 18-month wait

Paul‑André Thibert Mr. Speaker, today, I want to pay tribute to Paul‑André Thibert, to whom the Châteauguay community bid farewell last Saturday. As an artist and a businessman, Mr. Thibert always devoted himself strongly and passionately to what he believed in. He first made a name for himself on

Sustainable Heating Mr. Speaker, families in Châteauguay—Lacolle are very aware of the climate crisis and they want to act responsibly to protect the environment. We know that one good option is to use heat pumps rather than oil for home heating because they are greener and more cost-effective. How

Families, Children and Social Development Madam Speaker, when Canadians needed support during the pandemic, community groups stepped up to provide crucial aid.
