The Environment  Madam Speaker, in Saint-Hyacinthe, young people who are well aware of the climate emergency organized demonstrations. I was with the 150,000 young people who marched in Montreal during the protest. I read the protest signs and talked with them. What these young people were saying

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, this is our last chance to fix NAFTA 2.0. We need to give the Democrats time to improve the terms of the agreement. Considering the results of the Liberals' negotiations, agricultural producers are still very angry. With another breach in supply management, the Libe

Health  Mr. Speaker, Athéna Gervais's death, caused by a sweetened alcoholic beverage, should have raised a red flag. Experts and Éduc'alcool are calling on the government to make these products less attractive to young people, but the government is refusing to meet with them. While new

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, whether it is during my tours of seniors residences or when I go to the Salon de la famille this Friday, May 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Galeries St-Hyacinthe, seniors come up to me to tell me that they are having a tough time financially because their expenses a

Seniors  Mr. Speaker, I asked the Prime Minister to take action to help families, seniors and single people going through tough times. Together with ACEF Montérégie-est, I recently held an informal gathering of citizens on the topic of debt. I heard from lots of people who were deep in d

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, I did a tour of the municipal councils in my riding. Every time I meet with them, they say they are disappointed. When they look at the Canada-Quebec agreement on the plan to invest $180 billion over 10 years, they see that a lot of that money will be spent only in y

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, on March 15, young people took to the streets of Saint-Hyacinthe to alert the government to the climate emergency. In Montreal, 150,000 people marched. Around the world, millions of people, primarily young people, took part in the climate march. I was in Montreal tha

He has used up his 15 weeks of sickness benefits and does not have access to disability benefits. In addition to fighting cancer, William has to fight the Liberal go

Employment  Mr. Speaker, nearly a thousand temporary foreign workers got a nasty surprise upon arriving here. Rather than receiving a tax refund, they had an outstanding balance because Revenue Canada made mistakes. When the agency makes mistakes in one out of five cases, how can it say th

Environmental Protection in Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot  Mr. Speaker, we are fortunate to have organizations doing amazing work in our riding.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague knows how proud I am to represent a riding where the agri-food sector is the main economic driver. Would he agree that the government's lack of support for canola farmers is yet more proof of its lack of consideration for the agri-food sector? The f

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, three months ago, 46% of Canadians were $200 away from insolvency. That figure rose to 48% last week. While half the population struggles to make ends meet, the Liberals continue to subsidize oil companies and give multimillion-dollar handouts to Loblaws. The Prim

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the people of Kashechewan had to once again be evacuated because of flooding. This could have been avoided. The Liberals promised to relocate them to higher ground, but two years later that still has not happened. Yesterday, children and leaders from the community we

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, the OECD is calling for us to do more for the middle class. That is not surprising since half of Canadians are $200 away from bankruptcy.
