Questions Passed as Orders for Return  With regard to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), since January 1, 2006: (a) how many financial transactions have been processed by FINTRAC, broken down by fiscal year; (b) how many files have been sent from FINTRAC to the Canada Revenue A

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I know how important the agrifood file is to him. I will not compare the quality of the wine in his riding to that of the wines in other ridings, as he did. However, as many MPs have said today, it is important to go over this ag

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Drummond for his speech. Members may know that my colleague from Drummond and I are neighbours not just here in the House, but also in our ridings. When he speaks about dairy production in his riding, he is referring to what i

Child Care  Mr. Speaker, a study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives informs us of the rising cost of child care for families. That is unacceptable. Even though Quebec has the lowest child care fees and is held up as an example to follow, the province has still seen a 14% increase

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about a family of dairy producers who live in her riding. As we know, every time we allow more imports of dairy products, such as the 17,000 tonnes of European cheese that will be imported under this agreement, it undermines supply management and

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I was talking about farms that went out of business 15 years ago, some of them 20 or 25 years ago. However, the same thing is still happening all over my riding, and the main issue is that there is nobody to take over. A caree

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sherbrooke for his question. Actually I am refusing to call the $350 million amount compensation, because it is not. When compensation was set at $4.3 billion, it was calculated that this was how much the sector was losing. We see it in

Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement  Mr. Speaker, the NDP has long been calling for improved trade with Europe to diversify Canada's markets. However, there are many serious concerns that have not been addressed and many unanswered questions regarding the proposed agreement. I would like to say that I will not be s

Health  Mr. Speaker, the clock is ticking on the deadline for a new health care agreement, but we still have no news. The provinces agree that the government's choice to maintain transfer payment cuts will hurt our health care system. Philippe Couillard made it clear that Quebec would

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, over a year ago, the Prime Minister signed the Paris agreement, even though his targets for fighting climate change are the same as Stephen Harper's. Today, that same Prime Minister will be meeting with his provincial counterparts to come up with a plan. We want to

Aerospace Industry  Mr. Speaker, employees need more than the minister's thoughts. They need action. On October 31, the minister told me that the job losses clearly had nothing to do with the discussions they were having with the company with respect to its request for $1 billion in assistance. Nev

Aerospace Industry  Mr. Speaker, on October 31, 2016, I asked the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development to tell us what was happening with the financial assistance promised to Bombardier. The minister replied at the time that the government was working closely with the company a

Tax Convention and Arrangement Implementation Act, 2016  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. We too believe that it is a good idea to support this bill and to have this sort of agreement with Israel and Taiwan. However, when it comes to the fight against tax evasion and tax havens, it is important to include automatic

Intergovernmental Relations  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister ignored his provincial counterparts' request for months, but now he is finally going to sit down with them to have a friendly chat about money for health care. It is really not what they asked for. It is clear that the premiers are not backing down

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, today I am pleased to speak to Bill C-235, an act to amend the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (fetal alcohol disorder). I want to begin by saying that my NDP colleagues and I will support this bill. The NDP would like all parties in th
