Democratic Institutions  Madam Speaker, there are two opposing narratives: One is the optimists' version and advocates moving on because there is nothing to see here, while the other is the version of the alarmists, who want to call 911. We do no know whether either of the two camps, or any of them at all, is telling the truth.

Democratic Institutions  Madam Speaker, I want to talk about foreign interference. One leader says it is nothing serious. Another leader says it is very serious. Both want us to take their word for it, so we are no further ahead. On Monday, the Minister of Public Safety said he would not breach secrecy because RCMP Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn warned him he would face criminal prosecution.

Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission Act (David and Joyce Milgaard's Law)  Madam Speaker, I am not a lawyer. I have no experience with the legal side of things. I understand that what the member is referring to is complex issue. It is true that some people use every possible legal procedure and all the courts they can to delay the judicial process in their case.

Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission Act (David and Joyce Milgaard's Law)  Madam Speaker, my colleague asked a good question. I understand her, and I agree with what she said about people who are less well off and more vulnerable. They may not necessarily have the access or the money to actively engage in the judicial process, which requires hiring legal advisers and good lawyers.

Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission Act (David and Joyce Milgaard's Law)  Madam Speaker, I think it is obvious. We are governed by the Official Languages Act in Canada. However, when it comes to enforcing the act or being consistent when independent commissions or committees are set up, there is resistance. We do not understand this resistance, because it stands to reason that, here in Canada, in Quebec and in the other provinces, services must be provided in both official languages, French and English.

Miscarriage of Justice Review Commission Act (David and Joyce Milgaard's Law)  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to speak to Bill C‑40. This bill seeks to modernize the Canadian justice system by creating the miscarriage of justice review commission to address shortcomings in the processing of miscarriage of justice applications. We are all aware of this issue; it has been rather well documented.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, it is with emotion today that I table petition e-4915 signed by more than 1,000 people. This petition is the fruit of efforts by the family of Nancy Lefrançois and Loïc Chevalier, who were both victims of a terrible multi-vehicle collision. The driver, who was the subject of a Canada-wide warrant, has never been brought to justice because he is no longer on Canadian soil.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, when I was speaking in French, I know that some colleagues on both sides of the House were not wearing their earpiece and therefore did not understand what I was saying. There are people in the gallery who came to listen to what I was saying and noticed that I did not have the respect of the House when I tabled a petition that means so much to them.

40th Anniversary of Maison d'hébergement dépannage de Valleyfield  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to highlight the 40th anniversary of the Maison d'hébergement dépannage de Valleyfield, or MHDV. Forty years ago, a group of community builders decided to help people experiencing homelessness and in crisis. I would be remiss if I did not highlight the invaluable contribution made by Émile Duhamel, one of the community builders behind MHDV.

Online Harms Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, who is from the neighbouring constituency. She is right. I totally agree that we need to take action to eliminate or reduce all types of hate speech on platforms and on the Internet. It feels like the wild west. She is totally right. Where do we draw the line?

Online Harms Act  Mr. Speaker, the issue raised by my colleague is just one example of something that could be studied and debated in committee. For instance, experts could share their expertise on algorithm management. As legislators, our goal is to improve the bill. What my colleague is proposing is one of the things that will probably be discussed in committee.

Online Harms Act  Mr. Speaker, I hope we are going to discuss this and be able to amend the bill, because we do not understand why this aspect was not included. I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the schoolchildren from École Edgar-Hébert, who are here with us today to observe our work in the House and see what a good job the Speaker is doing.
