Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, I am wondering what country my colleague actually lives in. I listened to him brag about what his government has done to deal with the housing crisis. The Liberals have been in power for eight years. I did a tour of Quebec. I travelled all around the province. Hom

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, the federal housing advocate, which is a body tasked by the federal government with ensuring that the right to housing is respected in this country, issued a report a few weeks ago stating that Canada will need a staggering 9 million housing units and 3.3 million s

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague. More than that, I want to congratulate him on his French. I think he delivered about half of his speech in French, which is amazing. Seriously, kudos to him, and I am very happy to hear French in the House. At its press conference in Ottawa t

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, I am always happy to talk about housing. Earlier, I asked my Conservative colleague a question about the financialization of housing and the growing number of large investment funds buying up housing in Canada. This is a huge problem. We know that, for every affor

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, there was one part of my colleague's speech that I really liked. When he talked about the housing crisis, he said it is a complex issue. He is right. At some point, the government is going to need to wake up and face the facts. Those 3.5 million housing units will

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, but once again it was little more than an infomercial for the Liberal government's action on housing. That is rather unfortunate, because the housing crisis is a major problem, and the further along we get in the debate, the m

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Madam Speaker, as usual, the Liberal members are awfully pleased with themselves. They are bragging about their government's achievements. My colleague had a lot to say about housing. Unfortunately, the GST rebate in Bill C‑56 is not going to make much of a dent in the housing c

Government Business No. 30—Proceedings on Bill C-56  Mr. Speaker, I can hardly believe this. Today, my colleague tells us it is urgent, that we must quickly pass Bill C-56 for its housing initiatives. The GST credit is a marginal measure to fight the housing crisis. Still, in the economic update, two days ago, we had a unique oppo

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, I want to thank and congratulate my colleague. I am not sure why, but I feel like talking to her about the end of her speech, which I found interesting. Here we are, discussing a bill on scabs when a similar bill was passed in Quebec 46 years ago and has been in f

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I think that the Chair ruled earlier. She gave the member a break, but he is taking advantage. That was two minutes ago and he is still hammering on about Stellantis, which has nothing to do with the extremely important bill we are now debating.

10th Anniversary of Femmes d’ici et d’ailleurs  Mr. Speaker, last week, we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the organization Femmes d’ici et d’ailleurs. That represents 10 years of hard work, love and dedication to the Longueuil community. We celebrated the strength and resilience of Zainab Akkaoui, the director of the organ

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I was struck by something my colleague said in his speech. He said that the bill itself does not need to be overly specific. There is an airport in my riding, the Saint-Hubert airport. I held a public consultation on the subject last year, because this airport's d

Court Challenges Program Act  Yes, Madam Speaker, we are still paying. In order for French to survive, we need something fundamental that was set out in Bill 101. It set out that, from then on, people who arrived in Quebec—people we need and who enrich Quebec with all of their cultures, colours and flavours—

Court Challenges Program Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for pointing out, at the end of his speech, an unacceptable thing that happened. I am talking about a situation where Radio-Canada used a Paris-based company to record a podcast because people in France do not like the Quebec accent. That is ve

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her very clear and enlightening speech on the repercussions of climate change and the social cost of not taking care of the environment. Our Conservative friends could not care less about that, but there is a social cost. My colleague
