Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we are hearing some rather absurd things in the House. I want to come back to the comments of the hon. member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin, who was accusing us of rewriting history. I think we need to bring the debate back to the victims, the 497 people. Earlier I was ta

National Caregiver Week  Mr. Speaker, during national caregiver week, let us all acknowledge caregivers' commitment to the well-being of their family members. Since this year's theme emphasizes the importance of self-care for caregivers, let us commend the invisible work of the people, mostly women, who

House debate  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his comprehensive presentation on the bill before the House. We in the Bloc Québécois have already taken a position on this, but I would still like to ask my colleague a question. Yes, it is a good bill, and I think it sends a clear m

Macadam Sud  Mr. Speaker, I wish to commend Danielle Goulet for her 30 years of involvement with Macadam Sud, a community organization in my riding that helps young people aged 12 to 35 in Longueuil and Montérégie. Ms. Goulet started working with people in need in 1990 as a street outreach w

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. The motion talks about developing a robust plan, as Australia has done, to combat China's growing foreign operations here in Canada and the intimidation of Canadians living in Canada. Last year, La Presse reported that groups ri

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. It is hard to talk about China without talking about human rights violations, and it is hard to talk about human rights violations without talking about Uighurs in China. On October 21, the Subcommittee on International Human R

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question. I will quote an article that appeared in La Presse last year. It read: Hong Kong democracy activists who are studying in Canada say that their freedom of expression is threatened even here. They accuse students from m

Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I am quite worried every time I hear that we need to trust the CRTC. There is no requirement in the bill to broadcast or fund French-language content. That is left up to the CRTC. In another life, I was a spokesperson for Mouvem

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and for his efforts to speak French. I commend him for that. I would like him to clarify something. I am not sure I heard the same thing in French as I did in English. In French, the member said that it was important to protect

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. This bill is obviously very important for us Quebeckers. It could become something that helps to protect the French language, even though it does not right now. Does the member agree with her hon. colleague from Saint-Laurent

Early Childhood Week  Madam Speaker, I want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that this week is early childhood week in Quebec. The idea of designating such a week emerged from the 2015 “Tous pour eux” forum, which brought together local and regional stakeholders on the themes of childhoo

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very interesting speech. For a number of years now, we have been seeing the Liberal government's inaction with respect to the cause of indigenous peoples across Canada and particularly in Quebec. We hear horror stories about reserves t

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's remarks on this bill. I agree with what he said about it being easy to summarize the Liberal government's stance on indigenous issues in this country. My colleague recently made an effort to speak French during a debate on another motio

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. This is for private businesses, and I understand that my colleague may have a problem with that. However, during the pandemic we have seen that the federal government itself had problems verifying people's identity. In my ri

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, I will ask the same question I previously asked another hon. member. It is about data security. The bill targets private companies. With the CERB, we recently saw that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people were victims of fraud. When they receive their notice of a
