Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I do agree with some of the things he said, including the fact that this bill relies too heavily on the CRTC. It is not that the people working for the CRTC are bad people, but I had some bad experiences with the CRTC a few

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question. Instead of the deregulation this motion proposes, why not ask the government to do sector-based investing? For example, it could invest in the aerospace sector, which provides 40,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect job

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Again, the speech is long on good intentions but short on concrete facts about what Canadians want to know: When will we be vaccinated? I heard a public health representative say that, once 70% of the population is vaccinated

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the Minister of Health for her speech. We understand that the vaccine is going to arrive in dribs and drabs and that certain target groups, such as seniors and health care workers, will be vaccinated first. If a large number of doses of the vaccine become

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of empathy for my colleague representing seniors who has to go to bat for his government and deliver an empty speech. The government repeated the same number three or four times, namely, the $300 sent in July, but that was a long time ago. Now it is tal

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, what the Liberals have been telling us since the start of today's sitting is rather absurd. Health falls under provincial jurisdiction. The federal government does not manage any hospitals or pay any doctors. We are calling for health transfers. Since the beginni

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I have been listening attentively to this debate, which is understandably emotional, since this morning. There have been very moving testimonials. I am listening to my friends the Conservatives talk about cancelling the bill or not submitting it for a vote now. I wo

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague seems quite enthusiastic. He talks about the government's commitments and actions. There is a group in Quebec called Mothers Step In. These are mothers and grandmothers who are very worried about climate change and rightly so. They even have a manifesto

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. However, I find it rather odd to hear him say that oil is good because when people go to the grocery store, they send money to the government. Based on available figures, the federal government has invested $70 billion in fossil

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I am sure she is committed to fighting climate change, but I have my doubts about her government, just as I did during last night's emergency debate on the French language, which I watched. There were a lot of good intentions a

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

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

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

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

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
