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

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  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

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

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  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

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

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

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

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

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. He is quite right in his comments. Nick Auf der Maur was indeed among the people who were put in jail. We consider the death of Pierre Laporte to be a national tragedy. It should never have happened. The Bloc Québécois readily

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, no one is denying that Pierre Laporte was killed in Quebec and that it was tragic. However, our motion is about the nearly 500 people who were arrested. I am pleased that the member brought up the story of Jocelyne Robert. I encourage members to visit the Bloc Québé

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. I am very pleased to rise to speak to this motion. I do so with great humility and compassion, because this motion is about compassion for the people who were unjustly imprisoned in 1970. My

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I have a simple question. Bill C-7 is very important, and all of the questions it raises are very delicate. However, right now, there are people who are expecting us and the federal government to pass legislation. Does my collea

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed my hon. colleague's speech. I found one aspect somewhat intriguing. Everyone agrees that we need to pass this bill quickly. Some people who have experienced trauma are waiting for us to pass it. However, there are several other pressing issues, incl
