Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, it is Christmas and I want to thank the turkey farmers for doing an amazing job providing turkeys for all of us during Christmas. The one thing that the entire supply-managed sector is asking of us is to support Bill C-282. I know that caucus is split, but our cau

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, it is the Christmas season and I want to thank all farmers who are providing food for Canadians. What the hon. member is not telling his constituents and dairy farmers is that last week he had a choice. He had a choice to support dairy farmers and all supply-manag

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I see the enthusiasm they have for a particular bill on the other side. I do not hear them being as loud in supporting Bill C-282, a bill we unanimously supported on this side of the House that supports supply management. Where is the member and the other side of

Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate the member. Bravo on the great performance. However, I am going to remind him that every time grain farmers come to Ottawa they ask for new markets. The Conservatives had a choice last week. They had a choice to support grain farmers, suppor

Christmas Greetings  Madam Speaker, another year has come and gone, and the holiday season is now upon us. I would like to wish a merry Christmas to all members, assistants, pages, support staff, civil servants, and all Canadians. The Christmas spirit is very much alive in Glengarry—Prescott—Russell

Foreign Hostage Takers Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I know that the member mentioned that she worked in the office of the minister of foreign affairs in a previous government, and she said that she had identified some gaps.

News Media Industry  Madam Speaker, first, let me say that my thoughts are with the workers and their families affected by the TVA layoffs. We have implemented measures to help the journalism sector, and we are looking into what else we can do. The Minister of Canadian Heritage is open to all propos

News Media Industry  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. This agreement will inject $100 million annually into our media, and it will be indexed to inflation each year. This is good news for our local media. It is good news for media in Quebec. Our agreement also provides that, if

Gender-based Violence  Madam Speaker, despite the progress we have made, gender-based violence continues to be a problem in Canada. According to the statistics, 44% of women have experienced some form of intimate partner violence at least once since age 15. That is unacceptable. During the 16 days o

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I do not think I heard my Bloc Québécois colleague clearly state whether or not that applies to Quebec. I am asking him again to clearly tell the House whether the carbon tax applies to Quebec, as claimed in the disinformation campaign by Conservative members from

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, the House has already pronounced itself on this particular bill, but I will talk about support for farmers. Why did the leader of the official opposition cut $200 million when he was at the cabinet table to support farmers for business risk management? The leader
