Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, this is fundamental. The analysis we made and the comments we received when we drafted the bill have provided the right feedback to be compliant. I understand that stability and predictability is important.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, my colleague raised important issues. I know Jim Balsillie. He is a very important voice in our country when it comes to the digital economy. I would invite the members to study these issues at committee. We want to send the bill to committee so that different voic

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, my colleague raised an important issue. The provision in the bill on the issue of consent needs to be strong. It needs to be informed consent.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé, or my neighbour, I should say, for his important question.

Aerospace Industry  Mr. Speaker, I thank my excellent colleague for her question. I am well aware of how important the space exploration sector is for the people of Longueuil, particularly since the Canadian Space Agency is headquartered there. Our government proudly reinvested in this vital secto

Health  Mr. Speaker, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11. Twelve days after, we announced $192 million to support biomanufacturing in this country. On April 23, we announced a further $600 million. If we add it up, in about one month from the time COVID was decl

Health  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. On the contrary, as I said, we took immediate strategic action guided by a long-term vision. Investing $350 million in biomanufacturing in Quebec is exactly the kind of thing Quebeckers want to see. I mentioned Dr. Kobinger e

Health  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. However, I want to set the record straight. On March 11, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic, and 12 days later, the federal government announced $192 million to support Canada's biomanufacturing industry. On Apri

Health  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. As I told him, the federal government made nearly $800 million available in under a month. I will be a little more specific, because I know he is going to be interested. We have made historic investments. For example, we have
