Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Trois-Rivières. We also have the pleasure of working together on the international scene to defend the French fact. I would like to remind my colleague that the Conservative Party did a lot to ensure that official languages we

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Nanaimo—Ladysmith, who recognizes that what I said in my speech is appreciated by a very large majority of people in the NDP. It is common sense. We need to put money in the right places so that our Canadian families, mothers and fathers, ca

Justice  Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable. I do not know how he can look himself in the mirror at the end of the day. I would like to remind the House that we, the common-sense Conservatives, will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime. This Liberal government al

International Day of La Francophonie  Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, March 20, is International Day of La Francophonie. The Organisation internationale de la Francophonie's theme this year is “Créer, innover, entreprendre en français” or create, innovate and engage in French. As president of the Canadian Branch of the Assem

Right Hon. Brian Mulroney  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, the chief opposition whip and member for South Surrey—White Rock, for her excellent speech. I, too, am pleased to rise today to pay tribute to the Right Hon. Brian Mulroney, the 18th Prime Minister of Canada. Before I list some of his many ac

Privilege  Mr. Speaker, I wish to raise a question of privilege. On this International Day of La Francophonie, the fact that our institution behaved this way is a bit of an embarrassment. I rise today on a question of privilege concerning the Liberal government's chaotic attempt to amend

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Beauce did not get an answer, so I will try again. The Bloc Québécois is keeping this Prime Minister in power, even though he broke our immigration system, raised taxes and doubled our national debt. It is costly to vote for the Bloc Québécois. It

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, my colleague just talked about what Quebeckers understand. He did not understand my question. I will try a third time to get an answer from this government. Food banks are overwhelmed, which is unprecedented in Canada. People who voted for the Bloc Québécois must be

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I am going to talk about another scandal. After eight years of this Liberal government, the number of homeless people across Canada is skyrocketing. Let us take Saint-Jérôme, for example. According to a Radio-Canada article that came out this morning, Isa, a woman w

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, some members of the Bloc Québécois are fairly sensible, but I would like to know how the Bloc Québécois can talk out of both sides of its mouth. When the NDP votes with the minority government, the Bloc Québécois votes against it. When the NDP votes against the Liber

Public Safety  Madam Speaker, this Liberal government has been in power for nine years. We already know, but it bears repeating: It is not worth the cost. In Montreal, it is the wild west. Criminals do not respect authority. On Wednesday, car thieves, behind the wheel of their stolen car, cras

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Mr. Speaker, we request a recorded division.

Jean-Pierre Ferland  Mr. Speaker, Jean-Pierre Ferland made his mark on the history of Quebec and international music with his inimitable voice and timeless compositions. His outstanding career spanned more than six decades, and included popular hits like Je reviens chez nous and Un peu plus haut, un

Finance  Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if I am speaking to the Laval University professor or the Minister of Public Services and Procurement. After nine years of this Prime Minister, the cost of living has never been higher. People are struggling. Mortgages, housing, food, everything costs

Finance  Mr. Speaker, this government makes it sound as though everything is going great, that the economy is doing well. The reality is that people are struggling. They are going into debt to cover their daily living expenses. After nine years of this Prime Minister and his wasteful spe
