Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I was a teacher in a previous life. One of the classes I taught was called “Methodology of Intellectual Work”.

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, in his speech, my colleague mused about what Canadian values are.

Government Business No. 10—Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I have read and reread the bill, which repeatedly states that users will not be subject to the same rules as broadcasters.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, like my colleague, I took the time to read and analyze the budget. When taking notes, I use a red pen to indicate interference in Quebec's and the provinces' jurisdictions. There was a lot of red ink. What does my colleague think of this aspect of the budget and j

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Madam Speaker, in more than 150 years, we have had to deal with a pandemic only once.

An Act to Provide Further Support in Response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, my colleague is talking about SMEs and the difficulties that they have had throughout the pandemic and they might continue having, particularly with regard to the labour shortage.

An Act to Provide Further Support in Response to COVID-19  Madam Speaker, Bill C-2 does contain some good measures, particularly the support that is finally being provided to carriers that offer charter bus services.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, we are all here to listen to our colleagues' speeches and clarifications.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Madam Speaker, the speech by my colleague in the government contains several elements I would like to inquire about.

Business of the House  Mr. Speaker, today is December 6, and I want to join my colleagues in taking a few moments to think about the victims of the École Polytechnique massacre and their loved ones.

Business of the House  Mr. Speaker, the member should not try to put words in my mouth. Everyone has the right to be protected.
