Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, first, if I understand correctly, we all agree on passing Bill C‑42. We have taken our speaking time to say that we agree but there are some flaws we needed to think about. The Conservatives are doing the same thing. If the Liberals or the NDP do not take their speak

Canada Business Corporations Act  Mr. Speaker, there is already a law affectionately called the Red Tape Reduction Act. It should be enforced intelligently; that would help businesses. According to this act, if one page is added to a form, one should be removed elsewhere. That is the problem: It has to be removed

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, with regard to Bill C‑42, if we were to talk to our constituents today about money laundering and ask them what it is, how it works and how to stop it, I am sure they would have fairly clear and strong opinions about it. However, some would think that we are still

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, in his speech, my colleague spoke about certain loopholes, particularly with regard to individuals who facilitate money laundering. I am referring to lawyers, notaries and other professionals. Would my colleague agree that, at some point, we should also legislate

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, my colleague spoke emotionally about the need to provide and share information. My question is quite simple. What concrete steps can we take to improve these processes for both victims and the system?

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I think that we can all agree that it is important that the justice system fully recognize the rights of victims, that they do not feel victimized for the rest of their lives, and that they can thrive over time. Cases involving individuals such as Paul Bernardo are

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I have four children, and they are all grown up or almost. The younger ones are 13 and 15 years old. The oldest is 24, and she started day care about the time that the program was created. My children were in different types of day care, which were all subsidized.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I find that what we are seeing and what we are hearing today to be a bit ironic. On the one hand, a colleague is saying that the Conservative Party is never happy and we never do anything. On the other hand, his party also does nothing, and it never has. My colleague

CKRL Community Radio  Mr. Speaker, there was a time when just about every town had its own community radio station. Back then, people had access to more diversity in terms of music and news. One by one, community radio stations were replaced by commercial radio stations. It has now become virtually un

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, by establishing an early childhood education system, we are helping women return to work and also to school. We are creating an ecosystem that supports the local economy and community support. I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about that.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I agree with some aspects of my colleague's speech but disagree with others. That is the beauty of being human. We can agree and disagree while respecting each other. That said, I would like to know the member's opinion on a surprise tucked away in the deepest reces

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, technology is advancing rapidly. Solar, wind and hydro are types of energy that can be considered renewable. We need them. Increasing GHGs in various ways will not help minimize environmental damage. By the way, the best energy is always the energy we do not use.

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, in response to my colleague, I would like to remind her of the opposition's role in democracy. When I arrived in the House, someone told me that my role as a member of the opposition was not to enable the government to function, but to obstruct it at all costs. Pe

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I wish my colleague's nephew a happy birthday. I know the Remparts beat the Kamloops team and really enjoyed their stay in Kamloops. With respect to consensus, time allocation is not the best way to reach it. We have to find other approaches, maybe different ways

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, allow me to begin my comments by talking a little about the situation in Quebec and Canada. My thoughts are with everyone affected by the fires, whether in Halifax, northern Ontario, or in Quebec in Abitibi, Témiscamingue or the north shore, where I have family and
