Historic Places of Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I am also of the opinion that Bill C-23 should be sent to committee so that we can make any necessary changes. My colleague ended his speech by talking about the challenges with this bill. Even just looking at clause 2, the definitions, I do not see a clear definiti

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on the answer we were given earlier, that consultations are being held on the steps to be taken to improve the forced labour situation, that is to say to eradicate it. With respect to children, the Convention on the Right

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, my colleague mentioned that there are international conventions, particularly to protect the rights of children. In spite of that, every day, children still work for pennies a day in factories without adequate ventilation or health and safety protections. Too many o

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, for decades, influential consulting firms have been telling companies, especially American and Canadians ones, to outsource their production to cut costs associated with wages and corporate social responsibility. That has led to massive job losses here, but also wo

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, as members know, I was a history teacher. One of the biggest fears of historians—something I do not claim to be since I just taught the subject, which is a tough enough job—is to see the mistakes of the past being repeated. Regardless of who was or was not there

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I was curious to hear my colleague's opinion on apps that use games or quizzes to not only get information out of the people who respond, but also access their cellphone contacts. Does my colleague think the bill should legislate that?

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I agree with some of the points my colleague made regarding concerns about privacy violations. It really gets on my nerves too when I am looking at something and suddenly get bombarded with ads. We need laws to deal with that. Here is my question for my colleague

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, my colleague has shown that he is quite open to the possibility of amending the bill. Amending a bill and passing it is not something that is done lightly. I do not need to tell anyone that. Issues must be studied in depth, which most parliamentarians do not do wh

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, at the beginning of his speech, my colleague talked about the progress Quebec has made with Bill 25. Bill C-27 appears to provide some protection or at least not go against Bill 25, but there is no real guarantee. Does my colleague think that this is one of the c

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I completely agree with my colleague that all Canadians, regardless of the size of their wallets, must have timely access to health services. That said, for 30 years, health transfers have been cut by every government in power. In Canada, and not just in Quebec,

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, one of my biggest fears is that our systems, whether it be the health care system or any other Canada-wide system like the agricultural system, will become Americanized. Allowing indiscriminate access to the private sector would make our health care system more li

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to come back to something that my colleague briefly touched on at the end of his speech because members do not seem to understand these three overlapping concepts: secularism, religious neutrality of the state, and state secularism. In the spirit of g
