Marine Transportation  Mr. Speaker, the federal government gave Irving Oil $500 million in public funds and gave none to Davie. The federal government is investing Quebeckers' money against Quebeckers, but we know how to get things done. Together, Davie and the Government of Quebec invested $840 millio

Marine Transportation  Mr. Speaker, when the federal government finally appointed Davie as the third partner in the national shipbuilding strategy, we thought things would get better in Quebec City. Has anything changed? No, nothing has changed. The federal government gave Irving nearly $500 million t

Québec Capitales Baseball Team  Mr. Speaker, Quebec City's baseball team, the Capitales, are the champions for the second straight season. They beat out the Evansville Otters to win the Frontier League championship. Once again, baseball fans turned out in droves, breaking the attendance record with a season to

Labour  Mr. Speaker, it has been a year since the longshore workers at the Port of Québec were first locked out. Some of those workers have lost their homes. Couples have divorced. People are drowning in debt. This is more than a labour dispute. It is a real tragedy for dozens, almost a

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I will repeat the question I asked previously. I know how passionate the member is about the protection of marine environments, especially shorelines. Can she guarantee that no project, not even for an offshore wind farm, will be undertaken in marine protected areas

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about offshore wind power. I saw a project like that in Denmark that seemed interesting. I just want to make sure that none of these wind development projects will be built in an at-risk or protected marine area and no protected marine area will

Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, moving toward renewable energies is a path forward that we must consider. However, we must also think about workers' rights. Sometimes the devil is in the details. Subsection 25(4.2) on page 16 stipulates that any person employed by the Canada-Newfoundland and Labra

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
