Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very relevant question. I would agree that what is being done for tourism is a step in the right direction. However, in my view, the assistance needs to be more targeted. As my colleague said, $200 million is being allocated to festival

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I agree that there needs to be a transition. It would ultimately cost more not to make a transition. We completely understand that there are good jobs in some sectors and that no one wants to see those jobs disappear. However,

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, and I will follow up on what was just discussed. It is interesting to hear that the most polluting sectors need help making this transition. I do think that may be a good idea. However, the government continues to take taxpayer

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech. I must admit, however, that I am having a bit of a hard time with the NDP’s rhetoric. The hon. member said that the budget does not go far enough, that it is the status quo, that it does not give people what they re

Health  Madam Speaker, yesterday, the COVID-19 testing and screening expert advisory panel recommended that the government stop hotel quarantines, not for health reasons, but because the quarantines are ineffective owing to the government's disastrous management. That is not a recommenda

Health  Madam Speaker, public health authorities must be the ones driving the process. The hotel quarantine program is not the problem. The problem is the federal government's incompetent management of the border. Until travel is safe again, returning travellers must be monitored. Peopl

Sex-Selective Abortion Act  Madam Speaker, today we are debating an extremely sensitive topic that should not even be up for debate, in my view. I cannot believe that the Conservatives want to reopen the abortion debate. It boggles the mind. Let us just say what this bill really is. Bill C-233 is an anti-a

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the Centennial Flame unveiled on July 1, 1967, on Parliament Hill in Ottawa: (a) what fuel is used to enable the flame to burn perpetually; (b) what is the price per cubic metre of the fuel used and, if applicable, how much gas is used annually to keep the flame bu

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. As my colleagues have said, the Bloc Québécois is mostly in favour of this motion. However, we have a bit of a problem with part (g) because information could be disclosed and could compromise national security if it is made pu

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech, and also for her work on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. It is very pleasant working with her.

Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999  Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise in the House, especially to talk about the environment and how we must move forward on protecting the environment and reducing greenhouse gases. I have to say that it is rather refreshing to see members of the Conservative Party int

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his speech. I was rather annoyed to hear the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indigenous Services say earlier that the federal government had funded the search at Kamloops. In fact, the Toronto Star reported earlier this week that t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. As my Bloc Québécois colleagues have said before me, we will vote in favour of this extremely important motion. We are in full agreement with every item in the motion. In light of what happened in Kamloops, we are calling for s

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Yesterday, in question period, the Prime Minister said that his government invested $33.8 million to implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action 71 to 76. However, when we look at the Public Accounts of

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the minister for his remarks. His sincerity truly comes across in his voice. In the current circumstances, that is very much appreciated. I will ask him a question that I asked my other colleague a bit earlier. I think that the minister is in the best posi
