Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very moving speech. I spent some time yesterday paying my respects at the centennial flame, right here on Parliament Hill, where people have come to leave plush toys, children's shoes and messages. One of the people there told me how m

Income Tax Act  Madam Speaker, I will not beat around the bush. The Bloc Québécois will be voting against Bill C-262. My colleague from Jonquière said as much before me. We will vote against the bill for one very simple reason. We refuse to provide this type of subsidy for fossil fuels and non-

The Environment  Madam Speaker, tomorrow is World Environment Day. I would like to take this opportunity to remind the House that, when Ottawa announced its new greenhouse gas reduction targets, it promised to give those targets force of law. On April 22, the Minister of Canadian Heritage said,

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, on April 22, Ottawa announced its new target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% to 50% by 2030. The same day, the government promised me in the House that it would include this new target in Bill C-12, but it did not. The government did not include this new

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. She is right to say that we need to address the lack of access to housing. For example, Carleton-sur-Mer, in my riding, wants to attract more young families and more people to the area. This unfortunately is not happening becaus

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. As I was saying earlier, the housing crisis is also being felt in the Gaspé. However, we recently got some good news. Two housing projects for people in need will be able to move forward, including in Chandler and in my riding i

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I have to say that it is refreshing to see the Conservatives take an interest in the housing crisis. However, let us be frank, this is not a crisis that emerged overnight. It has existed for several years. I do not understand

Extension of Sitting Hours in June  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I suspect we are debating this motion because the Liberals may not have managed their legislative agenda properly and now we need to work quickly to pass all the important bills. The NDP also wants Bill C‑12 to be passed quick

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He relayed how difficult it has been for SMEs and how the Canada emergency wage subsidy helped them out. It also helped other organizations, namely the political parties. The government just proposed an amendment on that becau

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his speech. He talked a lot about the cultural industry and that is good, but it is not the subject of today's motion. I understand that the government recognizes the Quebec nation, but it does not necessarily recognize the fact that Quebec

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent speech. It is always a pleasure to listen to her speak about Quebec and the Quebec nation. What a coincidence that the Minister of Official Languages chose today to table her bill to modernize the Official Languages Act. In my

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I especially appreciated how she ended it. I have to say that I listen a lot to Loco Locass these days. As the national holiday approaches, I am immersing myself in our Quebec folklore. With respect to the bill on modernizing the

Fisheries Act  Mr. Speaker, first of all, I must say that the Bloc Québécois welcomes the Conservatives' desire to engage in a debate on water quality and the pollution of our rivers. At first glance, it might be surprising to see the Conservatives interested in the issue of water pollution. L

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I also ask for unanimous consent to give a supplementary opinion to the report of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security that was just tabled.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois would like to thank all the witnesses and groups who participated in this important study on discrimination by police forces. It is important to us that significant action be taken so that everyone can live in a society where they feel safe. We be
