Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleague's party is always quick to stand up for the most vulnerable, much like the Bloc Québécois stands up for Quebeckers.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that my colleague is encouraging me to talk about this subject because it is another one of my passions.

Proceedings of the House and Committees  Mr. Speaker, in another life, my colleague was a nurse, and my colleague from Longueuil—Saint-Hubert just paid her a beautiful tribute.
