Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the Copernicus observatory is reporting that 2023 will be the warmest year on record. At the same time, the commissioner of the environment has revealed that Canada will once again miss its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target. This tenth federal climate plan since

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals want to combat climate change, as long as it does not cost them too many votes. They will continue to grant subsidies to oil and gas companies and weaken carbon pricing if that is what it takes to win votes. The bottom line is that the federal governmen

Oil and Gas Industry  Mr. Speaker, COP28 begins next Thursday, and Canada is about to show up empty-handed. It is about to show up without a regulatory framework for capping emissions in the oil and gas sector, the biggest culprit when it comes to climate change. We have been waiting two years for thi

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to speak to this bill. As my colleague from Thérèse-De Blainville said, we feel like saying “finally”. The Bloc Québécois has been working for an extremely long time to have such a bill introduced and studied. As my colleague mentioned, the first

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, the committee will obviously be able to ask officials questions about that expertise and the 18-month delay. Is it necessary to wait that long? We have talked about the law in Quebec and the law in British Columbia. I think the federal government has quite a few too

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for asking her question in French. That is always appreciated. I think that we have seen many examples of lockouts and strikes in Quebec where the workers were not federally regulated. When there are no replacement workers being brought in durin

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, from what I understand of this legislation, it is quite good. There might even be some progress. That makes sense. As my colleague said earlier, Quebec forged ahead in 1977 when it passed similar legislation. Of course, if there are improvements that could be made he

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, it seems that this great Canada, which is so different from Quebec, may be resistant to this, either for unknown reasons or for the reasons my colleague before me mentioned. However, I think it is important to move forward and pass this kind of bill immediately. Par

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, that is correct. There is no interpretation.

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, as I said earlier, the Bloc Québécois introduced 11 anti-scab bills before the government introduced this one. To give a little background, when the member for Bécancour—Nicolet—Saurel, the dean of the House, introduced his bill in 1990, the Liberals voted overwhel

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, a little earlier this year, The Canadian Press reported the following: According to a report, Royal Bank of Canada was the biggest fossil fuel financier in the world last year after providing over $42 billion U.S. in funding in 2022, $3 billion U.S. more than in 20

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, COP28 starts today and the Liberals have already had time to make another cowardly decision on climate change. Just yesterday, Canada announced that it refuses to include in the final statement that we must one day give up fossil fuels. COP had not even started and

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and his work. I know that the NDP has wanted this bill for a long time, and the same goes for the Bloc Québécois. We introduced anti-scab legislation at least 11 times over the years. We have been waiting for this for a long time.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I see that my colleague is using his speaking time in the House to chant campaign slogans and even announce some new candidates for the next election, which is scheduled to take place in a year and a half, rather than talking about the bill before us. That being s

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by asking for unanimous consent to share my time.
