Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question. Based on what I have seen of the bill so far, I could not say. Quite honestly, I have no idea if this bill will do more to protect seniors from scams. I know these kinds of scams are happening in my riding in the Lower St. Lawrence

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, indeed, the committee has heard from several experts on this subject. They told us that there is currently nothing to force companies, whether they are federally regulated or not, to report when they are victims of cyber-attacks, for example. They can just not repo

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, I will begin by saying that I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Abitibi—Témiscamingue. I am pleased to speak to this bill, which, I must say, was eagerly awaited by my party. The Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security had the opp

National Council for Reconciliation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I am very pleased to see that there is a consensus in the House, that everyone pretty much supports this bill. I would like to know if she believes that the government has done enough since the Truth and Reconciliation Commiss

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, next week, Canada is inviting—

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, next week, Canada is inviting the entire world to COP15 to talk about biodiversity. In the meantime, in Newfoundland, five oil companies have won the right to do offshore exploratory drilling without an environmental assessment to find oil in the middle of a marine

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, there are more than just whales in the waters off Newfoundland. There is coral too. Do members realize that the federal government has imposed restrictions on fishing to protect the coral? Fishers do not have the right to engage in any kind of bottom-contact fishin

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Environment has a lot of explaining to do when it comes to the role Canada played at COP27. He personally did everything in his power to prevent a line about the importance of phasing out all fossil fuels from being included in the final declaration.

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, Canada's performance at COP27 was disappointing on three fronts. First, the Prime Minister did not even attend. Second, Canada invited the oil companies to sit at the head table. Third, the Minister of Environment prevented countries from talking about the importanc

Climate Change  Mr. Speaker, Canada got a failing grade at COP27. Next up is the biodiversity conference, COP15. What happened in Newfoundland while the minister was in Egypt? Five oil companies got the green light for oil exploration in a marine protected area. Canada does not even allow fishin

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. She cited many examples of past complaints to the Canada Border Services Agency. I know that there have been complaints about sexual harassment and even about sexual assault. These are serious complaints. As my colleague said, wh

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I hope so. I do not have the figures or the details about the complaints filed in recent years, but I imagine that the degrading comments made about certain people involved gender or nationality. We want to avoid this at all costs. Once again, I do not want to pu

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his kind words and for his comments. I am in perfect agreement with him. It is discouraging, and it is difficult not to become cynical when you look at the procedural wrangling in Parliament. Bills that are important to Canadians die on th

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I completely agree with my colleague. I think this sends the right message to the public. It is a message that might restore public confidence in the country's institutions. We know that, both for the Canada Border Services Agency and for institutions in general,

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, with whom it is a pleasure to work on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. What an excellent proposal. I believe it is important that all bodies be representative. We often hear that our parliaments should reflect th
