Reduction of Recidivism Framework Act Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise this evening to speak to Bill C‑228, which proposes a way to better support inmates in federal prisons in order to minimize recidivism.

Reduction of Recidivism Framework Act Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague. I was deeply moved by his personal story. I want to talk about a part of his speech when he gave examples of places elsewhere in the world that are doing much better than Canada. He mentioned the United Kingdom, but there is an example closer t

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I really liked that he mentioned the social movements, the women's movement and the labour movement. I especially appreciate his ability to tie in Camus, Sartre, Miron, no matter what he is talking about. What really stood out

Climate Change Accountability Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. It is critically important. We totally agree on that. I was talking to my colleagues in the NDP who also worked on this. They made constructive comments on changes to make to the bill. I hope it will get to committee. We hav

Climate Change Accountability Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Of course we did a lot of research when preparing Bill C-215. It is based on an international agreement among a number of countries, the Paris Agreement. Canada ratified this agreement but is not obligated to enforce it in it

Climate Change Accountability Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his interesting question. He is right. Canada has plenty of natural resources, which is what makes for that beautiful diversity. Unfortunately, I do not agree with him. There are indeed some energy sources that are more polluting than othe

Income Tax Act Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her speech. Bill C-9 is a good bill, but it does not solve every problem. More specialized sectors such as air transportation and regional airports are going to need more targeted aid. Their losses are in the billions of dollars. Al

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I like the fact that my colleague brought us back to the beginning of the pandemic. Programs were launched quickly and the government forgot one especially important industry. One of Quebec's great tourism regions is Gaspé, which is located in the riding represent

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He is my riding neighbour and I want to acknowledge him. He spoke a lot about the regional relief and recovery fund, the RRRF, which was well received in my region of the Lower St. Lawrence and the Gaspé. I would like to take t

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Of course, the Bloc Québécois welcomes the motion. In Quebec, the tourism industry and the restaurant industry have been going through difficult times, as elsewhere in the country. In the Gaspé Peninsula and the Lower St. Lawrenc

Victims of the October Crisis Mr. Speaker, it is not the Bloc Québécois that is calling for a formal apology for the war measures, it is the victims of wrongful arrest, detention without charge and intimidation, whose words I will share today. It is people like Serge Mongeau, who said, and I quote, “The wors

Criminal Code Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. He mentioned the December 18 deadline and seemed worried that we are moving too fast with this bill, but in my opinion, the government has already asked the courts for enough extensions. Does my colleague agree that the reasonab
