Climate Change Accountability Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-215, An Act respecting Canada’s fulfillment of its greenhouse gas emissions reduction obligations. Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to introduce my first bill in the House of Commons. As an environmentalist and as the Bloc Québécois climate chan

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the rail crisis will not be resolved without dialogue with the Wet'suwet'en. Fortunately, despite the government's inaction, the RCMP understood that it was part of the problem and agreed to withdraw from the territory. So much the better, but the bond of trust with

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech, which was very moving. I understand that this is an extremely important bill that we want to pass as quickly as possible. It is very important to do so. There was a suggestion that groups be consulted. That is a very good idea.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the rail blockade was caused by the RCMP. It was the RCMP that sparked the conflict by ordering its officers to arrest peaceful Wet'suwet'en protesters. It was the RCMP that ordered its officers to use as much force as possible, including snipers, to break up the pro

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, to resolve the crisis, will the Prime Minister ask for the withdrawal of the RCMP from Wet'suwet'en territory and apologize for the RCMP's mistakes?

Relations with Indigenous Peoples  Madam Speaker, I had a question all ready for my colleague, but the Conservative member got me thinking about something. From what I understand, the RCMP deployed members on the ground, including snipers, to put an end to the peaceful protests. I do not know what exactly was said

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague spoke a lot about the expertise of the people who sit on the Parole Board. However, we have noticed that there are flaws in the system, and that is what led to the current situation. I would like to know whether the member thinks it is right that correc

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, as I said, one must always be careful when commenting on this kind of situation, but sometimes we have no choice. The fact that this man was allowed to see prostitutes and access such services is unacceptable. This means that the system knew what was going on. The

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I think a good start would be for all of us to sit down together to determine what led to this situation. We can all agree that it must never happen again. An external investigation would solve many problems, and outside scrut

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his comment. I do not understand why we had to wait for something like this to occur before asking the necessary questions. There was evidence in 2017, 2018 and 2019 that something was not working properly. These circumstances had to arise

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to start by saying that I will be sharing my time with my colleague, the member for Rivière-du-Nord. With his expertise in law, he will be able to probe into the specific details of the case that brings us here today. Today's motion is a particularly

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, the proposed Teck Frontier oil sands mine will produce at least four million tonnes of greenhouse gas every year for 40 years. That is like putting an extra one million cars on our roads or driving from Vancouver to Montreal and back four million times. During the

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, this is the moment of truth. The government cannot claim to be fighting climate change if it approves the Teck Frontier project. The Frontier project means 260,000 barrels of bitumen a day for 40 years and at least four million tonnes of CO2 a year. That spells the e

Employment  Mr. Speaker, community organizations and the smallest municipalities are concerned about the delays in the federal summer jobs program. These subsidies for hiring students often make all the difference for organizations with limited means. It is also a good job opportunity for y

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, the Premier of Quebec, François Legault, will meet with the Prime Minister in a few hours. I recall that during the election campaign, Mr. Legault made it clear that Quebec's environmental laws would apply at all times, including to federal projects. In the first w
