Relations with Indigenous Peoples  Madam Speaker, I have two questions for the member. First, I wonder if she could address the consultation process with the hereditary chiefs who are not in favour of the pipeline.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I will reiterate the benefits for our aluminum in case the member was not here when I mentioned them before.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to appeal to the Bloc today. I am sorry, I do not speak French.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I have two quick comments. One is on the question of competitiveness just raised by the opposition.
