Government Business No. 34—Proceedings on Bill C-62  Madam Speaker, there is wisdom in life, in our decisions, but fear should never dictate our actions. I do not want use the word “chaos”, but I think we need to recognize all the work that has been done on this file. Today's bill adds a three-year delay to the inevitable question

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I do believe we are talking about the Liberal government's economic statement. However, the speech I heard was more about criticizing the opposition, even though the topic is actually the government's economic statement. They say they are taking care of people. I

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleagues for their comments, which illustrate that the money provided by the federal government, by way of our taxes, I would point out, is not being invested in the right place. Speaking of urgent needs, there are two files we have been working for y

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, the question as to whether our Conservative colleagues are in favour of this bill to prevent the use of scabs in the event of a labour dispute, strike or lockout is certainly relevant. It is a simple question. The reason this bill is under consideration now is tha

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, this is the third time that my Conservative colleagues have mentioned the use of replacement workers, or foreign workers, in factories in Windsor or in battery factories. Bill C‑58 deals with something else entirely. That is crystal clear. Although the bill refers

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Quebec for his speech, but I do not understand what his actual position will be when we vote on Bill C‑58, which aims to protect striking and locked-out workers by preventing employers from using scabs during labour disputes. W

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, it was wonderful to hear all the arguments that were in no way connected to Bill C-58. It was a thing of beauty. I am going to ask the member a clear question. Bill C-58 is intended to prevent the use of scabs in the workplace so that proper negotiations can take pl

Canadian Aviation Regulations  Madam Speaker, we are considering Motion No. 96 today because there are some very significant shortfalls in Canada's firefighting regulations. I would like to name two of them, which are cited in the motion. The regulations fail “to specify rescue as a required function of airpo

Canadian Aviation Regulations  Madam Speaker, I broke the rules. I wanted to acknowledge him because the Aéroports de Montréal Fire Service recognizes in this motion a unanimous desire to modernize the Canadian aviation regulations. It is urgent. They say this is a sincere and shared desire to improve safety f

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, as the saying goes, one step forward, two steps back. That is the impression I am getting from this debate. We are concerned about people who are struggling with the cost of living, and we are concerned about the housing crisis that is affecting our constituents. How

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, through you, I would like to point out to my colleague that Quebec's agriculture sector is not regulated by federal carbon pricing or the Quebec carbon market. If the Conservatives are so concerned about farmers, what is their game plan for fighting climate change

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, through you, I would like to ask a question of my colleague, who is doing a tremendous job getting to the truth on this file. An unimaginable blunder has happened here. I know my colleague did not have enough time to finish his speech. I would like to know what me

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, is it a benefit? I dare say it is a right. It has become important in terms of regulating labour relations during disputes. We know it is a fundamental right, as I just said. Allowing this right to be fully exercised without interference forces the parties to come

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, some Quebec unions welcome this bill. I will talk only about Quebec, not British Columbia. People have already had to turn to the courts in Quebec. Quebec's legislation was passed in 1977. Of course, in 2023, the whole workplace issue has changed; I am thinking amon

Canada Labour Code  Mr. Speaker, when we say it is important to pass this bill and send it to committee, it is because we see that it would not affect federal employees. That is rather worrisome. During the last strike, federal employees who were working from home or working as subcontractors were
