Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois agrees with the motion, overall. We have the same concerns as the ones already mentioned regarding the 30-day deadline. Why not wait until the Special Committee on Canada-China Relations, which the Conservatives themselves asked for, releases its findings?

Veterans Week  Mr. Speaker, today we mark the start of Veterans Week, which will culminate on Remembrance Day. This year's theme is the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. We must never forget that 150,000 Quebeckers served in that conflict. Today, my thoughts turn especially to my uncle, Private George Desilets, who was killed in action during the Korean War.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, let's talk about scandal. In his speech, my hon. colleague referred to the CERB and the many people who fell through the cracks. We agree with him. Could he answer the question posed by my colleague from Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot? The Liberals clearly said that they would not pay back the CERB they collected.

Bills of Exchange Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Bill C-5 is really exciting and interesting. As we know, it resonates with many Quebeckers because they have always been close to indigenous peoples and they want to maintain that closeness. When we talk about the right to redress in the bill, we are talking about the right of victims to get redress for the harm that was done to them.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to tell my very dear colleagues, who will have the opportunity to correct me, that they may be better than me at history, but it was always one of my favourite subjects at school. In 1970, a few months before the crisis, a provincial election took place.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, our colleague's comments have nothing to do with the motion being debated today. Can he move on to something else?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague talks about wounds still being felt. I was 12 years old at the time, so I did not experience long-term trauma, but I can say that in the weeks and months that followed, I locked my door. We were not allowed to lock the door, but I got the right to do so.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, yes, that is exactly what I said and that is what I can repeat. The War Measures Act was invoked essentially to kill the sovereignty movement. No one would be able to convince me that there were other apparent reasons. Fewer than 10 FLQ members had to appear in court, and they were already targeted anyway.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I half understand my colleague’s question. I thank him for it anyway. I would say that today’s debate is a very simple one. We are not talking about the death that unfortunately occurred and that will always be remembered by everyone—we are talking about an excessive law.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, it is always an honour to rise in this chamber. We have been saying it over and over all day, but I think that some still do not understand. In the middle of the night on October 16, hundreds of Quebeckers were arrested unfairly, arbitrarily and sometimes violently.

Canada Revenue Agency Act  Madam Speaker, we are here today to once again debate the bill to amend the Canada Revenue Agency Act with regard to organ donors. This bill comes from the member for Calgary Confederation, who first introduced it in 2015. It was known then as Bill C-316, and it went as far as first reading in the Senate in late 2018.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We can argue back and forth across the House. The government decided to prorogue Parliament. As for the Conservatives, they unfortunately delayed the passage of the bill. This is the third time we are debating this bill, and we all hope it will be the last.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. I very much believe in taking things one step at at time. There is nothing grandiose about this bill. It is important, essential, and will bring us up to date with the times. It is clear that a lot of other changes could be made when it comes to training judges.

Judges Act  Madam Speaker, we are here today to again debate the Judges Act and the Criminal Code. Bill C-3 amends the Judges Act to restrict eligibility for judicial appointment to persons who undertake to participate in continuing education on matters related to sexual assault law and social context.
