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

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 red

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

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

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

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I think that we all appreciate the step just taken by the Liberals. We can believe that this compromise will lead to a positive solution. That said, one thing has been bothering me since the start of our debate on this motion. Members will recall that our Chinese

Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, which was very interesting, especially the personal and professional aspects. It was nice to hear him talk about his past. We all agree that this bill is a weak response to the Yale report. However, this legislation was long over

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague and friend from Vaughan—Woodbridge. I am very happy to see that his French is getting better every month. Here is the full title of Bill C-11: an act to enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act and the Personal Information and Data Protection

Status of the French Language in Montreal  Madam Chair, first off, congratulations to our leader for what was, as always, a very inspiring speech. The government House leader and the Leader of the Opposition made some very interesting comments, but, as we always say, they need to walk the talk. I am astonished at the nu

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, it is clear that all of us, or almost all of us, agree that Bill C-12 has some interesting elements. However, I do have one concern. I think it is insane to put off the targets until 2050 or use 2050 as a deadline. Things are changing and moving so fast, and 2050

Awards Gala Sponsored by by Rivière-des-Mille-Îles MP  Mr. Speaker, my first namesake awards gala was held on November 19. It was a memorable evening that was carried live on Télévision des Basses-Laurentides and Facebook. This gala honoured outstanding residents of Rivière-des-Mille-Îles. I had the privilege of handing out the edu

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like my colleague to comment on something our Prime Minister said that will surely go down in history. He said, “I fully respect provincial jurisdictions, but people's dignity, their health and, above all, their lives are not a jurisdictional matter”.

Saint-Eustache  Mr. Speaker, 2020 marks the 175th anniversary of Saint-Eustache, a city I am proud to represent in the House. The first settlers arrived in 1739, and in 1768, the parish of Saint-Eustache was officially established. This city was the backdrop of major battles during the patriots

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, the Bloc Québécois is obviously in favour of modernizing the Broadcasting Act given the rapid and staggering evolution of information and communications technology. Does my colleague believe that Bill C-10 is designed to really reflect and make room for the perspe

Reduction of Recidivism Framework Act  Madam Speaker, I, too, would like to begin my speech by acknowledging the outstanding work done by all of our colleagues, regardless of their political affiliation. This was a difficult session and one that will not quickly be forgotten. I am pleased to rise today to speak to B
