Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Yes, Madam Speaker. By CHSLD we mean the long-term care centres for seniors. The Liberal government plans to impose national standards on senior care homes when that is a provincial jurisdiction—

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, to make life simpler for Quebeckers, the Government of Quebec has announced that it is extending by a month the deadline for filing tax returns. Last year, the federal government did the same thing, but this year it is hesitating. Quebeckers will have a reprieve fro

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech. No doubt there are a lot of fine things in this budget. Everyone has had good things to say, including the Bloc Québécois and the other parties. The Bloc has made suggestions about the aerospace sector, the electrifi

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his passionate speech. Listening to him, I almost thought we were in the middle of an election period. Canada is not doing that poorly, and I think almost all of us agree on that. Nevertheless, it could have done much better. This i

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank our colleague, who once again made some very eloquent remarks. I agree with he said at the end of his speech. Indeed, all we can do is encourage people to get vaccinated. I got mine about ten days ago. However, I would like to remind my colleague that his

Marcel Charest  Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a former vice-principal of Polyvalente Deux-Montagnes because I want to highlight the retirement of a pillar of this school, Marcel Charest. Marcel has been a full-time volunteer for two decades and has also held the honourable position of president

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, the tax filing deadline has passed, and victims of CERB fraud are worried. They should not have to pay taxes on money that they did not apply for and did not receive. That seems obvious to me. However, the Canada Revenue Agency is telling people to pay now and that

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, I guess that was an answer. This time, the minister needs to give the victims a straight answer. She could have extended the tax deadline to allow for an investigation. That is obvious, but she refused to do it. She could have been clear and told people to wait be

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, last year, Revenu Québec collected more money from tax havens thanks to information in the Panama papers than the Canada Revenue Agency collected in all of Canada. I have a suggestion for the minister. Rather than harassing victims of CERB fraud, as she is doing now

Café Parenthèse  Mr. Speaker, during this National Mental Health Week it is important to remember that the vulnerable are being hit hard by the pandemic. We were therefore very pleased to welcome a new project in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, the Parenthèse café. The project seeks to provide an open,

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her very emotional speech. Earlier I was wondering: If this is what a self-styled feminist Prime Minister does, what would be happening if he were not a feminist? There is one aspect of these allegations of sexual misconduct that I think

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. I have had some difficulty following today's debate at times. I am hearing statements about toxic masculinity that I absolutely disagree with coming from one side of the House, and I am utterly baffled by the level of patience an

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, fraud victims should not have to pay the price for being defrauded, but that is exactly what the Minister of National Revenue is doing to victims of fraud involving the Canada emergency response benefit, or CERB. The minister is making them pay taxes on money they di

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, it is unbelievable. Why is the Minister of National Revenue unable to simply tell victims of fraud to hang onto their money until the investigation is complete? Why is it so hard for her to tell them not to pay taxes on income they did not receive and to wait for the

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, first of all, it is very difficult to get someone on the line. Furthermore, this fraud is causing a second major problem that the Liberals do not seem to have seen coming. People will lose government assistance because fraud increases their annual income in the eyes
