Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague, who is always passionate and eloquent. My colleague is right. The fact that the government does not want to improve the old age pension is causing a lot of frustration. Everyone agrees on that. We owe seniors so much more than this. We have

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I just want to remind our colleague that, even though the budget was positive, we voted against it. However, we will be supporting this Bill C‑30. We voted against the budget for two reasons. First, the health funding it contains is not enough. We want recurrent f

Canada Elections Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague. She always has a positive attitude and a smile on her face. I would like her thoughts on this. At present, the Canada Elections Act prohibits the transmission of surveys or any form of advertising on polling day. Given that this bill proposes a

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, the federal government needs to send a clear message to victims of CERB fraud. In the House, the minister said that victims will not be held responsible for the fraud. We all agree on that. However, when victims call her department, they are being told to pay taxes

Canada Revenue Agency  Mr. Speaker, it is really difficult to get answers to simple questions. The minister also needs to take action to prevent victims of CERB fraud from being deprived of assistance from her government because the fraudulent amounts are being added to the victims' actual income. Gov

Books of Remembrance  Mr. Speaker, we are here today to pay tribute to nine members of the Canadian Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice last year in the line of duty.

Official Languages  Madam Speaker, while Quebec is introducing a bill to protect French, French language services in Ottawa continue to decline. That is the case for our veterans. In 2018, the veterans ombudsman showed that it took 19 weeks to process a claim in English and 52 weeks to process the

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for her speech. I am pleased that she mentioned how much attention the budget pays to seniors, namely none. In my opinion, the Liberal government's reaction shows a blatant lack of respect. I would like the member to share her opinion on the fo

Centennial of the Town of Deux-Montagnes  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to mark the centennial of Deux-Montagnes, a town in my riding. Formerly known as Saint-Eustache-sur-le-Lac, Deux-Montagnes was founded in August 1921. The town gets its name from the two mountains that the coureurs des bois, the voyageurs and the

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I believe I heard my colleague say that there have been no investments in the oil sector, or none that he was aware of. I would like to remind him that $27.3 billion will be invested in that sector in 2021, which represents an increase of nearly $3 billion over las

National Framework for Diabetes Act  Mr. Speaker, we are here this evening to discuss Bill C-237, otherwise known as an act to establish a national framework for diabetes.

Offshore Health and Safety Act  Mr. Speaker, members will recall that, in June 2020, the Prime Minister of Canada exempted all exploratory drilling in the marine environment off the coast of Newfoundland from the existing environmental assessment process. My question is very simple. What does my colleague think

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague takes issue with certain parties scoring political points at the expense of the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. I would like to remind him that reports published by the national media clearly show how naive the Liberal government is. Acc

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, with respect to the Winnipeg lab and this request for the unredacted version, I would like my colleague to comment on the fine line between national security and our need and right to get more information.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, today, it seems obvious that all parties in the House will agree on the fact that this is a genocide that could, at the very least, be characterized as cultural. Unfortunately, it takes tragedies such as this to raise people's awareness and provoke their thoughts. Le
