Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, today we are debating an omnibus bill. That, of course, is Bill C-47, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 28, 2023. This bill, which is sponsored by the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and the member for Uni

Sercan Palliative Care Home  Madam Speaker, today I want to mark the recent opening of the new addition to the Sercan palliative care centre in Saint‑Eustache in my riding. Since the expansion was completed, 12 beautiful, large, peaceful and warm private rooms have been accessible free of charge to people ne

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the NDP for tabling this motion. There is something about it that seems a little unusual, a little strange or ambivalent coming from the NDP. A few weeks ago, the NDP openly praised David Johnston's appointment. Its position led me to believe that the NDP

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I will ask my Conservative colleague a simple question. If the Conservatives were to form government, would they scrap Bill C-21 on firearms?

An Act for the Substantive Equality of Canada's Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, I think that everyone in the House agrees that French is in decline in Quebec and across Canada. That is the impression I get. Perhaps the Liberals still have their doubts, but that is the way it goes. How does my colleague explain the fact that the Liberal governme

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I was really pleased to hear our colleague indicate that he supports three of the four points dealing with foreign interference, particularly the idea of expelling diplomats involved in interference. Kudos to him. After the crazy week we have had, considering all

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague thinks of the NDP proposal to tie the level of federal funding to immigration caps within each province.

Petit Théâtre du Nord  Madam Speaker, I rise today to mark the 25th anniversary of Petit Théâtre du Nord, a veritable institution of the performing arts in the Lower Laurentians. Founded in a garage in Mirabel in 1998, Petit Théâtre du Nord moved first to the Blainville community centre, and then to i

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Yukon for his speech. It is really nice to hear him speak French. I would like to know whether he shares a concern that I have. Two or three years ago, the Prime Minister said that he would invest 2% of the budget in military spending.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, we know the Conservatives' position in terms of the budget, the cuts they would make if they were in power, major budgetary restrictions and balancing the budget. This evening, 150,000 federal public servants will quite likely go on strike. I would like to ask my

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his presentation and his excellent French. It is always a pleasure to hear anglophones speak French in the House. I congratulate him. My question is twofold. First, according to the budget, investments are still being made in the oil sands

Battle of Vimy Ridge  Mr. Speaker, last week, we commemorated the 106th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, which was waged in 1917 during the First World War. No less than seven different Quebec-based regiments were active in Vimy, in northern France. Among them, was the legendary 22nd Battalion

Support Centre in Rivière-des-Mille-Îles  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the anniversary of an organization that has been serving Rivière-des-Mille-Îles for 50 years. I am talking about the Centre d'entraide Racine-Lavoie. The centre supports the autonomy and development of low-income individuals and families by

Telecommunications Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague knows that TikTok has been banned from all government devices. My question is simple. Does my colleague believe that Beijing is using this platform to engage in political interference?

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, like all members of the House, I believe, experts are concerned about Chinese equipment in our critical infrastructure, especially telecommunications infrastructure. Should the Liberal government not be very concerned about the presence of Liberal MPs in its own r
