Port of Montreal Operations Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief. I have a question for my hon. colleague. She took the words right out of my mouth because I too am appalled by everything we have seen and heard over the past few hours. Does she agree that the leader of the Bloc Québécois was once again the v

Port of Montreal Operations Act, 2021  Mr. Speaker, I salute my hon. colleague and point out that here in Laurentides—Labelle, in Quebec, it is currently 1:19 a.m. It is quite a task, given these unacceptable actions. I was touched by what my colleague had to say, but I am also very ashamed. I would like to hear how

Claude Chapdelaine  Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to honour Claude Chapdelaine, a trail mapper from Sainte-Adèle in the wonderful Pays-d'en-Haut RCM. Over the past 15 years, he has mapped some 20 cross-country ski trails and six road biking routes. He began his career in Sainte-Adèle in the Pay

Infrastructure  Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. The interpreters do a wonderful job, but unfortunately, they were unable to properly interpret what the minister was saying because she was not wearing her headset with microphone. Would it be possible to remedy that situation, pleas

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, we have so many concerns. I do not know whether my colleague listened to the speech given by my esteemed colleague from Repentigny. It is actually hard for me to explain to the people of Laurentides—Labelle how this translates into accountability. The first thing th

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's speech. Honestly, for the sake of future generations, I have a hard time swallowing what the government on the other side of the House and the former government have to say. I was around in 2009. This issue was top of mind for me when th

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I really appreciated my colleague's detailed speech. We will remember these failures for the rest of our lives. I would like to hear his thoughts on the bill that unfortunately never came to be, as well as on the need to act very quickly, without the usual partisa

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, as I listened intently to the minister, I heard the word “effectively”. However, with all due respect to him, I do have one question. Bill C-12 is indeed a step forward. Technically, no one in the House, not even our Conservative colleagues, can deny the realities

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, what fine words from my colleague. I heard him say the words “dependence” and “independence”. I would like him to explain to me what we came to understand during this health crisis, when we had to collaborate with the government and try to adjust certain programs.

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I would like my colleague to comment on what we have been hearing for the past 10 minutes or so, that the budget does not reflect what the community needs, that there are inequalities, that there is greater support for decisions to protect the major players and tha

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, earlier I heard the question from my colleague who wanted to know why seniors aged 65 to 74 are not entitled to the $500 cheque or the proposed increase of $63.50 a month, as opposed to $110 a month as the Bloc wants. I heard that it was not a question of age but o

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am also wondering about that. It is my conscience talking. When we are dealing with an issue as significant as this one, we need to ask ourselves the following question: What is the ultimate intention in making today's debate so specific? The terms of the motion

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague. I would like to take this opportunity to explain how a committee works. First there is a work plan and decisions to make on the urgency to act and there are also proceedings leading up to the vote. I think it is a bit of a shame when we re

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I salute my colleague across the way. We serve together on the ethics committee, which we have heard a lot about in the last few minutes. My colleague, with several hours of speaking time at committee, did a good job of explaining the situation. Let us look at what

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, we have been hearing the same question for several hours now. I will approach the issue from a different angle. I was just elected in 2019, so I have to learn on the job, but I also have to look at what happened in the past, when I was not in the House of Commons. H
