Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. However, for the people watching, I would like to point out that decades ago, 50% of the tax dollars collected by Ottawa were transferred for health care. There was never any question as to whether the provinces were able to

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, as I said earlier, this is just a rehash of the budget, but it took a pandemic for the government to say that high-speed Internet is an essential service. Now, when we talk about public safety, the government points out that there is broadband, but if there is no

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I am not a tax expert or an economist, but what I do know is that we need to listen to scientists, to those who are recommending measures to offset this inflation. We saw it with the key rate, which continues to rise, even th

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I will begin my remarks with a short aside about Sainte‑Adèle, a municipality in my riding. On Friday, a terrible fire destroyed the Hôtel Mont Gabriel, which is a Laurentides—Labelle institution. The hotel has been perched on the summit of Mont Gabriel since 1936.

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, it is a beautiful Monday morning, particularly since we are talking about a bill that will likely make things easier for people who, unfortunately, did not give their consent or whose personal information was compromised. I will repeat my question, which I unfortu

Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague. I sat with her on the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics for a few months. We had concerns about privacy. Several recommendations were made, and that is why Bill C‑11 became Bill C‑27. I acknowledge that the bil

Department of Public Works and Government Services Act  Madam Speaker, I liked what my colleague had to say. To begin, I want to say that I worked in the forestry sector and forestry industry for a decade. It is 2022 and, even back in the early 2000s, I was telling insurers in Laurentides—Labelle about the positives of carbon capture

Telecommunications Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise this evening to speak at second reading of Bill C‑288, and I will take this opportunity to make references to what I experience in Laurentides—Labelle.

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I enjoyed my colleague's speech. Strengthening environmental protection is a good thing. We are not against virtue.

Documentary on Industrial Disease  Mr. Speaker, today I want to talk about the miners in Saint‑Rémi‑d'Amherst and their families. Bruno Carrière's documentary film 1948, L'affaire silicose — L'histoire d'une injustice shines a light on the tragedy of the first industrial disease in Quebec in the 1930s and 1940s.

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I heard a lot of things that helped me prepare my question. The opposition party is very constructive and raises issues that come up over time. We realize we need to deal with Bill S‑5, but there are also other things the government must act on quickly. While the pr

Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I was very touched by my colleague opposite's speech because I have children myself, and we are wondering what will happen in the coming decades.
