Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Madam Speaker, does it make sense for the Sergeant-at-Arms and the institution to guarantee that people's health will be protected provided that they are double-vaccinated?

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. What we experienced, namely, people hiding behind their screens, could be perceived as avoidance by some people. We need to be consistent in the work we have to do. This means being available, answering questions and follow

Order Respecting the Business of the House and its Committees  Madam Speaker, I congratulate you on your appointment. We have been discussing this issue for several hours now and many arguments have been presented. Everything has been said and the debate is winding down.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I salute my colleague. I am encouraged to hear that she feels comfortable and connected to the French language, much like each and every Quebecker.

Business of Supply  That is a great question, Madam Speaker. I will take only 30 seconds to answer it. It is about doing more of what we have been doing for the past 30 years. Our leader talked about the fact that we hear more and more people speaking French on the street. People are proud of our F

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I have a very simple question. First, it bothers me that we are still debating certain details, when it is all very clear. We have spoken about these things for hours and have demonstrated the merits of the bill. To my mind, members are splitting hairs. Consultati

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis  Mr. Speaker, today, June 2, is Lou Gehrig Day, and I would like to share something about myself.
