Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, we can see during the debate that each party has its own position. When I talk with members, I see the difference of opinion. There are many in the Liberal ranks who agree that we need stringent requirements and an implementation team charged with making sure that th

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, when members talk, they should at least have a basic knowledge of the medical context, of what is happening on the ground. Unfortunately, it is pretty clear that we do not all have the same basic knowledge. I therefore cannot answer my colleague. Does he even know wh

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, as for that vote, I want my colleague to know that it came out to 57%. Also, the member should be careful when talking about provisions that exclude mental disorders. It is time to get educated. Tomorrow morning, I am going to talk about advance requests. Let us ima

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I am going to try to recover from that. It is a good thing I wrote down a few words, because I have a lot to say tonight. My goal is for those who do not want to listen to me to leave the chamber. They can listen to my speech again tomorrow morning when they are feel

Corrections and Conditional Release Act  Mr. Speaker, it is moving to hear and observe how far we have come. The Bloc Québécois is eager to proceed with third reading.

Jacques Duval  Mr. Speaker, Jacques Duval, founder of The Car Guide, former race car driver and gifted communicator, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 89. Throughout his long career, he staunchly defended the French language, something the auto sector badly needed. He is the reason why in t

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, from what I understand there are inconsistencies between the processes in the different provinces. Quebec has done its part. What I am hearing this evening is often what individuals may have experienced. We are talking about human suffering. I know what I am talki

Constitution Act, 1867  Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. The newest, most recent republic is Barbados. It became a republic on November 30, 2021, so it is not too late to abandon this system, just like it is not too late for Quebec to become independent. Quebec's independence would mean the creatio

Constitution Act, 1867  Madam Speaker, what is the point of the monarchy? Qu'ossa donne? I want to apologize to the interpreters. I doubt it is easy to translate those words from Yvon Deschamps, but, in all honesty, that pretty much sums up my thoughts. In 2024, Canada's head of state is a king. In 20

Interparliamentary Delegations  Madam Speaker, I seek the unanimous consent of the House to present the report of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order to seek the unanimous consent of the House to revert to presenting reports from interparliamentary delegations to allow me to table a report from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, we are talking about the Canada-Quebec agreement, which stipulates that Quebec must take in a share of asylum seekers that is at least equal to its percentage of Canada's population.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, Quebeckers are happy to do their part to welcome asylum seekers. The problem is that the federal government is not asking us to do our fair share. It is asking us to do twice as much. Quebec takes in 48% of Canada's asylum seekers. Ottawa is asking us to pay nearly

Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act  Madam Speaker, we are here today to discuss a crucial issue, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act.

Tremblant World Cup  Mr. Speaker, after Chamonix, Val Gardena and Courchevel, it is Mont Tremblant's turn this weekend to host the World Cup women's giant slalom race. What a source of pride for the entire Laurentides—Labelle region and for Quebec. The International Ski Federation chose Mont Trembla
