COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, I will ask a different question. What is a conflict of interest? I will continue speaking so he has enough time to answer with three or four sentences. What is a conflict of interest?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, once again, let us look at the facts. The Liberals are in government. Every administrator has been through this. People back home are asking me why it is that when they sit on a board, they have to disclose any personal information that could lead to a potential conf

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Madam Chair, I did not get an answer, but I have another question. Are cabinet and the entire government complicit in what happened with a failure to disclose information that may soon be found to have violated the Conflict of Interest Act?

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, we are in the midst of a health crisis, a global pandemic that needs to be addressed, and a potential second wave is looming on the horizon. We are all facing a global economic crisis and a public finance crisis. The last thing we need is a leadership crisis in this

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, this is the height of the summer. Quebec is on its construction holiday. The House is having a rare summer sitting because the COVID-19 crisis requires us to adopt measures quickly. However, we are faced with yet another Liberal scandal involving the Prime Minister

Léone Forget  Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk about a volunteer in my riding who has given of herself her whole life, working behind the scenes, a woman of dignity. Of course, I am talking about Léone Forget, who played an active role in providing much-needed services to Saint-Sauveur's mos

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his question. I think the government and all parliamentarians should address urgent and important issues. Every document that is in the public interest should automatically be disclosed so that everyone can see what we are doing. As I said e

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. Earlier I was talking about what a day like today costs taxpayers, when people are hungry, looking for shelter, having a hard time paying their monthly bills and their rent, and so forth. The first thing I said when I arri

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will discuss our position on the motion and share some of my own thoughts on this request. As the Bloc Québécois critic for access to information and ethics, emphasis on ethics, I think it is important to explain what I think this motion is really about. First

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I did speak about contradictions. I think it is very important to remain vigilant when naming specific aspects rather than talking in more general terms. We must not use extreme wording. Instead, we need to think about true,

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. We do support Bill C-6. We cannot oppose the idea of respecting aboriginal rights, but, as I said earlier, we have to avoid listing individual elements. We need a comprehensive approach to these rights. We do support Bill C

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I am not sure I understood the question. I would like to tell my colleague what people tell us when we talk about Bill C-6. Regardless of where they are from, be it British Columbia or Quebec, people tell us that recognizing aboriginal rights is essential, but we

Citizenship Act  Mr. Speaker, we come together today to discuss Bill C-6, an act to amend the Citizenship Act. This bill implements the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's call to action number 94, proposing a change to the citizenship oath as it is drafted in the schedule to section 24 the Ci

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am in complete agreement with my hon. colleague. The billions of dollars transferred to the consolidated revenue fund are gone. The slightly more than $1 billion we are talking about is so small, and, in any case, it comes from workers and employers. The figures a

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will address the two points raised by my colleague. I am wondering about something. If I am a fisher and am eligible to receive EI for seasonal work, but I happen to get sick, is it better to claim as a fisher or as someone with a serious illness? When a seasona
