Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question. Is it possible for us to spend $6 billion to create spots for children? People currently have to wait two years to get a child care spot. I encourage Quebeckers to create more child care spots.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Madam Speaker, I am very happy to be back in the House of Commons debating legislation. I will be sharing my time today with my friend, the member for Calgary Midnapore. When I heard the minister talk about Bill C-35, it was like it was the panacea of child care. One can imagine

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, I am a happier member this year. Madam Speaker, my question for the member opposite is actually about ideas to add to what has been put in place here. Organizations like CUPE are saying that there are three times more spaces needed than have been c

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act  Mr. Speaker, when I served on the Standing Committee on the Status of Women, we looked at the situation in Quebec. I was told that there were problems with new families being unable to find a space for their children. Are there any recommendations for improving the situation in

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, I absolutely agree with the idea that organizations must have a code of conduct. However, I think with this amendment, the problem was with students and other individuals who do not follow the same rules. I moved a subamendment, but it was defeated. I think there i

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, what is clear is that we want to keep the Internet free and we do not want the government choosing what needs to be done there. To do that, the best thing to do is get rid of Bill C-18 and allow the tech giants to fund something that small media outlets could thems

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, unfortunately, no, I do not believe the bill would do what its purpose intends. Let us be clear: Facebook, Meta and Google have publicly said they are willing to donate funds that could be split up among smaller local news media. That would involve no government b

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise to speak to Bill C-18, in part because there has been so much misinformation and disinformation being spread by the government, including the minister and the NDP, about the bill. First, let us talk about the situation that brought us the

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, later today, I certainly will have the opportunity to, in great detail, let the members of this House and all Canadians understand why the Conservatives voted against the measures in this bill. One of the more controversial discussions was about the fact that we w

Immigration and Refugee Protection Act  Mr. Speaker, I know the member opposite wanted a few things for Christmas. She wanted pharmacare; 10 sick days, which has not happened; and dental care for everybody who does not have it, which has not really happened either. However, she is forced to support a government that is

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for her speech. I would like to ask her a question. There is not much in this bill about health and health care funding. Could the member comment on that?

École polytechnique de Montréal  Madam Speaker, today I rise to honour and remember the victims of the tragic massacre at École Polytechnique 33 years ago. As the first female engineer here in the House of Commons, I will tell members that these women were my sisters. On December 6, 1989, an armed man entered

Questions on the Order Paper  With regard to the impact of rising interest rates on the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC): what are the CMHC's projections on the number, total value, and percentage of CMHC insured mortgage loans that will be in a default situation based on (i) current interest ra

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his speech and for all of his work for our beautiful parklands. Bill C-23 has many things I agree with, but I am concerned about one part of it and that is—
