Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, the hundreds of job losses at TVA will inevitably impact news in the regions. There will be fewer journalists, fewer editors, fewer studios, less airtime, and smaller teams with fewer resources. Add to that the fact that print and local media are in crisis, and we

Canadian Heritage  Madam Speaker, a full-blown atomic bomb has dropped on the world of Quebec television. TVA, the most-watched television network in Quebec, will be laying off 547 people, a third of its workforce. We are losing extraordinary artisans of our culture. It is catastrophic. It is cata

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I will accept your generous offer and request a recorded division.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my answer to my Liberal colleague's question was somewhat along the same lines. We have problems to solve here before we open the floodgates. We have young people starting out in life who have brilliant careers ahead of them, but who cannot afford to buy their fir

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, it is true that this is a sensitive subject. I think it is irresponsible to immediately stop the debate by hurling epithets. Today, my parliamentary assistant and I simply tried to bring it down to a level that is a little more accessible to the public. For exampl

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's question. He raises a good point. There was a time when our cities were not overcrowded and we did not have major housing problems. The current crisis is extremely worrisome. There was a time when taking care of people was not nearly as

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be happy to share my time with my friend the member for Berthier—Maskinongé. I will read the motion again to refocus the debate, but also the intention behind this Bloc Québécois opposition day. The motion reads as follows: That the House call on the gov

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, earlier, during the question and comment period following the speech by my colleague from Montarville, the member for Pontiac said that Quebec is a society with a good integration capacity, and she gave the example of a family that she and her family welcomed and w

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for the clarity of his remarks. Earlier, in a response he gave to our colleague from Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup he did not have time to finish, but I thought his response was interesting. This would help our Conservati

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate and thank my colleague from Etobicoke Centre for his speech and his commitment. We have the pleasure of serving together on the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group. I know how deeply committed he is to Ukraine in general and als

Indian Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Nunavut for her speech. She too, like our colleague from Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, is very credible. She is very concerned and knowledgeable about the issue, to say the least. Earlier, I was talking about consensus-building, which is not the f

Indian Act  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague and riding neighbour from Saint‑Hyacinthe—Bagot for his eloquent speech. As he himself is a member of the Huron-Wendat Nation, I think he knows what he is talking about. He is well read and very passionate about the issue. I also

Diversity and Inclusion  Mr. Speaker, let us talk about Amira Elghawaby, the Prime Minister's special representative on combatting Islamophobia. Many people noticed her long silence on the war between Israel and Hamas. Then, when she did finally break her silence after 10 days, everyone noticed that she

Diversity and Inclusion  Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Muslim and Jewish government MPs met despite their differences to jointly reiterate the importance of all citizens feeling safe in Canada, regardless of their religion. That makes a difference and it should be commended. Ms. Elghawaby, however, is incapab
