Online News Act  Madam Speaker, when a journalist loses their job in a region like Côte-Nord, it is not just serious, it is tragic. The news that comes from community media or other small regional media outlets, which are often newsrooms run on a shoestring budget, is vital. It is these news med

Online News Act  Madam Speaker, it was very brave of you to ask my colleague from Winnipeg North to ask a very brief question, but he managed it, and I congratulate him. My answer will be brief. I do not know. We will never know, because of the time allocation motion adopted earlier. I would hav

Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Madam Speaker, I too would like to sincerely congratulate my colleague from Repentigny on the quality of her speech, as well as her ability to remain focused.

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I was glad I could provide at least some sort of an audience.
