Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech and for her comments on today's debate. When I was young, we did a field trip every year to the Huron village, near Quebec City, where we were exposed to indigenous culture. It was a picturesque place, but it is not a reflection

Michel Auger  Mr. Speaker, Quebec lost a journalism giant over the weekend. Michel Auger died at the age of 76. On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I offer my sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of this legendary crime reporter. Mr. Auger spent four decades in journalism and won the

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, last night on the TV show Tout le monde en parle, the Minister of Canadian Heritage said that he was optimistic that web giants would be subject to GST in the next budget. It is not optimism he needs; it is a bit of initiative. The minister does not need to wait for

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, we are talking about two completely different things. During our conversations, we were clear about the importance of tax fairness, which means requiring web giants to charge GST. The Liberals have been promising that for five years. Three heritage ministers, all of

Judges Act  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his excellent speech. The Quebec bar has expressed some concerns about Bill C-3, particularly because the vast majority of criminal offences are handled in provincial courts. Training for judges is a good idea, but the Quebec bar has

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite and congratulate her on her speech. I too want to come back to the question of Huawei.

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I want to commend the heritage minister for this bill, the first bill he has introduced as a minister. Bill C-10 was eagerly awaited. Overhauling the Broadcasting Act after nearly 30 years is no small matter. As I have already mentioned several times in our discus

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise to speak to Bill C-10, the first of the long-awaited bills from our heritage minister. The Liberal government has been working on this bill for five years. We have gone through five years, three ministers, a media crisis, a cultural industry i

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I think the minister and I should go out for a drink together. We clearly need to set the record straight. I admire and commend his passion because I know that this file is extremely important to him. I am well aware of everything he had to navigate to get to Bil

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my esteemed colleague for that question. I relish the opportunity to elaborate. I do think there is a flaw and I do think there is a case for this being enshrined in legislation. Anyone following the news may have noticed that the riding of Saint-Laurent

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his question. I think there are a lot of surprises and new things that we will have to deal with with the arrival and invasion of digital technologies. As I mentioned in my speech, I think we need to proceed

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question, and I thank my colleague from Shefford for asking it. During our meetings with industry representatives in recent months, we heard over and over that this was the most urgent issue. The regional media and local news media were most c

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Winnipeg North for his question. Of course we are open to discussion. The minister himself seems very open to making sure this bill meets our expectations and can be implemented as quickly as possible. Will the Bloc Québécois vote in fav

Fall Economic Statement  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is hard to hear what my colleague from Joliette is saying because so many conversations are happening, despite our limited numbers here. Would you prefer to ask my colleague from Joliette to wait until the conversations are over, or sh

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I congratulate and thank my colleague opposite for his speech. I almost let myself be seduced by the sound of his voice. His voice is so soft when he talks about taking care of seniors. He also sounds so sweet when he says that his government is there for the prov
