Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his speech. I would like him to comment on something I was told today. We are often told that the Bloc always makes demands and that it looks for a fight when what it is calling for is fair health transfers for Quebec and the province

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Outremont for her speech. I have to admit, I had to pick up my jaw from the floor a few times. Not only is the government openly admitting to interfering in provincial jurisdictions, but it seems almost proud of it—almost to the point of di

James W. Price and Yvette Mathieu Lafond  Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to mark two birthdays today—two 100th birthdays, no less. The youngest of the two, James W. Price, will be blowing out 100 candles on December 30. Mr. Price was born in Cape Breton and arrived in Drummondville at the age of 8. For 45 years, he worked

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. The Conservatives want to postpone or eliminate the carbon tax and the alcohol escalator tax. Based on my calculations, that would cost the government $2 billion in revenue. The carbon tax is what worries me. This government h

Main Estimates, 2020-21  Madam Speaker, thank you for interrupting my colleague so I could ask him a question. I was glad to see that his Internet connection has been working well for the past few minutes, and I was eager to take advantage of that too. I would like to talk to him about this issue, becau

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I was very curious to hear what our Conservative colleagues would have to say about Bill C-10. I was actually wondering what was holding up the vote on this bill, when everyone on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage and the entire cultural and media sector

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his speech. I have to admit that it feels a little strange to see him on a screen, when it seems like he never leaves the House. Just now, I heard him speak about his constituents wanting the federal government to do more on health. I

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on his speech and let him know that I would be happy to see the photos of his granddaughter anytime.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague from Montarville, who is always very eloquent and a pleasure to hear.

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I will take advantage of the fact that there is a Liberal colleague from British Columbia to raise the issue of tourism.

Drummond Association of Parents of Children with Disabilities  Mr. Speaker, on January 22, the Association des parents d'enfants handicapés de Drummond celebrated its 40th anniversary.

Standing Orders and Procedure  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I found one thing he mentioned very interesting. He spoke about decorum and what constitutes appropriate attire in a hybrid Parliament or when sitting in the chamber. It is fairly easy to set a dress code for men by deciding wh

Standing Orders and Procedure  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech, in which he talked about the Senate. There is no need to poll my colleagues to find out what we think about that institution. My colleague mentioned that we should perhaps reassess the Senate's role. Does he not think

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech. I have the pleasure of sitting with him on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
