Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his speech. When I hear the Liberals talk about their record before the pandemic is even over, and about the millions of dollars they have put directly into the pockets of Canadians and Quebeckers, I feel like they just do

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Courtenay—Alberni for his speech. I often find myself nodding along when my colleague talks about the situation with salmon in his region, as well as when he talks about small businesses. I broached the subject earlier with th

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I commend and thank the hon. member for Edmonton Strathcona for her touching speech, which was very sincere, like her. Oddly enough, my question relates to that of the member for Winnipeg North and follows up on the question of my colleague from Lac-Saint-Jean. H

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by offering my condolences to my colleague from Edmonton Centre on the loss of his son. I was very touched that he began his speech with that testimony. I read the motion and I understand it, but I see that, in it, the Conservatives are once

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, like my colleague from Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, I was also very touched. My goodness, I am still moved. I immediately did something about it and followed my colleague from Kingston and the Islands on Twitter. However, I should warn him that I will block him

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Mr. Speaker, does my colleague not think that the government's failure over the years to meet its responsibility to increase health transfers, as Quebec and the provinces have unanimously been calling for, and the fact that the health transfers have not been properly indexed cont

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague for his speech. Despite the third wave of the pandemic, we have come to the point where the government is starting to develop a post-pandemic plan, or so I hope, for when the pandemic is behind us, as my colleague said in his speech. I lis

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and congratulate him for his speech. I am hearing a lot of comments about sentencing. We know that harsher sentences do not result in fewer crimes being committed. Prisons are overcrowded, and people from racialized or indigenous communities are

The Budget  Madam Speaker, the main things missing from the budget are of course health transfers and support for seniors. In my view, another important omission is the print media. For over a year now, we have been calling on the government to support the print media industry, especially r

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I do not think the member has the equipment needed to speak because he does not have his headset on.

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague from Kildonan—St. Paul thinks about the things that were not in the budget and about the fact that the provincial governments and the Quebec government are once again being left with an underfunded health care system, because th

Culture and News Media  Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to hear that money was allocated in the budget to small festivals and local cultural celebrations. The problem is that there will soon be no one left to promote if the government continues to let our news media and regional media die a slow death. We h

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Saanich—Gulf Islands on her speech. I really liked hearing the Greens talk about the environment. It reflects more of their true nature, although they have not always been very critical of pipelines. However, that is another story

The Budget  Mr. Speaker, earlier, my colleague said in his speech that this budget contains something for everyone. Sorry, that may be true, but that is like me buying my son a geranium for his birthday when he asked for a bike. This budget may contain something for everyone, but it is not w

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, passion is a wonderful thing. I was moved by the speech that my colleague from Mississauga East—Cooksville gave. It reminded me of the fine speeches given by Jean-Marc Chaput, the well-known Quebec speaker who unfortunately passed away last year. In 2017, the Libe
