Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Scarborough—Guildwood for his speech. He spoke about inflation and purchasing power. Purchasing power is indeed shrinking, especially under the current circumstances. I wonder what my colleague and his party think about increasing old age

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I think my colleague's microphone might be positioned incorrectly. Perhaps she could adjust it slightly. We can hear a lot of noise, and although the interpreters are not complaining about it, it is probably making their job more difficult.

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, on a point of order. I would just like to step out of my area of expertise for a moment and give my hon. colleague some technical advice. The microphone boom is flexible. If my colleague tries to unfold it slightly, it will automatically move the microphone the co

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I will not ask my colleague from Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie too difficult a question. He mentioned taxing the digital giants. A “Netflix tax” that will not apply to Netflix is incredibly ironic. Actually, if it were not so sad, it would be laughable. I would love to

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday, the National Assembly of Quebec unanimously adopted a motion on Quebec culture in the digital age. The motion states that Bill C-10 does not go far enough against the web giants to protect Quebec culture. That is true, and that is why the Bloc Québécois

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the motion passed by the Quebec National Assembly regarding Bill C-10 also demands the repatriation to Quebec of all powers in the area of culture and communications. That is nothing new coming from Quebec, or even from provincial Liberals. In 1973, Robert Bourassa

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have big shoes to fill in following my colleague from Shefford, who is always eloquent and on point. It is my turn to congratulate her on her speech. It is unbelievable. I am somewhat appalled to see our Liberal colleagues speak so passionately in this debate on

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, first of all, I would like to tell the parliamentary secretary that if the government really wants to continue to govern responsibly, rigorously and with common sense, as it says, it will have no difficulty at all in adopting our motion, since it goes in precisely

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent question. This government has been given a minority mandate. Rather than taking responsibility for its decisions, some of which are better than others, it tries to blame its poor decision-making on the so-called obstruction o

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I think that, in a way, the government's gag order answers that question. The Bloc Québécois is proposing that the leaders of the four main parties represented in the House get together to discuss and negotiate so that they can come to a consensus. We think that t

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague for his speech. I had to chuckle when he spoke about the two billion trees that his government promised to plant by 2030. Two years have gone by and, as far as I know, the government has yet to plant a single one of those trees. First

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, yesterday I had a conversation with an extremely bright young girl, my 10-year-old daughter Lily Rose. She asked me why some countries are poor and others are rich. She told me she thought that we here in Quebec and Canada are very lucky to have machines that print

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and for evoking some childhood memories of mine by talking about Steve Austin from The Six Million Dollar Man. To my generation Steve Austin is the Six Million Dollar Man, but to another generation Steve Austin is the real name o

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, the cultural community and the media have been waiting for decades for Ottawa to reform the CRTC and compel web giants to co-operate. Quebec culture has waited long enough. Bill C-10 must be passed before the end of the session, here and in the Senate. The leader of

Canadian Heritage  Mr. Speaker, those fine intentions are music to our ears. However, it seems that the Liberals do not understand the important role they have to play in advancing this work. They are the ones who decide which bills to prioritize on the calendar. They are also the ones who delayed
