Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act  Mr. Speaker, once is not a habit, but failing to consider existing laws in Quebec has certainly become a habit for the federal government. The paternalistic attitude of the federal level remains unchanged. I would ask my colleague if he has truly taken into consideration Quebec'

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank  Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague on his speech. We agree that a humanitarian corridor must be urgently set up to save civilians. To be a player, one must work with other players. Unfortunately, Canada is not at the table where decisions are being made by certain players. I am

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank  Mr. Chair, I commend my colleague on his speech. We understand the NDP's position on the ceasefire and the humanitarian corridor.

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague on his speech. It is always a bit disconcerting to hear the Conservatives talking about the cost of living.

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Mr. Speaker, I commend the Deputy Prime Minister on her speech, which seemed to be full of good intentions.

Excise Tax Act  Mr. Speaker, I am very excited and very proud to rise today, for the first time since Parliament resumed, to represent and defend the interests of the people of my riding, whom I always represent with pride and dignity. I am talking about the good people of Rimouski-Neigette—Témi

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his speech. Earlier, he talked about red tape, particularly the additional administrative burden. Along with several of my colleagues from the Bloc Québécois, I recently met with representatives from port authorities. They told us that

Strengthening the Port System and Railway Safety in Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. What I think is important about Bill C‑33 is that it seeks to improve rail safety in Canada. I would like to talk about a rail disaster. On July 6, 2013, 47 people were the victims of a rail disaster in Lac-Mégantic.

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague on his speech. There are certainly things that we do not agree on, but I would like to focus on what we do agree on.

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, according to Transparency International, between $43 billion and $113 billion a year is laundered or is lost to tax evasion.

Canada Business Corporations Act  Madam Speaker, I would first like to say how disappointed I am with Bell Canada's decision to eliminate jobs back home, in my region, particularly in Rimouski. One of the people who lost his job was an experienced journalist, Martin Brassard. He has 35 years' experience and worke

100th Anniversary of ACFAS  Mr. Speaker, there is cause for celebration, as ACFAS is celebrating its 100th anniversary. ACFAS was established in 1923 by a generation of Quebec pioneers, including botanists Marie-Victorin and Jacques Rousseau and radiologist Léo Pariseau. In a powerful gesture of national

Immigration and Refugee Act  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague for her speech on the important bill we are debating, Bill S-8. Of course, I agree with her that we must try to raise the level of debate and move away from partisanship, particularly when it comes to important bills. Where I tend to disagr

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague, the member for Mirabel, on his excellent speech. He gave us a very clear picture of the situation.
