National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act Madam Speaker, this is a very interesting subject. We have to avoid the intellectual shortcuts that people sometimes take in the House.

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. I touched on this subject briefly in my speech. People with foreign interests or economic interests coming to invest here do not always have our social investments at heart. She mentioned seniors' homes. I fully agree that we

National Security Review of Investments Modernization Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Winnipeg North for that good question. I like these concise questions that are on topic and are neither provocative nor arrogant. To answer my colleague's question, there are indeed several sectors. I am thinking about the biopharmaceutic

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague from Lac‑Saint‑Jean on his excellent speech. It is hard to disagree with what he said.

René Doyon Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about a quality that the House occasionally lacks, genius. Astrophysicist René Doyon has just been named Radio-Canada's scientist of the year for his role in the design of the James Webb Space Telescope. Launched into space in 2021, this telescope, t

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to listen to my colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable. I very much appreciated some of what he had to say.

Canada Early Learning and Child Care Act Madam Speaker, I listened closely to my colleague from York Centre's speech. I am glad the federal government recognizes the importance of the child care system. We all know Quebec pioneered it over 25 years ago—not 5, 10, 15 or 20 years ago, but 25. It is a good thing the feder

Post-Secondary Education Mr. Speaker, this is not about money, it is about criteria. The research chair funding criteria no longer have anything to do with research.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Mr. Speaker, I listened closely to the speech by my colleague from Saint‑Boniface—Saint-Vital.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his speech, which I listened to carefully. He mentioned certain government expenditures, of course.

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent's speech, and we disagree on some things. First, I think he is generalizing when he says that only young people benefited from the CERB. That is not true. I want to see his data. I do not agree with him. Second, m
