Support of Oil and Gas Sector  Madam Speaker, first off, is this 2021? I only ask because, after reading Motion No. 61 moved by my colleague from Edmonton Manning, I wonder if I travelled back in time. This motion echos the language of another century. It illustrates the deep divide between a green, progressi

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I agree with what my colleague just said. I too look forward to seeing how the Liberals vote. I also look forward to seeing how the New Democrats vote. What we have here is democracy denied, not once, but twice. The Liberals shut down debate with the NDP's help an

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs for explaining everything in the bill. However, he concluded by talking about hyper-partisanship. I want to point out that the House did not resume debate until March 8. Parliament was prorogued for a month, and tw

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa for his speech. Bill C-30 increases the envelope for the Canadian Securities Transition Office, which was one of the Harper government's pet projects. The member spoke at length about SMEs in his speech. In Quebec,

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her speech. She began her speech by talking about seniors and said she was taking into account comments she had heard from those around her about seniors. Let us look at what is being said in Quebec. People think it is unacceptable to

Fisheries Act  Madam Speaker, I wish everyone a happy Monday. I think that we all agree that water is life. Although we commend the member for his attempt to initiate a debate on water quality and the pollution of our rivers, which is an important subject, the Bloc Québécois cannot support the

Fisheries Act  Madam Speaker, everyone knows that water is important, that water is life. However, the bill does not prohibit the dumping of pesticides, petroleum products, chemicals or insecticides. How can my colleague tell me that, in order to improve the health of our waterways, we should

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his speech. He concluded his speech by talking about investments for seniors. I really felt as though he was reaching out to me, ready for my question. Does his government think that only seniors who are 75 and over experience

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague just asked Madame Arbour to make recommendations on the recommendations made by Madame Deschamps. My colleague also said that her government is taking this seriously. Is this really what she considers taking things seriously? An analyst and journalist c

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I will make a comparison. The budget includes a $17.6-billion investment for the transition to a green economy, but there was also a $17.1-billion investment in a pipeline, with more to come. This means that the amount allocat

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands, with whom I have worked many times. Bill C-12 was very weak. It was not what we expected, given the climate crisis we are currently experiencing. The Minister of Environment and Climate Change is open to amendments. The B

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. In my opinion, the government has a plan, but it lacks long-term vision. It presented 45 or 48 recommendations shortly before Christmas. However, there was nothing binding. We are at the point where we need binding measures if

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Mr. Speaker, a federal bill that paves the way for real government accountability in the fight against climate change is very urgently needed. I would be shocked if there were still elected members in this 43rd Parliament who would deny that the climate crisis will affect the en

National Framework for Diabetes Act  Madam Speaker, some diseases quietly besiege their victims and can eventually compromise their health and threaten their very survival. Diabetes is one such disease. More and more people are aware of diabetes because a growing number of Canadians and Quebeckers are being diagnos

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, this time, I will salute my colleague from the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. We share some of the criticisms of the government, particularly when it comes to the late delivery of vaccines after three months of hesitation and the gr
