The Budget  Madam Speaker, I would like to talk about the environment. A quick scan of the budget reveals that it could lead to increased pollution in Canada. I say that because the money being proposed could be used to support untested technologies. I am talking about hydrogen technology,

Ishtai Family  Mr. Speaker, 10 years of war in Syria have resulted in 400,000 dead, more than six million refugees, tens of thousands of detained or missing prisoners and 12 million people facing starvation. This humanitarian disaster has given rise to a groundswell of solidarity in Quebec. In

Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. The government has made many announcements, but each time it cannot provide us with any details regarding how this or that measure will work. What does my colleague think of the government's approach, which involves making

Income Tax Act  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Calgary Centre for his bill, C-262, which gives me another opportunity to talk about the environment and impress upon members that climate action is urgent. On March 8, Natural Resources Canada announced the creation of an Alberta–Cana

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask a question that relates more to democracy. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons said that the opposition was not being honest, among other things. I would like to quote something the House leader s

Opposition Motion—Plan for Reopening the Economy  Mr. Speaker, I was surprised to hear my colleague's remarks about procrastination day. This is the first I have heard of it. To procrastinate means to put something off until tomorrow. Rather than always opposing ideas and thus putting them off until tomorrow, why can the member

Climate Emergency Action Act  Madam Speaker, we have had three bills introduced in the same session on achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, which I think sends a powerful message about how we need to do what is necessary to reach that goal. The time has come to take decisive action to combat climate change.

Employment Insurance Act  Madam Speaker, the member concluded his speech by talking about the social safety net. I would like to pick up on that, since it is very important to the Bloc. Bill C-24 amends provisions dealing with EI. A Bloc Québécois motion received a majority of votes, but it is not being

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. At the beginning, he gave the impression that everything was perfect, but he just qualified his remarks. My question picks up on that. The government was quick to provide support for the oil industry, which had alrea

Environmental Restoration Incentive Act  Mr. Speaker, introducing a bill is always an important moment in the life of a legislator, and so is the time when that bill is debated. I therefore commend the member for Lakeland, and I want to explain to her why the Bloc Québécois will not be supporting her bill. In environme

Diabetes  Mr. Speaker, 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin. This was a major breakthrough for people with diabetes, but there is still a lot of work to do. In 2018, a group of young people came to Parliament Hill to speak to parliamentarians about type 1 diabetes,

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I listened to what my colleague was saying, but I think he has forgotten his history a bit. The guaranteed income supplement was not widely known. When the Bloc found out about it, it toured the province to register seniors. I know that because my father benefited fr

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his speech, which gives me an opportunity to set the record straight about a few things. I am not sure seniors will be too pleased to hear him say they are doing fine and everything is okay. I would like to point out that th

Expropriation Act  Madam Speaker, introducing legislation is an important step in the life of a member of Parliament. I want to recognize the member for her work, but I have to say that the Bloc Québécois will not be supporting Bill C-222 because we are in a climate crisis, because it threatens div

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I want to let my colleague from Prince Albert know that the Bloc Québécois agrees with the motion and will be voting to support it. However, we also want the committee to study the impacts of the fight against climate change on the energy sector and to include envi
