Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2020  Madam Speaker, in her speech, my colleague said that she had some suggestions to improve Bill C-11. This is also the case for the Bloc Québécois. On our side, we are very concerned about the issue of identity theft. There are ways to verify someone's identity. In Europe, mechani

Environmentally Conscious Labelling  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the intention behind the member for Sydney—Victoria's motion. Government measures, effective policies and the quality of the policies put forward are at the forefront of my mind as environment critic. However, I have to point out some of the flaws in t

Environmentally Conscious Labelling  Madam Speaker, as I read the member's motion, I wondered whether he knows that eco-labelling already exists. I felt that his motion did not take into account the role that Quebec and the provinces play in managing eco-labelling. What does he think about that?

Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague talked a lot about equality. I would like to talk about equality between the traditional media, which are considered important, and media like Facebook. During the election campaign, the two major parties spent tens of thousands of dollars on Facebook

Broadcasting Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague said some things that really made my ears perk up. She said that the bill aims to maintain an ecosystem and that we need to protect our culture. All that takes money. In the last Parliament, the Bloc Québécois repeatedly reminded members that the web g

Climate Change Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to rise in the House today next to my colleague from Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, who is introducing Bill C-215. Accountability is a welcome word. We approve of it when we see it at work in our everyday lives, in society. It is reassuring

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, 85% of Quebeckers feel that GMO labelling should be mandatory. Surprisingly, Canada is the first country in the world to have authorized the commercial production of a genetically modified animal. That animal is salmon. We were guinea pigs, consuming it unawares. We

Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999  Madam Speaker, I will start by saying that the Bloc Québécois will support Bill C-204, which was introduced by my colleague from York—Simcoe. We welcome this bill because it also gives us a chance to talk about some of the many other things the government should do about plastics

Instruction to the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to speak to the motion moved by the member for Lac-Saint-Louis. I would like to begin by saying that I share all of the concerns that he raised, because we know that fresh water is life. The human body is two-thirds water. I call that an essential

Instruction to the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. Looking after our fresh water is very important. It is the future of humanity. Does my colleague not recognize the considerable danger inherent in his motion in terms of interfering in Quebec and provincial jurisdictions?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the member for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin said earlier that he is not really concerned with history, but if he learned more about it, I am sure he would be sitting on our side. Jacques Parizeau used to say that history is not taught anymore because it turns people into sover

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. I sometimes wonder whether the government and its elected members are pretending not to understand what the issue is really about. We are talking about the War Measures Act. We are talking about people who were imprisoned. We

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I must say that I am a bit disappointed by my colleague's question. I thought it was only the government that did not understand that our motion is about the War Measures Act and nothing else. I would just like to remind my colleague that Ottawa has a crime-fighti

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Saanich—Gulf Islands. I would simply like to say that the law was replaced, thank God, and I hope that they will never use it against the civilian population again in any way. The law was replaced and that is for the better. That said, w

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for La Pointe-de-l'Île. For the Government of Canada, the 50th anniversary of the October crisis represents an opportunity, one that I suspect is going to be missed, to apologize for imposing war measures and for fabric
