Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to point out that the Bloc Québécois did indeed introduce a bill to try to save Quebec's political weight, and yet those who are now claiming to be the defenders of French in Canada and the defenders of Quebec voted against that bill.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, Canada is a concept, one that has changed greatly over time. At first, Canada was the heart of New France. The conquest brutally changed its identity and turned it into a British colony. Modern Canada arose from another change that took place with the betrayal of

Privilege  Madam Speaker, as the hon. member for Repentigny rightly pointed out, we have been discussing the issue of foreign interference, particularly Chinese interference, for several weeks now. We know that the government has blundered on several fronts when it comes to dealing with int

Privilege  Madam Speaker, I have a question for my colleague. Why does he think the Prime Minister is refusing to call an independent public inquiry?

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague the following question. These assumptions will sound somewhat farfetched, but let us say that the Liberal government is sincere about its objective of providing affordable housing as part of a real housing strategy. That is the first

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, my colleague mentioned the importance of municipalities several times. I know that she worked at the municipal level. The government says that municipalities are very important, that they are close to the people and that we need to encourage them to build social h

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I would like to present petition e‑4296 regarding the repatriation of the Saint-Maurice firing range. The petition, which I have been sponsoring for nearly two months, has already gathered 1,500 signatures in just a few weeks. The petitioners are calling on the fede

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, Bill C-37 was passed unanimously. Can we know why this bill, which has exactly the same objective, is being debated again in the House of Commons?

The Budget  Madam Speaker, unfortunately, I do not think that my colleague listened to my speech, or else he simply did not understand it. Throughout my speech, I gave examples of tax credits that are supposed to fight climate change and help the environment but that will not actually work.

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent question. I certainly am very concerned. I even began my speech by saying how troubling it is to see that the budget does not address the real problems. In the end, all this government did was make some nice promises. We are

The Budget  Madam Speaker, my colleague completely understood the point of my speech and I thank her. That is precisely it. Now, instead of paying fossil fuel subsidies directly, the Liberals are going to do it in a roundabout way by giving tax credits. It will be very hard for the average

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I would like to inform you that I will be sharing my time with my hon. colleague and political mentor, the member for Repentigny. We are here to talk about budget 2023. As an economist, I have to say that it is rare to have so many questions after looking at the n

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I agree that these monuments should be included. In fact, I think it is worth mentioning that I am glad that the wording is changing and that they are no longer being referred to as national monuments or national historic sites, since there are many nations within

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. I do share his enthusiasm. I also wanted to mention that I think that improving first nations, Métis and Inuit representation on the board is in fact intended to remedy those significant oversights.

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her question, but also for making the effort to ask it in French. I am certain this is not the first example of a potential lack of coordination within the federal government or a division of responsibility that is not necessarily equ
