Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I believe I did answer the question, but I will repeat some of what I said for my hon. colleague. The listing of entities is an ongoing process. Government officials continue to assess all groups and monitor new developments regarding potential entities that could

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, our government knows that Canadian farmers are part of the climate change solution. That is why our pollution pricing policy reflects the realities of Canada's agricultural industry. Both gasoline and diesel fuels for on-farm use will be exempted from pricing polluti

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. Canadians voted for climate action. We have a credible and affordable plan with over 50 measures to cut pollution, support clean growth and make life more affordable for Canadians. We put a price on carbon pollution because it is a cost-effective way

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my hon. colleague for her question. We are working in a constructive manner with all of Canada's provinces and territories. Environmental issues have a federal and a provincial component, and it is important that we work together on these issue

Vaudreuil—Soulanges  Mr. Speaker, this being the first time I have the floor in the 43rd Parliament, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Vaudreuil—Soulanges for placing their trust in me once again. I would also like to thank all the volunteers who give their time to help our commu

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, I will reiterate. We worked with provinces, territories and indigenous communities and businesses for two years to develop an approach to carbon pricing that worked for the different regions in our vast country. We have worked to ensure that it would be fair, effecti

The Environment  Madam Speaker, first I would like to clarify one thing for my hon. colleague. It was the Conservative prime minister, Stephen Harper, who came into power and cut subsidies for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles. I remember that because I bought one of those vehicles and was no

Vaudreuil—Soulanges  Mr. Speaker, not quite four years ago, the people of Vaudreuil—Soulanges chose to trust me to speak on their behalf here in Ottawa, where decisions are made. We have made a lot of progress, and we have done so by working together. That is why I wanted to thank all my community le

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives want to make us think that they want to protect our borders and change the safe third country agreement, but their record definitely proves otherwise. The Conservatives cut $1.2 billion from the budgets of our security agencies and, what is more,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, I apologize on behalf of all the children and young people who show up at our border without a passport. Here are the facts. Our government managed to reduce by 45% the number of asylum seekers coming across our border irregularly. Unlike the Conservative government

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, every day is another opportunity for the Conservatives to scare Canadians. Let me share three very important facts. First, since last year, the number of irregular crossings at our border by asylum seekers has dropped by 45%. Second, a majority of the people coming

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, perhaps the member misunderstood. There has been a 45% reduction since 2018. That is a fact. I know that the Conservatives do not like to talk about facts that contradict their arguments, but it is true. I will repeat that your Conservative government cut $1.2 billio

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, their Conservative government cut $1.2 billion from the budgets of the RCMP and the Canada Border Services Agency. We are the ones giving them the resources they need to do a good job and protect Canadians.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, first, here is what is not compassionate: cutting health care for children who come into this country seeking our protection, which is exactly what the Conservatives did. Once again, this gives me an opportunity to repeat some very important facts. There has been a

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Madam Speaker, I just want to reiterate, getting back to the point about asylum seekers, as Jean-Nicolas Beuze, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' representative in Canada clearly stated, the measure is “in line with international law”, because asylum seekers are
