Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to be here this morning to discuss a very important subject. The law that limits young people's online access to sexually explicit material, more commonly known as pornography, is something we should be concerned about. When we look at certain a

Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act  Madam Speaker, Bill S‑210 would create an offence for organizations that make such content accessible.

Order of La Vérendrye  Mr. Speaker, every year since 1985, the City of Trois-Rivières has awarded the Ordre de La Vérendrye to residents who have made outstanding contributions to elevating the city's reputation.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, my colleague will be happy to hear that I completely agree with her on that. However, I do not believe that the proposed measures will achieve the desired outcome or stated intent. I agree with the purpose, but I do not believe that these measures are the best way to

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my brilliant colleague from Berthier—Maskinongé for his always relevant questions. I will keep his sister-in-law Carole in my thoughts. Being there for people is a good thing. It is the essence of an MP's job. Our constituents delegated responsibility to us

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his insults. I do not know what he read in La Presse recently. He and I must have read different things.

Prevention of Government-Imposed Vaccination Mandates Act  Mr. Speaker, I will do my best to be enlightening during the time allotted to me. As we know, thinking is not a crime that leads to death, unlike COVID-19. All of the bills introduced here, even the most ridiculous, can be debated. When I think of the word ridiculous, I cannot

Situation in Israel, Gaza and the West Bank  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her insightful speech. Her remarks were very refreshing. I would like to ask her whether she believes there is room to take a step back or for nuance in this debate.
