Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, the agricultural economy has reached the point of no return. The raid blockades are having a disastrous impact on the market, so disastrous that farmers are telling me they may run out of food for their animals this week. Meanwhile, the Minister of Agriculture and Ag

Community Support Organization  Mr. Speaker, one of the most precious gifts in life is to have a child. Unfortunately, some families face the daily challenge of raising a child with a limitation. I would like to recognize the contribution of an organization in my riding that provides support and respite to man

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, the numerous rail blockades have already had serious repercussions on our agriculture sector. Grain from the west is not moving. Farmers in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces are having to ration propane. Mills in my riding, including Agri-Marché, are facing shortages

Telecommunications  Madam Speaker, many households and businesses in my riding live with an Internet connection or cellular service that is spotty or non-existent. I am one of those people. In some countries, people struggle to feed themselves, but their Internet and cell service is decent. Here, t

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite for his question and, above all, for his kind words in my regard. I am a new MP. In my previous professional life, in my public and political life, I was always someone who looked ahead. There is no reason why people cannot change the

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her kind words. Beauce is a rural riding that is close to the border. We share a border with the state of Maine. We must pay particular attention to rural crime, but the concern I raised earlier has to do with consultation of people on the

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I think that the tweet posted at the time had significant implications. Figures have been released on the number of illegal border crossings, especially at Roxham Road. We are talking about some 40,000 people. I do not think

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Madam Speaker, as this is my first speech, I would like to say hello to the people in my riding of Beauce. I thank them for the opportunity to bring their issues to Ottawa. I have always been proud of the fact that I am from Beauce and I accept with humility the unique opportunit

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her excellent speech. Some witnesses said that, despite four years of work on this issue, there has been no consultation with the Canada Border Services Agency and Royal Canadian Mounted Police unions.

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take advantage of the presence of Canadian dairy farmers on the Hill this week to remind the government that it promised to conduct impact studies on the concessions made in previous free trade agreements.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I appreciated my colleague's speech. He spoke a lot about innovation and technology, which was very interesting.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I enjoyed his history lesson on security. My question is about another aspect of security, namely food safety. Opening up our markets is great, but what assurances do we have that other countries will apply the same standard

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague opposite for his speech. Many businesses in my riding are feeling the effects of the new agreement. The agricultural sector is one of those hardest hit. Supply-managed producers, including dairy farmers, will see their market shrink by 3.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, in 2015, the Liberals were elected on a promise to run small deficits in order to invest in infrastructure. It is now 2020. The deficits are enormous, and promises to invest $188 billion in infrastructure have not been kept. I am not the one saying so. The Parliam
