Firearms Mr. Speaker, I hope to get an answer to my question. Once again, the government has shown that it does not have its priorities straight with its amendments to Bill C‑21. Hunters and farmers in my riding are extremely concerned about their ability to put food on the table and, mo

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Drummond for his questions. I will start with the last question. As far as health transfers are concerned, it is undeniable that the Conservative Party has always been in favour of respecting provincial jurisdictions. That is the most imp

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Madam Speaker, that is definitely an important component. However, when I look at all the inflationary policies this government has brought in, particularly in the latest budget statement, I think that even if it manages to recover larger amounts of money, the consequences of all

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. I think that there are far too many problems with Bill C-32 for us to support it. With regard to all the money the government plans to spend, I think the government is just serving up leftovers, because these amounts wer

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure for me to rise in the House today to speak to Bill C‑32, which seeks to implement the government's fall economic statement. To be clear, let me just say that my pleasure stems not from the content of the bill, but rather from the fact that I get t

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Laurentides—Labelle for her presentation. I just have one question. She talked a lot about her riding. I assume that, like me, she saw very little in the way of improvements to telecommunications and the cellular network. In my opinion,

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2022 Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate my hon. colleague on his excellent speech. He talked a lot about rural areas across Canada.

Food Banks Mr. Speaker, this year, families can finally get together to celebrate over a nice Christmas dinner. However, during this time of celebration, we must not forget that some people, for all sorts of reasons, cannot afford a nice meal, period. This is the time of year to give gener

Carbon Pricing Madam Speaker, people certainly will need help putting food on the table, because food bank use continues to climb. However, the Liberals do not seem to care too much about that. The food banks in Beauce can barely keep up with the growing demand. Of the 12,500 requests for food

Telecommunications Act Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I have a question about publicly owned corporations like Hydro-Québec.

Carbon Pricing Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have no compassion for workers struggling to make ends meet. They are going to make things even harder for small and medium-sized businesses in January when they raise taxes. Worse still, Liberal policies are hurting businesses in Beauce that hire foreig
