Gilles Gervais  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to say a few words about Gilles Gervais and to wish him a happy retirement. Mr. Gervais has worked on the Hill for more than 30 years. He started out in the 1980s as a constable, then he was a sergeant in the galleries, and more recently an Assistant Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms.

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, the dairy and cheese industries are losing $450 million a year. In 2014, my motion to compensate producers following the signing of the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement was adopted unanimously by the House of Commons. Five years later nothing has been done.

Supporting Small Breweries, Wineries and Distilleries Act  moved to introduce Bill C-464, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (small brewery, winery or distillery tax credit). Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague and friend, the member for Jonquière. This important bill seeks to introduce a tax credit that would help businesses increase their productivity, hire employees, and generate more revenue.

Petitions  Madam Speaker, the residents of Rang du Fleuve in Saint-Barthélemy wish to draw the attention of the House to a few points. Infrastructure in the area is crumbling as a result of the 2017 and 2019 floods, and emergency services and public safety officials have not had a single opportunity to visit and meet with the residents of Rang du Fleuve in Saint-Barthélemy.
