Justice  Mr. Speaker, after changing his story every day for nearly three weeks now, the Prime Minister spent the weekend telling people they should listen to the Clerk of the Privy Council. The Clerk of the Privy Council said very clearly that, in his opinion, solicitor-client privilege

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the key words are “relevant matter”. This is not the first time the Liberals have rewritten our laws to suit their friends, but this time they are truly pulling out all the stops. Not only did the Liberals change the Criminal Code to help SNC-Lavalin executives, bu

Justice  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister admitted yesterday that the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner and the justice committee must get on with their work in the matter of interference by his office in the SNC-Lavalin case. How does he think they can get to the truth if he w

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, Canadians want a Prime Minister who tries to improve their quality of life, not one who makes backroom deals with multinationals. It is now clear that when Bay Street asks for help, the Liberals jump up and act quickly, but when Canadians need help, they make them w

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, shoreline erosion is not a new phenomenon, but the situation is getting worse. Some of my constituents are now concerned that their houses might literally fall into the St. Lawrence. Municipalities like Saint-Ignace have long been calling on the federal government

Agriculture and Agri-food  Mr. Speaker, our dairy farmers believed the Liberal government's lofty promises and nice words, but they have been betrayed. Once again, trade agreements have been signed at the expense of our farmers. The Liberals have put our food sovereignty at risk. They have once again prov

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, access to high-speed Internet in the regions is vital, especially for families, SMEs, self-employed workers and farm operations. Nonetheless, 240,000 households in Quebec do not have an affordable and reliable Internet connection. There is a desperate need, but the L

Marine Transportation  Mr. Speaker, last week, ice jams in the St. Lawrence Seaway forced a shutdown of the ferry between Saint-Ignace and Sorel for three days. Just like the Conservatives, the Liberals have completely neglected the icebreaker file. Steve Piché, the chair of the Berthier-D'Autray cha

Telecommunications  Mr. Speaker, access to high-speed Internet is a priority issue for the people of Berthier—Maskinongé, especially for residents living on the Point-du-Jour Nord concession in Lavaltrie. Like the 2 million Canadians who do not have affordable, reliable Internet access, residents l

The Member for Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel  Mr. Speaker, every Liberal seems to have a different version of what is going on with the member for Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel. The member claims that the Prime Minister assigned him a secret mission. The Prime Minister has clarified nothing. In September, the Liberal whip assu

Agriculture and Agri-food  Mr. Speaker, at the UPA conference yesterday, farmers were very clear about the frustrations they are feeling. Farmers believed the fine words they heard from the Liberal government. It was going to solve the diafiltered milk problem, not give in on class 7, not allow any breache

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government needs to stand up and fight for workers. Yesterday, Dairy Farmers of Canada called on the Prime Minister not to sign the USMCA until the U.S. oversight of our dairy system has been removed. This is about our food sovereignty. This clause w

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, the news out of Oshawa is devastating. GM has shown contempt for workers. What is worse is that the Liberal government should have known that GM would soon be closing its doors. Rather than supporting Canadian families, the Liberals threw billions of dollars at rich

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his comments on pay equity. This situation is inconceivable in 2018, especially since our Prime Minister professes to be such a champion of women and equality. As my colleague aptly pointed out, this was a Liberal campaign promise. T

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 2  Mr. Speaker, I could have talked more than 10 minutes, because there are a lot of issues I would have liked to have brought forward on the floor of the House. I mentioned the importance to act on ensuring we equalized and had better transfer payments to first nations schools. We
