International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals told the House over and over that they would defend our supply management system. They have broken that promise. Once again, dairy, egg and poultry farmers are on the losing end. Let us do the math. The Liberals gave up 3% in CETA, 3.25% in the trans-Pa

Status of Women  Mr. Speaker, Bill S-3, an act to amend the Indian Act, still contains gender-based discrimination. The Superior Court of Quebec ordered Canada to address all exclusions based on gender, but Bill S-3 only removes certain obstacles. Gender inequality continues to exist today, in

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, when it comes to pipelines, it is the same old story from both the Liberals and the Conservatives. Quebeckers have lost faith in the Liberal Prime Minister's bungled consultations and discredited assessments. The Liberals can say what they will to defend themselves,

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, Trump unleashed a vigorous attack on our dairy producers. The Liberals are suggesting that they were flexible, which is no comfort to Ms. Chevalier, a farmer from Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola, who fears that our supply management system is again being undermined. She is no

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Joliette for his question. The House voted unanimously in favour of the motion to ensure that any agreements we sign do not open a breach in our supply management system. Unfortunately, unanimous motions do not force the government to take act

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. The Standing Committee on International Trade held consultations across Canada. From what I understand, public notices were issued and there was not much time to announce the consultations. It took some time, and not everyone w

Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership Implementation Act  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be back in the House, to see my colleagues again, and particularly to participate in the debate on Bill C-79. I would like to inform you that I will be sharing my time with the hon. member for Vancouver Kingsway. Yesterday, we began the debate about

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, after the Prime Minister said he was flexible, it is now the Minister of Agriculture who is leaving the door wide open to the possibility of sacrificing our supply management system in NAFTA renegotiations. The Liberals keep telling us in the House that they are def

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, giving away billions of dollars to a company that has zero respect for Canada's environmental regulations is the antithesis of leading the fight against climate change. Using public money to buy a pipeline is not visionary. Exposing Canadians to the environmental an

Berthier—Maskinongé  Mr. Speaker, on June 2, I had the opportunity to take part in the RCM of Maskinongé's citizen forum, which was organized by the CFDC at the Le Baluchon resort in Saint-Paulin. The forum and its historic En route vers la carboneutralité initiative, which focuses on achieving carb

Natural Resources  Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for that response. Canadians need to know that we all are united in our response. There is another issue of national importance. As we know, the Trans Mountain pipeline spilled 4,800 litres of oil just two days before the government announced it

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, New Democrats stand in solidarity with the government and the Prime Minister against the provocative statements made by the Trump administration. The current tariffs are illegal and the additional threats will hurt Canadian and American workers. While Canadians sta

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, in Canada, the Liberals love to claim to be defending supply management, but in the United States, the Prime Minister said there could be some flexibility in the area. A true leader is someone who stands up for Canadian dairy farmers, someone who keeps his promises,

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Madam Speaker, my colleague had the chance to remind everyone that he was elected 14 years ago and served his constituents for that period of time. We have to remember that there is a lot of inequality here in Canada, and it seems to be increasing. A promise the Liberals made d

Budget Implementation Act, 2018, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech to the House on Bill C-74. This is a gargantuan bill. I think this is the biggest omnibus bill ever seen in the House of Commons. It is about 556 pages long, but it makes virtually no mention of agriculture and agrifood.
