Housing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question. Indeed, too many Canadians are struggling with the cost of housing, and that is unacceptable. That is why we have good news: The federal government is showing bold leadership by quickly increasing housing supply, helping Canadia

Gatineau Olympiques  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Gatineau Olympiques in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for reaching the semi-finals in the Gilles Courteau Trophy playoffs. That is bad news for MPs from the Quebec City area, as the Remparts de Québec are bound to lose. I want

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, it is high time that we were able to properly catalogue all our sites. In each of our constituencies, there are buildings that are abandoned, that are dilapidated because no work is being done and that have been improperly assessed. This bill will allow us to asses

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, this bill will enable us to not only identify and classify the infrastructure, but also assess its condition. How can we protect this infrastructure from climate change? The simple act of entering the historic canals in the register will make it possible to work o

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her very relevant question about climate change. Our government has done more than any other government in Canadian history to deal with climate change, and we will continue to do so. Indeed, the Rideau Canal unfortunately was not accessib

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by mentioning that I will be sharing my time with the member for Skeena—Bulkley Valley. I, for one, will focus on the topic at hand. I do not need to say that previous speeches have covered just about everything except Bill C‑23, which I am g

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, first and foremost, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech, or at least the part about Bill C-23. After a long preamble about our government's sound management of housing and the labour shortage, he eventually got around to speaking to Bill C‑23. He foc

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, first and foremost, I would like to thank my colleague and congratulate him on his excellent French. Well done. In his speech, my colleague also mentioned that he would like to relieve the minister of the responsibility and assessment of heritage sites. We know th

Historic Places of Canada Act  Madam Speaker, my colleague emphasized the lack of heritage infrastructure. My question is very simple: Does my colleague agree that these monuments should be included in the bill and be assessed so that we can restore and maintain our infrastructure?

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada knows that access to high-speed Internet is essential for all Canadians, no matter where they live.

Jeanne Carrière  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the courage and resilience of one of my constituents and the exceptional work of the specialists working to find medical solutions to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Following a nerve and tendon transfer procedure carried o

Petitions  Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise in the House today to table a petition initiated by the organization Development and Peace of the Outaouais region. The petitioners call upon the House of Commons to adopt human rights and environmental due diligence legislation. I would lik

Canadian Ski Marathon  Mr. Speaker, the 57th Canadian Ski Marathon, North America's longest and oldest cross-country ski tour, wrapped up yesterday. This year's edition marked a comeback to the traditional westward route. The 160-kilometre trail began in the Mont-Tremblant region and ended in Bucking

Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation Community Organizations  Mr. Speaker, I am surely not the only one who has been hearing the music and songs of the holiday season playing in the shops, and who is seeing their calendars fill up with dinners and gatherings with family, friends and constituents. The holiday season is also the time of year

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, my colleague across the aisle asks an excellent question. She listed bills that are part of the reform of the judicial system, but she forgot Bill C-23, which was introduced last year and is a precursor of Bill S-4, the bill we are studying today. It is fair to sa
