Telecommunications  Madam Speaker, we know there is a problem on Route 138, but this same problem exists all over Canada. During the pandemic, we realized just how important it is to have Internet and cell coverage all across the country. We have already made an exceptional commitment to get Quebec

Telecommunications  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. We know that Internet and cellular connectivity is very important for our safety in Quebec, in rural areas and on Route 138. The accident was most unfortunate. I am pleased that the victim was not seriously injured. As we sp

Guy Lafleur  Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a great man who recently left us, our national hero, Guy Lafleur. Guy Lafleur was born in Thurso, in my riding of Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation. The blond demon was always eager to get involved in the community. On the ice, his style was

Brylee and Guayclair Farms  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to acknowledge the outstanding work of two cattle producers in my riding: Brylee farm in Lochaber and Guayclair farm in Brownsburg‑Chatham.

Starred Questions  Mr. Speaker, the universal broadband fund, or UBF, is the single largest federal investment in broadband in Canada’s history.

Emergencies Act  Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Montarville said that our government should have taken action sooner. He also said that the main reason why he was voting against the use of the act was that there was not enough consultation with the provinces, which is completely untrue. All of a

Emergencies Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague opposite for the opportunity to answer his question. It is mind-boggling to me to see the Bloc so desperate for something to say that it is making up needs. Not once have we spoken about needing to go into Quebec if it was not useful. The Blo

Emergencies Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for mentioning that this network has ties to some extremist groups that are dangerous to our society, to the supply chain, to our families, to the common good, to security and so forth. The act is appropriate and will be in force for the next

Emergencies Act  Madam Speaker, in an effort to keep this brief, I will summarize the question. The act is clear. Institutions will be responsible for investigating anyone who made illegal contributions and will have to provide this information to law enforcement, which will also have to conduct

Emergencies Act  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to rise at this late hour, and I want to take a moment to thank all the House of Commons staff, the interpreters, and you, Madam Speaker, for your indulgence and dedication as the House sits long hours until midnight. Thank you to everyone. We h

Emergencies Act  I apologize, Madam Speaker. To my colleague who spoke before me, I would like to say that the police service was indeed severely affected. We are invoking the Emergencies Act to enhance the ability of provincial and territorial authorities to deal with the blockades and the occu

Old Age Security Act  Madam Speaker, it is rather ironic to hear the Conservatives lecture us today about not going fast enough, when they were the ones who raised the age of eligibility from 65 to 67. I would like to hear the Minister of Seniors talk about the importance of collaboration among all p

Regional Economic Development  Mr. Speaker, I have heard the Conservatives say that they are listening to rural communities across Canada, even in the riding of my colleague across the way. I am rather pleased to hear that the member is protecting or trying to define the need for high-speed Internet. Our gove
