Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague and his party for their support of the Conservative motion seeking to give Canadians the straight goods on the pandemic and the need to procure vaccines as soon as possible. First, I would like to know whether it was a good idea for the

Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, there is absolutely nothing for workers in the shipbuilding industry in the Liberals' economic statement, even though there is a need. The Royal Canadian Navy needs a modern icebreaker to ensure Canada's sovereignty in the Arctic Archipelago. It is time for the Libe

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I have a question for my colleague, but I would like to start by reminding him that the vaccines slated for distribution in the U.K. next week are being made in Belgium. I think the people tuning in are wondering when Canada will take action and when the Liberal g

Davie Shipyard  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals like to strut around the Davie shipyard in Lévis and make fine promises. Once the photos have been taken, they slip away without doing anything for the shipyard's workers and suppliers. However, the Canadian Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Navy have

Maurice Tanguay  Madam Speaker, today Lévis is mourning the loss of one of its most illustrious citizens, Maurice Tanguay. Originally from Saint-Philémon, in Bellechasse, Mr. Tanguay's passion for hockey grew during his time at Collège de Lévis. It was in Lévis in 1961 that he opened the first s

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, “Canada is back” under the Liberals. Yes, Canada is back with deficits, a debt of over $1 trillion and the highest rate of unemployment. We just saw it. The Liberals are bragging about what they have done, but they are lagging behind because they dragged their feet

The Economy  Madam Speaker, on this fine Friday, I have one little question for the Liberals: Who will pay the federal debt? All the Liberals have done since coming to power is drive Canadians deeper into debt and line the pockets of their Liberal pals. This is unprecedented. While the Liber
