The Environment Madam Speaker, the second wave is upon us, our restaurants are closed, and now we have the Liberals playing Don Quixote. Alliance Polymères Québec says the Liberals are sweeping the problem under the rug by not focusing on managing end-of-life plastics, which can potentially be

COVID-19 Emergency Response Mr. Speaker, we know that the Liberals' border management is a big disaster, but that is how the virus is getting into the country. American millionaires in private jets are being allowed to enter the country's three hot spots. Why the double standard? Why do Canadians have to

Ethics Mr. Speaker, we can see that the pandemic is an excuse for everything. The Liberals want to use it to hide their scandals and corruption. They have been found out. What are they doing? They want to trigger an election. There have been quite a few scandals and close friends who c

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, that was an excellent speech by my colleague from Alberta. Essentially, he told us that our most important job here in the House is to be here for Canadians and implement effective measures to fight the pandemic. That is exactly what we are talking about today. Bas

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I am reaching out to my colleague. If he wants to improve the motion that was moved today, what is he waiting for? Why does he not move an amendment? We are open and, of course, we are proud. Bellechasse businesses are helping in the fight against the pandemic, co

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent question. We have to learn from past mistakes to avoid repeating them. We know that we are in the midst of a second wave. The virus is still with us, and we must look to the future to see how we can avoid repercussions on our

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, it is certainly important to have the best transparency we can expect. Unfortunately, we are faced with a wall, which I would call a wall of darkness, from the government. We need to know if the right decisions have been made, especially in ensuring that the health

Patrice Vincent and Nathan Cirillo Mr. Speaker, six years ago, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was killed in a parking lot in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu simply because he was wearing his Canadian military uniform.

Infrastructure Mr. Speaker, five years ago the Liberals promised to repaint the Quebec Bridge. Since then, rust has been eating away at our heritage gem. If the Liberals had kept their promise, the paint would have dried a long time ago. However, they decided to appoint a negotiator to buy tim

Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. We are right in the middle of a pandemic, which is why we Conservatives will vote for measures that support families, seniors and businesses. Members may recall that we did so in 2008 during the economic crisis. We agreed to op
