Broadcasting Act  Madam Speaker, I have a couple of questions for my hon. colleague. Bill C-10 is a direct response from artists, musicians, independent producers and technicians in the arts and culture sector in Canada. They are saying that we are losing our cultural sovereignty. What the member

Justice  Mr. Speaker, as a father of three girls and a legislator, I find the content of these platforms profoundly inhumane. This is why our government has been working for months with experts, non-governmental organizations and foreign governments to bring forward legislation to the Hou

Justice  Madam Speaker, online platforms are central to our everyday communications and allow us to connect with the world. However, we are extremely concerned that they are used to endanger the safety of individuals, including vulnerable persons and children. This is why our government i

Justice  Madam Speaker, we intend to introduce these regulations as early as the beginning of the session in 2021, and we have already started tackling online platforms. I tabled Bill C-10 just a few weeks ago. I hope Conservative Party members will vote in favour of the bill to start t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his question. I am very happy for the opportunity to talk about the environment, since the science clearly shows that pollution costs our health care system a lot of money. For that reason, since 2015, our

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her question. In my speech, I tried to show that costs were once shared 50-50, but that this only represented part of the costs for the provinces and territories. In time, following a series of agreements between the federal governmen

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to participate in this important discussion about the Canada health transfer, or CHT, and funding for health care. Our government is committed to improving the health care system so that it can meet the needs of Canadians today and in the

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. We are both concerned about climate change, which has been my pet cause for many years. I attended the first UN Conference of the Parties in 1995. All I am missing is a cane. I am a little confused. I will quickly read out a f

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech. I am in complete agreement with her. The transition should have started a long time ago. We did start it, but that was followed by 10 years of inaction under the Conservatives. She is right to say that this bill

Status of the French Language in Montreal  Madam Chair, the hon. member for Berthier—Maskinongé has said a number of times this evening that nothing people have been saying amounts to anything more than words and that nothing has been accomplished. I have a question for my hon. colleague from Lac-Saint-Louis. The federal

Status of the French Language in Montreal  Madam Chair, I thank my hon. colleague for his intervention. I have two questions about the criticisms of Bill C-10 on broadcasting. On the issue of percentages in the bill, the Association québécoise de la production médiatique said, “The AQPM believes that it would be hard to

Status of the French Language in Montreal  Mr. Speaker, I must admit that I greatly admire my colleague from Louis-Saint-Laurent. There are issues on which we disagree, but I do not think that the protection of French is one of them. I think that, like many others in this room, we both agree on this issue. I think that o

Status of the French Language in Montreal  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for the question. He seems to be having a hard time understanding that on this side of the House there are many proud Quebeckers to whom protecting the French language is a concern and who are working to protect it in Quebec, of course, but

Status of the French Language in Montreal  Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for her comments. We had the pleasure of chatting recently. New Brunswick is a wonderful province I have had the opportunity of visiting many times. I have written three books in French, and the book fairs there were even busier than in Mo
