Red Dress Day  Madam Chair, I thank the member for Nunavut for her speech. Nunavut is a lot like Nunavik in my riding. This evening we are having a take-note debate on Red Dress Day out of respect for indigenous women and girls. They still live in fear. There are still indigenous women and gir

Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1  Mr. Speaker, as my colleague stated, we keep repeating the same thing, but, there is no mention of regional flights in Bill C‑47.

The Versadrill was developed in Abitibi and operates 1,300 metres below the surface at Agnico Eagle's Goldex mine in Val-d'Or. The drill is manufactured in our community, at MBI Global, a comp

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, despite the size and intent of Bill C‑47, there is nothing in it for seniors or housing. There is no long-term solution to fix the underfunding of health care and no sign of EI reform. I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on that.

Committees of the House  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot for his very positive and important speech. We know that the needs are great in the aerospace industry. Very often, airlines do not manage to serve the markets all the time. I want to underscore the importance of supp

National Volunteer Week  Mr. Speaker, what is more noble than giving freely? What is more noble than a person with means being kind enough to use that strength to lift up their entire community? That is what more than two million Quebeckers do every day when they volunteer. On behalf of the Bloc Québéco

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman for his speech. My colleague from Lac-Saint-Jean said earlier that this bill is long overdue. We know full well that this has been going on for 18 months. What is the government waiting for? When will it help the me

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I wanted to say that I myself have been a single mother with three children. I have had to work two jobs.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, before I ask my question, I would like to extend my condolences to the people of Amqui and to the family of the police officers who were killed in Edmonton. You talked about the integrity of elections. We know that there was a foreign interference campaign. The P

Federal Framework on Housing for Individuals with Non-visible Disabilities  Madam Speaker, the Bloc Québécois supports Motion No. 59 regarding a federal framework on housing for individuals with non-visible disabilities.

Pandemic Day Act  Madam Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to debate Bill S-209, an act respecting pandemic observance day, although it would have been better if we had never gone through this dark period in our history and never needed to commemorate it. I want to begin by acknowledging Interna

Criminal Code  Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague. I do not agree with her principles at all. She said that it was an easy choice. Medical assistance in dying is not an easy choice. On the contrary, it is a question of dignity. For the past five years, the Bloc Québécois has been particip

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. However, we have questions about McKinsey.
