An Act Respecting Further COVID-19 Measures  Madam Speaker, it is a wrench, a pain, a struggle. I have very little desire to answer questions from anyone calling themselves a member of the NDP. Out of respect for the institution, however, I will answer the question. First, the Bloc Québécois is in favour of a higher minimu

An Act Respecting Further COVID-19 Measures  Madam Speaker, I ask for the consent of the House to share my time with the hon. member for La Prairie.

However, those major differences cannot be ignored. Our conviction that the Canadian emergency response benefit

An Act Respecting Further COVID-19 Measures  Madam Speaker, it is the Liberals' lobby; we know what they are like. I believe it is the member for Saint-Maurice—Champlain who caused the problem.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, I express my concern with all due respect, given the very good relationship we have with the Chair.

Interim Supply  Mr. Speaker, apparently I need to say that I am speaking to the same point of order as my esteemed colleagues. I will therefore say that I am speaking to the same point of order as my esteemed colleagues. We are a pretty unruly bunch, and yet we get impeccable services. Everyone

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, something tells me that someone strayed far from the question, but no matter. This has been on people's minds for a number of days, and many people have a lot to say. Did the government say yes to artists when they requested that the CERB be adjusted to help them s

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, someone is beginning to answer a question. Let's celebrate. Can the minister tell me whether these measures will include a variation on the Canada emergency response benefit for artists and artisans in the arts community?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, it will be the same question. Did the government say yes to the agricultural community's request to adapt the Canada emergency benefit to facilitate the transition to employment for CERB recipients?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, the Leader of the Government does not even want me to ask him a question. What is happening then? Nothing?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, has the government said no to the request made repeatedly by Quebec, since 2017, to transfer some $1.5 billion for social housing, for which not a penny has yet been sent?

Business of Supply  Madam Chair, I wish to inform you that I will be sharing my time with my esteemed colleague and friend, the hon. member for Montarville. Beyond that, I am a bit unclear about the rules, but I will trust your good judgment. I do not know how allocation of speaking time works, but

Business of Supply  That would be me, Madam Chair. However, I am deeply convinced that there is nothing here that cannot be easily resolved with a simple and sincere apology. Then we can move on to another debate, and that will be on the votes. Things may get heated again. In fact, I am convinced th
