Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her very interesting question. I am glad she asked me a question about the legislative agenda because it gives me the opportunity to address a few things. The discussions surrounding Bill C-19 started on October 5, 2020. On October 22, the

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie for his question. Those comments were taken out of context and distorted a little. What happened was that we voted against bills because they were not good for Quebec. Every time, the Liberal government held up the

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, from time to time, it is good to remember what we are debating. The motion moved states the following: (a) the House remind the government that a general election was held in October 2019 [not even two years ago] and sadly note that more than 1.3 million Canadians

Agriculture and Agri-Food  Mr. Speaker, every year, hundreds of farms are closing down in Quebec. It is obvious that there is an urgent need to encourage the next generation of farmers. However, the federal government is making it more profitable for a farmer to sell their business to outside shareholders

Canada Elections Act  Madam Speaker, on top of all the partisan speeches, the government members are showing disrespect towards the opposition members by repeatedly asking whether they have read the bill. It would be nice if they stopped doing that. Members have a duty to do their jobs well, and they

Canada Elections Act  Madam Speaker, ironically enough, the people I am talking about right now are not listening. My colleague raised some very interesting points in his speech. He spoke about voter identification and the lengthy writ period for seniors' homes. We are all very concerned about safet

Canada Elections Act  Madam Speaker, I would like to reassure our colleagues opposite. The Bloc Québécois carefully examined the bill and we are starting to become very familiar with parliamentary procedure, so there is no need to worry. We have experience. However, that is not the issue here. What we

Budget Implementation Act, 2021, No. 1  Madam Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague has to say about health transfers. The government is announcing a one-time transfer rather than the annual steady increase the entire country is asking for. This is what all the provinces, not just Quebec, are calling for. I

Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I did hear some rather positive points as I was listening to his speech. For example, he said that the same standards would have to apply to products imported as are being applied in the case of production taking place in Canad

Proceedings on a Bill Entitled An Act to Provide for the Resumption and Continuation of Operations at the Port of Montreal  Mr. Speaker, I will try to refocus the debate. I am sick of hearing that the Minister of Labour is the daughter of a steelworker. I have heard that four times today. My father was a worker, too. To me, this sounds like someone who wants to appear important and smart or appear as

House debate  Madam Speaker, I would like to ask the parliamentary secretary whether the government has considered the solution the leader of the Bloc Québécois proposed today. My colleague, the hon. member for Pierre-Boucher—Les Patriotes—Verchères, asked a question earlier. He was told in n

Proceedings on a Bill entitled An Act to Provide for the Resumption and Continuation of Operations at the Port of Montreal  Madam Speaker, the situation has grown tragic, as it often does. I have been an MP for scarcely a year and a half, not even two. We continually find ourselves faced with a government that fails to take action, waits for the situation to become explosive and then drives us into a

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from London—Fanshawe for her speech. It was a feminist speech, and that is really in keeping with my values. I have a very specific question for the member. I am disappointed that the Bloc Québécois and the NDP often find themselves on opposit

The Budget  Madam Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for her speech. This is lavish spending at a time when we are accumulating hundreds of billions of dollars in deficit. Does my colleague not think that there are things missing from the budget, such as the health transfers, mone

Earth Day  Madam Speaker, today being Earth Day, I would like to salute those who care for the earth, who sow, who reap and who earn their living off the land. Farmers play a crucial role in occupying and protecting our territory and in ensuring the ecological future of our regions. Our la
