Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act Mr. Speaker, although it is already January 29, I do not think it is too late to extend my best wishes to everyone. I hope we can engage in constructive politics. That is exactly what we are going to try to do this morning. Listening to the speeches, I feel as though this is bei

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, concerning grocery store prices, I would like to ask my colleague for his interpretation of the theatrical performance put on by the Minister of Industry. The minister called in the CEOs of major corporations to give evidence and asked them to change their prices.

Prohibition of the Export of Horses by Air for Slaughter Act Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to speak to Bill C‑355, which seeks to prohibit the export by air of live horses for the purpose of being slaughtered. That is a very specific bill. I listened to my colleague who spoke before me, and I think he made some interestin

Canada Labour Code Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and his last answer in which he talked about the crickets we often get from the Conservatives. I find that very interesting and relevant. I would like him to comment on the 18‑month delay being placed on the bill's coming into f

Canada Labour Code Madam Speaker, to begin, I would like to take this opportunity to wish a happy holiday and a good vacation to everyone in the House, but mostly to the people of Berthier—Maskinongé, who have worked so hard over the past year. I hope they get time with their loved ones. I wish the

Agriculture and Agri-Food Mr. Speaker, 2023 has been an extremely difficult year for farmers: rising interest rates, rising input prices, floods, droughts. It is one thing after another. Meanwhile, the federal government is abandoning them. Ottawa's investments in agriculture do not even amount to 5% of

Agriculture and Agri-Food Mr. Speaker, 2023 was a terrible year for our farmers. Fortunately, there is an easy way to make sure that 2024 is better. The federal government can push back the January 18 loan forgiveness repayment deadline for the emergency account. That is an easy way to prevent farms from

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, that is a very interesting question. As I was saying earlier, we have to have another look at how we support farmers and have a serious review of the insurance programs. These programs were designed 20 or 25 years ago in a context where we had a bad year every six

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my NDP colleague. Indeed, we do very good work together on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food. As I mentioned earlier in my speech, what we are experiencing right now is quite ironic. People come to committee and tell us tha

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, as I do every time I am given this great opportunity, I want to say that Quebec is less familiar with the carbon tax because that is not how we do things. We participate in the carbon exchange with California. However, according to the numbers I have seen, the car

Committees of the House Madam Speaker, I will begin by saying that I am very pleased that my colleague from Beauce answered the call I sent out to him during my speech. I appreciate it.

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, as I usually do, I want to bring the debate back to the subject we were asked to address, namely a report from the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague realizes that the dog and pony show put on by his colleague, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, counted for absolutely nothing.

Committees of the House Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. Unfortunately, she has just failed to answer the question.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023 Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his brilliant speech and for his continued, meaningful defence of Quebec's interests.
