Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague. His questions are valid. I will start by answering his second question. With respect to mental illness, the Government of Quebec chose to study the issue more thoroughly before including it in the law. If two separate lawmaking bodies a

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my esteemed colleague for his question, which was also quite relevant. I mentioned earlier that the law must include safeguards. However, this is not a matter of euthanasia but of medical assistance in dying. I believe that those are two fundamentally diff

Criminal Code  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with my very esteemed colleague from Shefford. The debate we are having today must be handled with restraint, dignity and composure. Partisanship has no place here. This is a serious matter, and our decision will have significant repercus

Rail Crisis  Mr. Speaker, a business located in Berthierville, A. Richard Tools, is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. The pride of our region, this business manufactures high-quality, ergonomic tools. However, this company is currently experiencing serious difficulties because of

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I commend my colleague on his speech. I would like his opinion on the government's approach to the current crisis. Apparently, in the past few hours, the police have moved in and that has triggered secondary effects; in other words, there have been attempts to con

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank our tieless colleague for his speech. All joking aside, as pointed out in the speeches by my Bloc Québécois colleagues, our party agrees with the substance of the bill, that is, the need for greater recognition for indigenous nations. However, we have also

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. The Bloc Québécois recognizes the legitimacy of measures to provide more recognition for indigenous nations. I have a question for my colleague, given that he is opposed to the motion. If the wording of the government's bill

The Economy  Mr. Speaker, our farmers have had an extremely difficult year. First, they were left high and dry with free trade. They faced unpredictable weather. They lost crops during this fall's propane crisis. We are now on the verge of a new propane shortage, this time because the governm

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I appreciate the comments from my colleague across the way who once again spoke about hope and reconciliation. However, as others have said, it is time to put words into action. We are in the midst of a national crisis. My colleague says that she is pleased that

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by calling on the members of the House to respect the autonomy of the nations. The Wet'suwet'en nation is a nation just like those of Quebeckers and Canadians. It is not up to us, the MPs, to say who is right in the various groups that may for

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on her speech. I would suggest that the reason the Conservatives are in no hurry and want to study these files is that they read agreements all the way through before signing them. I would like to ask my Conservative Party colleague to

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I repeat that the Bloc Québécois is in favour of free trade. It is just that the Bloc Québécois reads contracts before signing them. I would like to be a merchant with something to sell and have my hon. colleague as a customer. For example, I could sell him a disco

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very relevant question. As I said at the beginning of my speech, we in the Bloc Québécois generally support free trade agreements. In any case, our demographic and geopolitical situation requires them. I have also had meetings with g

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I thank my distinguished colleague for his question. During yesterday's and today's question period, we very clearly demonstrated that when the Liberal government cites the support of Quebec's government, it is very specific and incidental, and it is chosen very s

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement Implementation Act  Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for the great question and for the joke. A sense of humour is essential for sitting in the House. He asked a great question. The costs need to be assessed. However, since negotiations are still ongoing for some sectors, that is very ha
