Madam Speaker, I think we are debating a rather straightforward matter here today. It is not very complicated. We want to know whether we need an independent public inquiry on the Cúram fiasco. It is simple. The debate should be focused on that request. One thing we have learned is that, when problems arose, public servants were told not to tell the public that they were caused by the Cúram [more]

Mr. Speaker, one Quebecker's ingenuity is bringing honour to our entire nation on the international stage. Gilles Brassard, a professor at the University of Montreal, has been given the Turing Award, the world’s highest honour in computer science. This prize, often compared to the Nobel Prize, is a crowning achievement in a long career dedicated to advancing quantum computing and cryptography, [more]

Mr. Speaker, I paid close attention to my colleague's speech. He said that the opposition is sometimes too critical of the government on immigration issues and that it should maybe make more of an effort to work across party lines on some issues. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Interestingly, Radio-Canada published an article in February that included a lot of criticism of the [more]

Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Mr. Speaker, I am quite surprised that my colleagues are saying they are astonished by the criticism of the. My colleagues would not be so surprised if they had read and watched Radio-Canada's reporting. This time, Radio-Canada went to the trouble of publishing the same report in English as well so that my colleagues from the rest of Canada could [more]

Thank you so much, Ms. Deschamps-Laporte. Professor Tepper, you mentioned the importance of measuring engagement, the assistance provided to the new Syrian government. You left the subject open. In your view, should the priority not be on the criteria for measuring the engagement of democratic countries, of which Canada is one, vis‑à‑vis the Syrian government? If we want responsibility and [more]

That is just what I thought. You are ahead of me. What are the current repercussions on Syria of the war that the United States and Israel are waging against Iran? Can you give us some more details about that, for the benefit of the analysts and the members of the committee?

Thank you. I'd like to commend the witnesses for the high level of discussion that we have had today. My thanks to you all.

My sincere thanks to the witnesses

Thank you. Mr. Chair. This is incredible. My colleagues are being magnanimous to us, even though our party is smaller. Mr. Abou Diab, I would like to go back to what you were just saying. You were talking about Türkiye and Saudi Arabia. Internationally, can the new Syrian government rely on any other regimes as staunch allies at the moment? Is it mostly Turkey and Saudi Arabia?

Thank you so much for that very interesting answer, albeit to complex questions. Mr. Abou Diab, you told us about the Druze and the Christians, particularly what is going on in the northwest with the Kurds. Human rights organizations are saying that things are not going at all well in that region. How do you see the ability of the government to protect civilians and to abide by international [more]

Mr. Chair, Mr. Ste‑Marie has left.

My thanks to the witnesses for joining us for this important study. Ms. Deschamps-Laporte, you have just been talking about collective ambition and referring, among other things, to certain international assistance programs that normally come with a budget allocation. In terms of collective ambition, what we are currently seeing around the world is that humanitarian assistance to the tune of [more]
