Bienvenu-Olivier Ntumba

Mr. Speaker, my colleague gave a great speech. She did an outstanding job of laying out all of our government's commitments. I would like her to explain to the House again how all of the commitments we have made since our election have steered Canada in the right direction.

C-39 Mr. Speaker, Canadians want more housing, robust infrastructure, energy projects and trade corridors. Billis specifically designed to reduce delays and enable projects of national interest to be completed more quickly, while, of course, maintaining the consultations and safeguards provided for by law. My question is simple. Does the Bloc Québécois actively support the objective of building [more]

Mr. Speaker, my colleague gave a fine speech about the opinion of his political party. Can he explain to me how he would do a better job defending the benefits of this bill? This bill does not remove standards. Instead, it sets out guidelines to fast-track the implementation of projects so that Canada can be the master in its own house. My colleague argued at length about his opposition to the [more]

Mr. Speaker, as I said, Bill C‑39 does not eliminate standards. Instead, it reduces duplication. This bill addresses a need. Canada needs it now to diversify on the global stage.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians elected a new government, and they have a majority government. I think we are in good stead with Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer this response to my colleague. As I said in my speech, this is not about eliminating standards, but about reducing duplication. It is also about making processes more consistent and predictable. Our approach is to make Canada stronger and better equipped.

C-39 Mr. Speaker, Billwill truly modernize, strengthen and speed up processes. Earlier, I spoke about standardizing e-document transfers, which would reduce red tape. There is the Contrecoeur port project on Montreal's south shore. This is a major project that will bring significant innovation and generate many new jobs in the region. Thanks to Bill C-39, projects like this will move forward more [more]

Mr. Speaker, over the past few years, Canadians have seen how events that are happening far from home can have a very real effect on our economy. A conflict on the other side of the world can disrupt the energy market. A lack of shipping capacity can drive up costs for our businesses. A disruption on a railway, on a highway or at a port can affect producers and consumers at both ends of the [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would ask him why he would not vote for this bill now to move Canada forward.

Thank you for your answer. Canadians, as a whole, aren't always familiar with what the CRTC does. I'm sharing my time with my colleague Ms. O'Rourke, so this will be my last question. I was in Nunavut recently with colleagues for our rural caucus, and we saw that, outside certain areas, there is little connectivity in northern Canada. Of course, I was talking about the Ottawa area, Montreal [more]

Good morning, Ms. Wright. How are you?

As a Canadian who takes the train from Quebec City to Ottawa, I'd like to ask you something. When the train travels through certain areas, I sometimes lose connectivity, and I could be in the middle of a meeting on my cellphone or tablet. I imagine you get asked this a lot, but I'd like to hear your answer. Is that a common occurrence for someone like me who regularly takes the train to Ottawa? [more]

I'm going to continue along the same lines. It's true that there is a plan in place. The Americans keep tripping us up, so to speak. What is your medium-term and long-term vision for the support you're going to provide for innovation in Canada?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, Minister. You were here three weeks ago, and we're happy to have you back. The last time you appeared, in April, you announced a tariff response following new measures imposed by the United States. Since then, there have been a number of announcements across the country, from east to west. After that tour following the announcement, have you seen any real [more]

Yes.
