C‑39 Mr. Speaker, I will take that as a no. Quebec was not consulted on regions of national interest. That is not all. After announcing, without consulting Quebec, that it planned to privatize airports, the government is now using Billto privatize ports. Quebec's ports are obviously essential infrastructure for our economy, but the federal government is opening the door for them to be run by [more]

C‑39 Mr. Speaker, Billhas nothing to do with making Canada strong. It is a bill for making democracy weak. It is 250 pages of measures that take an axe to almost every federal law, undermining our rights and harming our environment. In one of these measures, Ottawa is giving itself the power to designate any part of Quebec as a region of national interest and place it under federal control. [more]

Rivière-du-Nord C‑10 C‑30 Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleague a question along similar lines to the one my colleague fromjust asked. He asked why we are on the umpteenth version of this bill. I would like to know why this bill is the oldest one still before the House. This is Bill, but we have now progressed beyond Bill. There does not seem to be any filibustering, and there is a [more]

Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to a great man from my region, someone who made it famous far beyond its borders. Claude Bachand, the Bloc Québécois member of Parliament for Saint‑Jean from 1993 to 2011, has passed away. Everyone knew Claude, and everyone liked him. In fact, colleagues from all different parties on Parliament Hill would often ask me about him, even 15 years after he [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be here and to see my colleagues whom I missed over the summer. However, I almost feel as though we are on a diplomatic mission to a foreign country. The topic that we are debating today is a reminder of something that happens all too often in Ottawa, and that is centralization and interference. C-266 I do not want to impute motives to the member who introduced [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, let us look at the's record so far. He betrayed the climate. He betrayed our culture by leaving billions of dollars on the table. He made multiple concessions to Donald Trump with nothing to show for it. Also, Quebec's economy was hit the hardest by the tariffs, yet it received the least support, especially for the lumber industry and for steel and aluminum processing. [more]

Mr. Speaker, as we take stock of this parliamentary session, there are two things that Quebeckers will remember. Prime Minister Laurier—Sainte-Marie The first is how thebetrayed the environment by putting an end to Canada's fight against climate change and by pushing the member forto resign. The second is how the Prime Minister betrayed our culture by sacrificing the creation of French-language [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, ourhas nothing but contempt for the work of Parliament. He is ramming through draconian laws using closure. He is concentrating all powers in hands of cabinet. He is using those powers to deregulate industry for the benefit of primarily American companies or to suspend certain laws. On the international stage, he says that he wants to form an alliance of middle powers [more]

Mr. Speaker, July 1 is fast approaching and, when it comes to tackling the housing crisis, there is a prominent local figure who stands out from the crowd and refuses to give in to fatalism. Jean-François Tremblay, an impact real estate investor—but more importantly, a man of compassion—is demonstrating that it is possible to innovate and take concrete action to meet a fundamental need like that [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are confusing their parliamentary majority with the right to do what they want, when they want. The time allocations never seem to stop, which is especially odd considering that their bills are certain to pass. C‑30 C‑22 C‑5 Prime Minister Yesterday, it was Bill, which authorizes the government to approve the use of previously banned pesticides. Today, it is Bill, which [more]
