Mr. Speaker, I would like to highlight the remarkable work done by Garde-manger pour tous, La Cantine pour tous, Toujours ensemble and the Breakfast Club in the fight against food insecurity in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun. Thanks to their engagement, thousands of children have access to nutritious meals and snacks every day. In my riding, more than 44,500 meals were served in just one year across four [more]

I just want to add something to what Mr. Simard said, Mr. Chair. I think this is an emergency, because we're talking about something that can hurt the lumber industry. That means it's related to what we worked on with lumber. If the European measure takes effect in November, those products will almost immediately start being dumped here in Canada. In any case, I would encourage Mr. Simard to [more]

Now I will go to you, Ms. Bellissimo. It's good to see you again. I really am curious to read the supply chain study you talked about, because one of the biggest issues we've had in talking and in my responsibility as parliamentary secretary, is about all of this manufacturing for many of the components of solar, wind or storage being mostly in China. We have many manufacturing industries that [more]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ms. Patterson, I'm going to start the discussion with you. I was listening to your three different criteria or requests that you made, and I'm pretty sure that you spent some time looking at the deal in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. Across these three criteria, did we learn something that supports your requests as part of this deal?

Not hydro?

Doesn't the bill say that now the Energy Regulator is going to be in charge of the impact assessment? Now, of course, they're going to have to deal with the fisheries, but—

The other thing that you talked about is the regulatory environment and certainty, and you mentioned fisheries. Have you had a chance to look at the building Canada strong act, the new bill we tabled?

If I'm not mistaken, in that agreement, we are addressing the financing portion of your three elements by extending the period and by supplying the balance sheet of the federal government, which has a lower financing rate than the provinces. Is that correct?

What do you think about the approach to impact assessment as part of that?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for raising that point. It is unacceptable that these documents were not provided in French. We agree that Quebeckers must be able to understand and participate in discussions on projects that could affect their communities. We have made it clear to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories that it must support engagement, discussion and consultation in both official [more]

Mr. Speaker, our colleagues have short memories, and I am not convinced they read the news. They seem to have forgotten that we announced the Contrecoeur expansion of the port of Montreal, which will create 8,000 direct and indirect jobs and attract $1.2 billion in investment. The Nouveau Monde Graphite mine in Matawinie will create 1,000 new jobs and attract $1.2 billion in investment. Did they [more]
