Madam Speaker, no one can predict what the price of gas will be one month, three months or six months from now. When the conflict in Iran ends, the expectation is that gas prices will go down. Why does my colleague not want to help Canadians now, when they really need it, instead of proposing a longer-term measure that will cost taxpayers a lot of money?
Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague for his excellent speech. He is obviously very proud of his beautiful region of Quebec City. In August, the government awarded a contract worth over $11 billion to the Davie shipyard to build six new icebreakers. C-39 I would like my colleague to tell us how such a contract, which is good for our workers and our suppliers, fits into Bill.
C‑39 Mr. Speaker, I thank the Minister of Transport for his speech on Bill. I would like to ask him the following question: What reassurance can the government offer to people who have concerns about the right to strike, and how can it explain to them that this bill actually aims to make it easier for unions and workers to reach agreements?
Mr. Speaker, as Parliament reconvenes, I wish you and all members a productive session. I also want to pay tribute to someone who made a profound impact on Sherbrooke. Mural artist Serge Malenfant passed away on July 11. He was a happy, audacious and dedicated man whom I had the pleasure of knowing personally. He was one of Sherbrooke's most talented artists and he had a deep love for our city.
