Mr. Speaker, there is something that struck me in my colleague's speech. He said that Bill C‑37 did not take into account the work that was done on Bill C‑61 in committee, where improvements were made. My colleague gave us a lot of examples of that. Why does he think the government did not keep these improvements? Is it just complacency? Is it because the government is not doing its homework?
C‑39 Madam Speaker, the ultimate proof that Billis a pro-oil bill is that the Conservatives voted for it yesterday alongside the Liberals. In Canada, the only time the Conservatives get along with the Liberals is when there is an opportunity to undermine the environment for the benefit of oil companies. When the Liberals propose getting rid of impact assessments for pipelines, suspending the

He is afraid that ministers will be able to unilaterally suspend environmental legislation. He
Mr. Speaker, I congratulate my colleague and friend on his excellent speech. He clearly knows his subject well. He is passionate about it. We learn a lot from him. I think he paints a clear picture of the challenges and everything that needs to be done. He was referring to the last Parliament and traced all of this back some 40 years. I would like to go back about 10 years instead. At the time,
Madam Speaker, I too would like to wish you, my colleagues and all House employees a happy Thanksgiving and a fruitful constituency week. Naturally, I am also including the interpreters, pages, security staff and all the employees who make it possible for us to do our jobs.

Madam Speaker, there is obviously a lot of work to do when it comes to energy efficiency. The Bloc Québécois believes that energy efficiency relates to the environment and climate change. In Quebec, we are fortunate to have clean electricity, which is basically produced by hydro power. That is a big advantage, and we have a role to play in the economy of tomorrow. We think it is unfortunate
Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague and friend for his question and his speech. It is true, time flies. Where did those 11 years go? There is still a lot of work to be done. Of those 11 years, 10 were under the Trudeau government, a period marked by significant spending aimed at reducing poverty and improving affordability. Some examples include child benefits and the reinstatement
Madam Speaker, I congratulate my colleague on his excellent speech and the many points he made. I would him to tell me more about the forestry industry and the problems it faces. At the northern end of my riding, the St‑Michel sawmill has been closed since August, not of this year, but last year. It is currently in court, trying to find a solution.

Mr. Speaker, I want to commend my colleague on her speech. I would like to know what the government intends to do to support seniors' purchasing power. Seniors are facing challenges when it comes to affordability. Since the 2000s, the poverty rate among seniors has been rising, mainly because they live on a fixed income that is not sufficiently indexed to inflation. That is particularly true for
Jonquière—Hébertville—Pays-des-Bleuets Madam Speaker, I would like to inform you that I will be sharing my time with my colleague and friend, the hon. member for. Both inflation and the housing crisis are hitting older Canadians particularly hard. The cost of living continues to climb, yet many seniors are living on fixed incomes so their purchasing power is eroding. A few months ago,
Madam Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary. I am fortunate to sit with him on the Standing Committee on Industry. I applaud the fact that the government is investing in housing, particularly affordable housing and hopefully social housing. We will have to see how the new government in Quebec City will work with Build Canada Homes, the Crown corporation. We will see if that changes the
C-5 C-15 C-39 Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear what the minister just said in response because the government is forcing massive bills down our throats, bills like,andin the name of national interest. The national interest seems to be a broad concept, but, in our view, funding ambitious measures to combat homelessness would truly be in the national interest. Some 12,000 unhoused people in
Mr. Speaker, there are more than 12,000 homeless people in Quebec. What was restricted to big cities now extends to all regions of Quebec. These are people who are suffering, who are hungry and who are at risk every day. They are dying, as we have sadly seen today. On behalf of the Bloc Québécois and no doubt all my colleagues in the House, I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of the
With respect to the funds you administer to support infrastructure in areas where there isn't a business case, would you consider doing what was done for Internet coverage? I mean letting Quebec City administer the funding, or does that fall under the Department of Industry? As we saw, things moved quite fast and the approach was successful.
I'd like to ask you about licensing. With the conditions of licence, is it possible to provide good coverage in regions? What do you think? We can't revisit old licences, but what can you say about that?
