Berthier—Maskinongé Mr. Speaker, I was slow to rise because I was delighted with my colleague from's comments. C‑30 Jonquière We just talked about another topic, infrastructure and airports. Obviously, I have a lot to say about Bill. I am thinking, for example, of the work done by my colleague fromon everything to do with the industry. In my riding, workers in the forestry and aluminum sectors [more]

Mr. Speaker, that is just one data point. That said, I will not defend the government. Things seem grim over there, and there is not as much spending as we would like to see to stimulate all sectors of our economy, particularly local ones. I think a broader perspective is called for—a vision, even. I am sure my colleague feels that the government's current proposal lacks vision. The way I see [more]

Mr. Speaker, when I spoke about ports and airports, I was referring to indigenous communities. I am thinking of the Innu communities of Unamen Shipu, Pakuashipi, Nutashkuan and even Mingan and Ekuanitshit, which need this infrastructure to develop.

Mr. Angutimarik, I believe you also spoke about young people who want to work in the north and pursue opportunities there, but [more]

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I think you are giving me more speaking time. It's very generous, no matter who gives it to me. We're all here for the same thing. Mr. Recinos, you didn't have the opportunity earlier to answer the question about how crises highlight the vulnerabilities of the north and how we should actually strengthen or improve resilience. I'll give you the time I have left to [more]

Do I have a few seconds left?

I have one last question for you, Ms. Hodgson or Mr. Tan. Ms. Hodgson, you mentioned the issue of ownership. I think you wanted to address unfounded fears or ideas about the very nature of the treaty, but I don't want to put words in your mouth, of course. Could you talk briefly about the subject?
