C-39 Madam Speaker, the government keeps trying to reassure workers, particularly on the issue of labour rights, which, quite frankly, are literally being trampled by Bill. Despite the government's attempts to sugar-coat it, Bill C-39 actually weakens protections for workers' rights, which is a real cause for concern for trade unions across Quebec and Canada. They are trying to sugar-coat all [more]

Madam Speaker, since this is the first time I have had the opportunity to speak to you today, I would like to take the opportunity to say hello and welcome you back to Parliament. C‑39 Listening to the speech by my colleague from Fort McMurray—Cold Lake, I realize how far apart the Conservatives and the Bloc are on these issues. I thought that Billwent beyond everything the Conservatives have [more]

Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I am sorry to intervene. I simply want to tell my colleague to pay particular attention to the microphones. When he puts down his papers, it can be very unpleasant for the interpreters. I know that is not really his intent.

Madam Speaker, I thank my Conservative colleague for his remarks, his comments and his speech. Prime Minister Since he was elected in 2025, we have seen thisacting as if he could not care less about parliamentary procedure. He has his objective, so he is going ahead and trampling on just about every established procedure and tradition, and that is very worrisome. This bill raises some serious [more]

Prime Minister Madam Speaker, I actually get the sense that Stephen Harper was more to the left than the current. The more time goes by, the more the measures this Prime Minister is putting in place that make me think that the Conservatives are jealous that he is not on the right side of the House based on his political stripes. C‑39 Bill, which we analyzed with our teams, as I am sure the [more]

Mr. Speaker, the government has said that it is dropping the levy and that it will make up for it with public funds. Where is it going to get that money? Directly from the pockets of taxpayers is where. The problem is that, instead of taking money out of the pockets of multinational Internet companies, the federal government is sticking citizens with the bill while giving them no say in the [more]

Mr. Speaker, the Broadcasting Act is among the many laws that the Prime Minister intends to break. It was the Liberals themselves who legislated for the CRTC to impose levies on American online streaming platforms. However, they are breaking their own law by asking the CRTC to disregard it and cancel the levies. That is unbelievable. That is a complete sellout of Quebec culture in favour of the [more]

Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to see how people dodge the issue. Discoverability is one thing. Contributing financially is another. Prime Minister Thewants to build closer ties with Europe and distance himself from the Americans. When it comes to culture, the European Union requires American streaming platforms to pay a levy. It imposed a levy without any significant price hikes for users. In [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, theclaims he broke off negotiations with Washington to protect our culture. However, yesterday, when he was asked to reconsider his policies on American streaming platforms' contributions, he categorically refused. We will say it again and again, as many times as it takes: The future of francophone culture in Quebec and Canada depends on contributions from the web [more]

Mr. Speaker, I want to commend my Conservative colleague for his pertinent remarks on this bill. My question is this. Over the years, we have seen this government cloak itself in virtue. Every time they speak in any location, they say they are on unceded territory, they reach out to first nations communities, they show them some love, as teenagers like to say nowadays. However, when it comes to [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to see you again, as well as all my colleagues, for this new session of Parliament. C‑10 Côte-Nord—Kawawachikamach—Nitassinan I am very happy to see everyone again and to begin the debate on Bill, which I think is important and I find interesting. My colleague fromworked very hard on this bill. I think everyone already knows that the Bloc Québécois agrees with the [more]

Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands on her speech. She has been in this House for many years. My colleague was very, very young when she was first elected, as we all know. She has seen various permutations of government. I was first elected in 2019. The Liberal government held a minority. We had to debate important bills and sensitive issues. The [more]
