C-268 Compton—Stanstead Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to speak to Bill, which is sponsored by the member for. This is a bill that I am particularly interested in, given my professional background. The bill concerns the spectrum policy framework for Canada. The French word for spectrum is “spectre”. If Quebeckers and Canadians were asked what that makes them think of, 99.9% of them would probably
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The first thing I want to say is that it is a bit distracting, when there are not that many people in the House, to hear a conversation between members on the other side.

Today, June 16, he announced that he is leaving us to run for the Parti Québécois in Quebec's general election this fall. I want to congratulate this extraordinary colleague who wears such sharp suits and ties and has such a
York-Durham Mr. Speaker, I wish to inform you that the Bloc Québécois reserves the right to respond at a later date to the point of order raised by the member for.
C-9 Mr. Speaker, I was thinking along the same lines as my colleague from Mount Royal. I congratulate him on his speech. Indeed, the Bloc Québécois's call over the past several years to remove the religious exemption from the Criminal Code has finally been included in Bill, which we are debating today. Like my colleague from Mount Royal, I have never heard any group representing the Jewish
