Madam Speaker, it is unbelievable. We spend days and days talking about affordability. We hear about the challenges facing citizens as we go through a major economic crisis, and yet people nitpick us when all we are doing is working for Canadians. We are working to promote affordability through the heat pump program. That is more than $1,400 per household. One million households across Canada [more]

Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question, which is a very important one. We do care about the environment. We are committed to tackling climate change. These are important issues, but to achieve our goals, the whole of Canada must work together. C-39 That is what Billis designed to do. Yes, there are ways to improve it, and we will do so, but Bill C-39 does not lower [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, our government is focused on addressing affordability for Canadians. That is right. Today, theannounced that we will provide $2 billion for the national heat pump rebate, which will deliver one million home retrofits across Canada. This will save families up to $1,400 per year. We will continue to put forward measures that address the affordability challenges Canadians [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague for his question. However, I think it is important to take a broader view of the issue. Overall, methane emissions have declined, and the oil and gas sector has improved its performance, resulting in lower emissions. At the same time, emissions associated with the construction sector have increased. Today's announcement will help address [more]

Mr. Speaker, this is indeed an extremely important issue for Canadians and for Quebeckers. That is why our government is taking action on multiple fronts to make life more affordable for Canadians. Prime Minister Today, theannounced a $2-billion measure that will benefit one million households across Canada. This will represent savings of up to $2,000 a year. Not only will this help improve [more]

Mr. Speaker, yelling and getting upset is not going to help the affordability crisis. We need to take action and vote in favour of measures that help Canadians. As I just said, an announcement was made today that will help a million households. In my colleague's riding alone, families will receive $14.5 million from the Canada groceries and essentials benefit. This measure is achieving real [more]

Mr. Speaker, I am surprised to hear my colleague say that our government is dragging its feet. I have not been a member of Parliament for very long, but in the few months since we took office, there has already been some acknowledgement of our government's ability to introduce laws and regulations for Canadians. It is important to create the right conditions. That is Parliament's role. My role [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his important question. As a Quebecker and a former employee of Quebec's environment ministry, I am very pleased to answer it today. Our proposal is simply about speeding up the response. Quebec's environment ministry wanted to review its own environmental laws and its environmental impact assessment legislation. It has the same goal, [more]

C-5 C-39 Mr. Speaker, if we read the content of Billsandcarefully, we can see that they work on the assumption that projects can be developed in keeping with legal requirements while allowing sufficient time for determining the conditions surrounding their implementation. This approach, which resembles what in Quebec is known as the pre-tabling of authorizations, is quite common in countries [more]

C‑39 Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to rise in the House today. I will be speaking in the context of this debate on Bill. I am going to focus on the part that deals with environmental protection. Between the fall of 2015 and the spring of 2025, I had the honour of serving as director general of Quebec's ministry of environment and climate change. During those 10 years, I learned about, [more]

Mr. Speaker, we have not said much about it, but almost half if not more of the projects discussed at the 2026 Canada Investment Summit that elicited considerable interest are projects focused on renewable energy. However, to get these renewable energy projects built quickly and efficiently, and for Canadians to reap the full benefits, it is essential that proponents be given the tools they need [more]
