Mr. Speaker, my colleague has an excellent grasp of the issues we are discussing. I would like him to talk a bit more about workforce development. When it comes to drinking water and waste water in municipalities, they are already struggling to find enough skilled staff to manage these systems. C-37 I would like him to talk about how Billwill help increase the workforce in first nations [more]

Madam Speaker, my colleague opposite gave a very heartfelt speech. It is obvious that he really cares about this issue. C-37 In my previous life, I had the opportunity to manage drinking water plants and sewage treatment plants for the towns of Saint-Adèle and Saint-Sauveur, so I am very familiar with the mechanisms for boil water advisories and safe drinking water practices. What I see in [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, when I went door-knocking this summer, everyone I talked to told me how much confidence they have in theand how much they appreciate our stance vis-à-vis the United States. My colleague says that we have not explained things, but I think everything is clear. We need to protect our sovereignty. Just today, we announced $2 billion for energy efficiency and to help [more]

Mr. Speaker, everybody knows that prices are high because of the war in Iran and the trade war we have with the U.S. We are going to control what we can control. C-39 We voted today on Bill, which would advance major projects. I would like the member to explain to us how getting major projects done in Canada is going to work in a great way and get Canadians to work.

Okay. Thank you.

I would like to ask you one last quick question. Have you assessed whether the energy performance of prefabricated homes differs from the energy performance of homes built directly on site?

That's good to know. I'll back up what you said. At home, we had only baseboard heaters. However, two years ago, I added a heat pump. Just by doing this, we reduced our electricity usage by 40%. Before being elected to the federal government, I was a mayor. In my constituency, one mayor is quite proactive when it comes to renovations. He tried to get a bylaw passed to ban gas heating systems. [more]

I also have the flaw of being an engineer. You said that you looked at some models that were more advanced than the ones originally used. What has changed in the models? What other criteria were incorporated into these models to make them more realistic?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Ms. Papineau, thank you for joining us. Your comments are quite helpful. I would like to explore this issue a bit further. You said that replacing a house's doors and windows didn't achieve the desired results. People tend to think that a house's openings are the deciding factor. How did you determine that this wasn't as effective as previously thought?

Mr. Speaker, I always like working with my hon. colleague, the member for Saanich—Gulf Islands. We always have great conversations. Prime Minister What I am hearing in my riding when I go door to door is that people have confidence in what ouris doing, what measures we are putting in place and how they help people in my riding. I live north of Montreal. A lot of people work in Montreal but live [more]

Mr. Speaker, as usual, my hon. colleague gave a very eloquent speech. Saanich—Gulf Islands C‑38 As I was saying earlier when I asked the member fora question, many of my constituents who have to sit in traffic will be able to benefit from Billby saving money on gas. Many of my constituents work in my colleague's riding. Can my colleague expand on how these people will be able to benefit from [more]
