Mr. Speaker, the colleague knows very well that we are here for real Canadians with real programs. We are investing in affordable homes. We have committed to ending homelessness in the next 10 years. We are putting $10 billion through Build Canada Homes to build transitional housing, $5 billion to support projects that bring together housing and social projects, $6.5 million to renew the Reaching
Mr. Speaker, my colleague talked about affordability. I know that he is keenly aware that housing is the number one expense for a household. Budget 2026 invests $45 billion in improving the housing supply to tackle all the housing-related issues. This includes recapitalizing Build Canada Homes to build even more affordable housing. We are maintaining the existing programs that support tens of
Mr. Speaker, as my colleague is well aware, we made historic investments in health care in the 2025 budget. We are continuing to do so in the 2026 budget, for example with a $2-billion program that will invest in mental health infrastructure and in tackling addiction, and with a new $5-million fund that will support projects that integrate social services, health and housing. We are committed to
Mr. Speaker, we, on this side of the House, are aware of the situation. We know that housing is one of the biggest expenses for families. That is why, yesterday, we made historic investments in housing to continue the work that we began last year. We are recapitalizing Build Canada Homes to triple the construction of affordable housing. We are continuing to support programs under which tens of
Mr. Speaker, single-use plastics are one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. A team of researchers in Trois-Rivières is trying to come up with solutions to address this issue. Today, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada will present a Synergy Award for Innovation to Julien Bley, Martin Dubé and Tarik Jabrane of Innofibre at the CEGEP de
Madam Speaker, I want to thank the member for his service. I am just wondering if the member is aware that, under our government, we have done so much in support of veterans, including over these last few months, such as the disability benefit, which we have invested in for over four years. Just last week, we launched a veteran employer recognition initiative, which is going to help veterans
Mr. Speaker, I am confused about what my colleague is saying because, quite simply, the Conservatives have no plan to make life more affordable for families. On the contrary, they have consistently voted against everything we have done since the beginning of the year. From the very start, they have been telling us that the government has no business getting involved in building affordable
Madam Speaker, that is an excellent question from my esteemed colleague. Over the past few months, we have witnessed a number of high-profile disputes involving online platforms. In response, many of these platforms have already begun voluntarily introducing the sort of environment we want for our young people. Financial penalties will certainly be a further asset. However, beyond financial
Madam Speaker, I am honoured to rise in the House to share the views of my constituents in Trois‑Rivières, as well as those of my family. I have two kids aged 16 and 18. My daughter just turned 16 yesterday. They are not affected by the bill, but it was a close call. They are certainly interested in it, though. We have had some lively discussions about it. As the mother of two teens, I can say
Madam Speaker, it is true that we have worked together productively at the HUMA committee on a number of issues that have a real impact on people's lives. In my view, the right approach is to establish an independent Canadian commission with both the power to legislate on such cases and the expertise to identify the best way to protect our children and secure the necessary commitments from the
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for asking her question in French. I appreciate it. That does not mean that we agree, but I am still appreciative. From what I heard from my children, the Mauricie youth council and stakeholders, I can say that this bill is necessary. It enacts laws like the digital safety act and digital safety commission of Canada act. It creates a new commission. We really
