Mr. Speaker, today is November 4 and tomorrow, a budget named “Masters of Our Destiny” is going to be tabled. The real question, however, is who is going to end up master of whose house. The Liberals caved to Donald Trump by sacrificing our culture. They used our own money to buy a pipeline for American oil company owners. They want to sell our airports to foreign interests. We even found out [more]

Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers would feel a little more like masters in their own home if their money were used to meet their needs. That means Ottawa would need to reverse all its environmental rollbacks and fossil fuel subsidies and invest here instead. It would need to reverse its cultural concessions and make American tech giants contribute to our creative industries. It would need to invest in [more]

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the federal government is discussing a potentially major agreement with Europe that would cover areas where it has no jurisdiction. The government never asked Quebec for its opinion, the Liberals never consulted the public in an election, and there was never a debate in Parliament. Everything is happening behind the's closed doors. This matter is important enough to [more]

C-269 Côte-Nord—Kawawachikamach—Nitassinan Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise to speak to Bill. My colleague frompreviously indicated where the Bloc Québécois stands on this bill. As she already said, although it is clear that the bill does need some improvement and some clarification, the idea behind it is fundamentally good, especially in a context where the goal is to reduce our carbon [more]

Madam Speaker, it seems obvious to me that, for $80,000, the contract should not have been awarded to a foreign company. That said, I would like to ask my colleague some questions about the flexibility needed to justify keeping a contract in Canada, even when doing so is not the most competitive option from a strictly economic standpoint. Has my colleague given any thought to that aspect of the [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canada and the European Union have announced initiatives that may, or may not, lead to associate membership status. They discussed critical minerals, energy, regulatory alignment in trade, cultural exchanges, wildfire management and much more. All these areas fall under Quebec's jurisdiction. Not only does the federal government lack the constitutional authority to act in these [more]

Madam Speaker, today's debate is primarily about Canada's sovereignty and the need to ensure that Canadian taxpayers' money is not sent to the United States. s there not a contradiction in the Conservatives' position, given that one of their priorities is to support the oil and gas industry, including by building pipelines using public funds, in other words taxpayers' money, when not only are 80% [more]

Mr. Speaker, the CBC must appreciate the minister's disregard for it. For years, the Bloc Québécois has been warning the federal government that Quebec will be hit harder by European tariffs if Canada ends its carbon pricing. Well, that time has come. Even if Quebec maintains its carbon pricing, 800 million dollars' worth of our Quebec metals will still be subject to tariffs. Thanks to Canada, [more]

Mr. Speaker, Quebec wants to boost trade with Europe in the face of the tariff crisis, but CBC is reporting that Canada is going to hamper our efforts. The European Union imposes tariffs on products from countries with poor environmental records. Since Canada, unlike Quebec, has scrapped its carbon pricing, it is exposing us to penalties. An internal memo estimates that $2.8 billion worth of [more]
