Bloc Québécois on Business of Supply 2026-06-02

169 words · 11 sentences · 12 clauses

Replying to Elizabeth May (Green). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the motion.

“Madam Speaker, my question concerns the Bloc Québécois’s economic approach. It is clear that the Liberals, the former Conservatives and the current Conservative Party all think alike when it comes to the economy. It is always about economic growth, but without regard for the well-being of everyone. What do my colleague from Mirabel and the Bloc Québécois think of the circular economy or Kate Raworth’s book Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist? Could my colleague explain what the Bloc Québécois’s approach to envisioning a different economy entails?”

Procedure · 4 wordsThat is our view.Procedure Reasoning · 29 wordsAs for the circular economy, we need an economy that is more environmentally friendly and generates less waste. We need an economy that takes all these issues into account. Claims · 33 wordsTwenty or 30 years ago, we were filling landfills. Today, we realize that what we threw away were resources that can be recovered and given value, provided we create a market for them. Reasoning · 10 wordsIn my opinion, that is an approach for the future.
