Bloc Québécois on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-09-24

124 words · 9 sentences · 10 clauses

Replying to Bardish Chagger (Liberal). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the bill.

“Madam Speaker, I listen to the debates in the House, and I know that the Bloc Québécois likes to say that there is always one Liberal member who asks questions. There will be several of us today, because I really appreciated that speech. I think that here in the House, we have the opportunity to work together. It is easy to say that we have support or that we do not, but I think that what makes a difference is providing constructive feedback. I would like the member to tell me how we can work better together and how we can ensure that we represent our constituents better in the House, because that is what my constituents in Waterloo want. I want to find ways to work together, and I think that is also the Prime Minister’s approach.”
