Andréanne Larouche Bloc Québécois
“I worry this bill gives the federal government more power over areas that belong to Quebec. I want to make sure Quebec energy companies get to speak about it in committee.”
“Mr. Speaker, regarding Bill S‑3, I want to hear my colleague talk about the context in his province. At home in Quebec, we have Hydro-Québec and Énergir. In the new context of a majority government, we are going to see more than ever the government, in this federal system, try to interfere in Quebec’s jurisdictions and give itself more powers. The Bloc Québécois wants to make sure that Hydro‑Québec and Énergir are at least heard in committee. We want to ensure that Quebec’s jurisdictions are respected and that the minister refrains from interfering even more. What does my colleague think about our desire to ensure that Quebec’s jurisdictions are respected in this area?”
