Mario Simard Bloc Québécois
“The government did not talk to the Bloc Québécois to see what we want in this economic update. For example, Ottawa still has not paid Quebec back for asylum seekers or for the carbon tax. I want my colleague to speak about this.”
“Mr. Speaker, in his excellent speech, my colleague pointed out that no negotiations have taken place between the Bloc Québécois and the government to determine what might make this economic statement acceptable to the Bloc Québécois. Some things are quite obvious, such as the fact that the federal government has never reimbursed Quebec for services provided to asylum seekers or for the carbon tax. I would like my colleague to talk about these two glaring inequities by the federal government.”
