Intergovernmental Affairs
During Question Period on intergovernmental affairs, members debated whether the Premier of Quebec should be included in an upcoming Canada–European Union summit being held in Quebec. Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Québécois member Mario Simard said the talks touch areas of provincial jurisdiction, including energy, labour mobility and critical minerals, and asked that Quebec’s premier be given a speaking role or a seat at the table. Minister Joël Lightbound responded that the summit would strengthen ties with a large European market, that all premiers were invited, and that closer EU ties benefit Quebec and Canada. He also said the Bloc does not speak for all Quebeckers and pointed to federal investments in Quebec infrastructure, the Davie shipyard, Alstom, Churchill Falls and high-speed rail.Written by AI from the debate.
