Brunelle-Duceppe presses the government on the tariff war, backing the Bloc’s wage subsidy proposal for affected businesses and a diesel excise tax credit, fighting oil and gas subsidies he puts at $14 billion a year, and pushing for a Canadian Armed Forces reserve unit in Saint-Félicien. He frequently states events without naming who did them, saying “It has been abandoned” or “Hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money are being used to subsidize it,” and presses opponents with pointed follow-up questions until he gets a straight answer.Written by AI from their statements.

Business of Supply

“I agree that the government's new investment fund is just a gimmick. I want the Leader of the Opposition to explain how Norway's real wealth fund is different from this Liberal fund.”

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Leader of the Opposition. I believe he hit the nail on the head when he started his speech by describing the new Canada Strong fund as a “gimmick”. I would like to thank him on behalf of the Bloc Québécois. The Leader of the Opposition has economic expertise. I have heard many MPs and ministers, and even the Liberal Prime Minister, compare the new Canada Strong fund to Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. Could the Leader of the Opposition explain the difference between the sovereign wealth fund—Norway’s genuine sovereign wealth fund—and the sovereign wealth fund of the new Liberal government?

Bilodeau Canada

“I want to congratulate Bilodeau Canada, a business in my riding. They made over 250 costumes and props for the movie Frankenstein, which just won an Oscar for best costumes.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, last month, a Lac-Saint-Jean business was showcased on the world stage at the 98th Academy Awards. The work of Samuel Bilodeau and the entire team at Bilodeau Canada was highlighted at the Oscars ceremony when Guillermo del Toro’s film Frankenstein won the award for best costumes. Frankenstein, which won three Oscars, owes part of its success to the work done in the town of Normandin. It was there that more than 250 pieces were created for the production, far away from the bright lights of Hollywood. From the coats worn by the main characters, including Victor Frankenstein, to the wolves’ costumes that appear in the film, Bilodeau’s craftsmanship has impressed many. The Lac-Saint-Jean-based clothing manufacturer also designed four sleds and several trappers’ barrels for the Oscar-winning feature film. These pieces, crafted in the heart of Lac-Saint-Jean, contributed to the film’s success and are a source of immense pride. I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Samuel and Marie‑Josée and to the entire Bilodeau team.

Government Orders

“The Liberals claim that committee work is important. Yet they ignore the work done by members from all parties and the witnesses who testified. I want to know what my colleague thinks about how the Liberals treat our committees and our democracy.”

Mr. Speaker, in a response he gave earlier to my colleague from Saint‑Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government said how important House of Commons committees are, going so far as to say that we can read everything that is said in committee because it is all on the committee’s web page and, as parliamentarians, we have access to all the work done by committees, even if we do not sit on them. I find it rather ironic that the parliamentary secretary is telling us how important parliamentary committees are when the Liberals do not even respect the work that was done by all the parliamentarians who were present, regardless of party, and by all the people who came to testify. I want to know what my colleague thinks of the Liberals’ conception of parliamentary democracy and committee work, especially as it relates to us today.

“A House committee spent public money and many hours studying an important report. They listened to experts and victims. Now the government is completely ignoring that work. I want to ask my colleague what he thinks this says about the government's respect for democracy.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister keeps saying that he wants to manage public finances in a wiser, more rigorous way. A House of Commons committee spent hours studying an extremely important report. The committee heard from experts and victims. Members of Parliament and their staff, as well as the committee staff, examined the matter during several meetings. Public funds were used for the benefit of parliamentary democracy. Now we are learning that the government is completely ignoring all the work that was done. This government is not looking at it at all. I would like my colleague to comment on the frustration this caused him. What does he think this all means? What does all this show about the government’s understanding of parliamentary democracy?

“If my colleague could make just one change to this bill right away, what would it be?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed my colleague’s speech. My question is quite simple. If it were possible to make just one amendment to this bill, is there a particularly important one that my colleague would want to immediately make to the bill? If so, what is it?
