MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Normandin frequently criticizes the Prime Minister and government as abandoning Quebec's interests, especially on issues like the environment, trade with the US, and protecting Quebec culture. She pushes for more federal money and programs targeted to Quebec. Her statements often focus on perceived slights and betrayals by the PM rather than concrete policy asks.
Oral Questions
“The government should not use the same rules everywhere. Montreal and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu are not the same. Montreal people will not spend over two hours to come work here. But we need these workers for projects the government says it wants. The rules are dumb. The minister should change them.”
“The rules are bad. They lump us in with Montreal. Our real rate here is different. Everyone here hates this rule. I want to carve out our area as its own exception.”
Oral Questions
“Washington's tariffs mean the government should spend more on our programs. Seniors should get more money. Sawmills should get more money. The government should put all of this in a statement on Tuesday. Will it?”
“I want you to spend more money to protect Quebec jobs. Give wage subsidies to businesses hurt by tariffs.”
“I want to cheer for a program that spends money in my riding.”
