Combatting Hate Act
“That bad thing? I bet you don't like that. So let's get rid of that old rule that lets them do it.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Mario Beaulieu
Beaulieu focuses on getting federal money and protections for Quebec's industries, especially when US tariffs or other threats arise. He repetitively pushes the government to spend more in his riding and change national policies to benefit Quebec. Beaulieu also reliably brings up any perceived slight to Quebec, like a lack of consultation or allegedly unfair treatment compared to other provinces.
“I want to know whether you actually support repealing this religious exemption. Nobody would be forbidden from just reading a religious text. But using those texts to deliberately incite hatred against a group or a religion would become a crime.”
“That last speaker just mentioned freedom. I'm going to change the subject. I want to talk about how my party got an amendment passed. We want to get rid of a religious exemption. I'm going to ask you what you think of that. I want everyone to be more civilized and respect each other.”
“I want the Conservatives to debate solutions. I want them to propose something that can get to an agreement.”
“I want to ban more religious speech. The current law has too many loopholes that let people say things I don't like.”
Government Orders
Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30
“The federal government takes too much tax money from Quebec and the provinces. They promised to pay half of health care costs, but now only pay 22%. The provinces want 35%. We would settle for 6%, but they will probably only give 3%. This isn't fair to Quebec. How can anyone manage like this?”
“You're ignoring me. I want to change the topic and try to get you with a gotcha question.”
“I think you're a hypocrite for not supporting every subsidy. What about oil subsidies? Do you want to cut those too, or just the ones I like?”
Government Orders
Bail and Sentencing Reform Act
“I don't like adding more jail time for car theft. That won't stop crime. Studies say so.”
Government Orders
Government Business No. 11—Proceedings on Bill C-26
“Why didn't the government say earlier it would transfer the money directly to Quebec? That would have avoided a lot of arguing. I wish they had been more transparent from the start.”

“I want the government to spend on social housing projects instead of affordable private housing. We should spend more on vulnerable voters.”
Government Orders
Build Canada Homes Act
“Why make a new program? CMHC could do this. Quebec knows best. Just send the money to Quebec.”
Government Orders
Main Estimates, 2026-27
“The government's spending plans are based on questionable assumptions. The Parliamentary Budget Officer says they likely won't meet their own targets for reducing the deficit. What do you think of that?”
Government Orders
Business of Supply
“The Conservatives say things are really bad. The Liberals say everything is fine. But downgrades, low growth, and a big deficit suggest they're both wrong.”
“I want to say that Canada's economy is bad. I want to blame Liberals for the economy. But I will also say that Conservatives talk too much about how bad things are. Both other parties are too extreme.”
Government Orders
Business of Supply
“Hello. I want to make a point about the new U.S. tariffs. The tariffs will hurt Quebec's exports badly. We in the Bloc think the government should spend money to subsidize businesses and help them pay wages. What does my former seatmate think of our spending idea?”
“I want to challenge Conservatives about the cost of their proposal to eliminate fuel taxes. They should be willing to cut oil subsidies too to make up the lost money.”
“The Conservatives might be overstating things. But Liberal policies did help cause this recession. Their immigration ideas make no sense. They drove up housing costs. And public service costs too. They won't pay Quebec back for that. They owe us $700 million for asylum seekers. The Liberals won't pay. What will you do for Quebec?”
“Conservatives hurt Quebec by opposing help for [company], [company], and [industry]. They were bad for Quebec's economy! They must change and support Quebec more in the future.”

Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2
“The budget didn't mention Trump's tariff increase. Those tariffs hurt Quebec the most. We want the government to subsidize wages. What do you want to do about it?”
