MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

Yves Perron

Perron often focuses on how national policies impact his own riding and Quebec generally. He's quick to call out the government for ignoring Quebec's needs or provincial jurisdiction. While he has some substantive policy positions like banning oil subsidies and taxing web giants, many of his comments involve local shoutouts, like praising a restaurant that won an award in his riding.

Government Orders

Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

“I'm angry Quebec doesn't get more federal money. I think Quebec should get more money for two things: the carbon tax and asylum seekers. I think Quebec is owed a lot of money for those two things. I don't want to hurt Canada. But I do want Quebec to keep getting more money from Canada. I'm building towards Quebec separating. If Quebec separates it won't get any more money from Canada. Until then I demand more money from Canada.”

“I'm going to talk a lot but not say much. I will repeat many things my party already said. Gas prices are high and that's bad. I don't like oil companies. The government should take money from other places and spend it on different things I want. I want the government to talk to my party more.”

“The government's economic update only extends EI eligibility until 2028. That's not enough. The spring gap is a permanent problem. I want a big, permanent EI reform. Do you agree with me?”

Government Orders

Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act

“I'm worried that the government might start paying too much attention to the economy when regulating pesticides, instead of just thinking about health. The PMRA is really slow at approving emergency products. By the time they get around to it, the crisis has usually passed for the farmer. I want my colleague to make me feel better about this, because it could be a problem for public health.”

Government Orders

Canadian Space Launch Act

“I'm worried the government keeps passing laws that let it ignore other laws. It did that with Bill C-5, Bill C-15, the high-speed rail project... This bill does it again for space launch decisions. I think laws should protect people.”

Strong and Free Elections Act

“Public funding is important. We already have it when donors get a tax refund. I want to change the formula. Lower the donation limit. Only influential people can donate a lot and that's bad.”
