  • Re: Bill C-11 
Madam Speaker, we talked earlier about Quebec's demands. This is a very important subject. Quebec's demands are extremely important, even Quebec has not communicated them to all the parties and to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage which is studying the bill. We are preparing to vote, under a gag order, on a bill that will have a significant impact on broadcasting in Quebec and on Quebec culture. Quebec is making a legitimate demand. It is asking that Quebec be consulted on all matters relating to francophone broadcasting and culture. How will the government respond to these very legitimate demands from Quebec, even though we are passing Bill C‑11 under a gag order?

Mr. Speaker, there are needs throughout Quebec's health care system. The system is in crisis. The Liberals did not prioritize those needs in their budget. The Liberals prioritized the needs of the Liberals. They have not listened to Quebec's demands. Their main concern is to make sure they stay in power by maintaining their alliance with the NDP. Their priority is insuring a majority, not insuring dental care. Is the government committed to respecting Quebec's unanimous request? I repeat: It is asking for the right to opt out with full compensation.
