  • Re: Bill C-47 
Madam Speaker, like the Conservatives, the Bloc Québécois will be voting against Bill C-47, but for different reasons. I hear my Conservative colleagues talk a lot about the carbon tax. They keep coming back to the same points. We in the Bloc Québécois are a bit like that. We keep coming back to the same points, specifically the fact that there is nothing for seniors, nothing for housing, nothing for EI reform. I would like my colleague to comment on that last point. All stakeholders have been calling for this for years, and it is considered an urgent matter. That is how urgent it is, and yet there is nothing in this budget. I think this is long overdue, and it actually looked like it was finally going to happen. Could my colleague share his thoughts?

Madam Speaker, I think it is very important to listen, to be present on the ground if the situation becomes more urgent, to talk to the mayors across our ridings and to be aware of everything that is happening. It is also important to know where the SOPFEU is at with its operations and so on. I think those are very important things, but we also have to stay connected with the people and stakeholders in our region in all of this.
