Mr. Speaker, the Liberals came up with the carbon tax and now the Bloc Québécois is proposing to drastically increase it. The Bloc Québécois claims to stand up for the interests of Quebeckers, but let us be clear, the Bloc wants to take money from Quebeckers and hand it over to the federal government. Voting Bloc is costly. Will the Prime Minister reject the Bloc's request to drastically increase the carbon tax at Quebeckers' expense?

Mr. Speaker, My Voice, My Choice does tremendous work. I would like to acknowledge the work that this organization is doing. The most important, poignant and workable thing about this bill is that, when the representatives of this organization advocated for victims of violent sexual crimes, they asked us to reinstate this registry. They also asked for more autonomy, more dignity and choice regarding their role in the system. This is what this bill will and must do. I think the challenge is clear. We must co-operate and work together in a non-partisan way to get this done before the end of October. I am very comfortable continuing to work with my Bloc Québécois colleagues. I hope I can count on their support.
