Mr. Speaker, in its economic statement, the federal government seeks to encroach upon Quebec's jurisdiction over labour. It wants to force interprovincial mobility on workers, especially health care workers. Otherwise, it is cutting health care funding. It forgot one thing, though: Things are done in French in Quebec. For us, the plan means that bilingual workers from Quebec will be able to work elsewhere in Canada, but the workers who come to Quebec from unilingual anglophone provinces will be unilingual English doctors. In Quebec, things are done in French. This cannot work. Instead of undermining quality of care in Quebec, could the federal government just mind its own business?

Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have mastered the art of never letting the facts get in the way of their pretty stories. As for Stellantis, the Conservatives are trying to undermine the 2,500 jobs that will be filled to operate the plant and the 2,300 jobs that will be created to build the plant. How many labour market impact assessments have been approved for Stellantis? The answer is a single agreement, a single position. Those are the facts.
