Mr. Speaker, seven years ago, a gunman killed six people and wounded 19 others at the Quebec City mosque just because they were Muslim. This attack sent a shockwave across Quebec and made us all painfully aware that we are not immune to such hateful acts. Justice was served and the gunman ended up in prison, where he belongs, but our society as a whole must now be vigilant to ensure that intolerance never becomes commonplace. In case some people need to hear it again, I want to say that freedom of religion is guaranteed in Quebec and that no one should feel threatened because of their faith. Today, our thoughts are with the victims' families, with all Muslims in Quebec and with all Quebeckers, who will always have to live with the consequences of this traumatic event. We all stand together in saying, “Never again”.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark the 100th anniversary of Montcalm Farm. For the Montcalms, agriculture is a family affair and above all a passion. In 1922, Joseph Montcalm bought a farm in Saint‑Louis‑de‑Gonzague. His son and daughter-in-law, Roch and Corona, then went to live on the dairy farm. Then brothers Maurice, François and Marc joined the business to expand the farm. Now, the cousins are pursuing the tradition of excellence. A fifth generation is being raised and showing interest in agriculture. Their secret ingredient is this: By always being ahead of their time, they have prepared for the future. I am proud to talk about the Quebec agricultural model and, above all, I am proud of the Montcalm family. Human-scale family farms with farmers involved in their communities would not exist without supply management. The Montcalms of 1922 would be proud to see the evolution of the family business and the impressive contribution of their large family both on the farm and throughout our region. Therefore, it is with great joy, but above all with great affection, that I congratulate the Montcalm family.

Mr. Speaker, 32 years ago today, Quebec bore witness to a femicide that left 14 students dead at Polytechnique. Against the background of the 18 femicides this year and the wave of shootings that have shaken Montreal, the lack of progress on gun control since this massacre took place is even more glaring. One Polytechnique survivor, Nathalie Provost, said, “It is a disaster. We are less protected in 2021 than in 1989.” When will the government finally assume its responsibilities on gun control?
