Defend supply management

The other end of this axis: Liberalize supply management

Repeats calls to protect supply management with no further breaches and legislate protection.

That is why I believe that there should be no more breaches in supply management and that the system should be protected by legislation. I spent my childhood on a farm so I am all the more concerned about this sector, which just had such a hard year.

Faster fossil phase-down

The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first

Calls for cap on oil and gas production, energy transition and no clean fossil fuels.

For example, it must put a cap on oil and gas production, not increase it by focusing on fossil fuels. There is no such thing as clean oil or coal. The Liberals must stop their greenwashing.

Restrict new oil and gas

The other end of this axis: Expand production and export

Opposes fossil fuel subsidies, pipelines through Quebec, and oil/gas development in marine areas.

This project is dangerous for the environment and would not generate any economic returns for Quebec, because the natural gas only transits through our province.

Higher taxes and public spending

The other end of this axis: Lower taxes and tighter spending

Calls for increased OAS, GIS and health transfers with higher federal share.

moved: That the House: (a) recognize that the elderly were most directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic; (b) recall that too many of the elderly live in a financially precarious position; (c) acknowledge the collective debt that we owe to those who built Quebec and Canada; and (d) ask the government, in the next budget, to increase the Old Age Security benefit by $110 a month for those aged 65 and more. Mr.

Expand public coverage

The other end of this axis: More private delivery

Repeats calls for higher unconditional health transfers to expand provincial systems.

On behalf of myself and the Bloc, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that Canadian health transfers must be increased to 35% right away, no strings attached. The same thing is happening in Quebec, where cases have been rising steadily since 2000.

Public supply and demand controls

The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation

Supports increased public funding for social housing and affordable units.

Quebec is asking for increased funding to deal with social housing so that seniors who want to stay in their homes longer do not have to spend all their money on rent.

Stronger unions and standards

The other end of this axis: More flexibility for employers

Supports extending EI sickness benefits and stronger worker protections.

I am pleased to rise today to speak to this important Bloc Québécois motion: That the House call on the government to increase the special Employment Insurance sickness benefits from 15 weeks to 50 weeks in the upcoming budget in order to support people with serious illnesses, such as cancer.

Prevention and restraint

The other end of this axis: Enforcement and sentencing

Favors rehabilitation over mandatory minimums and preventive approaches.

However, the problem is that the Bloc Québécois believes this is a bad time to abolish mandatory minimums for firearms offences, because many Quebec and Canadian cities are seeing an influx of firearms, due in particular to the Liberal government's failure to implement border controls.

Diversify away from one partner

The other end of this axis: Deeper continental integration

Prioritizes protection of supply management in trade negotiations.

First, the bill amends the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act to include the protection of the supply management system as part of the minister's responsibilities.
