Quote of the Day

Independent MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay (Saint-Hyacinthe--Bagot, Que.):

    "Mr. Speaker, Donald Trump is imposing tariffs on countries that are not doing enough to address forced labour in their imports. Although that is an excuse, the fact remains that Canada is like a sieve; it has hardly made any seizures at the border.

    Last fall, I introduced Bill C?251, which would require importers to prove that products from certain regions are not made with forced labour or child labour.

    Now that the Prime Minister is finally saying he wants to do more to address forced labour, will he get my bill passed at all stages?"


On Tuesday, Conservatives began Question Period by pressing the government on its high-speed rail project, which they argued will affect farmland in Quebec. They raised concerns that the government is moving forward without adequately consulting farmers.

Conservatives then continued to question the government on the economy, government policies and spending, and inflation.

They also pressed the government on the upcoming CUSMA review. Conservatives noted that some sectors are struggling under current U.S. tariffs and called on the government to defend the steel industry.

Conservatives further questioned the government on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, calling for it to be cancelled while many young Canadians are unable to find work.

They also questioned the government on what they described as an "open borders" policy that has allegedly allowed 700 IRGC-linked individuals into Canada.

Conservatives additionally pressed the government on the closure of the federal organic research station in Swift Current.

Bloc MPs continued to criticize the government for eliminating the digital services tax and reversing course on levies payable by streaming platforms. They questioned what the government is doing to protect francophone culture.

They also pressed the government on its climate change record and called for no new pipelines to be approved.

Liberal MPs sought updates on funding for 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations, Bill C-8, An Act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other Acts, and the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit.

Independent MP Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay (Saint-Hyacinthe--Bagot, Que.) pressed the government to support his private member's bill, Bill C-251, An Act to amend the Customs Act and the Customs Tariff (forced labour and child labour), which seeks to require importers to prove that products from certain regions are not made with forced labour or child labour.

Green MPs criticized Division 8 of Bill C-30, Spring Economic Update 2026 Implementation Act, arguing that it would roll back health and environmental protections related to pesticide regulation.
