“Mr. Speaker, according to the CFIB, four in 10 businesses say that economic uncertainty, and especially political uncertainty, is discouraging investment in our country.”
“Mr. Speaker, according to the the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, or CFIB, Canadian SMEs and entrepreneurs are still being overlooked by the Liberal government. Businesses in Beauce do not need empty promises. They need a government that stands up for them. Liberal policies have been dragging us down for 10 years.”
“Mr. Speaker, last week, I mentioned that a company from back home, Garaga, had provided the government with overwhelming evidence that garage doors imported from China contained harmful toxic substances that are banned in Canada. Why, despite these warnings, has the Minister of Health not done anything about this yet?”
“That is insane. Why? What is on this land that is costing us $200 million? There is a 25-foot-by-35-foot concrete pad, two sea cans and a gravel road. I could build a dozen just like it with pleasure. I could do that, no problem. The time will come when the Liberals will have to explain themselves to taxpayers. This is insane.”
“His conclusion is that this is a “modest” contribution. The Liberals are spending $13 billion on a modest contribution; meanwhile, young families are unable to get on the property ladder and young people are desperately searching for affordable housing. Canadians do not want announcements; they want more homes. They want construction.”
“Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with my esteemed colleague from Richmond Hill South . I rise today not to engage in petty politics, but to talk about something very simple that everyone in our regions understands well, except the Liberals, of course: respect for hard‑earned money. Back home in Beauce, money does not grow on trees.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have some questions about the budget. On page 96, it mentions the importance of temporary foreign workers in certain rural areas. I come from a rural area where the unemployment rate is the lowest in Canada, at less than 3%. The Conservatives have proposed renewing all temporary foreign worker permits in regions where the unemployment rate is below 5%. This is essential to our region. I see this in the budget, and I would like to get some details on my colleague's proposal.”
“Mr. Speaker, the only security the Liberals care about is Brookfield's financial security. It gets worse. The Liberal Party refuses to convene the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. It has been blocking the work for four weeks because it does not want to hear from victims of motor vehicle accidents. It is appalling. It is embarrassing. It shows a total lack of respect for the families who are waiting for answers. Will the committee chair, the member for Vaudreuil , stand up and reconvene the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, yes or no?”
“Mr. Speaker, members of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities have learned that the Liberal Party is encouraging the Driver Inc. scam. Canada Post is awarding contracts to drivers who have not even been trained. It is unbelievable. It is shameful. How can this government condone practices that jeopardize road safety and the lives of Canadian families? This has to stop immediately. Will the Minister of Transport intervene in this matter, yes or no?”
“Mr. Speaker, it is with respect that I pay tribute to Normand Lapointe, who passed away on October 22. Mr. Lapointe was the member for Beauce from 1980 to 1984. Here in the House of Commons, he was a committed MP, a bridge between workers and entrepreneurs and the voice of a proud, creative, and entrepreneurial region. In my early days in politics, Mr. Lapointe personally offered me extraordinary support. Thanks to his generous support and advice, I found the confidence to move forward. I will always be grateful to him. A community builder, a proud resident of Beauce, a man of great wisdom and a unifier, he believed in practical solutions, dialogue and individual dignity. To Guylaine, Marlène and Vicky, and his family, friends and all those he inspired, I offer my sincere condolences. I thank Mr.”
“The Conservatives will continue to stand up for families, workers, businesses and taxpayers. We will stand firm against this irresponsible, spendthrift government.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has presented a red ink budget, a “generational credit card” budget. It is spending money hand over fist, and the taxpayers of today and tomorrow are the ones who will have to pay the price. For the Liberals, one plus one always equals 10. Even Fitch Ratings, which assesses Canada's credit rating, is sounding the alarm. It is warning that the Liberals never stick to their own budget limits and that this is worsening the state of our public finances. Even the Parliamentary Budget Officer is against this budget. He said that the government has basically dropped its commitment to reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio. There is a reason why they want to get rid of him. This Prime Minister is offering us a credit card with no limit, but he is mortgaging our children's future and even our grandchildren's future.”
“Mr. Speaker, I think we are entitled to be a little nervous. For the Liberals, one plus one equals 10. That leaves us feeling a little on edge. The Liberals are presenting us with a record deficit. We were expecting $42 billion, and it is going to be a lot worse. This government is spending recklessly and has lost all touch with reality. It is completely disconnected. Every dollar that the Liberals spend comes directly out of the pockets of the people of Beauce. Why not introduce an affordable budget so that the people of Beauce can have an affordable life?”
“Mr. Speaker, every dollar the Liberals spend comes directly out of the pockets of Canadians in the form of higher taxes and inflation. With the record-setting deficit in this budget, the Liberal government is mortgaging our children's future. That is unacceptable. With the record-setting deficit in this budget, the government is shattering our children's dreams. That is unacceptable. The Liberals are engineering a costly election with a costly budget. Why not put forward an affordable budget so Canadians can have an affordable life?”
“Mr. Speaker, the forestry sector is being hit with 45% U.S. tariffs. In Chaudière-Appalaches, the forestry sector represents $781 million in employment earnings. The big banker was supposed to figure it all out. It now costs Europeans less to ship wood from Germany across the Atlantic than it does for us to ship it from Saint-Théophile, in Beauce, across the border. What a great negotiator. Well done. Will the Prime Minister defend forestry workers, yes or no?”
“Mr. Speaker, the forestry sector is under attack with U.S. tariffs of 45%. The Liberal government's failed negotiations with the Americans are putting thousands of Canadian forestry jobs at risk. In Chaudière-Appalaches, more than 8,000 workers are directly threatened. Have trucks full of lumber ever come out of downtown Montreal? No, lumber comes from rural areas. My question is simple: Will the Liberal government finally stop favouring big cities and start looking after the regions?”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague for his very relevant question. When something is given, something has to be received in return. That is the basis of any agreement, regardless of the field. I have been here for seven months, and I see that the government is only giving. Take, for example, the tariffs imposed by the Americans. Their tariffs are crushing us from all sides. What do we get in return? The answer is absolutely nothing. In this agreement with the United Kingdom, what do we get in return? The answer is nothing. We need only think of the pork or cheese that we want to export. That is an excellent question. If Canada gives something, then Canadians have to be able to get something in return.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my esteemed colleague from Shefford. Her riding is also located in a very beautiful region of Quebec. Today, we are talking about accession with Bill C‑13 . It is common knowledge that the Conservative Party is a strong advocate for supply management, since it is very important. I would like to reassure my colleague. At the Standing Committee on International Trade, we are closely monitoring the negotiation of trade agreements, and we will be there to negotiate the best possible agreement for Canada, for Quebec and for regions like her riding.”
“Mr. Speaker, I agree that the Lower Laurentians is a very beautiful region. It is not quite as beautiful as Beauce, but it is great. My colleague and I serve on the same committee, and we want agreements to be signed with other countries. I do think that is an excellent idea. However, when Canada signs an agreement, it has to be win-win. We are already working on a file with the United Kingdom, CETA, where non-tariff barriers are hurting our farmers. There are plenty of existing agreements that need to be improved before we start signing and approving agreements with other countries.”
“Bill C‑13 could have been an opportunity to do just that and make fair trade a reality, not a slogan. Common-sense Conservatives will continue to support opening new markets for Canada. We will also continue to hold the government to account for its failures. Our farmers and producers deserve much better.”
“Common-sense Conservatives believe in trade that works for Canadians. We believe in trade that opens doors, not trade that ties our hands. We are in favour of expanding markets for Canadian products, but we will not give the government a free pass. We are going to scrutinize this bill carefully and call out every failure to get a win for our country, our farmers and our families. Trade agreements have to produce concrete results for the people who feed Canadians, not just for the bureaucrats in Ottawa or the diplomats in London. In closing, farmers in Beauce and all over rural Canada get up early in the morning to feed our families and our children. They are not asking us for special treatment. They are simply asking for fairness, transparency and a government that stands up for them.”
“to join without getting something in return for Canadian producers. As I said, it has to be a two-way street. This is not a negotiating strategy, it is weakness. In order for us to give our approval, the government will need to assure us that it will have the courage to stand up to the British government. If the U.K. wants to reap the benefits of Bill C‑13, then Canada must demand fair access based on science for products such as our beef and pork. We must demand reciprocity. Given the close ties between the Prime Minister of Canada and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, this should have been a perfect opportunity to stand up for our producers. However, once again, the Liberal government has failed. It had leverage, it had opportunity, but it decided to give the U.K. the advantage without getting anything in return.”
“Let us take the example of a supply-managed product such as cheese. At the grocery store, Canadian customers will see a wide range of European cheeses on the shelves. I challenge my colleagues to go to the U.K. and look for Canadian cheeses on supermarket shelves there. They will not find any. Our farmers are not bargaining chips. Now, after years of inaction, the Liberal government is asking the House to approve the accession of the United Kingdom to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP, via Bill C-13 . This is one of the largest multilateral trade agreements in the world. Conservatives are in favour of expanding markets for Canadian products. We recognize the value of a trade system based on clear rules. However, we cannot ignore the facts and allow the U.K.”
“Unfortunately, there are farming families, rural communities and livelihoods at stake. Speaking of agriculture, I would like to underscore another fundamental issue: the protection of supply management. Beauce has many dairy and agricultural farms. Hard-working men and women have built their businesses thanks to the Canadian supply management system and their own tireless efforts. The system safeguards the stability, quality and security of Canada's food supply. Conservatives will continue to defend it vigorously. Making trade fair and a two-way street also means defending our supply-managed sectors and not sacrificing them for political trade-offs on the global stage. When Canada is negotiating a trade agreement, it must ensure that our dairy, poultry and egg farmers are fully protected.”
“The Liberal government is still allowing it to happen. The Liberal government has had 10 years to redress that imbalance, 10 years to defend our farmers and secure a real British market for our premium beef and pork, but it has not done so. There is no progress, no forceful advocacy, no tangible victory for our producers. Meanwhile, our farmers in regions like Beauce are struggling to remain competitive. Our beef and pork producers raise the finest-quality livestock that is renowned around the world. They are proud, and they deserve a government that is equally proud to fight for them. (1220) These sectors are a vital part of Beauce's economy. They create good jobs, support our local businesses, keep our villages alive, and put food on the table for our families. Unjust market barriers are not just numbers on a chart.”
“The consequences for our pork and beef producers are devastating. I would like to quote some figures from the Library of Parliament. In 2003, U.K. beef exports to Canada totalled $16.6 million. This figure rose to $42 million in 2024 and reached $28 million in the first half of 2025 alone. In contrast, Canadian beef exports to the United Kingdom totalled $85,000 in 2023 and just $25,000 in 2024. So far in 2025, Canada has not exported any beef to the U.K. It is the same story with pork. U.K. pork exports to Canada totalled $5.6 billion in 2023, $9.1 billion in 2024, and $3.6 million in the first half of 2025. In contrast, Canada did not export any pork to the U.K. in 2023. Our pork exports totalled $75,000 in 2024 and dropped to a paltry level in 2025. This is not fair trade. It is one-way trade.”
“The United Kingdom refuses to recognize the use of carcass washing solutions in Canadian abattoirs, even though this practice is approved by international scientific authorities and has been used safely for decades. The United Kingdom's tactic is to impose non-tariff trade barriers, despite the use of these solutions being approved and strictly regulated by Health Canada and by the World Organisation for Animal Health. These objections have nothing to do with food security and have no basis in science. They are all about protectionism pure and simple. Again, these are non-tariff trade barriers designed not to protect consumers, but to keep Canadian products off British shelves. In this case, the potential pork exports being blocked by these non-tariff barriers amount to some $500 million.”
“Just look at the fiasco, the abject failure, of our current relationship with the United States. Under the Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement, Canadian farmers have not been treated fairly by the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom continues to impose non-tariff barriers that are not based on scientific data and that in practice have closed their market to our pork and beef. Beauce is a farming region. Canada's finest producers of beef and pork can be found right here, on our land and our neighbours' land. The United Kingdom has long locked these products out of its market, without the government taking any action to rectify the situation.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to rise as the member for Beauce to speak to Bill C‑13 on the accession of the United Kingdom to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP. In essence, this bill is about trade. Trade is at the very soul of Canada and the Beauce region. We have always been and will always be a region and a country of entrepreneurs. Common-sense Conservatives have always supported free trade. We know that when Canadian workers, farmers and producers can compete on equal terms, they can rival anyone in the world. We also know that free trade has to be fair. It is a two-way street. Unfortunately, under this Liberal government, our trade relations have not been fair, especially for our farmers and Canadian businesses.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is always the same thing with the Liberals. They keep paying lip service without ever doing anything about the Driver Inc. issue. Canadians, including the people of Beauce, are worried and want the government to ensure that our roads are safe. We are talking about human lives here. It is unacceptable. It is high time the Liberals stand up, show some backbone and take responsibility. My question for the Minister of Public Safety is this: What is the value of a human life?”
“Mr. Speaker, some parts of Canada are experiencing very high unemployment. We can agree with that. As our proposal says, regions where unemployment is below 5.5% need foreign workers. That is our proposal, and ours is the best one.”
“Mr. Speaker, they did nothing for 10 years. The answer to my colleague's question is as simple as that. By anyone's standards, the borders are porous. We have all seen that. Outside those doors, we can all see that one plus one equals two. Only the Liberal government cannot see it. Drugs get through the borders. There are not enough officers. They need support. Announcements have been made, but there are none on the ground. As we said earlier, it is important to have those on-the-ground connections and be close to the people. That right there is one of the Liberal government's big problems.”
“Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's question. He is one of my most pleasant colleagues here. I appreciate him. As to his question, I was not in the House at the time. However, I am not sure about this, but I believe he was here and supported a number of the Liberal government's decisions, some of which had to do with Roxham Road. I am surprised that he is talking to me about it, given that he supported most of the Liberal government's proposals when he was in the House. I am a little disappointed.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not know if my colleague is familiar with the business world, but it has been left to its own devices. When it comes to the threshold that was approved without consulting the provinces, there is a difference between illegal immigrants and the foreign workers who are needed in our regions, especially those where the unemployment rate is extremely low—that is, less than 5.5%—as the Conservative Party has mentioned. I would like to remind my colleague that it is essential to consult the provinces.”
“It also needs to take integration, social cohesion and shared values into account. That is what we, as Conservatives, promise to do.”
“It does not align immigration with actual economic needs. It overlooks rural and industrial regions. It does not support businesses, families or local growth. Another essential element is that the provinces have been excluded from the planning. There is no coordination, no serious dialogue. However, they are the ones that must provide education, health care and housing services. As a result, schools are overwhelmed, hospitals are overflowing and there is not enough housing. Ottawa makes all the decisions but then always blames everybody else. The Conservative Party is proposing a different path, an approach based on collaboration, listening, and shared responsibility. Provinces and municipalities have to have a say, because they are close to the reality and know their limitations. Immigration cannot be simply a matter of quotas.”
“Meanwhile, the Liberals are inflating immigration thresholds without taking the reality on the ground into account. The housing crisis is getting worse. Inflation is driving up housing prices. Millions of Canadians, including people in Beauce, are struggling to find housing. Rents are skyrocketing. Mortgages are drifting out of reach. There is no coordination with cities or provinces to adapt infrastructure, hospitals, schools or housing. That is irresponsible. In many regions, including Beauce, businesses are desperately looking for skilled workers. The current federal system is failing employers. They have to navigate a complicated and lengthy bureaucratic maze while highly skilled foreign workers wait in limbo. Bill C‑12 is a step in the right direction, but it does not solve anything.”
“This is a serious flaw in an already fragile system. Canadians deserve better. They deserve a government that protects them, takes action and stands up for the integrity of our country. The safety of Canadians must always come first. We have seen the consequences when that is not the case: exploitation, fraud, crime. A responsible government does not throw open its doors without ensuring that those who enter share our values, respect our laws and contribute to our society. Demanding rigour does not mean one is against immigration. We support a system that is fair, orderly and respected. The Conservative Party believes that we can welcome people with compassion, but also with caution and judiciousness. It is a matter of respect for Canadians and for newcomers.”
“A responsible government must be able to rigorously defend these rights, while ensuring social peace and the rule of law. This is how Canada will maintain its status as a free and orderly society. A poorly monitored border is an open door to illegal activities such as arms and drug trafficking or illegal immigration. Our border officers do an excellent job, but they simply lack resources. Again, the government is only making announcements. It is not taking action. It is important to remember that some regions, like Beauce, share a direct border with the United States, in my case, with the state of Maine. This geographic reality demands greater vigilance. Bill C-12 does not propose any measures to better protect these sensitive areas. It completely ignores the unique challenges specific to border regions.”
“Too often, individuals accused of serious crimes are being released without sufficient safeguards, which endangers the public and undermines confidence in our justice system. (1650) The Liberal government has failed to take decisive action on this issue, favouring measures that prioritize the rights of alleged offenders over the safety of victims and citizens. It is essential that Bill C-12 or any other reform include more rigorous mechanisms for denying bail to individuals who pose a real risk to society. We must strengthen the role of judges so that they have the tools they need to protect Canadians, taking into account not only the presumption of innocence, but also the paramount importance of public safety. Furthermore, protecting the fundamental rights of Canadians must remain an unwavering priority in any legislative reform.”
“Drug traffickers, arms smugglers and groups associated with cartels are taking advantage of these government loopholes. As we said earlier, the border is really porous. Our borders have become a vulnerable point. Canada needs a clear plan, well-monitored borders and rigorous screening at entry and exit points. Our border officers and police officers need more support. Most importantly, there needs to be the political will to act. Bill C‑12 is weak on crime, weak on gangs and too weak to address what is actually happening on the ground. Again, I am talking about the reality on the ground. Beyond immigration, another crucial issue for the safety of Canadians is the reform of the bail system.”
“Meanwhile, the consequences are very real: We have a housing shortage, skyrocketing rents and overburdened public services. This is not ideology; it is a simple mathematical reality. When hundreds of thousands of people arrive without a plan to accommodate them and without enough housing, rents go up. It is simple math. That is fundamental. It is simple. Everyone saw it. Bill C-12 claims to strengthen the security and integrity of the system, but once again, it is superficial. There need to be more resources, fewer announcements and some decisive action. The government needs to implement effective mechanisms to deport criminals and improve border surveillance. While the government dwells on processes, criminals are getting organized.”
“My colleague will be pleased to hear me say that Roxham Road became the symbol of this loss of control. It was wide open. Tens of thousands of people entered Canada illegally in plain sight. Everyone saw that. There was no security and no proper screening. What did the government do? It did absolutely nothing. It allowed things to get worse, weakening our immigration system and eroding public trust. Let us be clear, there is a difference between legitimate refugees fleeing war and persecution and illegal migrants circumventing the law. The situation is also very different when it comes to economic workers, who are desperately needed in certain regions of Canada. The Liberal government created and maintained this confusion.”
“Paying attention to the reality on the ground should be a priority for everyone, but especially this Liberal government. For years now, the Liberals have been promising to reform the immigration system. During these years, the system has been crumbling, backlogs have been piling up, processes have gotten increasingly complex and the provinces have been left to fend for themselves to deal with the consequences of the decisions made by the Liberals in Ottawa. While the government keeps coming out with more and more announcements and slogans, communities are feeling the direct pressure of these poorly planned policies. Canadians, the people of Beauce, families and business owners are all saying the same thing: The Liberal government has lost control.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to be representing the people of Beauce today once again in the House. Today, we are debating a bill that goes to the very heart of our country: our ability to welcome, integrate and protect those who choose to come to Canada. The Liberal government's Bill C‑12 is an improvement over Bill C‑2 . We must acknowledge this. Bill C‑12 aims to modernize the immigration system. It claims to make the process more transparent and to improve the planning of the long-term immigration levels in order to meet Canada's economic needs. In reality, this bill lacks clear direction. It is weak and has lax security measures. Most importantly, it is disconnected from the reality on the ground. We need to listen to Canadians.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have been promising that their deficits will stimulate investment for 10 years, and what do we have to show for it? The lowest growth in the G7, a more than 10% drop in investment and a declining economy. Every dollar spent by the Prime Minister comes directly out of the pockets of Canadians. The people of Beauce deserve much better. After doubling the debt, believe it or not, the Liberals are now gearing up to double the deficit. On November 4, will the Prime Minister keep his promise that the deficit will not exceed the projected $42 billion?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister had promised to resolve the issue of U.S. tariffs by July 21. Today, not only did he fail to keep his promise, but the situation is getting worse. On October 14, Canadian softwood lumber will be hit with another tariff increase, bringing the total duty to 45%. In Beauce and across the country, our market is struggling. Our businesses are suffering while the government sits on its hands. The Prime Minister himself said that he would score us a big win, but he just keeps losing. Will the Prime Minister keep his promise to get all U.S. tariffs removed?”
“Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of Liberal governance and out-of-control spending, the cost of living is skyrocketing. Our seniors are now skipping a meal a day in order to be able to afford their rent. The Prime Minister broke his promise. He is spending more and delivering fewer results. Every month, the Moisson Beauce food bank receives 6,000 requests for assistance from people and, unfortunately, 37% of them are children. That does not make any sense. Will this Prime Minister stop attacking Canadian families and address the real problems that the Liberals themselves created?”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to repeat the question I asked on Friday because, obviously, I did not get an answer. The Liberal government has announced it is building 4,000 new housing units at a cost of $13 billion. That is $3.2 million per home. Are the walls made of gold? With $3.2 million, people in Beauce could build 15 homes, not one. With $13 billion, people in Beauce could build 60,000 homes, not 4,000. Even in Canada's big cities, $13 billion would pay for 20,000 new homes, not 4,000. The numbers do not add up. Why is it always, always, always more expensive with the Liberals?”
“Mr. Speaker, speaking of out-of-control spending, it gets worse. The Liberal government announced it is building 4,000 new housing units at a cost of $13 billion. I must be dreaming, because that is $3.2 million a unit. Something is not adding up. Give the contracts to the people of Beauce. In Beauce, with $3.2 million, they can build 15 units, not one. In Beauce, with $13 billion, they would not build 4,000 housing units, they would build 60,000. Can anyone explain to me why, with the Liberals, it is going to be 15 times more expensive?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is still hurting families. On July 15, the Liberals quietly announced that the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, or CMHC, premiums would go up by 3%. Instead of reducing the premiums like we suggested, they increased them. That means that the cost of housing per Canadian family will increase by $500. That is unacceptable. When will this government think about Canadian families instead of constantly causing inflation?”
“Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague from Kapuskasing—Timmins—Mushkegowuk. In his wonderful speech, he spoke about agriculture in his region. This week, we have heard a lot about food inflation and the rising cost of housing. When it comes to agriculture, I would like to ask my colleague what he thinks about improving our food sovereignty in Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are back again with a new housing bureaucracy that basically causes inflation and solves absolutely nothing. The Prime Minister promised Canadians that he would double housing construction and committed to building 500,000 homes a year. What is he actually doing? He is proposing a new bureaucratic machine that, in reality, will only provide for the construction of 4,000 new homes. Why is this government coming back to us once again with more bureaucracy instead of focusing on building more housing?”
“Mr. Speaker, more of the empty replies that we keep hearing. I have been here for four weeks. People elected us to ask the Liberals questions and to make them accountable to the people of Beauce. The Liberals are not answering us. They are thumbing their noses at us. It is disrespectful. We are trying to be polite, rigorous, respectful. We always get the same old song from them, the same refrain. It is disappointing. The price of housing keeps rising. Building more homes is the Minister of Housing 's job. Let me ask a simple question. Can the housing minister do his job or not?”
“Mr. Speaker, Radio-Canada has now documented the fact that housing prices in the Chaudière-Appalaches region have skyrocketed by 46% since 2021. That is insane. I asked the housing minister about his department's biggest program. He could not even answer me. He does not even know about it. That is both disappointing and concerning. I am new here, but does the housing minister actually deal with housing?”
“She is proud, determined and deeply compassionate. I congratulate Emmy for all she has accomplished. Beauce is truly proud of her.”
