Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, while thesays he is disappointed by Michael Rousseau's unilingual English message, the federal government has spent more than $2.4 billion to strengthen English in Quebec since 1995. Billions of dollars have been spent to anglicize Quebec in the past 30 years, and this continues every year. We do not need to look any further to understand how Michael Rousseau has [more]
Mr. Speaker, we are celebrating Francophonie Month together. Prime Minister When I say “we are celebrating”, that does not include the, the only one in ages who does not have a francophone speech writer. It also excludes Michael Rousseau, the CEO of Air Canada, who is unable to say more than a few words in French. On the other hand, it includes more than 380 million speakers across five [more]
Mr. Speaker, once again, with this motion, the Conservatives are prioritizing oil and Ontario's auto industry above all else, at the expense of Quebec. They are even proposing to eliminate EV subsidies and to lower environmental standards to please Mr. Trump. Does my colleague think such a motion will be welcome in Quebec?
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives are correct in saying that the Liberals do not have a plan to reduce American tariffs, but what they are proposing is not a plan either.

Mr. Speaker, is the Conservative motion not just a move to benefit Ontario's auto industry and put Quebec at a disadvantage by ending EV purchase rebates, among other things?

If incentives do not work, then why are they good for oil but not for electricity? Basically, the Conservative motion is really all about helping [more]
That's excellent. What kind of governance adaptation between organizations like the Canadian Institutes of Health Research or the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council would reduce fragmentation and improve the traceability of research funding decisions?
Thank you. Dr. Michaud, how do you ensure that francophone teams have equitable access to platforms, tests and assessments? I'm thinking in particular of French-language services or committee membership.
Thank you. My next question is for you, Mr. Annan—
Ms. Morin, if we want to go beyond accounting audits and really judge the public interest of investments, which indicator of societal impact, including on francophone communities, should be standardized and published annually, in your opinion?
Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for being here. Mr. Tessari L'Allié, in light of the discussions the committee has had on the lack of independent audit bodies for scientific systems, what model of an independent mechanism do you recommend for assessing the safety and societal impact of AI systems? How can we avoid its politicization?
