Mr. Speaker, many projects of all sorts in our ridings had to be shelved because of the pandemic. For over two years now, town celebrations, festivals, dances and many other events have had to be postponed or, in most cases, cancelled. Today, I am happy to say that, just as we are now seeing signs of spring, we are also beginning to see signs of a return to normal life. I am also pleased to announce that the Théâtre populaire régional theatre troupe will be putting on a play at the Salle André‑Gagnon in La Pocatière on May 27 and 28. Amateur actors and friends have been waiting for nearly three years to present George Dandin ou le mari confondu, a comedy by Molière. I know many of the actors and so I know that this play will make people smile. I invite everyone to attend to cheer themselves up as the pandemic draws to a close. Let us encourage our artist friends and celebrate our culture.

Mr. Speaker, I am not looking to stir up trouble, given that I am not a member of the Bloc, but the majority of Canadians are starting to return to in-person work after two years of a pandemic. However, certain federal workplaces are still largely shuttered, and Passport Canada is no exception. Visits are by appointment only, but if anyone wants to make an appointment, they had better be ready to spend hours on the phone. Canadians deserve better service. How is it possible that we members can work on site, when that is not the case at a Passport Canada office?
