Mr. Speaker, we are in for a particularly spectacular winter. Record-setting temperatures and impressive snowfalls are expected, which make for perfect conditions for winter sports and attractions. One thing is certain, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord will be ready. On December 1, along with mayors from various municipalities, I had the opportunity to participate in the launch of the winter tourist season in the Lower Saguenay. Thrill seekers can get their adrenaline fix skiing down Mont Édouard, with its 450-metre vertical drop. Those looking to take in the sights can enjoy hundreds of kilometres of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails, complete with breathtaking scenery. People searching for a unique experience should try their hand at ice fishing on the Saguenay. It will never disappoint. I have no doubt that everyone will find the perfect way to enjoy our beautiful Canadian winter while practising a sport they love. I invite everyone to visit our magnificent region. I wish everyone a wonderful winter, and I hope to see my colleagues in my neck of the woods.

  • Re: Bill C-21 
Mr. Speaker, a young man who was caught with a prohibited weapon loaded with 72 rounds of ammunition managed to avoid prison thanks to a Liberal law, which of course was supported by the Bloc Québécois and the NDP. There is no longer a minimum sentence for this type of crime in Canada. On the one hand, the government lets criminals roam free and, on the other hand, it wants to penalize honest gun owners by passing Bill C‑21. Talk about a double standard. Will the Liberals go after the real criminals and leave hunters alone?
