Mr. Speaker, Quebec City once again reigns as the hockey champion of Quebec, Canada and a good portion of the northern United States.
Congratulations to the Quebec Remparts, who beat all expectations to win the Memorial Cup on Sunday with a final score of 5-0. The “red devils” finished out the season at the top of their league, after dominating in Quebec.
Well done to the organization and the whole team. As MP for Beloeil—Chambly, I would like to give a special shout-out to my two favourite players: Nathan Gaucher from Richelieu and Mikael Huchette from Beloeil. Their hard work secured them a string of victories and is a source of pride and inspiration for the entire region. I also want to congratulate Patrick Roy, who, after more than 500 wins and two Memorial Cups, can leave the Remparts bench with his head held high if he so wishes. Quebec loves to see Patrick Roy holding up a cup.
Sooner or later, everyone will have to acknowledge the truth: The best junior hockey in North America, nay, the world, is currently being played in the arenas that host our Quebec league.
Congratulations to the Remparts, the team from our nation's only capital!

Mr. Speaker, I am appealing to the Prime Minister's sense of statesmanship.
Yesterday, his hand-picked special rapporteur had to admit to a parliamentary committee that his report contradicts the testimony of a parliamentarian who was the victim of Chinese interference and intimidation. The best excuse he could come up with was that he had drafted the report based on what he knew at the time.
He also had to admit that this means his report is incomplete. This is a report that is critical to keeping this country's citizens and parliamentarians safe, yet the author admits that it is incomplete. The House has stated several times that, worse yet, this report is potentially biased.
Will the Prime Minister agree to end Mr. Johnston's mandate?

Mr. Speaker, I refuse to see in secret what should be seen by everyone. What I am proposing to the Prime Minister is a type of truce.
If Parliament would appoint an independent commissioner who would decide what should or should not be public, we could move on to other things.
Otherwise, we will have to ask and keep asking repeatedly how the Prime Minister can retain a rapporteur who is his friend and who admitted that his report, which was crucial to the security of his nation and mine, is incomplete and biased. He admitted that he did not speak to the Chief Electoral Officer or the Chinese nationals he is responsible for—

Mr. Speaker, while the Prime Minister does more to protect Liberal government secrets and the Trudeau Foundation, he is not protecting the people with family still living under the Chinese regime, being oppressed by China as an intimidation tactic. These people have the right to security on Canadian and Quebec soil. He is not protecting them.
This morning, representatives from Taiwan, the Uyghur Autonomous Region, Hong Kong, Tibet and the Solomon Islands asked the Prime Minister for a public inquiry.
Will the Prime Minister act like a head of state and allow this public inquiry?

Mr. Speaker, it is not a diaspora, these people have been or are being conquered. I propose that he place the very dangerous file for Canada, democracy, the Liberal Party and the Prime Minister himself in the hands of a true independent commissioner.
I refuse to be part of any manoeuver that will keep his secret, that will not make available to the entire population all possible information, that will make those who have a right to security in Canada and Quebec fearful and unsafe, that abandons entire peoples to Beijing's oppression and that does not protect democracy in Quebec and in Canada.
Will the Prime Minister accept my proposal?
