Mr. Speaker, I am a little shocked to see the use of yet another gag order in the House. The truth is, this principle does not respect the spirit of the Constitution. Here is another thing that does not respect the spirit of the Constitution: infringing on provincial jurisdictions. Employment falls under provincial jurisdiction. Has my colleague done anything to ensure that this will be respected? Do any of the amendments tabled by the Conservatives seek to defend provincial jurisdictions? This is a new card that the Conservatives are playing. We have been hearing about it since yesterday. I am curious to hear more about it today.

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of this Liberal government, life is more expensive and Quebeckers are paying the price. The cost of housing has doubled. The lineups at food banks are longer than ever. While Quebeckers struggle to put food on the table because of his incompetence, the Prime Minister insists on interfering in provincial jurisdictions. Clearly this government is not worth the cost. Will this Prime Minister steer clear of provincial jurisdictions and allow Quebec to repair the damage?

Mr. Speaker, we have only to think of ArriveCAN, the borders, passports, EI, the deficit. The list is a long one. Everything is broken. After eight years, the Prime Minister has failed on every level. Everything the Prime Minister touches fails, and now he is adding insult to injury by encroaching on Quebec's jurisdictions. Can the Prime Minister please mind his own business and let Quebec make its own decisions?
