Mr. Speaker, it is always good to see you in the chair. Thank you for that. I also want to thank the hon. chief government whip for her speech and her open-mindedness on this issue. Earlier, the member for Argenteuil—La Petite-Nation mentioned the importance of having the choice to publish papers in either language, French or English. The problem is that there are very few scientific publications in French, and the few that exist disappear one after the other. I would like to ask the hon. whip if the continuously decreasing number of French-language scientific publications is cause for concern in her view. Should the government try to address this?

  • Re: Bill C-33 
Madam Speaker, obviously, the Bloc Québécois members support Bill C‑33, and we want it to go to committee so it can be properly studied. Obviously, we feel it is taking a long time. This summer will mark 10 years since the Lac-Mégantic tragedy. Trains are getting longer and heavier. This is a self-regulating industry that is primarily concerned with serving its shareholders and turning a profit. That takes precedence over public safety and the public good, which are the government's responsibility. We are asking that this be corrected. Bill C‑33 does this in part; it is a step in the right direction. Is it too little too late? Perhaps. I want to reiterate that the citizens of Lac-Mégantic are still calling for a public inquiry into what led to this tragedy.
