Madam Speaker, I believe the member is sincere when she talks about environmental values and protecting the environment. However, I still see a contradiction. I would not wish to praise the current government's policies on climate change, far from it, because they fall short. Protecting the environment means investing substantially to counter the effects of climate change. I believe this value is completely contrary to what her party is advocating, which is to continue to contribute to the growth of the oil and gas sector. Could the member explain how it is possible to protect the environment while at the same time continuing to build on an energy source that is no longer—

Madam Speaker, this issue is extremely important. This was another wasted opportunity. However, it may still be possible. It took 50 years to address this problem and raise the number of weeks from 15 to 26. As every study shows, this is not enough. People who are gravely ill are being left without enough protection to recover in dignity.

Madam Speaker, the only thing Ottawa took away from the pandemic is debt. The budget passes that debt on to workers. Ottawa expects to collect an extra $24 billion in workers' EI premiums. However, the government is not putting that money towards EI reform. It is taking workers' money and using it to pay off $24 billion in pandemic debt. Why not use workers' money to protect them rather than paying off pandemic debt at their expense?

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. This bill still raises some serious concerns. The Bloc Québécois is prepared to support it so that we can examine and improve it in committee. In 2021, in Canada alone, one in four businesses reported being the victim of a cyber-attack. We are the G7 country that has done the least in this regard. We spent $80 million over four years for research and development, which is not much. Canada is lagging behind in that department. Cyber-attacks on businesses can be sudden and unexpected, and not every business has the money to invest in cybersecurity or protection mechanisms. What will this bill actually do to help with and improve cybersecurity?
