Public Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister asked me and my colleague, the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, to get to the bottom of this, and that is what we will do. It is important to know that we are upholding the highest standards of openness, transparency and fiscal accountability.

Government Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, it is important to set the record straight. It is not a contract. It is more of a procurement arrangement. That means there is no financial agreement. It is more of a pre-qualification. Hundreds of suppliers already have the same arrangement. It is a long-standing practice that helps the government save money and time.

Government Services and Procurement  Mr. Speaker, we have just gone through some tough years with the pandemic. Public servants fulfilled their obligations. They helped us to get through it while ensuring that small and medium-sized businesses, workers and families were taken care of. We will continue to work with the public service and deliver on our priorities for Canadians, workers and businesses.

Access to Information  Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's report on the access to information review.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  moved that the bill be concurred in.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  moved that the bill be read the third time and passed.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  moved that the bill be read the second time and referred to committee of the whole.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  Madam Chair, the presentation of this bill is identical to that used during the previous supply period.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  moved that Bill C-36, An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, be now read the first time and printed. (Motion deemed adopted and bill read the first time)

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  moved: That the supplementary estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, be concurred in.

Official Languages  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question and especially for his hard work. We are firmly committed to promoting both of our official languages. With Bill C-13, Treasury Board will play an enhanced role in monitoring and evaluation. For the first time, that will include monitoring federal institutions to ensure that they meet their obligation to take positive measures, including in areas where they work with their provincial and territorial counterparts.

House debate  Madam Speaker, I would be very honoured to take the time today to table, in both official languages, on behalf of 89 departments and agencies, the departmental results reports for 2021-22.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2022-23  Mr. Speaker, I now have the honour to table, in both official languages, supplementary estimates (B), 2022-23.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his hard work and his important question. On Monday, in Ottawa—Vanier, in the national capital region, we announced the construction of 271 affordable housing units for families in our area. What great news. We are making investments to help give women, youth and indigenous peoples a safe and affordable place to live in our region.

Ways and Means  moved that Bill C-32, An Act to implement certain provisions of the fall economic statement tabled in Parliament on November 3, 2022 and certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 7, 2022, be read the first time and printed. (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
