My priorities

As your next MP for Hull-Aylmer, I will endeavour to achieve the following priorities at the local, provincial and federal levels.
​
In solidarity,

Local Priorities

  1. Release funds to ensure the construction of the tramway linking Ottawa to Aylmer and mobilise a construction team as quickly as possible.

  2. Funding for the construction of new Canadair water bombers to act quickly in the event of forest fires in our forests: Gatineau Park, Boucher Forest, Algonquin Park, etc.

  3. Ensure that civil servants are paid fairly for their work (adjustment for inflation).

  4. Mobilise the army quickly in the event of a disaster, so that it can be trained to operate the machinery needed to help mitigate the undeniable effects of climate change.

  5. Construction of a new bridge favouring all forms of green transportation so that the population collectively adopts sustainable means of transport: carpooling, taxis, hybrid buses, electric cars with a lane reserved for active transport (cycling, walking).

  6. Feed, house, transport and pay the homeless who are willing to work to green the society. Therefore, give them more support to promote their social integration in order to ensure a local ecological transition. These green jobs will consist of reforesting areas, planting and maintaining community gardens and doing manual work for the construction of a sustainable project (for example, the tramway).

  7. Encourage companies to build affordable housing, subsidised in part by the government, that adopts green construction: green roofs, green parking, creation of shaded walkways, replacing lawns with urban gardens to stimulate biodiversity, etc.

  8. Bringing generations closer together by providing daily green shuttles from retirement homes to local schools. There is a shortage of childcare and this would greatly help schools in the short term. Older people would act as volunteers to help young people socialise more with each other.

  9. Legislate the replacement of plastic bags with bags made from plant-based materials that are 100% compostable and encourage bulk buying to reduce food costs.

  10. Make the civil service an example to follow in the management of residual materials (sort all waste).

Québec Priorities

  1. Subsidise cooperative housing companies to balance their financial losses. This will ensure that the population has somewhere to live and thus save money in the long term.

  2. Move towards renewable energy with solar panels, with the possibility of making it a national priority.

  3. Adopt ecological choices in terms of food and thus help the population to live with healthy habits. In addition, the development of biomethanisation in Quebec is gradually replacing diesel production.

  4. Give a voice to the indigenous peoples of Quebec to ensure close collaboration with the Quebec government (education, exploitation of resources, job creation, etc.).

  5. Support television productions that encourage the collective adoption of ecological measures (documentaries, children's programmes, reports, short films, etc.).

Canada Priorities

  1. Promote a green energy corridor in the country by prioritising solar panels to create several power stations. This network will allow electric vehicles to recharge if they cross Canada, and support High-Speed Trains connecting Quebec City to Toronto). Accordingly, stop subsidising oil and gas companies within a reasonable timeframe, seeing the pipeline as a medium-term alternative solution to the threat of tariffs imposed by the United States.

  2. Respond effectively to the housing crisis by subsidising companies that build prefabricated and modular homes to reduce the cost to first-time buyers. The elimination of the GST on the purchase of a first property will also be put forward.

  3. Provide immediate short-term financial assistance to companies penalised by US tariffs. In this way, encourage a transition towards national sovereignty for several types of companies.

  4. Greening agricultural techniques by subsidising electric tractors and agricultural robots; legally recognising all farm animals as sentient beings so that euthanasia is better regulated.

  5. The most affluent Canadians (1%) will be taxed to help to reduce societal inequalities gradually, without affecting their well-being. Tax evasion must be taken seriously and taxed like any other contribution. Furthermore, maintaining the increase in the taxable portion of capital gains exceeding $250,000 at two-thirds rather than abandoning it. In addition, the principle of making corporate polluters pay, brought in by the government in recent years, must be strengthened, in particular by introducing a tax on fuel for international flights.
