I don't care one bit about people's race or skin colour.

I have people on Twitter that they know better my own platform than myself.

Diversity, it is good. This country has been built by diversity. But diversity in sharing of values? For me, it's not good.

I am saying to Canadians, there is no climate emergency in this country.

Some may remember that, in 2010, I publicly broke ranks with my colleagues from the Quebec City area who were pushing our government to subsidize a new sports amphitheater in the city. They had seized on this popular project to... What else? Buy votes.

Yes, I worked in Montreal. I worked there for 20 years... I came back to Beauce in 2006 to represent the Beaucerons.

We cannot be the welfare state of the planet.

They call me the Albertan of Quebec. It stuck.

I may be a dreamer, but I think monetary economics should be a hot topic.

I talk about economic freedom. I talk about capitalism without fearing the word.

What is best for the Beauce is what is best for Canada.

If you believe in free markets, I don't want to make any compromise with my principles and I think that's the right policy for Canadians and for Canadian consumers.

You can be of any ethnic background or faith and be a Canadian if you share fundamental Canadian values, learn about our history and culture, and integrate in our society.

A tax on capital is self-defeating, in that it slows down capital accumulation, investment and economic growth.

People are fed up of politicians who say one thing one day and another the day after.

While the other parties look at polls and focus groups to decide what they stand for, and pander to every special interest group, we follow our principles.

It's federal jurisdiction, so the federal government can approve pipelines.

Nationalism can be a destructive force when it promotes intolerance and division. But it can also be a force for good, when it seeks to defend local autonomy against the homogenizing forces of larger entities.

It's nice to have dreams, but when you use borrowed money to achieve them and act as if money grows on trees, you may have a brutal awakening.

I believe in people, and you don't need to be a feminist for that.
