Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, I will be splitting my time today with the member for Labrador. I would like to first acknowledge that the House of Commons where this debate is taking place today is on the traditional territory of the Algonquin nation. I am pleased to discuss the amendments to Canada's citizenship oath that our government is proposing to Parliament.

Citizenship Act  Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to add my voice to today's debate—

Small Business  Mr. Speaker, since the beginning of the pandemic, local businesses in my riding of Don Valley North have been reaching out to my office to ask about what supports are available to help them throughout this difficult time. Shutdowns due to COVID-19 have been extremely difficult for small businesses.

Proceedings on the bill entitled An Act relating to certain measures in response to COVID-19  Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. I heard the rule yesterday about not taking pictures of the screen or of other members. What is the rule on taking screenshots during the voting proceeding? Could you clarify the rule on that?

Armenia  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark the centennial of the Treaty of Sèvres, signed at the end of the First World War. As part of the larger Versailles peace settlement, the treaty made a commitment to try Ottoman officials for perpetrating the Armenian genocide and set the borders of the Republic of Armenia by including the historic Armenian provinces into a sovereign territory under the protection of the allied powers.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters  Mr. Speaker, a team Canada response to COVID-19 has been essential in protecting the health and safety of Canadians these past few months and will continue to be important as we move forward in our continued response to COVID-19 and to recovery, but this pandemic has also had a significant economic and social impact on communities across Canada.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I am very pleased to add a voice to today's debate. It is a very important issue. I heard the member from the NDP party mention that he has never been in the legislature. I actually was an MPP for the Ontario legislature and I remember going to hospitals and talking to businesses on their views of Ontario's pharmacare.

Health  Mr. Speaker, this weekend we saw Canada's first presumed cases of coronavirus. While this was not unexpected, many people in my community of Don Valley North are wondering what this means for them and their families. Toronto's border service officers, public health officials and hospital staff have been working very hard to protect our citizens.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, specifically, we have set out a plan to increase old age security for most Canadians in this country. Our government has also done quite a bit of work in the last four years to increase the GIS. Again, I look for support from all members when it comes to providing more help for seniors and making their living more affordable.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that in our platform and again in the throne speech, we heard that this government is committed to making a better future for our next generation, planting more trees and reducing emissions. We are the only party that put forward a very decisive action plan during the campaign to meet the 2050 goal.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that bringing down emissions and having a good green energy sector is a good economic case. Our track record has demonstrated that we can make this work. Again, I look to those across the floor and to all parliamentarians. We need to stick together and implement actions right away to bring down emissions and improve our environment.

Resumption of Debate on Address in Reply  Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for Oakville North—Burlington. It is my pleasure to rise today to deliver my maiden speech in this hon. House as the member of Parliament for Don Valley North and to speak in support of the Speech from the Throne. I would like to begin by thanking the people of Don Valley North for placing their trust in me to be their voice in Ottawa.
