Eleanor Collins  Mr. Speaker, as members know, February is Black History Month. Today I want to pay tribute to an exceptional Canadian woman, the legendary singer Eleanor Collins. Eleanor, now 102 years old, had an illustrious career as Canada's first lady of jazz. She was the first woman and first Black artist to star in her own television show in Canada.

Criminal Code  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-233, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Judges Act (violence against an intimate partner). Mr. Speaker, it is with immense gratitude that I introduce my very important bill to amend the Criminal Code and the Judges Act. I want to thank my colleague from Oakville North—Burlington for supporting it.

Health  Mr. Speaker, we know the vaccine is the best way to put an end to the pandemic and keep our communities safe. Can the Minister of Transport please share with the House the steps our government is taking to safeguard the health of Canadians and Canada's air transportation system?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, I would like to follow up with the minister. Could he please explain to the House if there will be anything special for Quebec when it comes to tourism?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, what has FedNor done to support jobs and growth in southern Ontario? As we know, without jobs, the economy suffers. Can the minister provide more details?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, I would like to ask the Minister of Health a question. As we know, vaccination is going to help our country keep moving forward. Could he explain to us what the plan is in the upcoming months, especially with these variants that we continue to face?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, I have another question for the Minister of Health. We know that some people's mental health has really deteriorated during the pandemic. Can the minister explain what the government's plan is for the future?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, we make better decisions when employees look like the communities they serve. More than 25.2% of Canadians identify as having a disability. It is important that more Canadians with disabilities be represented in the public service. What will the funding that the government is requesting for the Office of Public Service Accessibility be used for?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, the next question is for the Minister of Tourism. As we know, tourism is very important for our culture and our communities. Can the minister explain the importance of tourism?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Madam Chair, I would first like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people. I rise in the House to talk about what Canadian Heritage has been doing to support the culture, heritage and sport sectors since the beginning of the COVID‑19 pandemic.

Gender-Based Violence  Mr. Speaker, 32 years ago today, Canadians were shocked and horrified to learn that 14 young women with a promising future ahead of them had been murdered in a senseless act of misogyny, hatred and gender-based violence. Those women were robbed of the chance to achieve their dream.

Violence Against Women  Mr. Speaker, this past year has been difficult for all Canadians, but the pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on women. In Quebec, we are seeing a devastating spike of incidents of violence, in which 11 women tragically lost their lives. Could the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development update us on how our government is preventing gender-based violence and supporting survivors in Quebec?

Health  Mr. Speaker, over the past year, Canadians have stayed at home to slow the spread of COVID-19, but for some people, home is not a safe place. Many victims of family violence have become even more vulnerable during the pandemic. All Canadians deserve to feel safe at home. Could the Minister of Health tell us how the government is working to support victims of family violence?

Employment  Mr. Speaker, our government presented budget 2021 last week. This is one of the most significant budgets in generations. Our plan invests in those who are most vulnerable and in families from coast to coast to coast. Can the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion tell the House about the work our government is doing to bring employment back to pre-pandemic levels?

Gender-Based Violence  Madam Chair, I would like to thank my colleague. I am pleased to serve and work with her on the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration. She has a great deal of compassion, and I really like how she presents things. To answer her question, which relates to compassion, I find that it is really important to have support, especially for women.
