Madam Chair, I'm here in good faith to answer my colleagues' questions, and I refute all of the member's claims.
The deputy minister made it very clear that legal proceedings are currently under way against Laith Marouf. We have always denounced anti-Semitism and hate speech. We do not tolerate it in the Department of Canadian Heritage or in the government.
I've spent my life defending minorities and others, including members of the LGBTQ2+ community, and I will not allow my colleague to say just anything about me. I refute all her claims. It's shameful to sit here and have to listen to that, Madam Chair.
