I'm very familiar with the Canada Summer Jobs program, minister. However, 20 Liberal members have provided funding to organizations that have made homophobic remarks.

Were those remarks made consciously? Were the members aware they were funding organizations that support terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, or was this a form of rank incompetence?

You have also put a certification process in place specifically to ensure compliance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. How is it that 20 Liberal MPs have funded organizations associated with terrorist groups that make absolutely unthinkable comments in 2018?
