Madam Speaker, I hope I do know a few things about women; I am one.
What is really interesting here, for anybody watching, is that this has happened for decades. There was an opposition motion today that was to stand up for Canadians who are using food banks in record high numbers. IPV, intimate partner violence, has escalated at exponential numbers and sexual assaults have increased 75% under the Prime Minister. Women have never been less safe in this country than under the Prime Minister, and that is a fact. Women cannot get into shelters; YWCA in Halifax has said that.
Today there was a motion that used the Leader of the Opposition's own words about the failures of the government. Ten million Canadians do not even have a doctor, so let us talk about health care, shall we? Why would the New Democrats interrupt a motion, when Canadians need help more than ever, to kibosh it and to prop the Prime Minister up while Canadians suffer and women are murdered in broad daylight under the government and that Leader of the Opposition?
