Mr. Speaker, the situation we face is incredibly serious. The shocking rise of anti-Semitism that we are seeing in Canada and around the world is leading to acts of violence. My heart breaks for the tragedies we have seen in the United States in the last couple of weeks, in Colorado and in Washington.
Our first priority is to ensure that we have safe-access legislation to protect schools, campuses, places of worship and community centres. There is no room for any Canadian accessing services at these facilities in our community to have to experience the fear and intimidation that we are seeing on our streets. Following in the footsteps of some of the municipalities in Canada that are moving forward with similar types of legislation, bringing in those safe-access zones is an important priority for me as I enter this House.
