[Tragic Events in Tumbler Ridge, February 11th, 2026]

Mr. Speaker, we solemnly gather today in the shadow of a heartbreaking tragedy that has shaken our country.

Our nation is in mourning.

Yesterday in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, nine innocent lives were senselessly taken and 25 people were injured in a horrific mass shooting. This violence unfolded at a school, a place meant to nurture and protect our children, deepening the shock and sorrow felt by all Canadians.

Loved ones have been stolen, families have been shattered, and a small community will be changed forever. In a place where everyone knows one another, where neighbours are more like extended family, a loss like this reverberates through every home, every workplace and every gathering.

To the families who are mourning: We grieve with you, we stand behind you and we hold you in our hearts. We know that no words can fill the void, but we hope that you feel the support of a nation that is behind you today, tomorrow and for all the challenging days ahead.

We remember all of the victims not as numbers in a headline but as human beings whose lives were rich and meaningful. The light they brought into this world and the potential they carried can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.

To the injured, we send our deepest thoughts of healing and strength.

To the students, friends and teachers who suffered this assault, we are there for you.

We express our profound gratitude to the educators who first faced this assault, the first responders who courageously rushed to the scene as it unfolded and to all the health care workers who are caring for the injured. Your humanity and professionalism in the face of trauma remind us of the quiet heroism you display in our communities every single day.

We thank the many people of Tumbler Ridge and across the region who have rushed to offer support for one another in this heartbreaking moment. In times like these, the strength of a community is truly revealed.

In the face of such senseless tragedy and pain, we feel anger, confusion and despair. We ask ourselves how such violence can happen in our communities in this country. These questions matter, and they deserve honest, thoughtful consideration. There will be a time to answer them, but that time is not today.

Today is a day when we cherish the victims and care for their families. Today is a day when we collectively grieve, comfort and hold each other just a little more tightly. Today is a day when a nation comes together in solidarity and love.

[Foreign Affairs, February 10th, 2026]

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister recently urged the global community to stand up to superpower intimidation and called on middle powers to stand together to resist it.

The United States has imposed an illegal blockade on Cuba for decades, crippling its economy and causing mass suffering to the Cuban people. Now Donald Trump is cutting off fuel, risking a humanitarian disaster.

Will the Prime Minister stay true to his words in Davos, uphold independent Canadian foreign policy and support Cuba in the face of aggressive U.S. imperialism?

[Canadian Identity and Culture, January 29th, 2026]

Mr. Speaker, Canada is facing an unprecedented threat to our sovereignty from Donald Trump and his administration. This is the most serious external danger for our country in decades, but we also face challenges to Canada's unity from within. Actions and words that sow division, spread hatred and foment violence are scourges that undermine and damage society.

This week we marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a sombre commemoration of the genocide that took the lives of six million Jews and damaged the lives of millions more. Today is the national day of action against Islamophobia and remembrance of the Québec City mosque attack that killed and injured 25 Muslims at prayer. Together, these profound memorials remind us of the deadly effects of racism and the need to confront it, and defeat it, every day.

New Democrats will always stand with those fighting for the equality, dignity, safety and respect of all Canadians.

[Request for Emergency Debate, January 28th, 2026]

Madam Speaker, I rise today to request an emergency debate on the recent deeply concerning actions and statements by the Trump administration that have grave implications for the sovereignty and security of Canada.

On January 3, President Trump ordered American forces to disregard international law and core principles of national sovereignty by attacking Venezuela, a UN member state. This aggression was followed by President Trump's announcement of a Donroe doctrine, considering the entire western Hemisphere to be within the sole hegemonic control of the United States.

On January 18, President Trump expressed his intent to seize Greenland, a territory of Denmark, another UN member state and, importantly, a NATO member. He justified this aggression by referencing Greenland's Arctic proximity, mineral reserves and inadequate defence capacity.

These actions and words have direct application to Canada. They follow repeated and continuing threats made to Canada since Donald Trump became President. They are occurring on a daily basis right up to this moment. There is a wide consensus among observers, policy experts and stakeholders from across the political spectrum in Canada, from Jason Kenney to Bob Rae, that our country is vulnerable as a result.

It is vital that members of Parliament be afforded an opportunity to speak to these important and urgent matters, which profoundly affect our sovereignty, security and place in the world. I ask that this emergency debate be approved and conducted forthwith tonight.

[Northern Affairs, January 27th, 2026]

Mr. Speaker, New Democrats just returned from Rankin Inlet, where we witnessed the challenges facing Canadians in the north. We heard stories of 12, 15 or 17 people living in a two-bedroom home, of folks on housing waitlists for decades and of extreme food prices, from $15 onions to $28 orange juice. There is no hospital, not enough jobs and unreliable Internet.

People are experiencing similar issues in communities across Canada. When is the government going to take real action to address them?

[Points of Order, December 11th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the New Democratic caucus and my colleagues, I would also like to extend our best wishes this holiday season to all of the members of the House and all of the staff on the Hill. I cannot do better than my colleague from the Bloc, who, I think, enumerated all of the very many people who, every day, not only make this place work but provide such a foundational support for Canadian democracy.

On their behalf, I wish everybody a merry Christmas and the best of the holiday season. Have a safe and happy holiday.
