Mr. Speaker, I will take that as a no then.
I will ask more directly. Will the Prime Minister commit to ending the use of offshore tax havens, which cost our economy billions of dollars?

COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Matters July 8th, 2020
Mr. Speaker, we know that our country is in a difficult situation and that will require making some difficult choices.
Will the Prime Minister choose to stop the help for Canadians who are desperately in need, or will he choose to ask the wealthiest Canadians, those who are at the very top, to finally start paying their fair share?
Point of Order June 17th, 2020
Madam Speaker, I will not.
Point of Order June 17th, 2020
Madam Speaker, yes, I did call him a racist, and I do believe he is.

Mr. Speaker, I also have a unanimous consent motion.
There have been discussions and I hope if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: That, the House recognize that there is systemic racism in the RCMP as several indigenous people have died at the hands of the RCMP in recent months, and call on the government to do the following: a) review the nearly $10 million per day RCMP budget and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act, increase non-police investments in non-violent intervention, de-escalation, and mental health and addictions supports; b) ensure that the RCMP is truly accountable to the public; c) release all RCMP incidents of use-of-force reports and the associated settlement costs; and d) immediately launch a full review of the use of force by the RCMP, including reviewing the tactics and the training that is given to RCMP officers in dealing with the public.
Seniors May 26th, 2020
Mr. Speaker, Canada needs national leadership to rally around the idea that profits should not be made off of seniors and that seniors should not be neglected.
The conditions were equally appalling at the Herron long-term care home in Quebec. Thirty-one seniors died at that facility. That is unacceptable. The private long-term care homes have the worst conditions.
Is the Prime Minister prepared to say today that it is time to put an end to for-profit senior care?
Seniors May 26th, 2020
Mr. Speaker, Canadians were horrified to hear the details, as outlined by the military report, of the conditions that seniors were living in, in long-term care homes. Seniors need more than just our compassion. They desperately need action. Report after report has made it clear that private long-term care homes have been the site of the most deplorable conditions.
Will the Prime Minister agree today that it is time to remove profit from the care of seniors?

Health May 25th, 2020
Mr. Speaker, I thank the Prime Minister for that response.
The Prime Minister promised to help Canadians living with disabilities. He made that promise weeks ago, but he has yet to follow through.
When will the Prime Minister provide support for people with disabilities?
Health May 25th, 2020
Mr. Speaker, we have seen that in this country Canadians have to make an impossible choice when they are sick. Without paid sick leave, they have to choose between going to work and potentially risking infecting their co-workers or staying at home and not knowing if they can pay their bills.
Will the Prime Minister commit to immediately putting in place a guarantee that all Canadians can receive paid sick leave?
