Mr. Speaker, there have been discussions among the parties, and I believe and hope that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion:

That, notwithstanding any Standing Order or usual practice of the House: (a) the members to serve on both the Standing Committee on International Trade and the Standing Committee on Finance be appointed by the whip of each recognized party depositing with the Clerk of the House a list of his or her party's members of the said committees no later than the ordinary hour of adjournment today; (b) the Clerk of the House shall convene a meeting of both said committees no later than Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 3:30 p.m.

Mr. Speaker, in my exuberance to stand, I really wanted to thank the very good and generous people of the riding of Ajax for the opportunity to serve them.

I thank the House for its indulgence in letting me slip that in as I do something that I think the House will appreciate, which is to ask you this: If you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent to apply the result of the previous vote to this vote, with Liberal members voting in favour.

[Ramadan, May 7th, 2019]

Mr. Speaker, thousands of residents in Ajax and across Canada are observing Ramadan, and to them I say Ramadan Mubarak.

For the fifth year in a row, I am going to be fasting in support of a phenomenal charity that is blowing up across the world, called Give 30. We fast and then take the money we save from fasting and give it to local food banks to help those in need.

Ramadan is a powerful tool that connects us, through fasting, to the suffering of others. Unfortunately, here in Canada, we still have those who are suffering, but we have made remarkable progress. We are three years ahead of our targets on poverty reduction, having lifted 300,000 children out of poverty.

As we observe Ramadan, this is an excellent opportunity for us to say, “Inshallah, we can get rid of poverty in this country altogether.”
