Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, for the past four years, it has been illegal to buy, sell or use assault-style weapons in this country, and that is exactly what the Conservative leader has promised to overturn if he gets elected to government in this country. The reality is that he wants to bring b

Women and Gender Equality  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Davenport is right. Reproductive health is health. Abortion is health care. The Leader of the Opposition pretends to care about freedom, but whose freedom was he defending by threatening to suspend Canadians' charter rights, by voting to restric

Intergovernmental Affairs  Mr. Speaker, the member knows full well that we paid back a significant amount of the costs incurred by the City of Windsor during the Conservative-supported convoy. There is a matter of a dispute around whether its legal fees were to be covered by the federal government. I know

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, obviously, we are closely monitoring the processes as they unfold at the ICC. We respect the independence of the court. There is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas. One is a state. The other is a terrorist organization. As we have said from the beginning, all pa

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, to be clear, those things are already illegal in hospitals. We know that nurses and hospital staff need to feel safe in their work environment, and it is our government that has invested billions of dollars into the health care system to ensure Canadians have access

Women and Gender Equality  Mr. Speaker, I first want to thank the member for Ottawa—Vanier for her hard work and leadership. On the other side of the House, Conservative MPs are proposing anti-choice laws and attending anti-abortion rallies. Not only does the Conservative leader refuse to challenge his ca

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the problem with the Conservative leader's approach on crime is that it consistently gets struck down by the courts. That is what we saw through eight years of Stephen Harper, which actually left Canadians worse off than before. The reality is, our approach is crac

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has continually pledged to make assault-style weapons legal again. We have banned them for the past four years, and we will continue to make sure that they stay banned in this country, while the Leader of the Opposition wants to bring bac

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, we are working closely with industry, scientists and our international partners to manage an extremely unique situation. We understand how difficult this is for fishers. We will continue to be there for them. We will ensure that the steps we are going to take and the

Taxation  Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers know only too well what Conservative austerity leads to when it comes to affordability and the cost of living. That is why we will continue investing in families. We will continue to be there to help our seniors. We will continue to be there to help chil

Mental Health and Addictions  Mr. Speaker, the fact is we will continue to be there responsibly with a science-based, evidence-based approach that works with jurisdictions on the tools they need to counter the growing opioid and toxic drug epidemic. I understand the ideological desire by Conservatives to sim

Finance  Mr. Speaker, once again, the Conservative leader completely ignores the facts and the data in every political argument he tries to make. In reality, the global inflation phenomenon has not hit Canada as hard as it hit many other countries, and inflation has remained within the

Finance  Mr. Speaker, can anyone remember what the Conservatives did in Quebec? They cut care and social services. They cut transfers. They cut arts and culture. For the Conservatives to rise today to attack the Bloc Québécois for not standing up for Quebec is a bit much. The reality, as

Finance  Mr. Speaker, contrary to what the leader of the Conservative Party thinks, I fundamentally believe that every member of this House is here to defend their constituents' interests. That is our individual and collective responsibility, and every single person here is doing that. P

Fisheries and Oceans  Mr. Speaker, we understand the difficulties and distress facing fishers in eastern Canada. People are going through some extremely difficult times because of climate change and dwindling marine populations. We will always be there to support fishers. Part of that support also me
