Business of Supply Madam Chair, that is not true. I was not asking about the minister. I was asking about an actual senior, Gerald Brown. Maybe the minister needs to look at his emails. The Women’s National Housing and Homelessness Network has called the crisis “so severe for women and gender-dive

Business of Supply Madam Chair, clearly he does not want to answer the question, because the minister has spent only 1% of the $438 million of the CMHC portion of the violence prevention strategy that has been in place since 2020. People are dying. Why is it taking so long?

Business of Supply Madam Chair, actually, the government does not care about gender-based violence. In fact, it is planning to cut $150 million from shelters. Is the government willing to revoke the $150-million cut to shelters in September?

Business of Supply Madam Chair, they are clearly unwilling to answer my question. It is going to cost lives when the government cuts that $150 million from shelters across the country. Again, last week, the government reannounced funding for shelters, because I think that the government thinks th

Business of Supply Madam Chair, I do recognize that the Liberals have only spent 5% of the $724.1 million and have reannounced money from that funding from 2020. He is talking about credibility when I come from a riding where we are literally searching for women who have died from violence in landf

Violence Against Pregnant Women Act Madam Speaker, anti-choice organizations, on the other hand, are cheering on the introduction of the bill. They see it as a step forward in establishing legal protection for fetuses, which would pave the way for legal restrictions on abortion. If the bill passes, it would be a vi

Violence Against Pregnant Women Act Madam Speaker, the member for Carleton has a history of supporting anti-choice legislation that impacts a woman's right to choose, including, now, his support of Bill C-311.

Violence Against Pregnant Women Act Madam Speaker, I am not pleased to have to rise today to speak on Bill C-311, another attack on a woman's right to choose, another attack on abortion as health care, another attack on abortion rights as human rights, which is something that women, in particular, led the way to ha

Violence Against Pregnant Women Act Madam Speaker, I know my hon. colleague is very passionate about the issue, but I do not think it is the issue at hand. In fact, the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada opposes this bill and is urging MPs to oppose the bill. At the same time, anti-choice organizations, including
