Housing  Mr. Speaker, it is a good thing the Conservative Party is finally noticing that the federal government does have a role to play in housing. However, over the past number of years, we have not waited for the Conservatives. We have moved forward ourselves, building new affordable units through programs like the rapid housing initiative, expanding the first-time home buyer incentive, introducing Canada's first national tax on vacant property owned by non-resident non-Canadians, working to maintain the stability of the market, making the largest public transit investment in Canadian history and more.

Housing  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Vimy for her hard work and for this important question. We introduced the first-ever national housing strategy, a 10-year, $70-billion plan that will provide housing for hundreds of thousands of Canadians and eliminate chronic homelessness.

Health  Mr. Speaker, we work with teams, institutions and amateur and professional sport organizations to ensure that athletes are safe and people are protected so they can entertain and inspire us as athletes always do. The safety and health of everyone must always be the priority. That has guided us since the start of this pandemic, and that will guide us to the end.

Health  Mr. Speaker, as I said, the delegation returning from the G7, including me, will quarantine in an airport hotel, which is equivalent to what all Canadians have to do when they return from a trip. I should point out that we have often disagreed with the Conservatives on their approach to this pandemic.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, I know that every Quebecker values human rights and individual rights. It is important for every society and country around the world. The reality is that there are Quebeckers who have chosen to challenge this legislation as they have the right to do before their provincial court.

Justice  Mr. Speaker, in the wake of the terrible attack in London, much like the one at the mosque in Sainte-Foy, it is important to listen to the Muslim community in Quebec, London and elsewhere, to understand its worries and concerns. If we truly want to become closer, I urge the Bloc Québécois to listen to members of the Muslim community, who have expressed concerns about what they are experiencing right now in Quebec.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, as a government, we have taken unprecedented steps to fight the rise of Islamophobia. We have a responsibility to combat and condemn hatred in its strongest forms, which is why we declared January 29 as a national day of remembrance of the Quebec City mosque attack and action against Islamophobia.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for London West for her unwavering advocacy against hatred and discrimination. What happened in London, this act of terrorism, shows us that Islamophobia is a serious issue and it has no place in Canada or around the world. Whether through the security infrastructure program, by cracking down on online extremism or by dismantling far-right hate groups, we will continue doing everything we can to fight violence in every form.

Health  Mr. Speaker, we have always taken the necessary measures to keep Canadians safe. The requirement for incoming air travellers to have a negative COVID-19 test before leaving a government-approved hotel has worked, detecting cases and protecting Canadians from the importation of COVID-19 variants.

Health  Mr. Speaker, I would say no because Canadians expect us to do what it takes to protect Canadians during this health crisis. We know full well that the Conservatives encourage freedom for all. Unfortunately we have seen that some provinces have had a tough time because of that philosophy, but we as a government have always been there to put the safety of Canadians first.

Health  Mr. Speaker, since the beginning of this pandemic we have worked hand in hand with the United States to align our measures. Even with that, however, the measures have not been the same on both sides of the border. We brought in, early on, a mandatory two-week quarantine. We brought in initiatives such as pre-departure and on-arrival testing, which the Americans never had.

Health  Mr. Speaker, like all Canadians returning home via air during the pandemic, the delegation and I will be staying in a government-approved airport hotel. These are the same strict protocols that every traveller must follow and we expect them to be applied to everyone. At the same time, we recognize that being double vaccinated, as increasing numbers of Canadians are as millions of doses continue to arrive every week into Canada, gives one an extra level of protection, which is why we are talking about loosening the restrictions for fully vaccinated Canadians in the coming weeks.

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, you will understand if I take no lessons from the Conservative Party of Canada on managing Canada-U.S. relations. Over the past very difficult four years, we were able to renegotiate NAFTA in a way that protected supply management, that strengthened our economy and that demonstrated a defence of our cultural industries.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, we were all heartbroken by the terrorist attack that unfolded Sunday in London. An attacker murdered a Muslim family going out for an evening walk just because of their faith. To the Muslim community in London and to Muslims across Canada, I want to say we stand with them.

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, we created a parliamentary committee made up of parliamentarians from all parties to thoroughly examine matters of national security, with the necessary clearances. The leader of the Conservative Party recommended members of his party to sit on this committee. Other democracies like ours have similar committees.
