Health  Mr. Speaker, we have committed to working with the provinces and territories to ensure that seniors are protected right across the country in long-term care. We know there is a need to improve long-term care standards across the country. We look forward to working with the provinces and territories to share best practices.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, I hate to correct the member on his facts, but Japan is a member of the G7. By taking quick and necessary action, we saved millions of jobs, provided support to millions of families and kept more businesses solvent with CERB, flexible EI, recovery benefits, the wage subsidy, rent support and CEBA.

COVID-19 Emergency Response  Mr. Speaker, we know this has been a hard year for Canadians, and we have all had to look out for each other. We are grateful for Canadians' hard work and resilience, and as we said, we have their backs. We know it has not always been easy, and we have ensured easy access to digital tools and resources that provide information and support.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, we have always taken allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and referred them to the appropriate authorities. When the ombudsman came forward to the minister to say he had heard allegations, the minister directed him to those independent authorities who could follow up on an investigation.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, in 2018, my office was aware of the minister's direction to the ombudsman, but my office and I learned of the details of the allegation through news reporting over the past months.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, unlike the Conservatives, we have listened to scientists and experts every step of the way. Now that we have safe and effective vaccines in Canada, we need to make sure that as many Canadians as possible can get vaccinated. To ensure that as many people as possible are protected from COVID-19, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization said that second doses can safely be delayed up to four months.

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, we have always been there to support our seniors. We increased the guaranteed income supplement by 10% as soon as we took office. We supported seniors and expanded and reformed old age security. We invested and will continue to invest, as promised, in order to increase old age security for seniors when they turn 75.

Pensions  Mr. Speaker, we are supporting seniors of all ages during the pandemic by providing a total of $3.8 billion in tax-free payments and increased community supports. We plan to increase old age security by 10% for seniors when they turn 75. That is on top of the work we are doing to restore the age of eligibility for old age security benefits, increase the guaranteed income supplement for single seniors, and improve the Canada pension plan for future retirees.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, as a government, we have always taken allegations of sexual misconduct very seriously. No one should ever feel unsafe at work. It is clear, though, that the many measures we have taken since being in government have not yet gone far enough and they have not moved fast enough.

National Defence  Mr. Speaker, that is simply not true. We take all allegations seriously and ensure they are followed up on by the appropriate independent authorities. That is exactly what happened in this situation. After the defence ombudsman received a complaint, the minister directed him to independent officials who could investigate.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, no Canadian should have to make a choice between buying medication and putting food on their table. Therefore, we will continue to work toward national universal pharmacare. We will do so in respect of the Constitution and in partnership with the provinces and not impose a political decision from Ottawa.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I am speaking into a PCO-approved microphone that I was assured is fine to use. It is in my office here on the Hill. My original point of order was that you made a ruling that you could not rule twice on the same point of order that you had already ruled on, unless you believed that something had materially changed in the likely outcome of the unanimous consent motion.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, in your response—

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, you mentioned that you could not rule twice on a point of order unless you felt that things had materially changed.

Points of Order  I suspect that if you ask for unanimous consent on the member for Vancouver Kingsway's request to repeat his question, you will find—
