Jewish Students on Campus Madam Speaker, the use of the term “apartheid” to depict the state of Israel is offensive and absurd. Israel is Canada's close friend and ally. It is a vibrant democracy with members of its minority communities serving in Parliament, the judiciary and in all professions. However,

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, I think this is the first time the Crimean War has been referenced in this chamber in a very long time. One of the things that has been the most gratifying for me over the course of this debate has been the unanimity, where this House has found total agreement in

Russia's Attack on Ukraine Mr. Chair, we need to make sure that platforms are held accountable for driving traffic to disinformation. We have seen, over and over, that platforms seek to monetize and make revenue and make sure that people stay on platforms for as long as possible. Hate is driven to hate, an

Russia's Attack on Ukraine Mr. Chair, I think it would be appropriate to thank Poland and all the neighbouring countries around Ukraine for taking in so many refugees. We certainly have to make it easy for Ukrainians who are seeking a temporary or permanent solution to come to Canada. I am certainly open t

Russia's Attack on Ukraine Mr. Chair, as the hon. member knows, I do not speak for the government on this issue. However, in my view, that would depend on whether or not we believe the Canadian ambassador in Russia, who would clearly be expelled if we expelled the Russian ambassador, is able to find things

Russia's Attack on Ukraine Mr. Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Kings—Hants. My time is short, so I will make some quick points.

Emergencies Act Mr. Speaker, I want to commend the member for not insulting any other party or any other member of the House. Today, we have been talking a lot about division in Canada, yet the people complaining about division are making speeches that are equally divisive. I have been very con

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague, who is always very reasonable. As I think I said in my speech, we are all extremely disappointed by what has happened in Ottawa. For various reasons, the Ottawa police were unable to adequately address the situation. The federal governm

Emergencies Act Madam Speaker, that is exactly the type of question that, in my view, is part of the problem. I asked everybody on all sides to tone down the rhetoric. That is on my side and the other side. We all have that responsibility, all 338 of us. To single out one member when all of us h
