International Trade committee  Canada ranks among Mexico's leading agri-food suppliers. Mexican agri-food imports from Canada reached $2.9 billion in 2022. Mexico's large population, growing middle class, geographic proximity and political stability make it an important market for CAFTA exporters. The deep integration between the Canadian and U.S. agricultural sectors is largely a question of proximity, but trade agreements and a deep, positive relationship with our American friends and allies are also vital.

Public Accounts committee  I do think that's a good thing; however, there is a difference between accepting the recommendations and accepting the report in its entirety. Of course, the report highlights that your government has no plan to reach its housing goals and that the state of housing on first nations has not improved since 2015. I'd like to offer you the opportunity to answer again and to confirm whether or not you accept the entirety of this report as an accurate representation of the state of first nations housing.

Public Accounts committee  Therefore, it does take time to rectify and create the systemic changes that are needed to ensure that every first nations person has a safe place to rest their head, that communities have the autonomy they need to proceed in ways that make sense to them, and that their houses are able to host children and have families reach their full potential. As we continue this work together to repair the deep harms of ongoing colonialism and to implement the Auditor General's recommendations, I'd like to make the point very clear that the issues pointed out in the report can be resolved only through the work of true partnership with indigenous people and the full self-determination of first nations.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  I think any civilian who would issue a complaint, or even an officer who had a complaint levied against them, would want it dealt with sooner rather than later. To have it left hanging out there for seven years or longer is a problem. That definitely needs to be brought up and dealt with. In my remaining time, I want to emphasize how important it is that we get things right when it comes to public safety.

Public Complaints and Review Commission Act  This agency is being asked to do a lot of things in our country. It takes care of the ports and airports and also ensures that people who stay longer than their immigration visa allows are sent back to their country of origin. It is hard work and they need support from a federal government that is on their side. The workers do not have that support today.

National Strategy on Brain Injuries Act  Canadians across the country need to see a national strategy. They need to see the supports in place. They no longer have time to wait. I hope that all members of Parliament will support this vital bill going through today.

Addictions  I am told, for instance, that $16.7 billion goes towards national health burdens such as addressing diseases, disorders and cancers due to alcoholism. We know, in Ottawa, that the Inuit population has reached about 5,000. Unfortunately, Inuit are disproportionately represented when it comes to substance-related deaths. I am aware that the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction works in partnership with Ottawa Public Health and Inuit service providers.

Public Accounts committee  What happens if we are no longer getting value for money for these contracts? What are the next steps?

Canadian Heritage committee  When I was young, I remember watching the Canadiens and even Nordiques games on the CBC. Unfortunately, for over 20 years now, a lot of games are no longer broadcast. I understand it's because Rogers and TVA Sports paid a lot of money for the rights. That's why the Bloc Québécois will not support the motion.

Health committee  Stigma in our society is just as deadly as the drugs themselves. It's the main reason why people use alone and don't reach out for help and support. It's the main reason why people are dying as well. It's not just the drugs, but on top of that, the shame and just how you feel like such a failure. You try to go into a program and you try your best.

Public Accounts committee  You've now had several weeks since this report was tabled. Can you tell us why the mould strategy is no longer being used?

Public Accounts committee  You know, there's been the $20 billion in child welfare compensation and the $8 billion for lack of access to clean water. The difference is this government is not only no longer hiding from the legacy of the colonialism of this country but is trying to form those better relationships. Please be assured that I believe, as I was saying in response to MP Shanahan, that the time....

Health committee  Minister Williams, frequently I end up having people reach out to me from all across the country and explain to me how they are contemplating mortgaging their house in order to send their child to addiction treatment or how their child has a two-year wait or their sibling has a six-month wait to get into a treatment service.

Health committee  I'm certainly happy to see the officials reaching out. I think that—

Business of Supply  I am satisfied that we have a minister and a government that continue to ensure there is a higher sense of accountability, having found the degree to which there were problems. We saw that more specifically this week, as the board no longer exists.
