Business of Supply  It is something the previous government did not do. We lost hundreds of jobs in aircraft maintenance in Winnipeg as a result of that, and we would like to see a change from the current government. However, so far, the language of the current government has not indicated that it is willing to do so.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much. I fully understand your concern. We have it in our area too. There was a provision made for the fish processors. That had been done before. As you know, we have indicated a commitment to review this program, and we will. As I indicated, Minister Mihychuk is in charge of this.

Business of Supply  To get a true sense of the economic wasteland that would happen nationally if the opposition had its way, I will quote the volunteer non-profit Canadian organization, Working Canadians, which said, “Socialism in its various guises has never worked to the benefit of average, middle-class people”. Take the Liberal government of Kathleen Wynne as a real-time case in point. A number of recent developments in the province have focused the mind on how the current Ontario government’s policies are hurting, not helping, average Ontarians.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much. This is an issue that I see in my province too. As you know, there was a great problem with the temporary foreign workers over the last couple of years. It's not my ministry, of course, as you know. It's under Minister Mihychuk. She has indicated they're going to conduct a review.

Agriculture committee  Of course, if there is ever any problem with safe food, immediate action is taken, no matter what government is in place in this country. That's the way it always has been and that's the way it will be with us too, with this government. As I told you, I had heard from a number of stakeholders right across the country and there was some concern in western Canada and possibly in Quebec too about CFIA.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I believe that the promotion and protection of human rights, including freedom of religion or belief, is an integral part of Canada's leadership in the world. Our government is committed to reviewing and enhancing the human rights protections at home and abroad. The mandate letters of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of International Development refer to championing the values of inclusive and accountable governance, peaceful pluralism, and respect for diversity, including human rights for women and refugees.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, I do not know where the question was on the Office of Religious Freedom, but our government has made a pledge to help the most vulnerable refugees come to Canada. I am very proud to be part of a government that met its commitment of bringing 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada.

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, Canada stands steadfast with Ukraine. We always have and we always will. We have been explicit in our condemnation of Russia's unlawful annexation of Crimea. The Russian interference and invasion of Ukrainian territory is completely unacceptable. We have one of the strongest sanctions in the world, strengthened further last week in order to apply economic pressure on Russia and the Putin government for its aggression.

Parks Canada  Mr. Speaker, my home, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada's first incorporated city, established in 1783, deserves to have its story told, about its place in our nation's proud history. Unfortunately, national historic monuments like Martello Tower, Fort La Tour, Fort Howe, and Partridge Island are falling into ruin and have been ignored by previous governments.

Business of Supply  Mr. Speaker, the member made reference to the industry. As such, my question will be based on that. Over the years, the aerospace industry has been impacted negatively. Its potential has not been fully recognized in Canada. It is important that government identify the importance of technology in moving forward and investing in our aerospace industry.

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, with the CETA agreement, started by the previous government, stalled since September 2014, I was thrilled to learn that our government was able to get the talks back on track for signature and implementation next year. In 2008, Canadian goods and services exports to the European Union totalled $52.2 billion.

Health  Mr. Speaker, as my colleague well knows, we are a government that bases our decisions on evidence. In terms of the matter of problematic substance use, we will address this on the basis of public health concerns as well as a focus on harm reduction. I am very pleased that communities across the country have recognized that our government is supportive of supervised consumption sites, which have been known to save lives, prevent infections, and help people to access the health care system in a safe way.

Foreign Affairs  Will the government commit to continuing the present mandate of the Office of Religious Freedom?

Natural Resources  It is good for the environment globally. It is good for the Canadian economy. Again, we ask the Liberal government, why will it not stand up, why will it always get in the way and not go to bat for LNG, instead of throwing LNG under the bus? Truck drivers and workers in B.C. are concerned.

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, we are fully seized with the importance and urgency of this case. Canadian consular officials are working extremely closely with the appropriate government authorities in Canada and abroad, including law enforcement, to return the children safely to Canada. Consular officials are in regular contact with Ms.
