Justice  Mr. Speaker, it goes without saying that the appointments are non-partisan and independent. It is very important because we are a country of rule of law. I think that everyone here agrees on that. It is also a priority of ours for the bench to be representative of the population.

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for Pierrefonds—Dollard, a fantastic riding, for his important question. The recent images of the arrest of Imran Khan are deeply troubling. We are very preoccupied with the political crisis that is happening right now in Pakistan.

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, I think my colleague forgot to pay attention yesterday and listen to what was happening in committee. Jenni Byrne, Pierre Poilievre's chief strategist, his confidante, the person who thinks of everything necessary—

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, allow me to repeat that. Jenni Byrne, the official opposition leader's chief strategist, his confidante, the person he trusts, told the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday that when the official opposition leader was minister of democratic institutions, h

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, of course we are taking the issue of foreign interference very seriously. Of course we will never accept any form of foreign interference in our democracy. That is why, after much reflection and evaluation of all the different potential consequences, we decided to t

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, if my colleague has been following everything that has been done on this file over the past few weeks, then he knows very well that a special rapporteur has been appointed, former governor general David Johnston. He is doing his work and we are going to let him do th

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship  Mr. Speaker, we will say it one more time and the Bloc needs to hear it. The Century Initiative is not a government policy. First of all, the Bloc Québécois needs to stop scaring people. Second, the Bloc Québécois knows very well that the federal government gives the most money

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, I think my colleague well knows that we have a very important Indo-Pacific strategy that includes our China strategy. In there it is clear that we will put a national security lens on foreign investments. Therefore, of course we have the security of Canadians in mind

Health  Mr. Speaker, first of all, as the Bloc Québécois is well aware, because the minister has already said so, the initiative mentioned is not a policy of this government. That is the first point. My second point is that, to my knowledge, there were no Bloc Québécois members present

Women and Gender Equality  Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, our policy is clear. We are a feminist government. That includes defending women's rights, including a woman's right to choose and a woman's right to access abortion. We will always be there to fund clinics, but also to fight the radical r

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, of course, when it comes to foreign interference, we will never tolerate it, and that is exactly what I said to my counterpart when I met with him a month ago. That is also why we summoned the Chinese ambassador a bit earlier today. Now, we are also, as a thoughtful

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, I fully understand the frustration and fear that our colleague felt knowing that he and his family could be targeted by the government in Beijing. That is why we have always said and will always say that any form of foreign interference is unacceptable. That is why

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, if I could continue to speak without my colleague interrupting me, which we also said—

Foreign Affairs  Mr. Speaker, since the beginning of this crisis, we have been at it. At Global Affairs Canada, 130 people have been reaching out to every single Canadian who has been registered online on the Global Affairs website: 800 Canadians have raised their hand for support and 200 Canadia

Government Priorities  Mr. Speaker, I just want to set the record straight. It is important for Canadians to know that consular services helping on the crisis in Sudan right now are working 24-7.
