Richard Cannings Richard Cannings. Brad Vis Mark Gerretsen. Brad Vis. Melissa Lantsman. Melissa Lantsman The House met at 2 p. The Speaker :. I am proud to say I was there from the start of a moment. Its themes of kindness and of welcoming strangers in need resonates as much today as it ever did. Come From Away is a great example of the importance of investing in the arts. When I was in Gander recently, I heard about the economic impact this musical has had on the province.

One of those sick kids was my then young nephew, Julian, who was fighting cancer at 13 years old. Julian has fond memories of those visits. Such a small gesture for an NHL star had such a huge impact on a kid’s life. Today, 25 years later, Julian is a healthy, happy and vibrant year-old man. He is a husband and a father of three children. It was a very happy reunion.

I give a big shout-out to the Senators, Mr. Redden and CHEO for working with our sick kids. The new design can be optimized for a wide range of impairments, including those that affect visual, auditory, motor and cognitive skills. My website features a seizure-safe profile, a vision impaired profile, an ADHD-friendly profile and a cognitive disability profile, as well as keyboard navigation and screen readers.

Ensuring that everyone has equal access and opportunity to contact me or visit my website is extremely important to my team. I hope that by initiating this change, we will inspire other MPs to begin to follow suit and ensure users with impairments and other limitations can experience their websites the same as any other user.

Thus, a rivalry began. It continued until , despite the difficult environment that the news media are facing. They are not on a level playing field with the web giants. Today, Charles Desmarteau Jr. The people of my riding identify with their newspaper and are proud of it. Having been a paperboy myself, I also feel that I was part of this success.

Supporting our seniors has always been at the forefront of our priorities. In short, we are putting in place measures to limit the impact of inflation on everyone, particularly on our seniors.

I have stated before that the people of Miramichi have long been known for our large personalities, our sense of humour and our ability to turn a phrase. Evelock Clowater Gilks stood out, and he will be fondly remembered as a legend and an institution on our river. Evelock was born on April 4, , in Blissfield, New Brunswick.

He was a loving husband and father, an avid golfer, a proud legion member, and an accomplished fisherman who was passionate about the Miramichi River, the people and communities who live along it, and the Atlantic salmon who call it home. The river at home feels a little empty since his passing. The unfortunate curse of a personality as large as his is the silence that is left behind. I would like to express my deepest condolences and send these words of comfort to his wife, Eleanor, and his children.

A familiar and friendly face to many, Sharron turned 75 this year, and she credits her job with keeping her active and engaged with her friends and community. Sharron is the social connector for many seniors who live in the area. She draws them in to socialize over coffee, food and great company.

It is critical for seniors to stay healthy and remain involved in their communities. Two days shy of International Day of Older Persons, I was thrilled to present Sharron with two certificates, one commemorating her 75th birthday and the other acknowledging her incredible year career at McDonald’s. He leaves behind two teenage children and will forever be remembered as a larger-than-life personality who got along with everyone and cared deeply for his community.

Constable Travis Gillespie of the York Regional Police was killed in a collision with an alleged impaired driver on September Emergency services personnel around Canada put their lives on the line every day to protect their communities and keep Canadians safe.

As a retired police officer of the York Regional Police, and as someone who currently has a son-in-law in policing, I offer my sincere condolences to the families and friends affected by these tragedies.

We will always remember their sacrifice. MPs are elected as members of a political party and sit as a caucus. As such, each member has a tremendous amount of support when it comes to communications, but speakers leave those teams and can no longer count on that network, so the need to have an effective communications director is all the more important.

Heather was an absolute joy to work with. Her extensive knowledge of the precinct, members and historical precedence was invaluable. Her ability to interact with journalists, and the trust she had built with all parties over the years, was essential in assisting the Speaker as part of a non-partisan office in the backdrop of a highly partisan environment. I could always count on her for excellent advice, from issues of the board to the modernization of disclosure.

She was there for Parliament’s big move out of Centre Block, and, of course, the tragic shooting that occurred there.

She was always calm, thoughtful and rational, and had an impeccable track record of honesty and transparency. I would like to thank Heather for her many years of service to Parliament, supporting speakers dating back to I also would like to thank her husband, Mike, and her boys, Nick, Jake and Sam, for lending her to us.

We are all the better for it. I wish her all the best in her retirement. Brewing beer here from locally grown barley and other grains predates Confederation by over years and remains a source of pride for Canadians as a symbol of Canada around the world. Widely known as a drink of moderation and of social gatherings, beer helps bring neighbours together and is a part of celebrations of important life milestones.

Canadian beer is now brewed from coast to coast to coast in communities large and small, and it is a true Canadian agri-food success story that should be celebrated and protected for future generations. I say cheers to beer’s economic, social and community contributions, and happy Canadian Beer Day. Sharing a beer with one’s friends is one of life’s great pleasures, and it should remain an affordable activity for generations to come. Sadly, this is no April Fool’s joke, but every April 1, our favourite pints will be hit with an automatic Liberal escalator tax.

Even without a vote in this place, beer is going to get more expensive. Raise a glass and thank a Liberal for making it more expensive today. People may not believe it, but it is Trudeau. If everyone would raise their glass, we will say cheers to the Liberals for making beer more expensive. The hon. Conservatives understand that when Fort McMurray works, Alberta works.

When Alberta works, Canada works. Only Conservatives are fighting for pipelines and energy corridors to secure the long-term viability of Alberta energy and to get Alberta energy to the world. Conservatives will repeal Liberal anti-energy laws and replace them with a law that will protect our environment, consult first nations and get things built.

We will support economic reconciliation with indigenous communities and, within five years, we will set a goal to end dirty dictator oil in Canada altogether. We will not back down from politicians in this country and in this chamber who seek to land-lock and firewall our energy, leaving our workers without jobs. Canada and the world need Alberta energy. In Montreal, I joined thousands on the streets who called for freedom and justice.

Mahsa Amini was a vibrant year-old Iranian woman. She was arrested by Iran’s morality police and died a short while after, while in custody. According to Amnesty International, more than 75 people have been killed. More than 1, have been arrested. The government has cut off Internet access.

Iranians’ voices will not be silenced. They are being heard clearly and loudly across the globe. We must support them. We do support them in their struggle for freedom and justice.

Words of empathy are not enough. As parliamentarians, we need to do better. We must work in our constituencies to seek justice for Savanna and for all missing and murdered indigenous girls, women and two-spirit people. As parliamentarians, we need to take action. As parliamentarians, we all must take steps to end genocide. Conservatives are bringing hope to doctors, nurses and newcomers who are dreaming of coming to our country but are blocked from working in their profession simply because of the country they come from.

We will team up with the provinces to fix the broken foreign credential recognition system by guaranteeing within 60 days that immigrants applying for work in their profession will get an answer based on merit, not on their country of origin.

As Canada faces a labour shortage, we need to empower workers to fill the gaps in our workforce. Red tape and bureaucracy should not stop newcomers from achieving their dreams. Enough talking, enough empty rhetoric and enough broken promises.

It is time to remove the gatekeepers and get more doctors, nurses, skilled workers and inflation-protected paycheques for our hard-working and skilled immigrants.

That person is Heather Bradley, Director of Communications at the Office of the Speaker, who is leaving us after 28 years of service to begin her well-deserved retirement. Throughout her time on Parliament Hill, Heather Bradley has served five Speakers over 10 parliaments. She has seen it all. Despite the often hectic pace of the House, she has been calm, competent and always kind.

Our success as parliamentarians depends on the quality of the staff who support us. Bradley was one of the best. I thank Heather for her service. She leaves behind a legacy of excellence and hundreds of grateful colleagues who will miss her.

In my role, I was privileged to receive advice from Heather, a consummate professional with the gift of wisdom, intelligence and tact. Heather has that singular gift of great leadership to steer one in the right direction without feeling pushed in any way. Under Heather’s leadership, we also achieved greater transparency and efficiency in our communications.

She helped Speakers of the House fulfill their roles more effectively and become more informed about parliamentary procedure and traditions. Heather almost always had the answers, and if not, she knew exactly who to talk to. Her contact list was amazing, a veritable who’s who of Parliament Hill. We thank Heather for her decades of service.

We hope that retirement brings her time to enjoy her beautiful family and many friends, as well as time to reflect on the legacy of excellence, kindness and everything else that she brought to this place. How much will groceries cost families when the Prime Minister implements his plan to triple the carbon tax again and again and again?

How much will this family have to spend on carbon taxes when the Prime Minister triples them? He wants to triple the tax, increasing the cost for that farmer, who then has to pass it on to the customer. It means that more of our food will be produced abroad and shipped up here, polluting more of our environment by shipping, training and trucking that food.

Again, will he answer the question? How much will this family have to spend on carbon taxes once he has tripled them? At the same time as we have moved forward with ensuring that it is not free to pollute anywhere in this country, we are putting more money back into average families’ pockets with the climate rebate.

This is the focus we need to continue to have for Canadians. If he cannot tell us how much the tax will cost, will he tell us how much carbon he emitted in the month of July when he was raising taxes? People know we need to take action on that, and that is exactly what this government has done by putting a price on pollution to ensure that it is no longer free to pollute anywhere in the country and by giving more money back to families that need it. When is the Conservative leader going to get serious on climate change?

Why does the Prime Minister want to drive prices and emissions up, and farm production and opportunity down? We are going to stay focused on fighting climate change and putting more money back into Canadians’ pockets.

That is what Canadians expect. That is what we are going to keep doing. The Quebec government wants more power in matters of immigration, while some want all immigration powers and others, like us, want to have absolutely all the power, period. Let us look at the first scenario, more powers in immigration. The Quebec lieutenant said yesterday that Quebec has all the powers it needs.

Meanwhile, the French language is in decline while English is flourishing. Does this government see that as a successful language policy for Quebec?

With regard to immigration, Quebec already has all the tools it needs to increase francophone immigration, if it wants to do so. Quebec has those tools, and we will gladly work with that province to end the labour shortages and help communities grow while also protecting the French language. Has he thought about discussing this with a premier who holds about three-quarters of the seats in Quebec rather than pretending to be his best friend from a distance?

If Quebec wants to bring in more francophone immigrants, we are there to help. We know that businesses across Quebec are facing a labour shortage, we know that immigrants are needed for economic growth, and we also know that immigrants deeply enrich Quebec life.

We will always be there to work hand in hand to improve the lives of all Quebeckers. On the one hand, we have the Minister of Environment and Climate Change who wants to protect the profits of big oil companies, and, on the other hand, we have the CEO of Shell who says that, to help people, the government must force big oil companies to pay their fair share. Those were the first things we did when we took office and it is what we have continued to do every day for the last seven years.

We will always be there to ask for a little more from the wealthy, to help the middle class and to create more prosperity and more opportunities for all Canadians. It was definitely not the leader of the Conservative Party. It was certainly not the Minister of Environment. It was the CEO of Shell. How is it possible that the CEO of Shell is more interested in helping people deal with the cost of fuel than the Prime Minister? That is what Canada can do, and that is why we are going to ensure that successful corporations pay their fair share of taxes and that we continue to support low-income Canadians and middle-class Canadians, including with our measures on a GST rebate and our measures on rental and dental support for Canadians.

We look forward to working with all parties on those issues. What Canadians are continuing to see come out of Hockey Canada is absolutely unacceptable. Parents across the country, like me, who have had kids in hockey, families and young kids care about hockey in this country.

We know that we need to see a better organization than that. Hockey Canada’s tone deafness to the fact that it has lost the confidence of Canadians needs to end, which is why we stopped funding it and why we are calling for change.

I am asking the Prime Minister why, for four years, the so-called feminist government did absolutely nothing when it had the power to do something and had the information in its hands. Now, unlike what the Prime Minister is saying, that is not revenue-neutral. They will get pennies back through the Liberal rebate. I have heard from farmers across the country who have said that if the Liberals triple the carbon tax, it will bankrupt them.

Will the Prime Minister cancel his plans to triple this tax on Canadian farm families like Michel and Jeannette? On top of that, we are working with the agricultural industry, which recognizes how important it is to protect our environment and protect our planet. We are ensuring that families, including farm families, can continue to succeed in the coming years, even as we fight against climate change.

Does the Prime Minister understand that by tripling the carbon tax, the end result will be no fertilizer, no farms and no food? These two measures are concrete and will help Canadian families. Will he now support renters and the dental support that Canadians need? That is something tangible we should all be able to agree on. Across Quebec, families are cutting back on their groceries to pay for other bills. The Prime Minister wants to triple the carbon tax, which will only increase these costs.

They should also support our dental care benefit and our assistance for renters. We are here to help Canadians. I would now ask the Conservatives whether they will also support our proposals to help low-income renters and help low-income families with dental care for their children.

We know how meaningful this help will be for families. Will the Conservatives finally support us on this? The humanitarian thing to do would be to have migrants come in through regular border crossings, not put them in handcuffs and expose them to human smugglers and criminals. Would it not be better to invest half a billion dollars or more to hire qualified staff at the Department of Immigration rather than spend it on walls?

Would that not be the humanitarian thing to do rather than send them back or deport them after they have made a good life for themselves in Quebec or in Canada? Every step of the way, we ensure respect for Canada’s foundational principles and values. We work with the U. When people come to Canada, we make sure we follow the rules and protect them at the same time. We are here to support Quebec, which is doing a lot of work in relation to Roxham Road.

We will always stand up for our values and our system. I will now talk about trios. In Quebec, there are now three big political players. On immigration and the French language, the Prime Minister is in the minority there too. Is Roxham Road not a humanitarian issue that sometimes gives the government ideological comfort when, in reality, it is a way of giving money and contracts to friends of the Liberal Party?

Furthermore, they must not allude to the presence or absence of a member in the House. We know that members sometimes have commitments outside the House. A member’s absence from the House does not mean that they are not doing their job; they may be fulfilling other responsibilities.

The reality is that we have a labour shortage. We need to create population growth, and we will welcome even more immigrants. The reality is that we must do so using a fair and rigorous system that is rooted in our values. That is what we always try to do. When they do triple the tax, how much will it cost across Canada to buy a litre of gas? How much will eastern Canadian rural families be forced to pay in higher taxes on their home heating when the Prime Minister triples the carbon tax?

The fact is we need to continue to step up in the fight against climate change, which is something Conservative politicians do not seem to understand. The model we have of putting a price on pollution returns more money every year to families who need it.

That is the model we have. That is how we are helping Canadians as we fight climate change. That is what our plan to fight climate change does. The Conservative Party chooses to deny that climate change exists and refuses to put forward a plan to fight climate change. That is not what Atlantic Canadians, or indeed any Canadians, need. Why does the Prime Minister want to drive pollution up, farm production out and jobs down? That is why we need to be better stewards of the land all together, which is why we are moving forward with a strong plan to fight climate change that includes supports for farm families and supports for the agricultural industry as we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and as we create good jobs and a good future for all Canadians.

My question is to the Prime Minister. Does he agree with the Bank of Canada that employers should not be increasing wages to keep up with inflation? We know that corporate greed is driving up the cost of living. Will the Prime Minister tackle corporate greed?

At the same time, in this House, we have a responsibility to be delivering for Canadians, which is why we are moving forward with a GST credit that is going to help millions of Canadian families, and moving forward with support for renters and dental support for low-income families that I certainly hope, like the NDP, the Conservatives will choose to support.

Can the Prime Minister please address why we need to fight climate change? In order for us to continue the fight against climate change, the leader of the Conservative Party needs to accept some core facts, like that climate change is real and we have to keep doing more to fight it.

We will continue to hold this bloodthirsty regime to account as young Iranians, and people around the world with them, stand in defence of their fundamental rights and freedoms. This group killed 55 Canadian citizens, whose only crime was to get on a plane, whereafter they were shot out of the sky by a terrorist organization that can still legally operate in Canada because the Prime Minister has not put it on the list of terrorists. We will continue to sanction the leadership of the IRGC as we make sure that it is fully accountable for the crimes it is committing.

The Prime Minister has as his primary job to protect our citizens. Fifty-five of them were murdered by this terrorist group, which shot their plane out of the sky, a civilian aircraft.

Does the Prime Minister believe that the group that fired that missile and killed our people is a terrorist group, yes or no? The Prime Minister has had 1, days to think about the answer. His officials informed him that this group murdered our citizens, yet by failing to list the group as terrorists, he is allowing it to raise money, coordinate, plan, operate and recruit right here on Canadian soil. It is not banned from doing any of those things. One last time, will the Prime Minister show some respect and actually answer a question?

Is this a terrorist group, yes or no? We will continue to stand up in support of the Iranian people, who are so bravely contesting and protesting against this bloodthirsty regime. The young women who are waving their hijabs in the face of these criminals and the strength that they are showing every single day in standing up for their rights is something that all Canadians stand with together. An independent inquiry would allow us to finally get to the bottom of this, as well as get some concrete recommendations that could apply to all sport federations.

Will the Prime Minister finally launch an independent inquiry, or does he want to continue to wait for the results of an internal investigation by a tone-deaf organization? It is inconceivable that Hockey Canada officials think they can continue to operate. All federal funding has been suspended.

I think the only people who believe that Hockey Canada has any kind of future are the folks at Hockey Canada, because Canadians have completely lost faith in that organization. Hockey Canada officials need to wake up and they need to stop doing their job. They must be replaced—. They have cut all ties, including financial, with Hockey Canada. The hope is that this will put pressure on the organization to clean house from the top down. The Prime Minister has to step up the pressure.

In order to be credible, he must launch an independent, public inquiry into Hockey Canada’s handling of sexual misconduct complaints. The top brass needs to know that everything they have done will be uncovered and made public.

I am urging the Prime Minister to act. If he wants to clean house and get things done, when will he launch a real independent investigation? We will always be very clear that Hockey Canada’s actions have been unacceptable. The sooner they understand that it is time for them to get off the ice, the better for all our children who want to continue to play hockey, but whose parents no longer trust the organizations that are connected to Hockey Canada.

On the east coast, we are tough but people need this support now. When will the Prime Minister have a concrete plan for Atlantic Canadians? We will be there. We will be there to support Atlantic Canadians as I have said. We will be there across the board to support Atlantic Canadians. Margarets, CPC :. The Prime Minister ‘s sad, inadequate hurricane relief program would not even cover the cost of rebuilding wharves.

If the Prime Minister had a fisheries minister, he would know that the most immediate problem is income lost for lobster fishermen in the Northumberland Strait.

That is because the season is over now and they cannot fish again until the winter fishery. Why is there no immediate emergency income relief support for fishermen in Nova Scotia, P. What I have said repeatedly to Atlantic Canadians and to their premiers is that we are there as partners. We are flowing money now. We will be flowing money for the years to come. The federal government is there to help rebuild. We will do everything necessary in order to get people’s lives back in order.

That is the promise I made directly to folks on the ground. That is a promise I am happy to repeat here in the House. Why is the current Prime Minister letting down Atlantic Canadians who have put so much trust in him? We will be there to help rebuild. Reports show that they are more likely to experience violence than any other Canadian. At yesterday’s gathering on Parliament Hill, families and survivors called on our government to support their healing and justice initiatives.

Could the hon. Prime Minister update us on what is being done to end this crisis? We will always stand with communities and families in responding to this crisis, and we will continue to work on concrete measures, while ensuring that our initiatives are trauma-informed and focused on those who are still suffering. We know the Liberals are soft on crime. Now we know they are also soft on terrorism, as the Liberals continue to let IRGC agents plan, organize and raise money here in Canada.

These are the same people who killed our people. The Prime Minister is denying victims of Iran’s brutal regime justice. Does he believe the IRGC is a terrorist organization, yes or no? Over the past 1, days we have stood with the families of the victims of PS We will not rest until this regime is held to account for its bloodthirsty, murderous actions.

We will continue to work with the international community to get justice for the victims of PS and support for the families to hold this murderous regime to account. This is Mental Illness Awareness Week, and we need to talk about it.

We need to do more. Can the Prime Minister tell us what the government will be doing to support Canadians’ mental health? Mental health care must be treated as an integral part of our universal health care system. That is why we invested in a national suicide prevention service in crisis centres across the country.

We are getting ready to launch the line next year. Our government will keep working with all our partners to improve mental health support services available to Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Instead of doing everything they can to ensure that no more lives are lost, the Liberals have been doing only the bare minimum.

They have spent only a fraction of the funding they promised for violence-prevention initiatives and have barely implemented the calls for justice from the MMIWG2S report. The Liberals have been in power now for seven years. When will they finally start delivering the justice indigenous women, girls and two-spirit folks deserve? We understand that there is always more to do. We will continue to work urgently on it alongside indigenous people. Can the Prime Minister speak for all Canadians and officially, here in the House, call for all the Hockey Canada directors and executives to step down so that a real culture change can begin at this organization?

I know that in the coming days, more organizations will say enough is enough and will stop doing business with Hockey Canada. Maybe then Hockey Canada will realize that it is time to get off the ice.

Sophie Chatel :. We have strong, capable women ministers, and the member for South Shore—St. Margarets is saying that we do not have a fisheries minister. I am shocked. The member for Saanich—Gulf Islands is rising on a point of order. Elizabeth May :. I just want to remind everyone that when we are referring to each other, we should do so with respect and dignity so that we can keep decorum in this chamber and have Canadians respect the work we do for them. The House resumed from October 4 consideration of the motion.

The House divided on the motion, which was agreed to on the following division:. Division No. NAYS Nil. The House divided on the motion, which was negatived on the following division:. The House resumed from September 29 consideration of the motion that Bill C, An Act to amend the Criminal Code intimidation of health care professionals , be read the second time and referred to a committee.

The House resumed from October 3 consideration of the motion that Bill C, An Act to amend the Copyright Act diagnosis, maintenance and repair , be read the second time and referred to a committee. The Deputy Speaker :. Accordingly, the bill stands referred to the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology. The sustainable development goals, which Canada has signed onto, specifically call for, in goal 5, gender parity and empowerment of all women and girls.

The petitioners have a novel approach. They think, and propose to the House of Commons for our consideration, that only parties that have recognized the importance of full gender parity and have gender parity reflected in their slate of candidates in the upcoming election should be able to receive official party status.

By tying electoral success to the representation of women in this place, the petitioners believe we can finally confirm publicly, and make steps toward, reaching the goal of gender parity in the House of Commons by the year As I said in my speech on this matter last week, I truly believe that as a society we must find a way to give Canadians something without taking something away from others.

The protection of conscience rights does just this by ensuring lawmakers can, in good conscience, give access to certain medical procedures without unjustly compromising the existing freedoms exercised by others.

Of course, Canadians are calling for protection because there are incidents of coercion or intimidation with regard to medical assistance in dying and making sure that those services are provided. Not every practitioner should be obliged or forced to make this recommendation, so Canadians are calling for their protection going forward.

The petitioners are asking that subsection 2 a of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which protects freedom of conscience, be respected in this regard. The first is a petition calling on the Parliament of Canada to enshrine in the Criminal Code the protection of conscience rights for physicians and other medical professionals regarding coercion or intimidation over participating in medical assistance in dying. The petitioners note that coercion, intimidation or other forms of pressure intended to force physicians and health care workers to become parties in assistance in dying is a violation of the fundamental freedom of conscience, and that subsection 2 a of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of conscience.

The petitioners are petitioning Health Canada to review the fact that it is banning the use of strychnine, especially while there is no suitable replacement for this important tool that farmers have for controlling the population of Richardson’s ground squirrels.

When it is used properly, strychnine is the most effective, efficient and economical means to deal with this particular issue. Petitioners note that coercion, intimidation and other forms of pressure intended to force physicians and health care workers to become parties in euthanasia are a violation of their fundamental freedom of conscience. They also note that section 2 a of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of conscience.

Albert—Edmonton, CPC :. With the first petition the petitioners are expressing concern with the recent Supreme Court decision of Bissonnette, in which the court struck down consecutive parole ineligibility periods, a law passed by the previous Harper Conservative government to ensure that the worst of the worst killers never see the light of day.

They note that the government has tools at its disposal and are calling on the government to use those tools, most specifically the invocation of the notwithstanding clause, to override what they consider to be an unjust decision. They call on the government to reform drug policy, to decriminalize simple possession and to provide a path for the expungement of conviction records for those convicted of simple possession.

They ask the government, with urgency, to implement a health-based national strategy for providing access to a regulated and safer supply of drugs and to expand trauma-informed treatment, recovery and harm-reduction services and public education and awareness campaigns throughout Canada. The petitioners, who come from across Canada, are concerned about doctors and health care professionals who might be coerced into engaging or supporting euthanasia against their conscience.

They want these conscience rights and second options to be protected. The petitioners note that doctors deserve freedom of conscience and that the Canadian Medical Association has confirmed that conscience protection would not be a limit to their use. The petitioners also describe how, during the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying, witnesses stated that conscience rights should be protected by the government in the response to the Carter decision.

The petitioners are calling on Parliament to enshrine in the Criminal Code protection of conscience rights for physicians and health care workers from coercion or intimidation, so that they would not have to provide or refer for assisted suicide or euthanasia.

I am pleased to be presenting a petition in support of an initiative from my colleague that we just voted on. Unfortunately it was voted down, but I was pleased that all Conservative members stood strong in support of protecting conscience rights.

This petition recognizes conscience protections that exist in our charter and, at the same time, the reality that in certain provinces, substantively, conscience is not actually protected, in that physicians may be forced to refer for or provide services that go against their deeply held conscientious beliefs.

Whether those beliefs have their origin in a faith tradition or they do not have their origin in a faith tradition, protection of conscience should be available for all, regardless of the origin or philosophical basis of those beliefs.

Petitioners want to call on Parliament to enshrine in the Criminal Code the protection of conscience for physicians and health care workers from coercion or intimidation to refer for or provide assisted suicide or euthanasia. It also found that fewer than one in three people with current mental health concerns and fewer than one in four with problematic substance use are accessing services. The report identified the key barriers to accessing services: financial constraints, not having readily available help, not knowing how and where to get help, and long wait lists.

The report identified financial concerns as a top stressor during the pandemic and discussed the links of income and unemployment with mental health concerns. With the rapidly rising cost of living and speculation of an impending recession, there is a real risk that the mental health and substance use crisis will worsen in the months ahead.

We also know that medical professionals have been raising the alarm for months that our health care system is on the brink of collapse. As we head into colder months, when the burden on hospitals and health care workers is expected to increase, a worsening mental health and substance use crisis will only push our health care system closer to the edge.

As such, I believe an urgent debate by parliamentarians is warranted on the steps that should be taken to support the mental health of Canadians and reduce the social and economic impacts of this crisis.

Resuming debate, the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources. We know on this side of the House that Canadians are having a difficult time right now. Many of them are certainly feeling the rising cost of living, no matter where they live in this country. Those living in the north are probably seeing those costs escalate at a higher rate and by a larger margin, as many others in northern Canada can attest, but it is happening throughout the country, whether it is higher food prices or higher prices on other commodities, especially building materials, for example.

I have heard so many people talk about not being able to do maintenance and repairs on their homes because of the doubling and tripling costs of building materials. I have heard many stories from families living on low incomes, who are having difficulty meeting the food security needs within their families. The one we hear quite often is the rising cost of fuel services, vehicles and the purchasing of all commodities in people’s lives. For those who travel because they have kids who participate in many events across the country, in sports, in theatre and in student exchanges, participation in all of these things is costing more every single day.

We know that affordability is getting more difficult for many families, but we also know there is a limit as a government in terms of what we can do. We have introduced targeted measures that we hope will make it a little easier for so many families in this country. One of them that I want to talk about today is the doubling of the GST credit for six months, as is proposed in this bill. By doing that, we are allowing many families with lower incomes to have extra money that will enable them to meet some of the demands and needs for household costs they are currently having to deal with.

I know, for example, there are many families across my riding, especially many seniors, who are on the low-income spectrum and having to run their homes and families. I know this will make a huge difference for them.

Having that extra money coming in over that six-month period will certainly help them get to where they need to be. This will help them through this critical period of time, and it is a necessary investment by the government right now. I know we often take tremendous criticism on this side of the House for investing in programs that are supporting food security, heat security, children and families, but we do not make any apologies for this, because we know that in the time we are in, this financial assistance is totally necessary.

I hear from so many seniors in my riding who live on low incomes and are experiencing challenges with the higher food prices and with the ordinary cost of running their homes.

I know this plan of doubling the GST credit for the next six months is going to make a huge difference to them. The other thing we are doing with the cost of living relief act is that we would bring in the Canada dental benefit.

This is a benefit that would allow many families who have no health insurance coverage for dental care to get the dental services they need for their children under the age of Those children would be able to access dental services as a result of this legislation. This would start this year. The next phase of the program would ensure seniors have dental coverage and that other Canadians have the coverage they need for dental care, depending on their income levels.

It is expected that under this particular program over , Canadian children would benefit. I know a lot of people are wondering how the benefit would work, how it would be paid out and how long it would take for the first stage of the government’s plan to deliver coverage for families and get to the next level of care, which would be for seniors.

I want to confirm the provinces and territories and private industry have all been engaged with regard to timelines, the longevity of the program and how it would roll out. The government remains committed to implementing this dental care program. This is going to have a huge impact on many families and children. I remember growing up in the north in a community with no dental services, and we had to fly out for those services.

If a child would go to a hospital with a toothache, the first thing they would do is pluck the tooth and not provide any other dental care. We have moved way beyond that in Canada. Looking after the dental needs of kids helps prevent other diseases and illnesses. I know I am going to run out of time but I would like to tell a very short story. A lady was having many problems with her back, and doctors could not figure out what it was. They eventually determined she had a disease of her teeth and gums that was affecting all her body and causing infections that were causing so many other illnesses.

It just goes to show that, if a person looks after their teeth and their dental hygiene, it can provide much better health outcomes for children and for all people in the population.

These are good moves that help with affordability for many families. I hope my colleagues will support the bill. I want to know what the parliamentary secretary thinks of that particular concern that Canadians have raised. Yvonne Jones :. What I can say is that, from our projections, this will be able to support about 11 million Canadians with regard to additional income under the GST program.

This is a fairly simple bill that gets right to the point. I think it is a good measure that will in fact give low-income Canadians a break in this time of inflation.

My colleague spoke of seniors in her speech. We know that retired seniors are on a fixed income and that those who have a very low income receive the guaranteed income supplement.

I would like to know if my colleague thinks it would be a good idea not to reduce this benefit payment so seniors can get a break. First of all, for any seniors who are under the threshold, in terms of what their supplementary allowances provide them in Canada based on their incomes, it did not change. While there was extra money paid out and extra benefits paid out, most of the people who were impacted were people who had other smaller pensions coming in from the side, so their cumulative income reached a different threshold level with that bump in payment.

What I can say is that very few seniors in this country who are dependent upon supplementary benefits have any room at all to make adjustments in their budgets. Their incomes are very fixed and they have very little room in terms of other escalating costs that may be happening in their lives. I think increasing the GST for many of these people will be a tremendous help for them, going forward. It is great in this House to see the Liberals come on board and support the doubling of the GST tax credit.

Even the Conservatives and the Bloc, all parties, are getting on board so this is an exciting moment. My colleague talked about dental care, which she voted against a year ago. It is great to hear the Liberals get on board with dental care. Unfortunately, even if companies were granted permits to move their fish, they have very little space at existing saltwater growout facilities for most of these smolts. With no locations to transfer them to, companies have no alternative but to euthanize them.

The difference is a significant financial one. If the The goal was to investigate the decline of sockeye salmon stocks and provide recommendations. On September 30, , the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans should prohibit net-pen salmon farming in the Discovery Islands fish health sub-zone unless he or she is satisfied that such farms pose at most a minimal risk of serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon. The scientific research and risk assessments completed by DFO in response to recommendation 19 focused on the risk of marine net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Island area to migrating Fraser River Sockeye salmon.

The assessments concluded that the pathogens found in Atlantic salmon farms in the Discovery Islands area pose no more than a minimal risk to migrating Fraser River Sockeye salmon.

More detailed information on the risk assessment process can be found here. Science advice from this process included several measures that have since been initiated and implemented through DFO management and science activities. The assessment provided scientific advice on sea lice management measures, monitoring, and interactions between cultured and wild fish. Sea lice dynamics are influenced by salinity and water temperature which affect survival, growth, development rate, and reproductive success of sea lice , water movement tides and currents , behaviour of infective larval stages and motile pre-adult and adult stages, and the abundance and proximity of suitable fish hosts.

Additionally, there is a wide range of susceptibilities to sea lice infestation among Pacific salmon species; and Atlantic salmon are generally more susceptible to sea lice infestation than Pacific salmon species.

Scientists have has demonstrated that risk posed by sea lice to wild salmon diminishes with increased fish size. Laboratory study results indicate both size and species-specific resistance to sea lice in juvenile salmon, and laboratory studies have also shown that lethal sea lice numbers is species and size dependent. The data from these lab studies provides an opportunity to better understand natural infections, and the development of lethal infection density thresholds could potentially be useful as a management tool.

Despite this body of work, DFO has now committed to completing a risk assessment focused on sea lice. Salmon farm conditions of license were reviewed and updated by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in They specify area-based and site-specific sea lice monitoring requirements for each farm. During the non-migration period, each farm must conduct a sea lice count on the farmed salmon at least once per month — and submit the results to DFO by the 15th of the following month.

If the count exceeds the threshold of 3 motile sea lice per fish, the farm must notify DFO within 7 days — and conduct sea lice counts every 2 weeks thereafter as long the the count continues to exceed 3 lice per fish.

During the pre-migration window, 2 sea lice counts must be conducted — with results submitted to DFO within 48 hours of each counting event. If either of these counts reveal over 3 motile sea lice per fish, DFO must be notified — and presented with a plan describing the measures that will be taken to ensure that sea lice levels are below the threshold level by the start of the out-migration window.

In addition, sea lice counts must be conducted every 2 weeks thereafter as long as sea lice levels continue to exceed 3 lice per fish. During the out-migration window, sea lice counts must be conducted within the first week of the window — and once every 2 weeks thereafter. The results of each counting event must be submitted to DFO by the 15th of the following month.

If the sea lice count exceeds the threshold of 3 lice per fish, DFO must be notified within 48 hours — and a plan must be presented describing the sea lice management measures that will be undertaken to reduce sea lice levels below the threshold level within 42 days.
