Thank you, Mr Speaker.

I'm very glad to be speaking to this pressing issue that has really got Canadians glued to their televisions.

The convoy has been really all over Ottawa and across every major city in Canada.

We've even seen it spread to other countries around the world.

I'm very, very glad that after two long years of division on COVID,

that we're finally beginning to debate this important matter in this historic House of Democracy.

I did want to begin my remarks by actually I forgot to say this right off the bat

but I'll be splitting my time with the member from Megantec et L'Arables.

So I did want to begin my speech a little bit

about talking about what kind of politician I think you have to be to make a difference in this place.

And I think every MP in this house has a bit of a different style.

And when I first came here I really,

for me I wanted to be a bridge builder.

And that really came from where I grew up

and where I went to university university i grew up in

a small farming community in rural manitoba to four generations of canadian farmers

so i had very entrenched rural prairie upbringing and values

and then i went to university at mcgill university in montreal a very prestigious elite liberal sort of university

and i met kids from all over the world with all different political views

and world views and really got a incredible experience learning about how other people think about the world

and i did find that that often while parties will disagree and someone will say,

I'm a staunch Liberal, I'm a staunch Conservative,

I'm a staunch NDP, there's actually a lot more that we have in common.

And something that I found that all parties,

I believe, at their core have in common,

is that they do believe that all Canadians and all people of this world deserve to be treated with dignity,

compassion, and respect.

And so that's how I approach these divisive issues that we as MPs encounter all the time,

and they're never easy to talk about.

They're very difficult issues.

And I look to try to build a bridge so

that we can come together as Canadians and agree on a peaceful path forward.

And that's how I've been trying to look at the very divisive situation in Ottawa right now.

And what I'd really like to see is a Prime Minister who calls for national unity.

Last week I spoke in the House about a lot of the division that we're seeing in the country

between east versus west, rural versus urban,

and particularly now during the pandemic.

And we have heard so much trauma from our constituents.

If there's any member in this house that does not believe Canadians have been through trauma these past two years,

they clearly have not been doing their job and listening to their constituents, Mr. Speaker.

It has been horrific, the things that I've heard.

We hear young children who are so depressed they don't want to eat.

Eating disorders are through the roof.

We've heard seniors

and elderly in our care homes who've opted for medical assistance

in dying rather than live one more month through isolation in care homes.

I have had widowed elderly women call

and cry to me on the phone of how lonely they are and they don't want to go on.

I've had grown men who've called me crying because their businesses are falling apart.

We know divorces, abuse at home, alcohol dependency, drug dependency.

All of these terrible things are up in our country because people are just trying to cope and are breaking down.

So from that perspective, I don't really see what's going on across the country as all that surprising.

To me, it seems like an eruption of something that's been simmering of pain and trauma and frustration for two long years.

and governments have not been listening to that pain and trauma.

Despite having rapid tests, vaccines and all different types of tools and scientific knowledge,

governments have repeatedly relied on harsh lockdown measures and divisive mandates to control this virus.

Meanwhile, we are seeing a Prime Minister who today got up in the House

and again othered Canadians who don't agree with him.

This is a man for six years who said diversity is our strength,

but if anybody doesn't agree with everything he says,

you're in the bad books and you don't get a chance to be heard.

You don't have a right to be heard.

And again, last week I brought to the floor of the House of Commons remarks that $600 million unnecessary election.

He said so many times before he called that election,

vaccines for all those who want them,

vaccines for all those who want them.

It's a choice.

He said that repeatedly.

He must have said it a thousand times.

And then within days of calling that election,

he was yelling into a microphone at a liberal rally that you have the right not to get vaccinated,

but you don't have the right to sit next to someone who is. so to me

that doesn't really seem like someone what did he say in

his remarks today he said this is not a fight against

one another it's a fight against the virus those remarks mr speaker suggest very different very different

so when it comes to an election and scoring political points

and winning votes the prime minister is very happy to divide canadians and pit them against each other

for their different personal health use.

I, for one, am sick and tired of seeing politicians use this as an evil wedge tool to rip Canadian families apart.

I can't tell you how much anger and tears I saw in the last election.

That was six months ago.

And now it's even worse.

Neighbours won't talk to each other.

I mean, Christmas family dinners.

I mean, even if there wasn't lockdowns during Christmas,

it's almost a nightmare to get families in the same room now.

If there's one person who doesn't share their views,

I mean, it's a nightmare.

Colleagues at work.

Again, last week I shared the story of a social worker,

a young mom I met during the pandemic on her friend's step.

She was sharing with me a story that she got Hero of the Year Award last year.

And this year, she had gone above and beyond to help people during a pandemic.

Before there was vaccine, she stepped up Hero of the Year at her job.

And now she said no one would talk to her

and she was going to get fired because of one personal health choice that she made.

As much as others tried,

there was no convincing this woman otherwise.

And I just, I don't know how public health officials and public officials get behind policies that do that to Canadians.

100

We are one of the most vaccinated countries in the world.

101

And this government continues to use it as a bludgeon to get people to submit to their policies.

102

I've never thought that entering politics two and a half years ago at a federal level,

103

we would see a government that was so keen to divide Canadians on something so deeply personal.

104

And as I've said before,

105

and I'll say it again,

106

I denounce any hateful and violent act outside.

107

Whoever is up to no good,

108

who's ever up to that kind of mischief and that kind of hateful rhetoric and those actions,

109

shame on you.

110

But what I'm seeing across the country is people mobilizing

111

because their governments have not listened to them for two years they've been experiencing trauma for two years

112

and no one is listening to them.

113

So what choice do they have left?

114

These people have all emailed their MPs.

115

They've called them.

116

They've been turned down by their MPs.

117

I'm sure there's members of the public from Papineau,

118

from the Prime Minister's riding,

119

who've reached out, who have a different perspective on this,

120

who've been traumatized and fired from their jobs for a personal health choice.

121

There are millions of Canadians,

122

millions of them, that have been deeply ostracized from society.

123

And when you don't listen to those people, they mobilize.

124

And we've seen protests across this country for over a century.

125

And rightfully so, we have the right to peacefully protest.

126

And I would ask the protesters outside that they do their best and stay vigilant to stay peaceful.

127

But we are seeing other governments around the world step up with lower vaccination rates and say,

128

look, we hear you.

129

You've been traumatized.

130

We're moving forward.

131

Here's the deadline.

132

This is the plan.

133

No more mandates.

134

No more masks.

135

No more distancing.

136

You can travel.

137

You can live your life.

138

You can hug each other again.

139

Here's the date.

140

This is the plan.

141

Here's the threshold.

142

None of that in Canada.

143

Absolutely none of that from the Prime Minister.

144

people have been traumatized and they're mobilizing

145

because they need some hope they need somebody in this house of privilege to come down from our ivory towers

146

and say okay little people we hear you

147

so sorry we've traumatized you for two years we're going to step up

148

and we're going to give you some hope here's a deadline

149

the member opposite is laughing the people in this house are incredibly privileged you've kept pardon me

150

that member has kept his job thousands of Canadians have lost their job and he's laughing about his own privilege.

151

What has he done to serve members that are marginalized during this pandemic in his community,

152

Mr. Speaker, but laugh at them in this House of Commons?

153

Shame on that member.

154

I would ask this government to do everything they can.

155

I asked them this two years ago in the House.

156

Go to other countries, see what they're doing what are the best practices how is it

157

that other highly advanced developed nations like the uk ireland the

158

netherlands norway denmark germany sweden switzerland how the united states how is it

159

that they have all the same tools we have they have

160

all the economic resources we have they've done their citizens have done all the work

161

and made all the sacrifices why is it

162

that those citizens get a plan for hope of

163

when we get back to normal when we get our lives back

164

when the the people outside you think they want to be

165

here mr speaker those people don't want to be here they want to be working

166

but that right was taken away from them

167

when is there going to be a plan from this prime minister

168

when is there going to be compassionate leadership to say this

169

is what this is it you've done the work here's the

170

tools we're moving forward our public health doctors have told us

171

as well it's time to move forward it's time to revisit these harsh mandates and divisive policies.

172

Mr. Speaker, I will just end on this.

173

I'm very passionate about this.

174

I think we all are from our different perspectives.

175

But I will say I will continue to be a bridge builder,

176

to reach out, to try to understand where others are coming from.

177

It would just be incredible if we could see members of the Liberal Party,

178

the Prime Minister, do the same.

179

Time to build a bridge, Mr. Speaker.

180

Questions and comments?

181

Questioning comment on the honourable member for Halifax.

182

Mr. Speaker, I just want to first thank the member from Burnaby South for instigating this debate tonight and for his remarks.

183

Now, the member from Kildone and St. Paul knows that the interim Conservative leader,

184

the member from Portage-Lisgar, encouraged her party to not discourage protesters to leave,

185

but rather encouraged them to stay and make the occupation the Prime Minister's problem.

186

Shortly afterward, when confronted with the horrific and violent deeds of the occupiers,

187

their interim leader recycled Donald Trump's hateful and disgusting torn defrost.

188

There were good people on both sides.

189

And even tonight, in this very House,

190

in this very debate, that same interim leader tried to stoke the fires of division when asking the Prime Minister questions.

191

Perhaps the next thing the interim leader will say is she will tell the occupiers to stand back and stand down.

192

Mr. Speaker, the behaviour by some of the members on the side of the House of the members for Kildona

193

and St. Paul's has been repugnant as the behaviour of those out in the streets.

194

So I'd like to ask the member how in the world she believes the actions of her leader and her colleagues

195

will help to end this unthinkable and un-Canadian disaster unfolding outside of these very doors.

196

The Honourable Member for Kildona and St. Paul.

197

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

198

I appreciate the question from the member who laughed when I said that members of Parliament in this House have extraordinary privilege.

199

We've been able to keep our jobs.

200

Actually, I've never seen that member before,

201

so it's great to see him participating.

202

What I would say is that I'm very proud of our leader for stepping forward today

203

and putting forward a call to action to the Prime Minister.

204

She asked him today, will he meet with members of the other parties?

205

Will they get together, sit at a table,

206

and say, look, this is unprecedented.

207

This is an unprecedented demonstration in Canadian history.

208

It's time that you get together,

209

put partisanship aside, and work together to see how we're going to have a peaceful resolution to this.

210

As the critic for public safety,

211

the shadow minister for public safety for Canada,

212

Mr. Speaker, I am growing increasingly concerned that without a peaceful resolution

213

and compassionate leadership from this Prime Minister and that Member of Parliament,

214

that we are going to see this escalate.

215

They're just stoking the fires anyway.

216

There's pouring diesel on it,

217

so to speak, and raising the temperature with their mean language,

218

their name-calling, when they should be being responsible and lowering the temperature.

219

So that's what I'd like to see from Liberal members of Parliament and from the Prime Minister,

220

some compassionate leadership.

221

It's time to get together at the same table and talk about solutions.

222

Questions and comments?

223

Kessina Kamalpa, the Honourable Member for North Island, Powell River.

224

Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker,

225

and I want to thank the member for her speech.

226

You know, as I walk through this occupation,

227

I often reflect as the veteran spokesperson for the NDP on the people who fought for us,

228

who fought for other countries to stand up and speak out against any kind of oppression.

229

The people who fought for the freedom to have a protest in this country.

230

And I know that I just read an article today

231

that spoke about a veteran who was

232

so upset to see people parking on the tomb of the unknown soldier

233

that he went there to take pictures of those license plates

234

so that he would make sure that they were removed and that those people would be held accountable.

235

And right now in our nation's capital,

236

both that monument

237

and the Aboriginal monument are surrounded by fences to protect those monuments for the very people who fought for us,

238

for us to have the privilege to stand in this house.

239

So I'm just wondering

240

if this member could talk about where the line is to stand up against people who are causing concerning violence

241

and doing things that we should all be appalled by.

242

Thank you.

243

The Honourable Member for Kildonan St. Paul.

244

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

245

I appreciate the Member Opposite's question.

246

I think it's incumbent upon all members of Parliament to stand up against violence and bullying and divisive rhetoric.

247

And I've seen that repeatedly.

248

I have done that repeatedly,

249

particularly when, again, we see a Prime Minister of this country who for over a year

250

and a half said that vaccines for all those who want them,

251

vaccines for all those who want them and then within days of calling a $600 million unnecessary election that further divided wounded,

252

traumatized Canadians within days from saying,

253

vaccine's a choice, he said,

254

you have the right not to get vaccinated,

255

but you have no right to sit next to someone who is.

256

That's the kind of dehumanizing language that incites people and gets their temperature up and gets them mobilizing.

257

That is the type of language that is irresponsible,

258

that we need to bring down.

259

That is not a prime minister who...

260

That Prime Minister should not be saying things like that.

261

And what I would say to the NDP is,

262

you know, I'm from rural Manitoba.

263

We used to vote NDP for decades.

264

And you want to know why?

265

Because it was because the NDP stood up for the marginalized,

266

people who didn't have a voice in this privileged House of Commons.

267

Where has their voice been from the thousands of workers who've lost their jobs?

268

Where's the voice from the social worker who was too afraid to get a vaccine and lost her job?

269

Where is their advocacy for them?

270

I don't know.

271

I haven't seen it.

272

Reprise du débat.
