QuestionForeign Affairs

Mr. Speaker, Donald Trump's attack on Iran is not only illegal and causing death and destruction but spreading economic chaos around the globe. Canadians are now seeing sky-high gas prices, and the cost of products from fertilizers to food are going to soar, bringing pain to every household. Economists predict that the world will face massive turmoil for years to come. Prime Minister What does [more]

StatementForeign Affairs

Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, in Davos, thedeclared that Canada will live the truth by acting consistently, applying the same standards to allies as to rivals.

I seek UC to withdraw that amendment as well.

That is the foundation of our constitutional system. It's also Parliament's responsibility to scrutinize spending and the activities of the executive branch of government. C-15 In my view, I don't think [more]

Mar 11, 2026

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would once again ask my colleagues for the opportunity to speak briefly to urge committee members to vote against this.
