Madam Speaker, by working with like-minded partners, we can help uphold human rights, defend democracy and strengthen the rules-based international order. On the world stage, our government has been working hard on strengthening our international relationships and trade. We have advanced engagement with Vietnam, India, the Philippines and ASEAN partners, among others. We are on track to doubling [more]

Mr. Speaker, that was a fantastic speech by my colleague. We are both representatives of the incredible city of Toronto. One of the pain points in Toronto in terms of affordability is around child care. I am wondering if the member could speak to how and what we are doing as a government to ensure that families have access to such important economic infrastructure.

C-219 Madam Speaker, I rise in the House today to speak to Bill, the Sergei Magnitsky international anti-corruption and human rights act.

Mr. Speaker, I might have a slight obsession with Professor Mazzucato's work. I think the emphasis on real principles around how we operate toward the common good is really critical: transparency, co-design and collaboration. She has a new book that has just been released. It sends some signals to me about the ways we can use government to catalyze the best interests of us all.

Mr. Speaker, I think this approach of making sure that we put the steps in place to get to the right decision, but knowing that the work, the assessments, all of those pieces are still there as part of the process, allows us to move with the speed and the efficiency that we are looking for in order to make the investments that we need for our future.

Mr. Speaker, as a mom of two kids, I am often thinking about the future that we are building for this country. I strongly believe that we are finding an approach and a process that allows us to move more quickly while still putting the work in place to do the assessments and make sure that the rigour is in place for us to move forward on these major projects.

C-39 Mr. Speaker, I rise today in this chamber to speak to Bill, the building Canada strong act. Over the past year, our government has been hard at work for Canadians at one of the most pivotal moments in our history. We continue to respond to the threats against our economy and to the social vulnerabilities that Canadians face every day. The trade war with the United States and recent tariffs [more]

Mr. Speaker, I think it is really important to recognize that the bill would address changes in governance as well to the ports and other parts of the ecosystem. In terms of making sure that those assessments are done appropriately and well, we are getting to a decision point about whether to move forward. This does not mean that all of the work is completed, but all of those efforts are going to [more]

Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to recognize Paula Lukey, founder of Havyn, a woman-owned business in my riding of Spadina—Harbourfront. When the economy weakens, it is often small businesses that feel it the most. They carry the pressure of high costs and decisions that are far beyond their control. Despite this, it is the small businesses in our communities that are leading the way. In [more]

I can repeat the question. It was about what was working well in the rapid housing initiative—

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses, Ms. Torres, Mr. Harris and Ms. Hannaburg, for being here today. Mary, thank you for sharing. I know those are really tough conditions to be living under. We recognize that there is work to be done, so thank you for sharing with us.

Tell me what we're getting right when we do that well.
