It would safeguard bargaining rights when contracts change hands. It would speed up grievance [more]

Mr. Speaker, Canada's new government is building Canada strong. From the time we took our seats in 2025, we have been acting with greater speed, certainty and predictability to bring projects and investments into Canada. Since last spring, Canada has signed over 20 new economic and security agreements and has advanced 27 nation-building initiatives that will support more than 337,000 jobs and [more]

Mr. Speaker, I understand the concerns the opposition member has about this. That is why this bill has built-in guardrails to safeguard against giving ministers the authority that he is talking about. Of course, when the bill goes to committee, members will have an opportunity to weigh in and give their suggestions on how to make this bill better, as the bill is still open for suggestions. I [more]

C-5 Mr. Speaker, we have been building, and if you were listening to my colleague's speech earlier, they were talking about Darlington, where shovels are in the ground at the moment.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Through you, I'll ask this question of Sandy Torres. I want to ask about your research and some of the intersectionalities. The newcomer women.... The region I am from is Durham. It's east of Toronto. It's a GTA riding. We have a lot of South Asian communities and other communities moving in, and they often face language and cultural barriers when disclosing violence or [more]

Thank you for that. To follow up, are you seeing regional differences in access to shelter and transitional housing, particularly in rural, remote or northern communities? What are the community organizations telling you about that?

Thank you. Your research further identifies indigenous women and women with disabilities as a particularly vulnerable group when adequate housing is unavailable. What should governments consider when designing housing responses for these particular populations, for women with disabilities?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Through you, hello, Mitzie. How are you? It's great to see you here. Thank you to both of the witnesses for being here today. I wanted to ask you this, Mitzie, because of your past experience in the Ontario provincial government. Ontario is the only province that does not do housing. It lets the city or the region take care of housing. In your new position, can you [more]

Thank you. This question is for Mr. Harris. What have you learned from operating both shelter services and long-term housing that could help government prevent homelessness rather than simply respond to it? I also want to add on to that to see how federal housing investments can best complement what municipalities and frontline organizations are already doing. What I'm trying to get at is this. [more]

Minister Valdez This past summer,announced the renewal of the national action plan to end gender-based violence, which is backed by an additional investment of $607.5 million over four years.
