C-9 | Watching Live Together

[00:00:01]All right. Well, hello. Hello everybody.

[00:00:04]Fatinior, have you been waiting for me?

[00:00:07][laughter] Remember that old Katherine Coleman thing? I'm not pretending to be like her, but she would always kind of open up with that. So, here we are. They are voting right now on closure closure of bill C uh C30 uh the economic update tabled in parliament. And so over the last about hour here, they were bantering back and forth about whether or not they were going to close debate on this. And they ended up just making a call. The speaker made a call, closed debate, called for a vote. We had about a half hour where all the members of parliament were loading in. And what you're seeing here on the screen right now, these are people that are voting virtually. So these are people that are not actually in the House of Commons right now. Hopefully Jacob will get in there for C9 because he is amazing. And these are other members of parliament that are voting on C the closure of C30 and uh but they are not in the House of Commons right now. Steven Gobo is still voting. I wonder when his actual end date is. He of course has stepped down.

[00:01:13]So right after this we expect they're going to pivot uh swiftly into C9.

[00:01:20]probably will be a motion to close debate on that as well. I'm not sure, but they still need to vote on the amendment and they need to vote on Andrew Lton's motion. So, there would be three votes.

[00:01:36]Uh, okay. So, Pierre Pyab is not in the House of Commons yet. Bob Zimmer, I hope he gets in there. He's amazing. It'd be great to see him. Okay, Garnet, Arnold.

[00:01:44]So, these guys are all voting electronically. I do know that some of them are are there. You know, uh Garnet Jennis was actually involved. He brought some statements uh regarding closure of debate on C30 uh bill, sorry, bill 30. And uh so he is there. Andrew Lton is voting remotely right now. I guess that means that a lot of these guys are just running into the House of Commons literally right now. Or they just got into the House of Commons. It might be that they actually missed the in-person part of the [music] voting. They might be sitting and voting from their phones in the House of Commons right now. I don't know if that's a thing. I'm assuming it is. Uh, let me know where you're from. Let me know where you're from. That was really fun last time, like being able to put up comments and all the stuff. And I love to hear the pulse of what you guys are thinking and feeling right now. But why don't we just take a minute to pray? So, Father, we thank you so much uh for the ability to engage together in this moment. And uh we just pray right now as our leaders begin to come in to get ready for the discussion, the debate, and most likely the voting on Bill C9.

[00:02:59]Um question period does begin at 2:00 Eastern Standard Time. So, that is right around the bend. that is only in 40 minutes. So, they might go into question period and then come back out and pick up again on C9. It's going to be interesting to see how this flows today.

[00:03:19]I did get a message from somebody saying that they've put a motion of closure on for C9. So, what that means is that no matter what happens, um they might want to be bringing this to a resolution today in terms of C9, even if it means them staying there till midnight. I have not been able to verify that but I have heard that. Let's see what's going on here.

[00:03:41]>> Electronic voting period has ended. If members were not able to vote because of a technical issue, they can now activate the raise hand function and the chair will recognize them.

[00:03:51]>> Gladu.

[00:03:53]>> Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The app asked me to confirm that my vote was counted as yay.

[00:04:01]>> It's confirmed.

[00:04:04]Uh >> the table the table will now compile the results of the vote.

[00:04:12]>> Frank 1682.

[00:04:19]>> I declare the motion carried.

[00:04:23]>> Orders of the day.

[00:04:25]>> Government orders. Government bills.

[00:04:28]Resuming debate on the the proceedings on Bill C30, an act to implement certain provisions of the spring economic update tabled in parliament on April 28th, 2026 and on the amendment of Mr. Dohy, >> the honorable member for Mirabel.

[00:04:49]Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

[00:04:55]We need silence, please, to be able to properly hear the member for Mirabbel.

[00:05:03]>> There's still too much noise.

[00:05:04]>> Okay, look at that. So, they're actually going back into C30.

[00:05:09]Uh, so that was uh so obviously there's still a little bit of a clock time to run >> and then they're supposed to go to C9.

[00:05:18]So, they're not they're not right on top of C9 right out of the shoot here. very very very >> so that means you got more time to make phone calls there there if you go to formycanada.com this would be the minute to be lighting up the phones on C9. So why don't we do that? Why don't we actually why don't we make some phone calls together? Would you guys like to do that? Let's let's do that. I am going to uh go here. We'll we'll keep the House of Commons running in the background here. But I'm going to go to the call list and um let me just see here how I can do this so that we can Okay, I'm going to go to the call list. I'm going to go in here. I've already made a bunch of calls. So, I think I'm actually just going to go to the bonus list right now. Let's make some phone calls together, guys. Okay, so this is the bonus list. Um, I am going to go through here and just randomly pick some folks. Okay, so here's Adam Adam van Coover Cooverin and I'm going to call his Ottawa office because I want them to get this like right now.

[00:06:31]>> Okay. So, I'm going to call >> 996704.

[00:06:39]Sorry, but >> there we go. I'm gonna be listening to debates in the background. Um, >> let's make some phone calls, guys. You can make some phone calls, too. We can all make phone calls. If all 64 84 eyeballs on this started making phone calls right now, that'd be a lot of phone calls.

[00:07:01]>> Coen, Adam. It's very important to me to do this today, especially since this is maybe the last time that I speak to this house before we adjourn for the summer.

[00:07:10]So, now that this is done, >> now that this is done, we're talking >> phone number and a detailed message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

[00:07:22]>> Thank you and have a good day.

[00:07:25]>> Hello there. My name is Fay and I'm actually calling to uh just ask the member to vote in favor of MP Andrew Lton's motion today to bring an end to Bill C9 once and for all. Uh I watched the Senate debates uh closely in at the committee level and uh firmly agree with uh the many witnesses that said that they they felt that this bill was flawed. uh very very concerned about protection for sincerely held faith beliefs and uh my vote and the vote of those that I connect with and and talk with on a regular uh will be determined uh by how this goes and I mean my vote in in the upcoming federal election whenever that is. And so I'm sure um Adam's been getting lots of phone calls on this and I just wanted to add my voice as well to those and I just ask him to protect people of faith and uh vote against C9 today. Uh vote in favor of MP Lton's motion and protect Canadians. Uh and I really thank you for taking time to listen to this call.

[00:08:35]>> Okay, that was a little bit rambly but um authentic.

[00:08:39]>> [laughter] >> I remember many members of parliament offices have said that you know authentic trumps all and so it's better just to speak from the heart regarding um your view >> instead of from a script though that was a little bit messy but messy is better than nothing. Uh 613995777 I am going to call Mr. Hussein now. Okay, let's go. Mr. Hussein, as soon as we first amendment, the very first at committee, the Liberal Party, >> you go, girl. You come with me, Ken.

[00:09:23][laughter] >> Make some phone calls. This is the minute. This is the moment.

[00:09:28]>> And that would not be discussed. The parliamentary secretary of the Minister of Finance, the member from Whitby, clearly said, "Hi, Andreas." And the first amendment, >> hi Doug.

[00:09:39]Hello and thank you for calling the office of the honorable MP.

[00:09:45]We value your call and to assist you with any federal matters. Please give your name, phone number, and a brief message after the phone and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. For quicker assistance, you can also reach us via email.

[00:09:59]Thank you for contacting us and have a great day. Record your message at the tone. When you are finished, hang up or press pound for more options.

[00:10:08]>> Hi there. This is a message for Mr. Hussein and my name is Fay. I'm just calling uh to ask him from the bottom of my heart to vote to kill Bill C9 today once and for all. Uh I'm sure your office is aware that there's been such an outcry from Canadians from C to C about this issue. I'm one of those Canadians. very very concerned about uh this bill and particularly the removal of sincerely held faith beliefs for Canadians and so we are asking uh him to vote with the many members of parliament that uh disagree with this bill in this in its current form. Um you know another bill could be brought forward to uh bring back the elements of the bill that everybody agreed upon. Uh but this this aspect of removing protection for people of faith is is really troubling and uh we appreciate your attention to this uh now that the Liberals have the majority position. Uh you know, we're aware that they no longer need the block to get other bills passed and so you guys can break ranks with this block amendment and we we really ask that that he would consider doing this and protecting people of faith. Thank you so much for taking our call and thank you for passing it on to him before the vote which could take place today. Thank you so much.

[00:11:32]>> Without doing any scientific analysis just authorize anything.

[00:11:36]>> Okay, let's uh let's call Ally next.

[00:11:41]Let's call Ally next.

[00:11:49]>> For example, Passenger complaints.

[00:11:53]>> Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. The person you're trying to reach is not available. At the tone, please record your message. When you have finished recording, you may hang up.

[00:12:03]>> Hi there. This is a message for Ally and uh my name is Fay and I'm calling today to ask him to vote against C9 today by voting in favor of uh the motion to end the bill once and for all. um not end debate on the bill, but end the bill. Um we uh are my family and I, my my friends that live in your area are really really concerned about this and particularly the removal of sincerely held faith beliefs. uh the block amendment that was put in uh the many of the witnesses at the committee level also raised concern about this and so really depending on the Liberal party today to do the right thing and protect uh people of faith and uh now that you guys have a majority we know that you're fully able to do this without uh having to worry about the block uh coming alongside you guys for for other bills. So please uh do the right thing and protect people of faith.

[00:13:05]really appreciate it and thank you for sharing this with Ally before the vote, which I understand could happen today.

[00:13:10]Thanks so much and no need to call me back.

[00:13:13]>> I don't know. It's hard to know.

[00:13:15]>> Okay, so all three of those I got through and was able to leave a message.

[00:13:20]So that means that the phones are not exploding right this second. Otherwise, uh I would have gotten a busy sign on or the the voice boxes would have been full. So, what this means is there's still opportunity to be a voice to get through and um and yeah, so there we go.

[00:13:41]That's why we're doing what we're doing.

[00:13:42]Sorry, I'm getting lots of texts here right now. I got to check on something here, guys. And I just going to ping back to the floor of the House of Commons. Looks like they're still on bill C30.

[00:13:52]And um so tempted to start answering texts right now.

[00:14:03]said, "Where in your election did you say that a public official just approve any pesticide?"

[00:14:11]>> Okay. Okay. I'm gonna need to deal with something here right now. Um, okay. So, but, uh, let's do one more call here.

[00:14:20]Actually, I just got to Sorry, guys.

[00:14:22]Just got to deal with something here.

[00:14:24]This is how it happens, right? This is how this is how we work. So, uh, we do this even in the midst of the many, many other things that we have to do. So, I just got to respond to something and then I will be right back. But, um, in the meantime, you can listen to what is happening.

[00:14:43]>> Sorry. On the floor, thinks he's the CEO. He thinks he's the CEO of Canada. And I'm not sure if he knows where the parliament is located on a map. And it's a legitimate question. I'm wondering.

[00:15:00]We don't know that. But I do know that the parliament deserves better than what's happening right now. I repeat this, Madam Speaker.

[00:15:09]When we had a minority government, they said that we had to have closure orders because this majority opposition was blocking work. Now we have majority government. We've seen this. The members at committee saw this that C30 was blocked right away because of the Liberal Party which clearly said that no amendments would be accepted and this is a very worrisome vision of our vision of our democracy. Madam Speaker, questions and comments >> for secretary the government has >> Yes. Thank you uh M madam speaker and I think to ignore the reality in terms of where we're at today uh doesn't do justice uh to many of the comments that the member has put on the record. Uh there have been numerous hours of discussions and debates. Um there is an extension of sitting uh hours in order to accommodate uh more debate. Um I have sat through now uh where debates have collapsed even within the five hour aotment. I think there's uh exaggeration that is that is taking place. Uh yes, there are some areas in which it would have been nice to have uh more debate, but equally there's been areas in which there's been an excessive amount of debate and I'm wondering if my colleague could provide his thoughts on that aspect.

[00:16:34]>> Member for Mirabel. Madam Speaker, it's a question of momentum. when you come to committee and you say we have a majority government, there's a bill and there's open openness for discussion and sometimes some things can move forward.

[00:16:51]But when you come to committee and they say all your amendments are going to go to the trash bin and and you're blocking everything and then they create a they impose a d gag order.

[00:17:07]Of course, all of the conservative amendments that were discussed uh during these 30 hours were not very intelligent. But was there a way right from the start to say that there's a compromise we can make and the public officials say it's possible. Let's move on to something else. And perhaps we could have avoided several sub amendments. They were not all useful that were tabled because people were frustrated. And I think the responsibility is u also shared with the government. The honorable member for Lur Ara. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to thank my colleague for Mirabel for his speech and he started by thanking Madame Sylvva Mur, a provincial member of parliament for her work. And I also like to thank her uh and other provincial colleagues Eric Ker who has Mario Mario Alan and Sylv Lec who has also been working for many years as at the National Assembly. Madame Speaker, my colleague quickly mentioned a point that I would like to look at closer when he said that people at Air Canada were already ready to apply rules that hadn't even been tabled yet at the parliament and not even debated or adopted yet. Can my colleague talk more about that? The honorable member for Mobal. Yes, this is a worrisome situation. When we learn this, it's obvious it it was uh in the airlines favor when people table complaints. We have to be able to give people tools. We can't take resources away and say things aren't working and then just outsource the issue. We have people, families, people who pay to for their vacations and to travel and they are victims under these rules. Uh they are facing injustice and have the right to be timely compensated and we have to ensure that we have a fair and transparent process in place and this is far from the case. Now can we re reassure us? Perhaps parliamentary debate could have given us this reassurance. Yes. But the reality is we didn't have the time at the end of C30 to ask the right questions and to ask the right questions for Canadians and now we're facing a gag order ramming this through and all of these questions will remain unanswered. The honorable member for San Golf Islands.

[00:19:32]>> Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to thank my honorable colleague, the member for Mirabal for his speech and for having recognized that I was also at committee and there for the 30 hours when the committee was debating. But it's not the fault of the members at committee. It was the problem.

[00:19:59]I'm not I think my colleague agrees with me that the root of the problem is when you have a budget bill that is an omnibus bill with hidden dispositions in it that is on another topic such as pesticides and that is why we are angry against this an idea of another gag order. The honorable member for Marbel.

[00:20:26]In terms of the airline complaints, we real said that this had no rel and it was in no way related to the pol budgetary policy. We should also for pesticides, same things. There should be a separate vote on this.

[00:20:41]We have to uh keep to the facts in our debate. And all of these motions that were presented in a dilatory fashion, I insisted on voting because I realized they didn't make any sense. It was a loss. It was a waste of time. And I think the Green Party has valid points to make at committee. They have the right to express their opinions. And on memory many aspects, we share the same concerns and and I hope that we'll she will be able to express her opinion on this. Resuming debate, the honorable member for Remoskila Matapedia.

[00:21:15]Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

[00:21:17]Allow me first to say that on this 15th of June, the block is celebrating the 35th anniversary of its creation.

[00:21:27]Uh when the Meech Leg Accord failed, um Lucian Bushar decided to give uh Quebec its own voice.

[00:21:38]He clearly said that the block kebeekqua is the only ways that we can pull away from the double legitimacy.

[00:21:48]We have two visions for our country and we just need a country within a country i.e. Quebec. 35 years later it's still the case. Every time Ottawa forgets Quebec's priorities and regions are just treated after the fact. Every time the Quebec has to remember its nation, the blocks is confirmed. And bill C30 gives us another example of this. To no great surprise, the block will vote against this bill. We will vote against it. Not because everything it contains is bad.

[00:22:23]Some measures are a step in the right direction, but a budget bill has to be judged as a whole and it does not meet the most pressing needs of our regions and of Quebec. This economic update uh is marked above all by what it does not contain. While Quebec businesses are worried about their survival and while the aluminum, steel, wood, and processing sectors are feeling the impact of a new trade of new trade barriers, the government is introducing an economic update that offers no response commensurate with the challenge in eastern Quebec. This directly affects our forestry companies, our manufacturers, and the workers who keep our communities alive. There are no support programs for the affected sectors. no real plan to protect jobs.

[00:23:13]As if this crisis could just simply wait. The block had proposed concrete measures to support sectors affected by US tariffs to help seniors protect our regional media and reform EI. But none of these proposals were adopted. Madam Speaker, we also called for correcting the injustice created between seniors aged 65 to 74 and those aged 75 and older. In a region like the Bass San Lauron, this issue is far from theoretical. At 74 years of age, groceries cost the same as they do as when you're 75. Housing costs the same as does heating. Yet Ottawa continues to treat this category of seniors differently. And for the block, there should be there should not be two categories of seniors. Our seniors have worked their whole lives. They've built our communities and they deserve to be treated fairly.

[00:24:08]We were also asking for genuine support for regional and franophhone media. In eastern Quebec, we have seen regional lose news lose ground. And even when a regional newscast is no longer broadcast from our region, it's a wakeup call.

[00:24:23]This government has chosen to back down in the face of web giants and forego revenue it could have been used to support local news culture and franophhone media. Yet this economic update includes no concrete measures to further support support regional media or protect local news. And once again that are left holding the bag.

[00:24:44]>> Okay. Hello everybody. Sorry about that.

[00:24:46]I had to take a call. We're called [gasps] could not could not wait. This is how this is. I told you it wasn't going to be polished today. This is us literally reading and reacting to what is happening in the House of Commons right now. So, they're still on C30. I thought they were going to be shooting right out of that boat into C9. They are not. So, what I'm going to do here >> again, I'm actually going to s send a couple texts and see if I can find out >> when it will be on.

[00:25:17]>> I would like to speak about employed insurance.

[00:25:19]>> So, let me do that right now. Um Let me do that right now and see if I can let you know. But in the meantime, if you're interested, let's just uh watch this and I'll try to get some clear answers for us on when exactly C9 is going to be on.

[00:25:34]It was supposed to be supposed to be on a while ago. I I I think it's good news that it hasn't come up yet because if the clock runs out on this, then it would just be awesome if everybody just went went for the summer. We could all enjoy our summer [laughter] and uh maybe come back to this in the fall. That would be great. Uh but we shall see how this goes today.

[00:25:56]>> Maintain uncertainty year after year.

[00:26:01]>> While refuse to enshrine these protections in law on a permanent basis calling for a genuine reform of employment insurance, a permanent reform, a structural reform, one that will finally eliminate the black hole experienced by thousands of workers. Our seasonal workers are not a temporary problem. They are at the heart of our region's economies.

[00:26:24]Ultimately, this bill does not address the priorities of regions like ours. It does not address the challenges caused by US tariffs. It does not meet the needs and expectations of seasonal workers. It does not meet the needs of the of our seniors.

[00:26:39]It does not address the difficulties faced by our regional media. and it raises serious concerns regarding public health and environmental protection.

[00:26:50]People back home are not asking for the moon. They're asking to be listened to, for their reality to be taken into account, for concrete solutions to the challenges they face on a daily basis.

[00:27:01]And unfortunately, this bill does not provide them with those solutions. That is the reason for which the blew will be voting against Bill C30. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

[00:27:12]want to ask the foreign secretary to the government hostage.

[00:27:15]>> Yes, thank you. Um, Madam Speaker, there is no surprise in regards to the block making the decision to vote against uh the budget and the supplementary legislation that's required in order to implement uh the budget. Um, at the at the end of the day, this is a budget that does in fact serve all Canadians in many different ways. He makes reference in terms of the 6575 issue with regards to seniors. What the member doesn't necessarily highlight is the fact that there is difference in terms of the average uh general age between 65 and 75 for medical requirements, employment capabilities, uh other types of expenses uh at at 75. Not to mention the fact that there was an election platform uh uh back in the day that said we were going to do just that. Um so, you know, the member is very selective. all regions of the country are supported within this budget in a very real and tangible way uh including uh the pro my home province the member's home province and we all feel very passionate about our provinces thank you madam speaker >> the honorable member for madam speaker what the parliamentary secretary said is frankly insulting he says that this measure is now available for everyone but it's temporary The issue is that senior's purchasing power is permanent. If he hasn't figured this out by now, I wonder what he's still doing in this house. So, I invite this colleague to go into the field to meet seniors, ask them truly today if they have terrible choices to make between rent, medicine, or food. And then he can come repeat what he said in the house.

[00:28:59]Like we say back home, he might have to think twice about it.

[00:29:04]the honorable member for Luis.

[00:29:06]Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to thank my colleague for his speech. He began by highlighting the 35 35th anniversary for the blequa. So, happy birthday to Dem. Now, I won't talk about what they represent, but he talked about Lucian Bush. I would also like to quote Lucian Bush last August. He said that he wasn't for the organization of a referendum. He said, "I trust the judgment of Mr. Plem Mold, the head of the party kebab, to make a decision that respects Quebec's interests." I think that Mr. Pleor will have to seriously think before continuing on his commitment to a referendum. Does my committee, does my honorable colleague agree with that? The honorable member for Metapedia.

[00:29:52]Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.

[00:29:56]That's classic honorable member for Luis Eman.

[00:30:02]He'll vote no and I'll be voting yes for a referendum if he had any concerns about my political opinion. What's even more bizarre is that my colleague is asking me this kind of question when he knows that it has nothing to do with a has a house debate, but I hope that he'll be reassured by my clear answers.

[00:30:24]I do confirm that uh that had nothing to do with government affairs.

[00:30:29]>> Member for London Elgen St. Thomas London.

[00:30:34]>> Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'd like to thank my colleague for his speech. We disagree on a number of things, but he is right to highlight the Liberal trend of imposing their solutions on provinces.

[00:30:50]With regards to Bill C30, liberals have stifled debate. They refused the appearance of important witnesses and they tried to have ideas adopted ideas that they hadn't campaigned on. What does he think that this reveals with regards to the Liberals relationship with accountability? the honorable man fork.

[00:31:16]I would like to commend my colleague and especially in his efforts in speaking French. It's a simple concept. The Liberals have finagled a majority. It's the first time in history.

[00:31:28]Do you know what happened? Also, for the first time in history, the biggest deficit in history, 78 billion. Then they're then they think it's great that they're reducing it by 10, but the government is doing all the opposite compared to what they had promised in April 2025. But they said they would they would rectify and resolve the crisis with the states. But there are no there is no resolution. It's just concession after concession and it's on the back of Quebec and its economy.

[00:31:55]Quebec has been the most affected compared to the rest of Canada. After this, >> I'm going to have >> the honorable member for Meadows.

[00:32:04]Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'll be sharing my time with the member for West Vancouver Sunshine Coast Cat to Sky Country, a writing name that's somehow longer than mine. We're talking about our economic update, which is an important step in our plan to build a strong Canada. In the next few minutes, let's go back on what a strong Canada means.

[00:32:27]A strong economy is one that works for everyone and that is the reason for which we will continue our investments in a number of social programs that help the population weather the storm.

[00:32:39]The Canada Childare Benefit, a monthly non-T taxable benefit that helps families meet the needs of their children. Since this program began in 2016, it became a pillar of our social safety net in Canada. It allows us to make sure that 600 children remain on top of uh above the poverty line. 80,000 families in New Brunswick receive close to $140 million total a year. So this is money that goes directly in the pocket of New Brunswick families so they can meet the needs of their children.

[00:33:17]In July, there will be the annual increase to take into account inflation. This is a great example of what we mean when we talk about building a strong Canadian economy that works for all.

[00:33:34]With regard to this plan, we have also invested in our infrastructure, international interest projects, but also projects led by grassroot organizations.

[00:33:47]That's why the new horizons for seniors program is so important because it offers financial support for projects that will help seniors in their writings and in their regions. Many projects including in my writing have been implemented activities for example that have a positive impact on seniors and on the facilities that they use.

[00:34:08]It is beneficial so that there's more volunteer work there.

[00:34:15]There's less isolation.

[00:34:17]The call for proposals is open.

[00:34:20]We have $50 million earmarked.

[00:34:23]Organizations will submit a proposal.

[00:34:25]They have until the 14th of July to do so. And I would like to talk about the importance of this funding by using the example in my writing for projects that will have a real that will make a real difference in my constituents life. For example, investments in a number of golden age clubs where renovations have been done to kitchens for example in Kedwick.

[00:34:49]Workshops were proposed for seniors in San equipment was purchased for outdoor activities in Hamilton. There were renovations made to buildings.

[00:35:02]There's a building in Edmonston where a community garden was opened.

[00:35:09]And now seniors can have fun with various activities.

[00:35:14]There's also renovations in a shall another facility.

[00:35:20]These are good invested dollars that have a real impact, positive impact on seniors in our communities.

[00:35:29]Building a strong Canada also goes through the economic sectors we can strengthen. Are there any sectors where there's a lack of capacity that needs to be developed?

[00:35:41]We carry out work to get sovereign capacity with regards to space launches.

[00:35:46]Currently, Canada is the only G7 country to not have space sovereign space launch capacity.

[00:35:55]To remediate this, we tabled a bill that will change the situation by establishing a framework to create our space launch capacity in Canada. That's on top of the investments we have made to support the development of space ports like the one in Nova Scotia, maritime space launch. These investments are essential because it gives us sovereignty capacities in defense, for example.

[00:36:26]But these are also investments that will have strong economic results that meet the needs of many different sectors like in telecommunications.

[00:36:40]New developing technologies especially through satellites have the potential of changing our connectivity landscape in our regions. I know this because I represent me.

[00:36:50]cell connectivity issues is something I heard about very regularly.

[00:36:55]I go from one side to the other of my writing. I go to Santor. I go to and these are just a few examples where there are many dead zones for cell connectivity. It's not a question only of security. It's also a question of the economy and it's also a significant issue for communities. When I see the potential in satellites that could broaden substantially broaden cell coverage in our regions then as an MP this is something that makes me very enthusiastic >> by having sovereign space launch capacity we [laughter] can contribute >> that was an abrupt shift there we go okay so what's happening here is this technology these technologies in the future we invest >> bill 30 to Um, interesting. Definitely running down the clock. I just got an update from a source at Parliament saying that the closure vote will be today, but the votes on the bill might not be. So, basically, the closure vote is a motion and a vote that will be put forward to bring this thing home and to say that it will be finished at some point very soon. Um, we'll wait and see what the details are, but from what I can tell here, once again, what is on the schedule is not necessarily what is actually um playing out in terms of the schedule is just like a a rough draft uh obviously of the order of things, not necessarily timed perfectly. So the uh schedule for today did say that C9 was going to be up and look and presumably before question period but it does not look like it is going to be. Um I think this is going to C30 right here is going to run right into question period. That is my take on this right now. But let's see. We might as well stick around and see because question period will be beginning. people begin loading into the House of Commons here within the next 5 to 20 minutes. They have their opening kind of members statements at the very very beginning and then they get into the zoo. They get into the [laughter] the jungle called uh question period.

[00:39:19]Might be interesting to see to watch and see. Oh, we got a little popup here. Uh what they're going to be hammering at today right out of the debate. So, we might as well might as well linger a little bit here just to make sure that C9 does not get uh brought forward before question period >> today. So, um yeah. So, let's continue to watch this. See see what's happening.

[00:39:45]>> You finding this interesting? Hope you are. It's kind of interesting.

[00:39:49]>> It's kind of interesting. He's >> pretty much talking to the air in the room. There's not a lot of other people in the room right now. Uh but all the members of parliament actually watch this stream uh in their offices. So they've all got televisions in their offices and many of them and their assistants, their staff are watching this as they are working just like we are. Just like we are. So um I'm going to bring him back up and then uh we shall see what is happening here as we begin to turn the corner into question period. [laughter] It's kind of like watching a golf game.

[00:40:24]That's kind of what I feel like.

[00:40:25]Parliament is it's kind of like watching a golf game. You're like, "Okay, is it now? Let's watch it. Let's see if he gets a birdie." And now it's just kind of wait, linger, shuffle the next spot, you know, go get a coffee. If the concession is right there, >> uh yeah, so it's kind of parliament's kind of like golf through the >> at least this part of parliament.

[00:40:46]>> It's nearly festival season, activity season, and so local artists can come on stage during these festivals. In me, we have excellent festivals. We've got volunteers that are ready to uh kick into gear so that we have a vibrant and dynamic summer season.

[00:41:07]And the federal government is supporting art and artists through these Canadian heritage projects. These are also prog programs that can support our culture in general, our art center. So, a whole variety of funding that recognizes the importance of arts and culture to build a strong Canada. I see that uh my time is coming to a close, so I'm ready to answer my colleague's questions. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

[00:41:37]The honorable member for an old lady.

[00:41:41]>> Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to thank my colleague for his speech.

[00:41:47]Bill C30 has measures that will allow cabinet to grant exemptions for certain food and agricultural rules for a period that can go up to three years. with a potential extension.

[00:42:09]Does he agree with the following? Such powers should be debated in a wholesome and rigorous way rather than being adopted far too rapidly in a committee.

[00:42:26]The honorable member from Meowaskka.

[00:42:28]Thank you, Madam Speaker.

[00:42:30]I'm happy that we're talking about food because it's important to strengthen our food sovereignty here in Canada last week. In fact, we started our first steps towards a food safety program. It comes through local producers. It comes through supporting green houses. It comes through seeing where the issues are and how we can produce more in Canada because the idea subjacent to all of this is to have a greater proportion of Canadian food on our plates and through the strategy we have we have announced that's what we want to do. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

[00:43:06]The honorable member, he's answering the questions.

[00:43:22]Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for my colleague and like to commend him for his for his speech. I have the privilege of sitting w with him at the uh science and technology committee.

[00:43:35]We understand our common reality. I'd like to talk about the issue of employment insurance. Since 2015, the Liberals who have been in power have promised a reform. In 2015, the Trudeau government said so. In 2019, it was mentioned again. In 2021, they'd even promised in the budget that there would be a reform, but now we're in 2026 and there's still nothing there. So my simple question for the colleague is does he truly believe that they are building a strong Canada when he brings temporary solutions to a permanent problem?

[00:44:09]>> The honorable member for me.

[00:44:12]Thank you Mr. Speaker. In 2016 when the Liberals came back into power the most controversial measures of the Steven Harper's EI reforms were abolished because a number of these measures did not meet the realities of our rural region. So we went back on those measures in 2018. We started a pilot project for 13 economic regions in Canada where seasonal work is a reality which allows up to five extra weeks of EI.

[00:44:40]This project contributes to seasonal workers, but it also helps employers and the economy as a whole because it means that people can remain in their community while waiting for the next season. And in the economic update, I'm pleased that we have extended the funding for this measure. In fact, in my writing, in all of my my writing is covered by this pilot project and I believe that it's a step in the right direction to support our workers in order to build a strong Canada. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

[00:45:07]>> The uh >> there will be one and a half minutes left for questions and answers.

[00:45:15]the honorable member for London West.

[00:45:22]>> I'd like to thank my colleague for his speech earlier.

[00:45:27]>> Sorry, is this a question? No, we're done with questions. There'll be a minute and a half after the time provided for for question period.

[00:45:34]>> Deputy statements by members. The honorable member for Courtney Alurnie.

[00:45:39]>> Mr. Mr. Speaker, June is brain injury awareness month, a time to recognize survivors, families, caregivers, and first responders whose lives are forever changed by brain injury. In Courtney, Alurnie, Amelia Hayden, a retired RCMP officer, knows this impact deeply. She was on duty the day Constable Jerry Breeze was injured and remained a source of support to his family throughout his recovery and after his passing. Their story reminds us why Canada needs a national brain injury strategy. That's why I introduced Bill C206. In the last parliament, former MP Alistister McGregor's bill passed unanimously at every stage to report stage but died because the call to action is not.

[00:46:23]>> Okay, so here we are. It is now heading into question period. So these are the statements before actual question period gets into full roar mode. So looks like C9 did not make it to the floor of the House of Commons before question period.

[00:46:44]So very very interesting. So it's going to be interesting to see how the order paper is updated. Right now that is the the uh agenda for the day. And I'm assuming from the information that I've got [laughter] that uh a motion will be put forward to end debate uh at some point today. Uh remains to be this is like a marathon.

[00:47:09]So uh what I'd like to do here is maybe watch a little bit of question period with you guys just for fun and I don't expect that they will be talking about C9 in question period but you never know things could come forward. It might get a little bit feisty on that front. This is Wade Chang. He was one of the members of the Justice Committee that we were calling while this was in the House of Commons at the Justice Committee. And so many of you guys probably left messages for him or talked to his office. And by the way, this is still the window based on what's how this is proceeding today. This is still the window to pick up the phone and make some phone calls. So the website is right here formycanada.com.

[00:47:55]You know it. And uh that's where you can go to get your call list. Uh let's hear what Brad is saying here.

[00:48:01]>> Their lives, raised their children, and made their memories. One family also suffered the heartbreaking loss of their beloved dog, Mo.

[00:48:09]>> These are the kinds of tragedies that shake an entire community. But in the midst of this sadness, we've also seen the very best of Saskatoon West.

[00:48:17]Neighbors, friends, local businesses, and complete strangers have stepped up to help those who lost so much.

[00:48:24]Businesses like Dah India Curry House and Sweets for My Sweets have held fundraisers to support the victims, showing what community compassion looks like in action. To the families affected, Saskatoon stands with you. You are not alone. And to everyone who has donated, volunteered, prayed, or offered support, thank you. Thank you for reminding us that even after great loss, hope, kindness, and community spirit can be stronger than ever.

[00:48:52][applause] >> The honorable member for Nunat, with June being National Indigenous History Month, I remind all Canadians to celebrate the stories, culture, strengths, and brilliance of indigenous peoples across Canada. As a proud Enoch, I highlight the strength of both Canadian Inuit from across Inu Nunangut and Inuit from across Inuaki, the circumpolar Arctic. Ancient Inuit world view is embedded in our current society. I see it in Inuit remaining to be hunters, seamstresses and knowledge holders. I hear it through Inu decision makers having influence in domestic politics and abroad. I have watched it shape legislation strengthening indigenous languages and rights including in UNRIP. We still have much to learn from Inuit and indigenous peoples. Let us work together for the betterment of our collective future.

[00:49:54][applause] >> The honorable member for Lannarch.

[00:50:00]Mr. Speaker, I hope that all colleagues have reviewed the seating plan that has been proposed for our return to centerblock. Faced with a growing number of MPs in a fixed space, the government's solution is number one to expand by about 30% the size of the desks assigned to cabinet so that the prime minister will feel like he's back home on his favorite luxury jet and number two having thereby caused an artificial space shortage for everyone else to shove 300 MPs into four rows of bleachers so tightly packed that MPs will no longer have usable workspaces and will have to tread on each other's toes to get to their seats. A better idea would be to use the Quebec legislaturator's new seating plan as our model. We could have five rows with each row containing 36 members connected by four aisles, resulting in wider seats, retention of desks instead of bleachers, and enough room for members to circulate behind each other's seats rather than over each other's feet. All we need for this to happen is to acknowledge the ancient principle that all MPs are treated and seated equally. Let's do that. here.

[00:51:01]>> The honorable member for Elmer.

[00:51:05]>> Mr. Speaker, Pride season is underway. I'm happy to rise to highlight the 30th anniversary of Janes Edm in my writing. For 30 years, young people from the 2SLGBTQIA plus community in the Udawway region have had a place where they are respected, supported, and loved. For 30 years, queer young people in the Udawway region have had a place to grow, to be part of a community, and to discover themselves. For 30 years, Janes Edm has been visiting schools in the Udawway region to teach young people about loving and accepting each other and themselves.

[00:51:45]There is an increase in homophobia, transphobia, and violence against queer people, which makes the work that Janness Edm does day in day out as important and necessary as ever. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Hall Elmer, I would like to thank and congratulate Janess Edm on 30 years of outstanding work. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

[00:52:07]>> The honorable member for Calgary Nose Hill. Last year, the leader of the blocks Keep said this about Alberta's culture. I'm not certain that oil and gas qualifies to define a culture. And a leftist Canadian podcaster recently claimed Alberta has zero culture. None.

[00:52:23]Unless you count oil patch hillbillies getting blackhouse wasted culture.

[00:52:28]Here's a wakeup call for anyone who shares that paternalistic view.

[00:52:31]Alberta's culture is what drives Canada.

[00:52:34]Alberta's culture of risk-taking that drove the development of the Leuk One has fueled the entire Canadian economy.

[00:52:40]The same culture of resiliency and self-sufficiency that pushes our farmers and ranchers to feed the world builds hospitals for Ontario and Quebec. Our culture of perseverance, swagger, and love of wild beauty is in our art, our music, and our festivals. Those who try hard to beat the culture of self-determinism out of my province do so to their own detriment and to the entire country. A stronger Alberta and a united Canada means acknowledging and giving thanks for Alberta's culture and praying hard that Alberta will be lucky enough to get more of it. Giddy up.

[00:53:18]>> The honorable member for Scarboro Center Dawn Valley East.

[00:53:22]>> Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, June is Filipino Heritage Month in Canada, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Filipino Canadians to communities across the country. Since the arrival of the first Filipino immigrants, generations have helped shape Canada's social, economic, cultural, and political landscape through their hard work, resilience, and commitment to service. Filipino Heritage Month provides an opportunity to honor the vibrant traditions, languages, arts, and values that form an important part of Canada's multicultural identity. It is to reflect mention something about melled >> Salma Zahed. She's actually one of the Liberal members of parliament that was opposed to C9 in principle. She is Muslim and there was a large outcry in her writing. She actually went on record saying that she was very very uncomfortable with C9 in its current form removing protection for sincerely held state police. So she's one. If you have not yet called her office, she would be one to reach out to to say, "Hey, thank you so much for opposing C9 uh back in the fall. Uh, and please vote in favor of MP Andrew Lton's motion to end this bill once and for all in light of the large outcry from your writing from Canadians from sea to sea and also in light of the Senate witnesses that also raised concern and so she's the one she's one of the ones to contact. Let's see what else is happening here.

[00:55:03]>> Fire department and the neighboring departments for the professionalism and compassion they displayed. Our hearts are with each of them as they process what they witnessed. Thank you to the neighbors and good Samaritans who rushed in to help. Today, our community is grieving, praying, remembering, and honoring five beautiful young lives taken far too soon. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

[00:55:29][applause] the honorable member for Sheffford. Mr. Speaker, June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. At a time when there is increasing talk of fraud targeting older people, it is important to raise awareness about various forms of abuse such as financial abuse. Seniors aged 65 to 74 face age-based discrimination because they do not receive the same pension amount as those aed 75 and over.

[00:56:08]That is agism, which is another form of abuse. And yet, rising inflation and housing issues directly affect those living on a fixed income. As we know, seniors can experience isol isolation, which is on the rise. Yet the new requirements of the New Horizons for Seniors program are making life more difficult for volunteers who organize activity for old activities for older people so they can feel less alone.

[00:56:33]Let's treat seniors well with care and let them have dignity.

[00:56:40]>> Center. Mr. Speaker, more than 4,000 Canadians live with ALS and June is ALS awareness month. ALS has been called a rare disease, but that does not take away from the impacts, the very real impacts that it has on those who are living with it. Mr. Speaker, ALS attacks the nerve cells that are responsible for movement and therefore basic human functions like walking, speaking, breathing, and much more are impacted.

[00:57:09]And while the effects are gradual, they are absolutely devastating. But for this month of June, where we reflect on ALS and what it means for those living with it, we also think about the resilience and celebrate the resilience of those who have this terrible disease, but also their family, their friends, their healthare workers, and of course the researchers. The researchers who are doing so much, not only to bring awareness, to provide hope. Research of course is another word for hope. So I thank them. I thank ALS Society of Canada, ALS Action Canada, two incredible advoc advocacy organizations doing so much as well. We will continue this fight together. Thank you very much.

[00:57:51][applause] >> The honorable member for Calgary Heritage.

[00:58:00]>> Today I rise to honor the life of Bobby Sparrow, who passed in February at the age of 90. Bobby earned respect through a lifetime of service and unwavering fidelity to her principles. From her years as a surgical nurse at Holy Cross Hospital to her leadership in the energy sector, she embodied the resilience of her generation. She gave herself fully fully to Calgary, its charities, institutions, and civic life. As a member for Calgary Southwest, she brought that same duty to Ottawa, fighting fiercely against the national energy program, inflation, and relentless tax hikes. She ser served with grace, competence, and fierce determination. She was a fighter right until the very end. To her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, thank you for sharing her with our community and our country. May her example inspire us to defend the confederation she fought for, our resources, our promise for an ordered liberty, and a nation defined by strength and ambition. I will miss my friend. May she rest in peace.

[00:59:00][applause] The honorable member for Dawn Valley North.

[00:59:09]>> Mr. Speaker, it was 47 years ago that The Log Driver's Walt was first screened and one of best animated film awards at an international film festival in France. The Logs Waltz is a Canadian folk song originally written by Wick Hemsworth and performed by the Mountain City Corp. And most of us will instantly associate the tune with the iconic vignette of the timeless tale of a young girl who to please both her parents. She had to give way and dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers as the lock driver goes burning down and down white water. Directed by John Weldon, the film celebrates the last as they work on the river and has captured the imagination of generations of Canadians and generations to come, I'm sure, because that's where the log drivers learns to step lightly.

[00:59:53]>> All right. [cheering and applause] The honorable member for Riding Mountain.

[01:00:00]>> Mr. Speaker, thousands of Canadians are writing to the health committee demanding an investigation into the $300 million prescribed IT scandal. But Liberal MPs are silencing their voices and blocking an investigation. On April 28th, the Liberal MP from Dawn Valley North turned off the committee cameras during an emergency meeting. And then she refused to say why. On May 5th, the Liberal MP from Winnipeg West voted to shut down the committee to block the health minister from testifying. Then he was caught telling his constituents online that the the sports and investigation while voting to shut it down. On June 1st, the Liberal Health Minister refused to come to health committee. And on June 11th, the Liberal chair abruptly adjourned the meeting and literally ran out the door to kill any investigation.

[01:00:51]Canadians believe in accountability, but the Liberals believe in cover-ups.

[01:00:55]Conservatives will not stop until Canadians know the full truth of the $300 million prescribed it failure and until those responsible are held accountable. Great job.

[01:01:12]>> The honorable >> member for the Defense Security and Resilient Bank following negotiation among allied countries.

[01:01:22]>> This decision reflects the confidence our allies have in us and will lead to the creation of an institution that will finance defense, offer affordable loans, and facilitate strategic investment. As Canada's as Canada's national capital region, Ottawa Gado is uniquely positioned to host a DSRB. Home to more than 130 missions, it is a recognized defense and security innovation hub with worldclass research institutions, cutting edge laboratories and a rare ecosystem where government, industry, academia and the security sector work together. Ottawa Gatna said >> Ottawa Gatnau also boasts the country's largest pool of defense specialists supported by a highly bilingual workforce.

[01:02:05]>> Joining my NCR colleagues, the mayor of Ottawa and Gadnau and support, I'm strongly supporting Ottawa Gadno as the ideal home for the DSRB. Merci.

[01:02:16]>> Thank you.

[01:02:17]>> The honorable member for Tik Map.

[01:02:21]>> Mr. Speaker, today the prime minister arrives at the G7 as the only leader who has driven his country into a recession.

[01:02:28]While families struggle through this full-blown recession, the Liberals continue to offer announcements instead of results. On Thursday, the Liberals brought yet another food affordability strategy, but grocery bills remain skyhigh. Canadians are making impossible choices just to survive. In New Brunswick, one man was forced to postpone open heart surgery because he simply could not afford to stop working and recover. While in Monton, there were over 300 opioid overdoses in just two weeks. Things are getting desperate, Mr. Speaker. Yet, while families struggle to buy groceries, the prime minister is leaving on a jet plane and he's not sure when he'll be back again, spending nearly 1 million on luxury inflight catering over 14 trips so far. When two IN FIVE CANADIANS STRUGGLE TO PUT FOOD on the table, THEY ARE RIGHT TO ASK, WHY ARE LIBERALS FUNDING LUXURY WHILE OUR FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO GET BY?

[01:03:24][applause] >> The honorable member for Ottawa Center.

[01:03:29]>> Speaker, the Canadian Indo-Caribbean Organization of Ottawa is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their annual multicultural event.

[01:03:38]>> Wow. This special occasion is a celebration of the culture, heritage, and identity of the Indo-Caribbean community. It is an opportunity to recognize the many valuable contributions that the Indo-Caribbean community has made to Canada, in particularly in the National Capital Region. I want to congratulate my friend Peter Maharaj who is here on the hill for his hard work and dedication to organize this wonderful event over the years. A big gratitude to all the volunteers in our community for assisting in the success of this multicultural event year after year.

[01:04:14]Congratulations and here's to 25 more years of celebrating Canada's Indo-Caribbean community. Thank you.

[01:04:24]>> Oral questions. The honorable member for Ashawa.

[01:04:32]>> Mr. Speaker, today the prime minister arrives at the G7 as the only leader who has driven his own country into recession. While he flies around the world in style with nearly $1 million in luxury inflight catering, Canadians are being driven out of their homes and into food banks. Two in five Canadians are struggling to put food on the table, and many families are skipping meals, living in RVs, and losing sleep over how they will pay their bills. Will the prime minister reverse his costly Liberal policies that have caused this crisis so Canadians can afford to live and have hope again? [clears throat] >> The honorable government house.

[01:05:13]>> Well, Mr. Speaker, every time we propose something to help the very people of which this member speaks, she rises on her leaders orders and votes against it.

[01:05:23]the groceries and essentials benefit, the Canada child benefit, the uh aid for seniors, aid for dental care, and we will not apologize for the prime minister going to other countries, signing trade deals, bringing back billions and investment, creating jobs and opportunity for Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

[01:05:47]>> The honorable member for Ashawa, >> Mr. Speaker, Canadians are seeing through the illusions. These Liberals keep rolling out more programs and calling it progress. If you need more government supports just to get by, that is not success. That is an admission of failure. All of the G7 countries fa face the same global pressures. Yet only one has managed to turn these shared challenges into a recession at home.

[01:06:14]That is our Canada under this Liberal prime minister. Since the same global pressures are affecting everyone, why is Canada the only G7 country in recession while others have managed to avoid it?

[01:06:27]>> The honorable government house leader.

[01:06:30]>> Well, let me tell that let me tell that member and her entire bench what success looks like. Success looks like creating twice as many jobs per capita as the United States. Success looks like diversifying our trade. Success looks like Kota Carl. SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE HIGH-SPEED RAIL IN Ontario and Quebec.

[01:06:51]That that party's against. SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AN MOU WITH THE PROVINCE of Alberta. SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FROM ONE COAST TO ANOTHER TO ANOTHER. WE'RE GOING TO KEEP GETTING SUCCESS NOT WITHSTANDING THE OPPOSITION OF these guys.

[01:07:10]>> The honorable member for Barry Southville. Well, if you talk to anyone on the street or businesses suffering from 11 years of failed Liberal policies, they'll tell you that Canada is in recession. No matter how the Liberals or the media try to spin it, and things are not getting any better.

[01:07:26]While families, seniors, and young people are anxious about their finances and their futures, the worst of all scenarios have crept into the minds of Canadian business. Doubt and uncertainty. The Liberal Prime Minister has the distinction of walking into the G7 meetings as the only leader into recession.

[01:07:44]>> Okay. Okay. Wow. Well, it's been a long morning here watching and waiting to see if C9 could drop for it or not. It did not make it up before question period which we are in right now. By the way, just check out that ticker right there.

[01:07:59]Pearl parl.parl.gc.ca.

[01:08:02]That's where you can go and watch this live stream uh in its totality right now. I'm going to begin to land this because it looks like they are not going to be talking about C9 at least for the next couple of hours and I actually have a speaking engagement that I need to get to for work and so I'm going to bow out and do that and come back after that.

[01:08:23]But in the meantime, this is the window I need to emphasize again. This is the window to be making phone calls. Uh and so on our website formycananada.com, this is the homepage right here.

[01:08:36]formycanada.com.

[01:08:39]Uh there is a list right here of uh members of parliament to call. If you have not yet made any phone calls, this is where you start. If you've already uh been on it and called through all these members of parliament or called all these offices, left messages, talked to folks, then there is also a bonus list right here. Bonus list right here that you can start to chew through as well.

[01:09:03]And these are the members of parliament that have the most to gain and the most to lose by voting in favor of MP Andrew Lton's motion to kill Bill C9 once and for all. So this is the window because of the delay. It's, [laughter] you know, I want to say this, the delay is a good sign. This is a sign that because of the pressure, because of the outcry, because of the prayers of people like you, uh, that this is being pushed back, pushed back, pushed back. You know, the Liberals wanted to have this hooped before Christmas last year, and we are now at June 15th, a full half a year later, and Bill C9, which would remove protection for sincerely held faith beliefs, is still not um I'm going to just mute this all together, is still not law. And that is because of you all.

[01:09:59]That's because of you uh making those phone calls, writing your emails, signing the petitions, being active, being engaged, um ordering the postcards, ordering the letters, and our team here on the backhand working hard to get that all out the shoot. Uh this is what happens when we bring pressure into the public square. It means that bad things are minimally delayed and maybe stopped altogether. And that is what we are hoping for.
