Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. Today we are taking the time to remember the mothers, sisters and daughters across the country who have lost their lives to senseless, preventable violence. Gender-based violence must not and will not be tolerated in Canada. Our government will always fight to end violence against women. This means having firearms legislation and a national ac…

Mr. Speaker, despite the trite rhymes coming from the other side of the House, I would like to remind everybody in the House that we actually have an economic plan, unlike the opposition.

Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservatives, our government has a plan to help Canadians get through this.
