Mr. Peter Julian (Burnaby—New Westminster, NDP): Mr. Speaker, after what we have all experienced in the past 24 hours, I believe that we have made Canadians proud today.
I think that we should thank everyone here for both the questions and the answers. Today, we asked about public safety, childcare, small businesses, first nations and cuts to Canada Post. Would the government House leader not agree that this was an excellent example of the House of Commons at its best?
Did we not just show the world that Canadian democracy stands tall and that it proudly continues?
Hon. Peter Van Loan (Leader of the Government in the House of Commons, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I am very proud of how our House has conducted itself today, but I am very proud of that every day. We live in the best country in the world. We have the best democracy in the world. We can all be proud of that, and I hope that will continue for many, many years to come.
NDP Critic for Canadian Heritage Peter Julian issued the following statement:
"It has come to our attention that a consultant for a federally funded anti-racism project has a disturbing track record of spewing hate speech online against Jewish and francophone communities. This is completely unacceptable. We call on the Minister of Heritage to take drastic action and terminate his contract.
NDP Heritage Critic Peter Julian issued the following statement:
“Today’s announcement by Hockey Canada is another attempt to delay the important and urgent work to deal with the toxic culture in this organization. While a former Supreme Court Justice is a credible appointment to conduct the review into Hockey Canada, this won’t be the first time the organization undergoes this process.
NDP critic for Canadian Heritage, Peter Julian, made the following statement:
“Canadians are horrified by the incidents of sexual assault and by what they’re hearing from Hockey Canada. They are left with many questions about how this toxic culture is allowed to persist in our sports organizations and what the government is actually doing to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
