00:00:13.420 $9 million for his friend Tom Clark to have stunning powder room

00:00:35.280 Did the Prime Minister go and inspect this palace in the sky
00:00:38.440 on his recent trip to New York?
00:00:44.660 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:00:47.500 Mr. Speaker, engaging with international leaders on fighting climate change,
00:00:53.280 on solving global crises, on standing up unequivocally for Ukraine,
00:00:58.820 the right hon.
00:00:59.560 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:01:00.480 Mr. Speaker, be clear andoperating the quickcut.
00:01:11.580 Colleagues, Montenegro, just as I said before,
00:01:15.700 I would ask all members to please not take the floor unless they're recognised by the
00:01:20.200 I would ask all members to please not take the floor, unless they're recognized by the
00:01:24.200 speaker, so that we can hear the questions and we can hear the answers.
00:01:27.880 The Right Honourable Prime Minister from the talk, please.
00:01:29.960 Mr. Speaker, don't worry. On this side of the House,
00:01:31.960 we're used to casual homophobic comments from the other side of the House.
00:01:35.880 Mr. Speaker, what is it about the…
00:01:50.200 Mr. Speaker, congratulations and good news.
00:02:01.760 Mr. Speaker, that's great.
00:02:08.120 Mr. Speaker, we're going to raise
00:02:13.400 the points.
00:02:18.380 I heard comments that, because it was not on microphone, I chose not to get up, I would
00:02:43.380 ask, nonetheless, that we all treat each other with the presumption of honour and respect.
00:02:55.180 And I'll ask the Prime Minister to please withdraw that comment and to start his comment
00:03:01.380 again.
00:03:14.380 I heard a comment, as I said, which I could not stand up because I did not know who said
00:03:22.380 it, but colleagues, I do not appreciate when we would tar the entire members with that concern.
00:03:40.280 And I'm going to ask the Honourable Member to please withdraw that comment, start his question
00:03:46.380 again, and let us presume the better natures of all Members of Parliament here.
00:03:55.380 The Right Honourable Prime Minister from the top. 0.99
00:03:59.380 Mr. Speaker, standing up to bullies requires us to call them out on their crap sometimes, 0.99
00:04:04.380 and that's what I will do. 0.98
00:04:14.380 Mr. Speaker, standing up to bullies, you set the bar on this.
00:04:29.380 I'll invite the Prime Minister once again to rise on his feet, and thank you.
00:04:48.380 Mr. Speaker, I will happily withdraw my comment if the member who suggested that I was sharing
00:04:57.380 a cup with Tom Clarke, stands up, takes responsibility for his…
00:05:27.380 The President's
00:05:52.020 As I had indicated to all colleagues here, I was not able to hear or track the source
00:06:08.120 of that statement, and I am just asking the Prime Minister to be the better person and
00:06:21.580 to please just withdraw the comment and start his question again.
00:06:27.820 Mr. Speaker, I withdraw the comment about defecating. 0.97
00:06:41.460 I certainly, using the word crap, I shouldn't use that, I know crap is unparliamentary, 0.97

00:06:55.580 them, I'm not accusing them of homophobia, I'm saying they made a homopho…
00:06:59.580 I appreciate the Prime Minister withdrawing his comment, and the Chair accepts him withdrawing
00:07:16.580 that comment.
00:07:18.580 As the Speaker had indicated, sometimes in this Chair, and for those who have occupied
00:07:25.580 this Chair or who will occupy this Chair will understand, it is a very difficult decision
00:07:30.580 day to day.
00:07:31.580 I heard a comment, I did not know who said it, and the Speaker chose for the reputation of
00:07:37.580 this House, for us to move on from that comment.
00:07:42.580 I ask the Prime Minister to withdraw the comment.
00:07:44.580 I appreciate you withdrawing the comment.
00:07:46.580 The Prime Minister, please respond to the question that was asked by the President.
00:07:52.580 Mr. Speaker, I know the very idea of standing up for Canada's rights and values on the world

00:08:02.580 What is it exactly?
00:08:03.580 Is it standing up to fight climate change?
00:08:05.580 Is it standing up for women's rights?
00:08:07.580 Is it standing up for democracy rights and freedom of the press?
00:08:11.580 Whatever it is, he sure does not like it when Canada stands proudly on the world stage,
00:08:15.580 because he wants everyone to think that Canada is broken.
00:08:18.580 Well, Canada is not broken.
00:08:19.580 Canada is the best country in the world.
00:08:21.580 In order to make it even better.
