00:00:00.000 Mr. Speaker, all Canadians want to see a leader who will work to heal rifts, not further divide.
00:00:05.960 A leader who will listen, even to those voices he might not agree with.
00:00:09.980 A leader who will work to understand, not dismiss, name-call and gaslight.
00:00:15.500 Contrary to some, there are thousands of passionate, patriotic and peaceful Canadians on the Hill right now who just want to be heard.
00:00:24.800 Will the Prime Minister extend an olive branch, and will he listen?
00:00:30.000 The Honourable Minister for Public Safety.
00:00:32.920 Mr. Speaker, I think we all support free speech in this House, but there's a big difference between free speech and inciting hatred, inciting violence, desecrating war memorials, Mr. Speaker.
00:00:43.000 And I would hope my Honourable colleague would denounce that in the clearest terms, Mr. Speaker.
00:00:47.780 Those radical leaders are not really interested in free speech because they want to pretend as though vaccines don't work.
00:00:53.560 On this side of the House, we know vaccines work.
00:00:55.860 That's the gateway to freedom, and this government will do everything that we can to get there.
00:01:00.180 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:01.980 Member for Portage, Lisker.
00:01:04.080 Of course, we all condemn hateful and destructive acts by a few at any protest.
00:01:08.860 Whether it's beheading the statue of Queen Victoria in Manitoba, tearing down the statue of Sir Johnny in Montreal, or putting flags on Terry Fox, whether it's burning churches, whether it's wearing blackface, whether it's Hezbollah flags, or Nazi flags.
00:01:25.720 We all condemn it.
00:01:27.640 But I'm not talking about that, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:33.400 You might want to stay down.
00:01:36.340 You might want to stay down, everybody.
00:01:42.420 The Honourable Minister of Public Safety.
00:01:45.180 Mr. Speaker, let's be abundantly clear that those individuals who've called for the incitement of violence to overthrow this government, who have caused significant disruption by flagrantly ignoring public health care measures that have forced shops and businesses to close, that have desecrated war memorials, are not interested in free speech.
00:02:05.200 They're not interested in discourse, and they're certainly not interested in advancing our way out of this pandemic, Mr. Speaker.
00:02:11.660 This government will always listen to those who want to have a robust debate about public health care measures, but we have to draw a bright line between those who are interested in that debate and those who are not.
00:02:22.820 The Honourable Minister of Public Safety.
00:02:24.380 Well, that minister is not telling the truth, and it's shameful to see what he is doing.
00:02:29.960 I think both sides are very truthful in saying what they say.
00:02:44.240 Whether they agree with it or not is something that is another story.
00:02:48.660 But calling someone who's telling, well, basically calling them a name or accusing them of something is not permitted in the House.
00:02:56.040 I'll let the Honourable Member for Portage, Lister, start from the top, and I'm sure she'll ask the question correctly.
00:03:02.980 Mr. Speaker, and I apologize, that minister is misleading Canadians.
00:03:07.340 I do get very defensive of Canadians who are outside today, patriotic, peace-loving Canadians, who are called misogynists and racist by the Prime Minister.
00:03:17.820 So again, I will ask the Prime Minister, who may I remind this House wore blackface on more times than he can remember. 0.60
00:03:25.060 I apologize to the peace-loving, patriotic Canadians who are outside right now, just asking to be heard.
00:03:33.600 Will he speak to them?
00:03:36.840 The Honourable Government House Leader.
00:03:39.440 Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:03:40.660 I think this is a moment where we have to acknowledge that the protests that have occurred have made their point.
00:03:45.820 And I would ask the member opposite to encourage the people that are outside to continue in a way that is peaceful, that moves beyond what we have seen.
00:03:54.840 Ottawa is being paralyzed right now.
00:03:57.420 We're seeing imagery that's not appropriate.
00:03:59.020 I'm going to ask the Honourable Minister to hold on for a second.
00:04:07.000 I'm sure the Honourable Member for Portage-Lisker wants to hear an answer to the questions he asks.
00:04:12.160 I'll let the Honourable Minister continue from where he left off.
00:04:16.140 I'll just say this, Mr. Speaker.
00:04:17.240 I was in opposition.
00:04:18.240 I was in opposition for about seven years.
00:04:19.820 And there were times where I was overheated in my rhetoric.
00:04:24.080 There were moments where I got too carried away with what I believed passionately at the time.
00:04:29.100 There is a moment where we need to de-escalate.
00:04:31.640 There's a moment where we need to bring it down.
00:04:33.900 And I'm asking the members opposite, instead of going outside with these protests, to...
00:04:39.240 But that's why we don't have to work.
00:04:40.060 Father, you're contraluded.
00:04:40.280 Thank you, Anthony.
00:04:41.160 Please hold on yourрет to your friends.
00:04:43.040 I supervision it at your cousin-in-law
00:05:02.800 Español is estou no longer than찬-in-law.
00:05:04.540 Savage birthday.
