00:00:00.000 Obviously, it's extremely upsetting that this happened.
00:00:04.000 The Speaker has acknowledged his mistake and has apologized.
00:00:10.000 But this is something that is deeply embarrassing to the
00:00:13.000 Parliament of Canada and, by extension, to all Canadians.
00:00:16.000 I think particularly of Jewish MPs and all members of the
00:00:20.000 Jewish community across the country who are celebrating
00:00:23.000 or commemorating Yom Kippur today.
00:00:26.000 I think it's going to be really important that all of us
00:00:30.000 push back against Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation,
00:00:34.000 and continue our steadfast and unequivocal support for Ukraine,
00:00:39.000 as we did last week with announcing further measures to
00:00:43.000 stand with Ukraine in Russia's illegal war against it.
