Today, the House of Commons unanimously adopted my motion to reaffirm its commitment to a two-state solution — a viable Palestinian state, living side-by-side in peace and security with Israel. (1/2)
Great news!
Starting June 27th Canadians with Disabilities can apply for the Canadian Dental Care Plan!
Our plan has already connected over 150,000 seniors with dental care & it will ensure that

don’t have to choose between paying their bills and looking after their teeth.
The recent spike in antisemitism and other forms of hatred and racism is deeply concerning.
To address this, Budget 2024 proposes $273 M for Canada’s Action Plan on Combatting Hate.
We are strengthening our communities and institutions to build a safer, more inclusive Canada.
Félicitations à tous les cadets pour cette année réussie et merci au président Coté et au capitaine Doucet d’aider nos jeunes à atteindre leur plein potentiel. (3/3)
Hier, j’ai eu le privilège d’être l’invité d’honneur de la parade de graduation de l’Escadron 830 Pierrefonds, la seule escadron francophone de cadets de l’air de l’Ouest-de-l’Île. (1/3)
We have witnessed too much suffering & destruction in Gaza. It's time to stop.
I welcome
@POTUS
Biden’s initiative & encourage all parties to seize this opportunity for a ceasefire, release of all hostages, guaranteed unhindered humanitarian access & ultimately a durable peace
This violent assault of a female protester is shocking. It’s criminal.
None can ever be attacked for exercising Charter rights.
In fact, we must take positive steps to protect rights, including when protesting the killing in Gaza.
All of society stands against this assailant.
This is a display of what appears to be another physical attack on peaceful protestors for Palestinian human rights.
We are aware of this disturbing incident in Ottawa.
We are in contact with those involved, including the authorities who were there for the attack.
We

These attacks are abhorrent. Police are investigating; there must be justice.
Premier Ford's comments are shameful. Leaders have a responsibility to unite. Our words matter.
If we learn anything from the

It’s unacceptable for Canadians with disabilities to be treated poorly while they travel.
That’s why we held Canada’s first-ever Air Accessibility Summit.
Working together with airlines, we agreed on immediate solutions to ensure everyone can travel safely and with dignity.
This has to stop immediately.
Schools and places of worship are inviolable. They are where we entrust our children and seek sanctuary.
As a father, my heart goes out to parents of the school.
Canadians are united against antisemitism and hate.
