Madam Speaker, I would like to welcome the member opposite to the House. In my riding of Sarnia—Lambton, we have a lot of seniors. Many of them are on OAS and GIS, and they have to take jobs on top of those to make ends meet. When the pandemic hit they received the CERB, and now their GIS is being taken away or reduced. I have been trying to have this issue addressed for about a year and a half. Between that and the increase to OAS only for seniors aged 75 and above, there are a lot of seniors who are going to be suffering. I did not hear much in the throne speech that would address that. Could the member comment?

Madam Speaker, I know the member is very intelligent, as a lawyer, and he has been fighting for people's human rights. One of the charter rights of all Canadians is to freely enter and leave the country. Liberal policies are preventing almost three million Canadians who are not yet vaccinated from taking a plane or a train, and they cannot cross a land border. They are essentially trapped in the country. Would he agree that that is a violation of their charter rights? What reasonable accommodations would the government be willing to put forward to address it?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the member opposite to the House. She mentioned violence against women and gender-based violence as an issue. As the former chair of the status of women, in 2016 we authored a report with 45 recommendations for the government to be able to eliminate gender-based violence in Canada, so it is disturbing to me that in the throne speech Liberals are still talking about coming with a plan and there is still no funding attached to it, after six years. Could the member indicate why the government is taking so long to do something that is so important?
