Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech. He issued a passionate appeal to get this motion passed and have the government put an end to this bureaucratic war on Ukrainian women, children and seniors who want to seek temporary refuge in Canada. I think these wait times are a total failure. Can Canada remove its visa requirement as 91 other countries have done? I think it can, but I would like to know what my colleague thinks.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her speech. She did a good job explaining the problems we are having, and she called for collaboration. My constituents are asking me what is going on in Ottawa, why we cannot be more nimble and create the humanitarian capacity needed so that women, children and seniors can come to Canada. People are ready to welcome them. I get a lot of calls to that effect. From the beginning, I have been telling them that we are working together collaboratively. However, it is no longer working. The parliamentary secretary just said that this is a new program and that we need to give it time. However, we do not have the luxury of time. Would my colleague agree that time is running out and that refugees cannot wait any longer? They want to come here, and we have the capacity to welcome them. What are the limits of this collaboration, considering the government's dismal failure?

  • Re: Bill C-11 
Madam Speaker, I sincerely hope that Bill C‑11 will be passed as soon as possible. I applaud the work that our colleague from Drummond did in committee. I am very happy that Bill C‑10, now Bill C‑11, is before the House today. I do not understand why anyone would oppose this bill. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act is archaic and toothless. Francophone cultural content is in decline, and all our broadcasters are losing momentum. I believe we must act to resist the web giants of the world. Personally, I find this very important. My question for the member who spoke is this: If this bill passes, it will go to committee. How much time will it take for the CRTC to implement the changes?
