Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague. The short answer is yes. First, we mourn the lives lost in the mass shooting in Buffalo. Our hearts go out to all the victims and survivors. These senseless killings were motivated by hatred, fear and anti-Black racism. While this act occurred in the United States, Canada is not immune to racism and gun violence in our communities. We still have much to do to stop gun violence. We will do good work on the ground with all MPs.

Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations with other parties, and I believe if you seek it, you will find consent for the following motion: That the House: express its horror at the hate-fueled mass shooting by a white supremacist in Buffalo, New York; extend its deepest condolences to the families, friends and communities who lost loved ones; and reaffirm the need to confront racism, white supremacy and hate in all their forms.
