Before we go to the next question, I just want to remind the hon. members that we are starting to hear some more rumble and talking. Maybe just whispering a little bit more lightly would be better. The hon. member for Carleton

Mr. Speaker, not once, not twice, but 13 times did this public safety minister claim that the police told him to suspend people's civil liberties with the Emergencies Act. Not only did the cops say that this is not true, but yesterday two of his fellow ministers, including the Deputy Prime Minister, said that it is not true. Today, the Prime Minister refused to say that his public safety minister had acted honourably. If his fellow ministers do not think he is honourable and truthful, why is he still in cabinet?

Mr. Speaker, while the member opposite supposedly concerns himself with the freedom of Canadians to protest illegally, we are going to continue to stand with Canadians who had their lives disrupted by the illegal blockades and the protesters who went to such lengths to shut down our economy over the month of February. We continue to work with police officers, with services, with local authorities to give them the tools needed, and ultimately we chose to invoke the Emergencies Act to keep Canadians safe and put an end to these barricades.

Mr. Speaker, he referred to disrupting people's lives. This is from the guy who took away the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people because of an unscientific mandate that robbed them of their individual freedom. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, disrupting people's lives? This is a Prime Minister who disrupted the lives of tens of thousands of people, if not hundreds of thousands, because of a personal medical decision. Everything the government has been saying about our truckers has been false from the very beginning, starting with the claim that they would spread a virus even though they were in a truck all alone all day long, and ending with the recent claim that the police had asked for the Emergencies Act. Now that the government has admitted that the public safety minister stated falsehoods, will the Prime Minister do the honourable thing and fire him?

Mr. Speaker, every step of the way throughout this global pandemic, we had Canadians' backs, and that meant ensuring that we followed science, that we did everything necessary to keep people safe and that we did everything necessary to make sure our economy would spring back as quickly as possible. The member opposite knows full well that he stood against our scientific measures to keep Canadians safe. He stood against the measures we put forward to support small businesses, to support families in getting through this pandemic, and indeed stood against the measures that have led us to recovering 115% of the jobs lost during the pandemic, while the U.S. has only recovered 95%. We had Canadians' backs. That is what we were doing during the pandemic.

Mr. Speaker, in the digital era, cybersecurity is national security. Our critical infrastructure relies on interconnected networks and cyber-systems every day. From our financial system to telecommunications and from the energy sector to the transportation sectors, organizations need to be well prepared to be able to prevent and respond to cyber incidents. Can the Prime Minister inform this House how new legislation on cybersecurity will enable Canadian organizations to protect critical cyber infrastructure and our communities?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Vancouver Granville for his question and his hard work. Cybersecurity is national security. Bill C-26 will help both the public and private sectors better protect themselves against cyber-attacks and is one part of our robust strategy to defend Canada and the crucial infrastructure that Canadians rely on. We will always protect the safety and security of Canadians and we will take any actions necessary to safeguard our telecommunications infrastructure.

Mr. Speaker, two years ago, the Liberal government announced $724.1 million to support indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people in the face of gender-based violence. However, here is the thing: We are dealing with the Liberals. Two years later, can members guess how much money was spent? It is zero dollars. Zero dollars was spent to support indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people facing gender-based violence. Why is the government making announcements instead of taking concrete steps to support people facing gender-based violence?

Mr. Speaker, that is simply not true. Over the past two years, we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars directly into grassroots organizations that have been there to support survivors of domestic violence and gender-based violence. Addressing the ongoing violence, including that related to the MMIWG, requires living up to our goals as a country and respecting all the calls to justice. In June 2021, partners from across the country came together and released the national action plan to finally end this ongoing tragedy, and it will be supported by budget 2021's $2.2-billion investment in concrete measures that will keep people safe.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are facing soaring gas prices. However, most consumers are unaware of the federal government's hidden fleecing. It is called “tax cascading”, and it must stop. In Ontario, the government applies HST to fuel purchases and then applies it to the excise tax, the carbon tax and the provincial tax. The government is taxing taxes. If it is serious about helping Canadians, the government should take its triple-dipping tax hands out of consumers' pockets. Will the Prime Minister eliminate tax cascading and provide Canadians with a fuel tax rebate from the massive slush fund that he is raking in?

Mr. Speaker, the investments we have made have been directed at supporting families and the vulnerable through these difficult times. We chose to invest billions of dollars to ensure that child care fees get cut in half this year, and we are seeing, right across the country, that this is having an incredibly positive impact on families where it is coming into place. A lot of people in various jurisdictions, like the member's own province of Ontario, are looking forward to that kicking in for them as well. We are also increasing the Canada child benefit to match the cost of inflation in the coming weeks to make sure that families have more money for the cost of living and the cost of groceries and everyday items. That is part of what we are doing to have Canadians'—

Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is just on a point of clarification on the vote and whether a member needs a jacket to vote inside the House and outside of the House on video, because we are working under the assumption that this is the House and so is the video.
