Mr. Speaker, for your home, my home and our home, let us bring it home. There are 127,000 Canadians who are dual citizens of the U.K. Every single year, their pensions are not indexed in the U.K. Therefore, petitioners in Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon and across Canada are calling upon the Government of Canada to consider those pensions in its negotiations with the British government for a new free trade deal.

Context: House Hansard - 191 - May/4/23
Mrs. Cheryl Gallant (Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, CPC)
  • May/4/23 1:23:00 p.m.

Mr. Speaker, gaslighting and victim-blaming did not work. Now the member is saying that it happens in other countries too, so it does not matter as much. The member is trying to diminish the gravity of what is happening here. However, what he fails to realize entirely is that this motion was not just brought forward on behalf of the member for Wellington—Halton Hills; rather, it has been brought forth for the millions of Canadians who have come to Canada from hostile countries and who have great fears about what is happening to their families back home and even to their families here in Canada. They have these fears because the Prime Minister has yet to close down the Chinese police stations set up by the Communists there to harass citizens living in Canada. With the lack of importance given to securing our very own members in the House of Commons, what kind of confidence can new Canadians have in their security?
