Mr. Speaker, when NDP MPs are not busy covering up for the Prime Minister's scandal, they are busy defending anti-Semites. Just yesterday, the NDP member for Hamilton Centre wrote a letter in support of an anti-Semitic MPP whom even the Ontario NDP had to expel. Does the leader of the NDP support his member's letter, and does he support the position of this Ontario MPP?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind my colleague that our government was there to help people and businesses during COVID‑19. Nine out of every 10 aid program dollars came from the federal government. We have already granted one extension and provided clarification to ensure that businesses subsequently made sound decisions. Together with Economic Development Canada and the other regional development agencies, we are there to support them.

Mr. Speaker, when we have debates in this chamber around housing policy, it is really important. I thank the hon. member for her focus on continuing to support some of society's most vulnerable. We work with different populations who are struggling, including vulnerable newcomers, including women fleeing domestic violence, including other people who simply cannot find a place to stay. We have doubled the funding for homelessness support through the Reaching Home program and will continue to make the investments necessary to protect some of the country's most vulnerable people as we approach the winter months. It is important that we take care of our most vulnerable, and I appreciate the NDP's support in this regard.

Mr. Speaker, in March of this year, I actually travelled to Ukraine. I wanted to meet with government officials. I wanted to see what was happening on the ground in Kyiv and Irpin. When I met with government representatives and when I met with parliamentarians from Ukraine, one of the things they wanted was support from Canada to help rebuild their country. They wanted us to be working with them to rebuild. I spent some time talking to folks working in different areas and different sectors, and I can tell members that, ultimately, the people who suffer the most in any war are women, are children, are marginalized people. The war in Ukraine is no different. We need to help Ukraine rebuild. We need to be there for our ally. We also need to recognize that after this war is won, the people who are most vulnerable and the people who will need the most support are women, girls and indigenous people. That needs to be the priority of our trade agreements as well.
