Replying to Jacob Mantle (Conservative). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the motion.

“Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome my hon. colleague to the House. She will no doubt be aware that recently the Muslim Association of Canada held a networking session, a conference, for Canadians in Toronto. In a word cloud that was presented at that conference was the phrase “Jew free”. I wonder if my hon. colleague would take this opportunity in her maiden speech during the questions and comments to get up here and show us her courage to condemn that type of thinking in Canada.”
