Replying to Kristina Tesser Derksen (Liberal)
“Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my colleague’s speech. I worked as a family law lawyer, and I assisted women who were fleeing violence at home. However, one of the things that I noticed, which has been very challenging to deal with, is the amount of misinformation that constituents are reaching out to me on about Bill C-16 because of what our Conservative colleagues are putting out on their social media. In fact, just tonight, a constituent of mine emailed me asking about a video he had seen posted by the former Conservative member from Peterborough, and thank God she is the former member, which was basically saying all kinds of nonsense about Bill C-16. How does my colleague see this manipulation of information by our Conservative colleagues affecting how his constituents understand Bill C-16?”

Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 67 wordsI made reference to the excessive abuse by the official opposition when it comes to the issue of misinformation, whether it is inside the House of Commons, here on the floor, or through social media and emails. It is literally non-stop. For example, on the mandatory minimums that we would reinstate under exceptional circumstances, the Conservatives are trying to mislead Canadians on what that would actually do.Positioning Claims · 24 wordsAt the end of the day, Bill C-16 would reinstate mandatory minimums.1 It would protect, in particular, our children from all forms of exploitation. Positioning · 25 wordsI see that as a positive thing, and it is really lame and sad to see the Conservative Party intentionally mislead Canadians on this issue.Positioning
