Public Safety

During question period on public safety, the Conservatives said the Prime Minister’s speech on anti-Semitism was hollow and that his new council includes people whose records make them unfit for the job, asking whether the government would take real action to protect Jewish Canadians. The Liberals pointed to their anti-hate bill and funding to protect places of worship, schools, campuses and community centres, and said the opposition should support these measures rather than divide people.Written by AI from the debate.

“People are treating Jewish people badly in Canada, and someone recently shot at my own synagogue. The opposition should stop dividing people and support our bill to protect places of worship, schools, and community centres.”

Mr. Speaker, there is a dangerous and serious crisis of anti-Semitism, and all the opposition can do is drive more division in the country when we do not need it most. The very synagogue where I was bar-mitzvahed was shot with 20 bullets. We do not need lessons from the opposition as to the seriousness. That is why it is a shame that the opposition opposed our anti-hate bill to protect campuses, places of worship and community centres from this scourge of anti-Semitism. They should stop the divisive rhetoric, join us and protect all Canadians.

“We have a bill and funding to protect Jewish places like synagogues, camps, and community centres. The opposition should support us to protect Jewish people from hate instead of trying to divide people.”

Mr. Speaker, like all Canadians, I was proud to stand with the Prime Minister yesterday as he named the dangerous scourge of anti-Semitism. He took action, and not with divisive rhetoric. We have an anti-hate bill that will protect our places of worship, campuses and community centres. We have put money into protecting synagogues and camps. Instead of stoking division, and instead of the hollow rhetoric, the opposition should stand with us, protect Jews who are facing unprecedented levels of anti-Semitism and take some action.
