He called for the law to be enforced, for the deportation of 700 Iranian agents, and for the House to pass his private member’s bill to make it a criminal offence to promote terrorism.Written by AI from the debate.

“The government is not doing enough to protect Jewish Canadians from attacks and harassment. It needs to enforce the law and deport 700 Iranian agents. I want the House to pass my bill to make it a crime to promote terrorism.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, sometimes I think the Prime Minister is trolling us. What did he propose to protect the Jewish community? It was the Advisory Council on Rights, Equality, and Inclusion, with Omar Alghabra of all people. It is an insult. That is the Prime Minister’s solution to synagogues being shot at and thugs harassing senior homes or marching in North York and chanting for intifada. Liberals love advisory councils. It is grade school level. Why not take some real steps? They could enforce the law, call the RCMP’s integrated security enforcement team. This is a national security matter. The Liberals need to deport the 700 IRGC agents from Canada. So far, they have deported one. They could listen to the Association for the Chiefs of Police and pass my bill, Bill C-257, which would criminalize the wilful promotion of terrorism. Work with us and pass my bill. To the 400,000 Jewish Canadians, I am embarrassed by the Liberal government. The Conservative leader and all of my Conservative colleagues will not tolerate this nonsense. We will always protect Canada’s Jews.
