“The Prime Minister said Canada and Turkey share values like human rights and democracy. Turkey harms LGBTQ+ people, puts journalists and rivals in prison, and attacks Kurds. The Prime Minister should not use our reputation to make Turkey's government look good.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister travelled to Turkey to strike a deal with President Erdoğan’s authoritarian regime. He stated that Canada and Turkey have shared values, including “human rights, individual freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law”. The fact of the matter is that the Turkish regime persecutes LGBTQ+ people. It imprisons political opponents and journalists. It is massacring the Kurdish minority. I could keep going. How can the Prime Minister use the reputation of Quebec and Canada to trivialize that regime’s transgressions?”

“Canada condemned violence in Sudan this morning, but tonight the Prime Minister is hosting a banquet for the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates. The UAE arms the group committing that violence. Canada is ignoring human rights abuses, and the Prime Minister must raise this issue tonight.”

“Mr. Speaker, speaking of hypocrisy, this morning, Canada signed a joint statement condemning the genocide-like violence in Sudan that is being committed by the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. Who is the primary supplier of military equipment to the RSF? It is the United Arab Emirates, whose crown prince the Prime Minister of Canada is hosting tonight. This morning, Canada condemned the massacres, but tonight, it is hosting a banquet in honour of one of the people responsible. Once again, Canada is downplaying human rights abuses. Will the Prime Minister at least raise this issue at his event tonight?”
