As of October 1st, all COVID-19 entry restrictions, as well as testing, quarantine, and isolation requirements for anyone entering Canada have been lifted. Masks will also no longer be required on transportation systems, including airplanes and in airport arrival areas.

These sanctions are in response to gross human rights violations that have been committed in Iran, including its systematic persecution of women and in particular, the egregious actions committed by Iran's so-called 'Morality Police,' which led to the death of Mahsa Amini while under their custody.

The Constitution of Canada requires that federal electoral districts be reviewed after each decennial census to reflect changes and movements in Canada's population. The redistribution process is independent and non-partisan.

Our government stands in solidarity with Iranians and women around the world who are rightfully denouncing the death of Mahsa and are exercising their right to peacefully protest.

LONGFIELD: This depiction of climate action as a polarizing choice between the livelihoods of farm families and reducing emissions is not only inaccurate, it also distracts from the important conversation that the ongoing consultation is attempting to have.

Equally important is hearing from the industry on how emissions can be accurately monitored without burdening farmers with additional paperwork and increased reporting requirements.

I know this dismissal comes as a disappointment to Kanata residents—many of whom were hoping that the Supreme Court would provide final arbitration and prevent ClubLink’s development of our cherished greenspace. I share in this disappointment.

Today, Jenna Sudds, Parliamentary Secretary for Women, Gender Equality and Youth, announced $100,000 in funding to MAX Ottawa, a community-based organization focused on the health of gay and bisexual men.

This funding is being provided through the HIV and Hepatitis C Community Action Fund to help those currently most impacted by the outbreak of MPOX.

Electric vehicles make a lot of economic sense, and can end up being less expensive than comparable gas powered vehicles. Canadian companies that specialize in EV batteries can repurpose and recycle 95% of the battery components today.

Jobs are plentiful, unemployment is at record lows, yet Canadians are still finding it hard to pay their bills at the end of the month. Inflation has been a major aftershock from the pandemic.

When filling up the tank with gas, buying groceries, or paying rent, the cost of living is up and it’s a real challenge for residents.

I’d like to start by expressing my deep gratitude to the teams at Hydro Ottawa, Hydro One, out of town crews, first responders, City of Ottawa staff, and the many community groups and volunteers who have helped restore safety and power in our communities following the unprecedented storm on May 21st.

As of new reports, less than 10% of departing passengers at Pearson are waiting for more than 15 minutes, compared to 23% in early May.

As Canadians watch the ideological backsliding of the United States’ once-enshrined reproductive rights, we now hold two moral obligations: to become a country of medical refuge for women in need of an abortion; and to ensure the same erosion of fundamental bodily autonomy never finds its way onto our country’s legislative or judicial agenda.

Jobs are plentiful, unemployment is at record lows, yet Canadians are still finding it hard to pay their bills at the end of the month. Inflation has been a major aftershock from the pandemic. While no single country can end global supply chain snarls or insulate their country from global gas shortages, we can help Canadians weather this storm.
