Mr. Speaker, it is so nice to see you back in the chair. Last week, the Liberals said they would move ahead with a disability benefit bill. People with disabilities deserve meaningful support from the government, and they have made it clear that the last bill was not good enough. Any new legislation must spell out comprehensive support. It cannot leave people behind. People living with disabilities have been waiting over a year for better. Will the Prime Minister promise that any new legislation will actually lift Canadians with disabilities out of poverty?

Mr. Speaker, I am always pleased to see members of the NDP asking about this file. It is one that we take extraordinarily seriously and have continued to lead on every step of the way, including through the difficult times of the pandemic, by being there for Canadians living with disabilities. That is why we are very pleased to be moving forward to reintroduce the Canada disabilities legislation. We know that support for people with disabilities is extremely important, but we also know that getting it right really matters. We do nothing about people with disabilities without Canadians with disabilities' input, and that is why we will be working with the community to make sure we are getting it right.

Mr. Mike Morrice (Kitchener Centre, GP)
Mr. Speaker, this is it. The Prime Minister has one last opportunity before we vote on Bill C-216. A national crisis requires federal leadership. There are moms, such as Irene and Angela, who are with us today, and the tens of thousands more across the country, who have lost loved ones to a poisoned drug supply. The Prime Minister can put people's lives ahead of politics. He can turn around right now and give his caucus permission to support having expert input at committee. Will he do it?

Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, we are acting to keep Canadians safe. We have moved forward with a proposal, working hand in hand with the provincial government in British Columbia to make sure that, as we move forward, people have the supports in their community and in the local health system. We need a wraparound approach, which B.C. is leading on, and we are very pleased to work with them. We also look forward to working with any other jurisdiction that wants to take on this responsible approach, which British Columbia and its NDP government has led with. We stand with them, and we thank them for their leadership as we move forward.

Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a point of order. During question period, I and a number of members on this side of the House heard the member for Kildonan—St. Paul make an intemperate if not incendiary remark in response to an answer the Prime Minister was making with regard to the over-incarceration of indigenous peoples and Black Canadians. I am confident that this member will not want those remarks to stand in the Hansard. I ask that you, Mr. Speaker, offer her the opportunity to withdraw those remarks or to significantly clarify them to the House.

Mr. Speaker, I am very reluctant to repeat those comments because they were so incendiary and intemperate. If I may, I might ask you, Mr. Speaker, to review Hansard and to review the comments that I am certain our reporters heard. To answer the member's question, it was not a question that she posed to the Prime Minister. Rather, it was a statement that she made while the Prime Minister was answering.
