House Hansard - 218

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 21, 2023 02:00PM
Context: House Hansard - 218 - Jun/21/23
Mr. Todd Doherty
Mr. Speaker, an Ottawa police officer, Sergeant Eric Mueller, was ambushed with two of his colleagues three weeks ago. Eric Mueller lost his life. An Ottawa police officer was attacked this past weekend. A London fire chief was viciously assaulted while attending a fire emergency on the weekend. A nurse was punched and kicked this past weekend. On the last day of this session, we need to send a message to our first responders and frontline heroes that violence against them is unacceptable. Therefore, there have been discussions among parties, and I believe that if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent to pass the following motion. I move that notwithstanding any Standing Order, special order or usual practice of this House, Bill C-321, an act to amend the Criminal Code with respect to assaults against health care professionals and first responders, be amended by replacing the term “health care professionals” with “health care workers” throughout the entirety of the bill; be amended by replacing the term “first responders” with “public safety personnel” throughout the entirety of the bill; be amended by adding after clause 269.02 on the definition of a health care worker, for the purpose of subclause (1), “health care worker includes any individual employed in a health care”— Some hon. members: No.

I am afraid that there is a long list of points, and in order to get through them, as soon as I hear “no” from some members, we understand that the consultation that really should be taking place beforehand maybe did not quite work out the way it should. We will now go to the member for Oshawa.

Mr. Speaker, this is on the point of order from my colleague for Elgin—Middlesex—London. I was also witness to the Prime Minister saying the F-word in question period today after his response to an opposition party member. This is shocking and unparliamentary language.

I am afraid there is no unanimous consent. I realize that sometimes, some of the rules are used to help us gain what we want in the House and then just postpone things, but at least let the hon. member get a few words in before, so that we are sure; I am very specific on “a few”.
