Madam Speaker, Canadians are fed up with the woke NDP-Liberal policies that censor Canadians and attack their basic freedoms. Whether it is the freedom to dream of a vibrant future, the freedom to watch the YouTube channel they wish to, or the freedom to access news online, the current federal government has exercised an inordinate amount of autocratic power for the last eight years. However, I am encouraged by the growing number of Canadians who are dreaming of a better and more vibrant future, a future that only freedom can deliver. Imagine what Canada would look like if the Canadian people were put before government, if attacks on personal liberties were relinquished and if hard-working people were freed up to earn powerful paycheques that would buy affordable gas, groceries and homes. This is the type of Canada we can create, and we can do so by generating opportunity for each and every person to reach their greatest potential. It is time to bring home freedom.

Madam Speaker, just a week ago under the Prime Minister's watch, a Nazi was welcomed in this place and actually honoured in the chamber. When the Prime Minister should have been a statesman and taken full responsibility, instead he chose to flee and hide, not just for one day, not just for two days, but actually for five days. For five days he was mute. For five days he watched as our reputation was tarnished, and for five days he was in hiding. He utterly embarrassed our country. The Prime Minister has yet to take responsibility. Will he stand up, do the right thing and do that today?

Madam Speaker, the member proved my point. It is the Prime Minister of Canada who is meant to function as a statesman, to take personal responsibility when a mistake happens. Instead, he chose to flee. He chose to hide. An hon. member: Cowardly. Mrs. Rachael Thomas: Madam Speaker, why did he? Why not take personal responsibility? Why not remedy this on the world stage? Why not acknowledge the grave atrocities that have taken place in our history, the mistake that was made here in the House and the impact that would have on Canadians? I will give him an opportunity today. Would he honourably stand up, take that personal responsibility and apologize to Canadians?
