Mr. Speaker, this government has recognized the rise in intolerance of all kinds across the country. We have a duty to identify, recognize, and fight such intolerance. That is why we appointed a special representative on combatting Islamophobia. We have a special representative for combatting anti-Semitism. Unlike the Bloc Québécois, we recognize the existence of systemic discrimination within all of our institutions. We must recognize the challenges so that we can bring Canadians together, recognize the challenges we face, and work together to create a country that is more peaceful and more respectful than it is now.

Mr. Speaker, as the member opposite well knows, I am a proud Quebecker. I am proud that the Liberal Party of Canada has more members from Quebec than the Bloc Québécois. We are proud Quebeckers, and we know that, in every province and in every institution across the country, we have systemic racism and discrimination challenges we must address. That is the work we are doing because we know that everyone needs to feel included and respected within our country. Unfortunately, intolerance is on the rise across the country. It is incumbent upon all of us to bring people together and listen to each other.
