“Mr. Speaker, Canada's hearts are broken at the loss of two of our frontline police officers, two brave individuals who gave their lives protecting our communities.”
“Mr. Speaker, to my hon. colleague, whom I respect immensely, the issue we are dealing with is that there is an urgency on this particular bill. The mover of the bill said that the sponsor of the bill is in a critical phase of his life, and we are trying to get this passed while he is still with us.”
“Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my hon. colleague, and I know how much time he has spent on this particular bill as well. On the idea of controlling the money and all of that, I would be interested to hear what other amendment or change my colleague thinks could be done that would improve the bill and answer the concerns that he has.”
“Mr. Speaker, millions of Canadians live with vision and eye health problems. During the last Parliament, I was pleased that my private member's bill, the National Strategy for Eye Care Act, passed both the House and the Senate unanimously.”
“They were there to speak of their position as being victims of sexual violence and so on, but also of their concerns that the perpetrators were not getting strong enough sentences.”
“Second, with respect to protecting children, the need for action is urgent. We know that the nature of exploitation has changed. Predators are increasingly using digital platforms to groom, manipulate and extort children. Bill C-16 responds directly to those threats.”

“I believe the ideas that have already been put out there about the ports, the expansion and the infrastructure necessary maybe never would have happened, but now, in the situation we are in, the budget shows that we are going to be investing a lot in infrastructure so companies can get their goods to market faster. We have heard about the importance of economic resilience, ensuring that Canada can withstand global shocks and remain competitive. Budget 2025 supports this by investing in domestic industries, diversifying our trade partnerships and launching a buy Canadian policy that prioritizes Canada suppliers and workers. This is a budget that listens to the needs of our exporters, our manufacturers and our workers and acts decisively to support them.”
“Budget 2025 reinforces Canada's commitment to a rules-based trading system, ensuring that our exporters can compete fairly and that our agreements are respected by everyone. We have also heard about the need for trade infrastructure, the ports, railways and digital systems that move Canadian goods to market. This budget delivers, with major investments in infrastructure that will strengthen our supply chains and support long-term growth. Many times we have heard about the challenges in Churchill and other areas, how our ports need an investment of infrastructure dollars so they can increase their delivery.”
“It is going to be really important that we do that in the future, as we move forward. (1300) That means more Canadian goods. Whether it is steel from Hamilton, tech from Toronto or food from our many farms, reaching new markets and creating new jobs are imperative for a successful future for Canada. As chair of the international trade committee, I want to highlight that this is only one of the many ways this budget aligns with the priorities we are hearing in our current study of the CUSMA trade agreement and the future of North American trade. We have heard from stakeholders across sectors that stability, predictability and enforcement are essential to maintaining confidence in our trade relationships.”
“When asked why they were not moving forward to diversify and to reach out to other markets, the answer was that they were doing well where they were and it is complicated. I think part of our role as parliamentarians is to make things easier for companies to be able to diversify. We should hold their hand, if necessary. EDC does some of that, but again, it does not do enough to meet the needs of what we are dealing with today. We want our companies to feel comfortable that we can walk them through the paperwork and red tape and hold their hand to get them through those opportunities. I think more Canadian companies will do it. We talk about it, but we do not actually deliver the help quickly enough or efficiently enough to encourage them to venture overseas and diversify their markets.”
“Canada is uniquely positioned to thrive in this new global landscape with the right investments and the right leadership, which I hope would come from all of us as members of Parliament. All parliamentarians, at this point, are being called upon to do everything we can to assist companies and families that are struggling, to do it together as parliamentarians and to put aside the partisan issues. We can do far more, and do a better job, if we do it all by working together. The budget launches a trade diversification strategy to double overseas exports over the next decade. I have been the chair of the international trade committee for a few years now, and I have seen many companies that are very comfortable in their achievements.”
“Some of them had businesses that their fathers had started. They looked at all of that as being at risk, with the tariffs and the kinds of pressures Canada is trying to deal with now. It was a very moving experience, and it made me that much more determined to do everything we can to find solutions, stand together and be there for them. We are living through a time of profound global change. The rules-based international order that has supported decades of Canadian prosperity is being reshaped, whether we like it or not. Tariffs are rising, supply chains are shifting, and economic uncertainty is affecting businesses and workers across the country. Budget 2025 does not flinch. It responds with a clear plan to build Canada strong by investing in our economy, protecting our communities and empowering Canadians throughout Canada.”
“They are sharing their concerns about the uncertainty they are living under, the challenges facing them and their desire to help Canada overcome some of the challenges it is facing. I know how deeply interconnected our prosperity is with the global economy. As the proud member of Parliament for Humber River—Black Creek, I know how important it is that our national policies deliver real, tangible benefits to the families, workers and businesses in our communities. I recently had a meeting with the Minister of Small Business and members of the Emery Village Business Improvement Area. We talked about the pressures they were facing when it came to steel and aluminum, in particular, as well as our important auto industry, of course. I could feel their stress across the table, and their concern with everything.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am really pleased today to be able to rise and speak to this incredible budget, which is a real road map toward building and strengthening our great country. We are all proud to be Canadians. The budget is clearly a forward-looking plan. There is a lot in there, and I think it is going to take some time for people to understand it all and to realize what investments we are making and what really matters. As chair of the Standing Committee on International Trade, I will focus my remarks there. I have had the opportunity, along with great committee members, to have many different companies come forward to talk to the committee as we do a CUSMA review. We hear directly from so many businesses, individuals and professionals.”
“We stand in solidarity with all in the Iranian community who continue to suffer under the brutality of the mullah regime, and call for freedom and democracy.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to denounce the heartbreaking case of Ms. Zahra Shahbaz Tabari, a 67-year-old Iranian electrical engineer and human rights advocate who has been sentenced to death by the Iranian regime. Her so-called trial lasted 10 minutes and was conducted via video conference. She was prohibited from retaining a lawyer and sentenced to death based on ridiculous evidence: a piece of cloth bearing the words “woman, resistance, freedom” and an unpublished voice message. This is not justice. It is a cruel and calculated act of repression by a regime that continues to persecute its own people, especially women, for daring to speak out. Hers is just one of a multitude of similar cases this year alone in Iran.”
“Mr. Speaker, I was thrilled to hear the Government of Canada's announcement on the Build Canada Homes initiative. This transformative program is a bold and critical step toward making housing more affordable for Canadians by accelerating the development of affordable homes all across the country. I had the honour of attending one of the many announcements in Toronto and saw first-hand the excitement and hope this program is bringing to all of our communities. Could the minister give the House an update on the great work being done under this housing initiative?”
“Mr. Speaker, just weeks ago, thousands gathered outside the United Nations in New York to demand a free and democratic Iran. Led by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, the rally united international dignitaries, politicians and supporters of the Iranian resistance in rejecting dictatorship and calling for a future rooted in liberty, justice and democratic values. A deeply troubling UN report released just days ago reveals an unprecedented execution spree in Iran, with over 1,000 people executed in just nine months. UN experts warn that Iran is carrying out executions at an industrial scale. The NCRl's 10-point plan rejects foreign intervention and appeasement and champions democratic change, led by the Iranian people. Canada must continue to stand with all those fighting for human rights and democratic freedoms around the world.”
“Mr. Speaker, it is great to see my hon. colleague, whom I have worked with for several years, on the floor of the House. Of course, CBSA is a big part of all of this. Securing the border, we all know, no matter where we live, is something that is extremely important. I continue to be very concerned about the number of guns that flow across the borders, by way of our lakes, our rivers and so on. I would like to see additional resources put into that effort, which is exactly what Bill C-2 would do. It is not only about personnel being there and manning the border; it is also about making sure they have the legislation and the laws in place to be able to carry out what is required to protect all of us, whether it is from the guns crossing the border or from fentanyl, or by tightening up our immigration system.”
“Mr. Speaker, I know how concerned my colleague is, as all of us are. Bill C-2 is necessary today to deal with 2025 and the future years. The current legislation that our police officers and other officials have to deal with is outdated and needed corrections much earlier, had I had my way about it. I look forward to Bill C-2 's protecting my constituents and all Canadians as we move forward, and hopefully we will be able to work together to do that. I believe that, at the end of the day, we all want to make sure that Canada is safe and that we have the proper safeguards that are required.”
“Mr. Speaker, that is a very important question. The bill has been reviewed and will continue to be reviewed. We all know that if it does not meet the calls in the Constitution, then those changes would have to be made. However, the folks who wrote up Bill C-2 clearly believe that it is within the framework that needs to be there to protect all Canadians and to respect our Constitution.”
“Existing mutual legal assistance mechanisms are often too slow for investigations that require digital evidence, especially in light of the volatile nature of data and the ease with which it can be moved or destroyed. Bill C-2 would establish a new mechanism, called an “international production request”, that would allow law enforcement to seek authority from a court in Canada to request subscriber information or transmission data. Bill C-2 is important and is necessary for us to move forward in this new time in our world.”
“The proposed amendments address the examination of data stored on an accessible device by adding terms and conditions relating to the examination of the data. The proposed amendments seek to codify the Supreme Court of Canada's direction on computer searches set out in the 2013 decision R v. Vu. Related to this amendment is clarification that the Criminal Code's existing regime governing the detention of seized property does not apply to data obtained during an investigation. As I previously mentioned, digital evidence is now required in almost all serious criminal and national security investigations. Often this digital evidence may be held outside of Canada; for instance, it may be held by social media companies.”
“For example, when the victim of an online crime such as fraud identifies an IP address when filing a police report or when law enforcement receives tips regarding child sexual exploitation and abuse from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the bill clarifies that law enforcement can receive and act on information, including an IP address, that is provided to them unsolicited and information that is publicly available. This clarification would enable more timely investigations and reduce pressures on the criminal justice system, including police and judicial resources. Bill C-2 would also modernize existing tools like the main research and seizure power in the Criminal Code. It has been in place for decades and was originally designed for the search of physical places and the seizure of tangible things.”
“Bykovets, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed that individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to an IP address that has been assigned to them. An IP address, of course, as we all know, is a unique set of numbers that identifies a device connected to the Internet or a private network. The decision has created uncertainty as to how police can act when an IP address has been provided to them voluntarily.”
“It is designed specifically to allow the police to seek judicial authorization to compel the production of subscriber information. This would be done on a standard that is calibrated to balance the expectation of privacy with the needs of the state to pursue criminal investigations when there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the information will assist in the investigation of an offence, making it something that should be much easier to obtain. (1735) One of the key safeguards embedded in these amendments is requiring judicial authorization prior to the release of any subscriber information. Previous attempts by Parliament to address this issue proposed allowing the police to access subscriber information without prior judicial authorization, but in 2024, in R v.”
“However, this tool was designed for other purposes, and police are often unable to meet its threshold requirements, namely, to demonstrate that they reasonably believe that an offence has been or will be committed and that the subscriber information sought will provide evidence of the offence. If they do not meet those conditions, they cannot obtain a general production order. That is just one example of the difficulties that our law enforcement officers and other authorities have when it comes to securing evidence that is required. These conditions are particularly challenging at the very early stages of investigations. Bill C-2 proposes to address that challenge, post-Spencer, by establishing a new production order.”
“Accordingly, the court held that the police need some type of lawful authority to obtain subscriber information in this context. The Spencer decision has had a significant impact on law enforcement investigations across the country. Since that decision, service providers, in the context of routine investigations, do not provide the police with any information relating to their subscribers without a court order. In the absence of a specific tool to seek lawful authority to obtain subscriber information, law enforcement has been using what is called a general production order.”
“As a result, many types of crimes are easier to commit and harder to detect, investigate and prosecute. The transnational nature of many types of crime and the storage of data in the cloud, beyond the reach of local law enforcement, makes international co-operation a necessity in many of these investigations. The evolving case law in this context also highlights the challenges that law enforcement faces in accessing key information required to investigate many of these serious crimes. I am referring especially to two decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada, in Spencer and in Bykovets, which address child sexual exploitation and abuse material and online fraud. In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada, in Spencer, held that Internet users have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their identity when linked to anonymous online activity.”
“When the police want to investigate something, they often have many roadblocks in being able to do that. How law enforcement obtains evidence in investigations is a real challenge. These provisions, though, have sparked much public comment, and I would like to try to dispel some of the myths about them. Before I do that, I want to provide some of the context that informs the bill that we are debating today. A key challenge facing the criminal justice system right now is that digital evidence is required in almost all criminal and national security investigations. The Internet has fundamentally transformed how many serious offences, such as extortion, fraud and money laundering, are committed. The online world also allows criminals to operate across borders much more easily.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be able to join the debate today. I listened with great sympathy to every word said by my new colleague across the way. I understand the issue very well and sympathize with the challenge that is facing him, and many of us, which is exactly why Bill C-2 is so important in enabling us to make the kinds of changes necessary to give the tools that are required and necessary for the various policing organizations and other organizations that deal with the many issues that Bill C-2 covers. I am happy to be able to speak to it, as well as to welcome my hon. colleague here. I want to focus my remarks on the provisions of the bill that deal with lawful access, which is an issue that many of us have heard about and talked about.”
“Excluding Taiwan from ICAO deliberations undermines our collective mission, because aviation safety knows no borders. Let us stand for safety—”
“Mr. Speaker, on September 23, the 42nd International Civil Aviation Organization Assembly will convene in Montreal, yet Taiwan, which manages the busy and strategically vital Taipei Flight Information Region, remains excluded. Taiwan's absence undermines global aviation safety and contradicts the spirit of the Chicago Convention. As tensions rise over the Taiwan Strait and concerns grow around China's use of the M503 flight path, Taiwan's participation is more critical than ever. Taiwan has a strong record in air traffic safety and deserves a voice at ICAO. Exclusion not only risks aviation coordination but has broader geopolitical implications, including for global trade and Canada's economic interests in the Indo-Pacific.”
“Mr. Speaker, today I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the three following reports from the Standing Committee on International Trade: the first report, in relation to the motion adopted on Monday, June 16, entitled “Measures Relating to the Canadian Border Services Agency's Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) System”; the second report, entitled “Selected United States and European Union Trade-Related Measures: Some Impacts on Canada's Fishing Sector”; and the third report, entitled “Canada’s Supply Chains and Expanded International Trade: Challenges and Measures”.”
“Mr. Speaker, our government is taking strong, targeted action to support the people of Ukraine and to hold Russia accountable for its ongoing war of aggression. In one of our most significant sanctions packages since the invasion began in 2022, we are imposing new sanctions on 77 individuals and 39 entities, and restricting trade on nearly 1,000 items, including those linked to chemical weapons, advanced technologies and critical industrial goods. We are also expanding our crackdown on Russia's shadow fleet by listing over 200 additional vessels, now totalling more than 300, and banning all related services to disrupt Russia's global shipping networks. Sanctions also target key financial institutions, energy companies and individuals enabling Russia's military and disinformation efforts.”
“Madam Speaker, yes, I have been here quite a few years, and at many different times I have seen new ideas and things try to move forward that do not necessarily succeed without political leadership. I continue to call upon all of us as parliamentarians at a very challenging time in front of us. We can either crumple up and say that we cannot do anything about this and that we are just going to give up, or we can turn around and have the kind of leadership our current Prime Minister is showing, along with my colleagues, to move forward into the EV sector and to encourage people to look at and try out these new vehicles. I am sure that once people have actually been in one, they will not want to go back to the standard vehicle of before.”
“Madam Speaker, I want to assure my colleague that all members of the House, I believe, have the right intentions to make sure we are protecting our environment and moving forward in a positive, safe way. This is a great opportunity for Canada for jobs, for production and for us to move forward, but as we move forward, we need to do so while being sensitive to the environment we deal with every day. I believe that by working together, all members of the House, and putting our best out there, we can be successful and can protect our environment and our economy at the same time.”
“Madam Speaker, it is nice to see my colleague back. I find the whole industry very exciting. Within our own family, we have a brand new, great big van that seats seven people, so when we take long trips, we have a great vehicle to do that. However, the vehicle used most in our family is a small electric vehicle. We have had it about seven years, and it has been maintenance-free for seven years. There is absolutely no cost to running this little car, and it is the cleanest thing around. It is very enjoyable to drive. We do not realize just how noisy traditional vehicles are until we get into an EV vehicle and there is perfect peace and quiet. It is amazing, so I think it is exciting times going forward.”
“As the world commits to cleaner vehicles and low-carbon energy, countries are racing to secure stable, responsible sources of these essential minerals. This is a generational chance for Canada to lead, to supply not only our auto sector and EV battery plants—”
“With Canada's wealth of critical minerals, from lithium to nickel, and cobalt to graphite, we are one of the only countries in the world with all of the ingredients required to produce advanced EV batteries from the ground up. That is an amazing and exciting opportunity for all of us. Developing Canada's critical minerals is not just a matter of resource extraction; it is also about creating a strategic, national supply chain, generating high-quality, future-proof jobs and reinforcing Canadian economic sovereignty in an era of global uncertainty. Every new mine and processing facility means paycheques in resource communities, and know-how that stays right here at home. (1215) Globally, demand for critical minerals is skyrocketing.”
“By embracing new technology, we are fulfilling our responsibility to reduce our footprint, which is a responsibility for each and every one of us. We are also meeting the clear demand from global markets. Our trading partners across Europe, Asia and North America are raising their standards and seeking cleaner vehicles. To keep selling Canadian-built cars and trucks, we must meet these expectations. We must stay competitive, or we will risk falling behind and losing economic ground, which is not at all what we want to see. When we talk about the electrification of transportation, we cannot overlook the foundation that makes it possible.”
“The transition is also about more than private vehicles. Businesses are investing in greener fleets, municipalities are running zero-emission buses, and entrepreneurs from coast to coast are using Canadian know-how to manufacture parts and innovate new systems for the world. This is true Canadian leadership that we are hearing about every day: Canadian leadership at its best, building prosperity and protecting our environment at the same time. I would welcome my colleagues remaining in the House to become more supportive of this particular initiative, as it will be very helpful for our planet as we move forward. Let us not forget why the work matters for our planet and our health. On-road transportation accounts for nearly a fifth of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions.”
“We believe, on this side of the House, that Canadians deserve real, reliable information about their options. With every new charging station, every new awareness program and every new vehicle on the road, Canadians are moving forward, not backward. Canadians across every province and territory are choosing electric. In 2024, approximately one in six vehicles sold produces zero emissions, and costs, contrary to some fears, are coming down. As manufacturing ramps up and technology improves, EVs are becoming more accessible, with over 80 models now available in various showrooms. For many, the switch is making life easier and more affordable by reducing fuel costs and maintenance costs. Cleaner vehicles also mean healthier air, something every Canadian wants regardless of where they live or how they vote.”
“Canadians will benefit from a network of tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers, funded by the zero-emission vehicle infrastructure program, and with the Canada Infrastructure Bank's deploying another 5,000 EV chargers, we are making sure charging is available for rural, remote and urban communities, ensuring range anxiety soon becomes a thing of the past. Over the past weekend, I was at a local shopping mall. There were half a dozen chargers there, and every one of them was filled with someone filling up their car, which happens very quickly. They would move out and someone else would move in. The electric vehicle availability standard that the Conservatives are opposing will actually incentivize the construction of thousands of new charging stations.”
“Factories are going up, equipment is coming in, and on top of that, developing new mines and new processing plants for a national EV supply chain will contribute upward of $16 billion to our annual GDP and create up to 40,000 well-paying jobs over the next decade for our children and our grandchildren. That is real economic growth with a real impact on real people's lives. To realize these benefits, Canada has been building. We know that making the decision to switch to electric vehicles is a big step for most families. That is why we have invested in practical support.”
“People want cleaner vehicles because they care about what their families breathe and about the world their children will inherit. Across the globe, we see that countries and companies alike are racing to innovate, breaking ground on new factories and inventing new technologies designed to meet these demands. Canada has the expertise. We have the workers, we have the minerals, we have the manufacturing capacity and now we have the vision to be an energy superpower for the 21st century. Since 2020, over $34 billion has flowed to Canada through major investments in the batteries and automotive supply chain, and that is just the beginning. (1210) These investments are not distant promises.”
“We cannot afford to turn these jobs away during a time when our economy, our sovereignty and our prosperity are in jeopardy. During times of great change, it is easy to feel uncertain. That is understandable for everyone. Every great leap Canada has ever taken demanded leadership, vision and honest conversation, and I believe we are hearing that every single day from the new Prime Minister . In the case of our transportation sector, we know that vehicles are more than just machines. They are the backbone of many Canadians' daily lives. Whether it is work, school, family, opportunities or travel, so much depends on reliable mobility, and it is our job to ensure that mobility remains accessible, affordable and sustainable now and into the future. Over the last several years, the global auto industry has been moving in one clear direction.”
“In a time of uncertainty when Canada is facing the impact of unjustified tariffs from the United States, it is important that we seize every opportunity to expand our industries, including the EV industry, and welcome the thousands of jobs that come with it from end to end, from mining critical minerals for EV batteries, which is very important and a great opportunity for Ontario, in particular, when it comes to the Ring of Fire and exploring the mining industry; to becoming a critical mineral supplier of choice for the world's EV manufacturers, which should make us stop and think about what it will do for our economy; to putting together the necessary infrastructure for Canadian vehicles to remain charged; to welcoming new automotive manufacturing opportunities.”
“People are reflecting on the kinds of jobs they have and might have in the future and the economy and environment they want their children and grandchildren to inherit. It is a huge responsibility we have in our hands in the upcoming years as we move forward. The shift toward electric and zero-emission vehicles is not about limiting choice, because as a government, we very much want to encourage more people to get an electric car and experience it. It is about creating new opportunities for Canadians and keeping our country competitive in a rapidly changing world. More than that, it is about living up to values that have always defined our national character: responsibility, ambition, a drive to build something better for the next generation and protecting our environment.”
“Madam Speaker, it is great to see you looking so fabulous today, and in the chair and back to work the way I know you want to be. I will be sharing my time with the great member for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country . I am really pleased to speak to the issue of EV cars, why they are so important and why we as a government continue to encourage that kind of investment. We are gathered in the chamber at a pivotal moment, not just for our government but for the future of all Canadians everywhere. Beyond these walls, families, workers and business owners are thinking about what comes next. It is a very challenging time for our country, but also a very exciting time to look at a different way of doing business than how we were doing it and running the government previously.”
“Mr. Speaker, fentanyl has torn through communities and ripped families apart throughout various areas of Canada. Our government was given a strong mandate to keep all Canadians safe. Can the Minister of Public Safety update the House on the recent law enforcement seizures, which are keeping drugs off the streets of Canada?”
“In March 2024, the Subcommittee on International Human Rights issued a news release to “call for the release of Jimmy Lai, and express their solidarity with everyone advocating for freedom and justice in Hong Kong”, echoing that Jimmy Lai “stood up for truth and for his fellow Hong Kongers, and now we must stand up for him.” Parliament has a proud tradition of supporting such individuals, as shown in 2023 when it granted honorary Canadian citizenship to Russian dissident Vladimir Kara-Murza. I now call upon the Government of Canada to make Jimmy Lai an honorary citizen of Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, Jimmy Lai, a 77-year-old pro-democracy advocate and journalist, stands for values cherished by Canadians: media freedom and the rule of law. Despite his age and health issues, Mr. Lai remains imprisoned in torturous condition under Hong Kong's repressive national security law, the provisions of which are inconsistent with international human rights law.”
“I would not have been elected and re-elected without the tireless efforts of many volunteers during the campaign, to name a few: Terryl, Chris, Juan, Marina, Chris, Dave, Miss Emma and Marianne. There are many more I would like to acknowledge; however, unfortunately, my time is limited. I will continue to honour my oath to serve our community of Humber River—Black Creek with dedication and integrity as we work together to build a better Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am honoured, as are my colleagues, to rise in the House for the 45th Parliament and to thank the constituents of Humber River—Black Creek for giving me the great opportunity and privilege of representing them for the 10th time here in Ottawa. I want to thank my tireless husband, Sam, and my children, Cathy, Deanna and Sam, for their continued support. I give a special thanks to my son-in-law, Graziano, for his immense support during the election; daughter-in-law, Claudia; and the grandchildren. I also thank my staff, Amy, Albert, Abby, Stephanie and Xania, for their dedication to helping the residents of Humber River—Black Creek every day.”
“A licensed construction worker in Toronto should be able to freely work elsewhere, whether in Newfoundland or Saskatchewan. Those barriers have been put up for a variety of reasons and need to be gone so that people have the freedom to go and come as they please.”
