  1. “In particular, I would like to salute the moral leadership of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who has distinguished herself not only to the people of New Zealand but to the whole world.”

  2. “Our work cannot be undertaken in isolation. Each of our countries will of course address this issue in different ways, but we need to recognize that this is ultimately an international problem, and we need to act collectively to address it. The Internet and social media know no borders, so we must work together to find ways to address online radicalization. And, on a final note, on behalf of Canada and Canadians, I would like to offer our support and compassion for the people of New Zealand. As fellow members of the Commonwealth, Canada and New Zealand have a close and historic relationship. We are more than friends; we are family. And Canadians felt great compassion and real pain following the terrible attacks in Christchurch.”

  3. “In the wake of acts of terrorism carried out by Muslim extremists, Western countries often call upon Muslim countries and Muslim leaders to condemn those attacks in the name of their people and their faith. It should follow that, as the Foreign Minister of a majority white and majority Christian country, I feel a specific and personal responsibility to denounce white-supremacist attacks in the same way. As my prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said in our House of Commons following the Christchurch attack, "[w]hen we fail to denounce hatred with total conviction, we empower those people and legitimize their violence". Hatred, unfortunately, is eternal, but the ways in which it spreads change. Today, hatred is increasingly spread through the Internet - in online forums and on social media. We must be aware of this and work to stop it.”

  4. “Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, incels, nativists and radical anti-globalists who resort to violent acts are a threat to the stability of my country and countries around the world. These attacks need to be at the top of our agenda when we talk about confronting terrorism. And when violence like this occurs in mosques, churches, synagogues or on the streets of our major cities, we must not be afraid to specifically condemn it for what it is: neo-Nazism, white supremacism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, terrorism. We cannot hide behind euphemisms that distract from truth. In fact, doing so puts our citizens, especially those from religious minorities and racialized communities, in greater danger.”

  5. “Ms. Freeland (Canada) (spoke in French): I would like to begin by thanking France for organizing today's open debate. Canada is proud to have co-sponsored resolution 2462 (2019) adopted this morning. We believe that it will contribute to strengthening our collective efforts to combat terrorism in all its forms. Today I would like to highlight one of the most serious terrorist threats of our time: white supremacy. (spoke in English) White supremacism and Islamophobia are among the gravest terrorist threats that the world is facing today. We were all reminded of this tragic reality on 15 March, when a white-supremacist terrorist killed 50 Muslims gathered in two mosques for Friday prayers in Christchurch, New Zealand. This attack was all too familiar to me, a Canadian. Two years ago, a terrorist killed six people in a Quebec City mosque.”
