Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
At this point, I'd like to move the motion that I gave notice of on June 21, 2023. That motion states:
That, given the rising tide of hate and violence directed toward the 2SLGBTQI+ community at home and around the world, the House call on leaders at all levels of government in Canada to:
a. speak out strongly in favour of Canadian values of equality and inclusion for the 2SLGBTQI+ community;
b. deplore all disruptions of lawful public activities including Pride events and all children’s sport and educational activities; and
c. condemn all attempts to disrupt democratic institutions including school boards when dealing with policies concerning equality and inclusion.
I'd like to move the motion and ask that the motion be adopted by this committee and reported back to the House at the earliest possible moment.
With your permission, I'll say a few words about the motion.
