(iii) in the 1980s, some coaches and sports federations put the health, safety, and well-being of athletes far behind the pursuit of victory,

(iv) in the 1990s, the years of horrific abuse that Sheldon Kennedy and others suffered should have been a wake-up call for the Canadian hockey community and the entire sport system,

(vi) while there has been movement on safe sport, there is still resistance in some areas to instituting changes that would better protect athletes and young people,

(ii) the Auditor General of Canada has said the government will not meet their own targets to reduce chronic homelessness,

(iii) the financialization of housing has worsened the crisis by treating housing like a stock market, despite housing being enshrined in the law as a basic human right,

(iv) financialized landlords, such as real estate investment trusts (REIT), have profited from Canada’s urgent housing crisis by purchasing affordable housing stock and reno-evicting tenants to jack-up rents,

(v) real estate investment trusts enjoy preferential tax treatment and the seven largest REITs alone have saved a combined $1.5 billion through federal tax loopholes, and on April 3, 2023, the Parliamentary Budget Officer estimated that the federal government would collect $285.8 million in additional tax revenues from 2023 to 2027,

(vi) over the last 30 years, Canada has lost 500,000 units of affordable housing due to the government’s cancellation of the affordable housing strategy in 1993,

(vii) between 2011 and 2016, Canada lost 322,600 affordable rental units in the private market; for every unit of affordable housing created by government, 15 were lost; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) adopt a human-rights based approach to housing, as enshrined under the National Housing Strategy Act,

(ii) place a moratorium on the acquisition of affordable homes by financialized landlords, including REITs and corporate firms who are making massive profits while driving up costs,

(iii) change the federal tax code to end the preferential tax treatment of REITs in Canada by applying the corporate tax rate, and invest that money into affordable housing,

(iv) create a federal non-profit acquisition fund to allow non-profit, co-op, or land trust organizations to purchase at-risk rental buildings when they come on the market to protect and expand Canada’s affordable housing supply,

(v) tie Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation backed financing, funding, or insurance to private landlords to specific criteria, including below-market affordability thresholds, ensuring affordability remains in perpetuity, no displacement guarantees, and minimum maintenance and energy efficiency standards,

(vi) require progressively larger down payments for buyers purchasing multiple properties, to disincentivize the treatment of housing as a stock-market,

(vii) mandate landlords to disclose property ownership and work with the provinces and territories to establish a national rental registry.

(vi) Canada is committed to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, has passed legislation to incorporate the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into Canadian law, and is committed to working in partnership with Indigenous Peoples on nature conservation,

(vii) old growth forests are made up of first growth trees aged 250 or more years old on the coast of British Columbia and typically 140 years or more elsewhere, are iconic for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians alike, are critical habitat for many species at risk, often store more than twice the accumulated carbon per hectare than secondary forests, making them one of the most effective nature-based solutions to climate change, and provide ecosystem services both measurable and beyond what can be measured,

(viii) less than 8% of the most productive big treed old growth forests remain in British Columbia, and less than a third of all old growth forests have legal protection,

(vii) the Iranian regime has arbitrarily and brutally suppressed ethnic and religious minorities, including Iranian Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Christians, Jews, Baha’is, Zoroastrians, and even Sunni Muslims, has deprived them of their basic human rights, and has in many cases executed them,

(viii) Amnesty International, in its report entitled “Blood-Soaked Secret” of December 2018, described the 1988 massacre of political prisoners following a fatwa by Ayatollah Khomeini to execute those who remained steadfast in their support for the Iranian opposition, as “ongoing crimes against humanity,”

(ix) on June 30, 2018, tens of thousands of people gathered in Paris at the Free Iran gathering where they supported advocates for a democratic, secular, and nonnuclear Republic of Iran, and showed support for Mrs. Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan for the future of Iran, which calls for the universal right to vote, free elections, and a market economy, and advocates gender, religious, and ethnic equality, a foreign policy based on peaceful coexistence, and a nonnuclear Iran,

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) the inability of the United Nations and its Security Council to effectively counter emerging challenges due to an abusive and unconstrained exercise of the right to veto, most recently demonstrated in the context of the Russian aggression against Ukraine, constitutes an existential threat to national security of Canada,

(ii) Article 2(2) of the UN Charter provides that its members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter,

(iii) the right to veto is both a right and benefit resulting from membership and, thus, should only be available in case of good faith performance of obligations under the Charter,

(iv) an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice requested by the UN General Assembly is an effective way to interpret the UN Charter,

(v) failure of the United Nations to observe consistency in applying its own rules, including admission of the Russian Federation in violation of Art. 4 of the UN Charter in 1991 and differing from the treatment of other members in similar situations, has undermined Organization’s integrity; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) initiate and actively pursue text-based discussions on a comprehensive UN Security Council reform,

(ii) advocate for a limitation of the right to veto in the Security Council in cases where there is evidence of international crimes or when a permanent member has gravely violated the UN Charter,

(iii) promote a change in the composition of its membership to better reflect today’s global order,

(iv) consider initiating a UN General Assembly resolution requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice regarding potential restrictions on the right to veto of the Security Council permanent members deriving from the UN Charter and general principles of law,

M-91 — September 14, 2023 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) volunteer firefighters and search and rescue participants contribute positive value to the social fabric of their communities,

(ii) community service with positive social utility above and beyond the call of duty should be rewarded, especially in proportion to the length of a person’s service,

(iii) it is the duty of the government to address the ongoing rise in the cost of living, especially for people on limited incomes, because many retired volunteer firefighters and search and rescue participants get incomes solely from Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security, on which they pay tax, yet many of them have costly ailments owing to past exposure to hazardous substances in the line of duty; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should implement the provisions of Bill C-310, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (volunteer firefighting and search and rescue volunteer tax credit), including by

(i) amending the Income Tax Act to increase the base level of income eligible for tax exemption from $3,000 to $10,000 for volunteer firefighters and search and rescue participants who have served in either or both capacity for 20 years or longer and may spend any length of time at the position, not needing to be active for 200 hours in the year, before becoming eligible for this exemption,

(ii) guaranteeing that all persons eligible to receive this exemption do so until they pass on, on the conditions that combined time spent in an operational role during the eligible persons’ period of service must have been equal to or greater than 10 years, and eligible persons may count any length of time spent in administrative or supporting roles towards their 20 years of service provided they meet the conditions mentioned in this motion.

M-92 — September 14, 2023 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) we are in the middle of both a climate crisis and a cost-of-living crisis,

(ii) people across the country are struggling to afford housing and food, while also dealing with formerly unprecedented climate disasters that will only continue to get worse if urgent action is not taken,

(iii) while this is happening, fossil fuel companies made record profits last year, with the five largest fossil fuel companies operating in Canada alone making record annual profits of over $38 billion,

(iv) a significant portion of these profits were made as a result of price-gouging at the pump in 2022, costing Canadians an additional 18 cents per litre more than typical profit margins on fuel, far more than the increase of 2 cents per litre from carbon pricing during that same period,

(v) despite these immense profits, most fossil fuel companies have announced their intention to, or have already begun, walking back what few climate pledges they had made,

(vi) for other large industries operating in Canada, such as banking and insurance, that made profits in excess of their average annual profit over the preceding 10 years, the government has recognized these profits as unreasonable profiteering off of Canadians during a time of economic hardship and put into place a 15% windfall tax on these profits through the 2022 Fall Economic Statement’s Canada Recovery Dividend,

(vii) the Parliamentary Budget Officer has determined that extending the Canada Recovery Dividend to include the excess profits of fossil fuel companies operating in Canada could generate additional revenues of up to $4.4 billion,

(viii) larger windfall taxes have been applied to excess profits of oil and gas companies operating in the United Kingdom, at a rate of 25% generating 5 billion pounds (approximately $8.4 billion), and in Europe, at a rate of 21% generating 140 billion euros (approximately $203 billion); and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) immediately extend the Canada Recovery Dividend to include the excess profits of fossil fuel companies operating in Canada,

(ii) reallocate the revenue raised to support further action on proven solutions that both address the climate crisis and improve affordability for Canadians, such as investments in public transit, retrofitting buildings, and greening the electricity grid, in recognition that carbon pricing cannot be a standalone climate policy.

(ii) international students contribute significantly to the Canadian economy, more than $22.3 billion annually, greater than our annual national exports for auto parts, lumber or aircraft,

(iii) international students are a critical boost to the workforce and provide talent needed to strengthen our economy and counteract our aging demographic, and are also a major source of short- and long-term labour in Canada,

(iv) international students attending colleges and universities pay, on average, three to five times more in tuition fees than domestic students, and tuition increases for international students in Canada have been as large as 20% annually,

(vi) international students have increasingly been enticed to Canada with unrealistic promises of easy pathways to securing jobs and immigration status that leaves them vulnerable to exploitation by unregulated education agents, aggregators and other actors in the education and immigration systems,

(vii) this has created an environment whereby education policy is increasingly being conflated with immigration policy by some public and private post-secondary institutions, education agents and other actors in the education and immigration systems,

(viii) many international students face significant financial difficulties once they arrive in Canada, including higher than expected costs for food and necessities, greater difficulty finding a safe and affordable place to live, and greater difficulty finding a job,

(ix) many international students are arriving in Canada with misaligned expectations about the cost of living and housing availability and affordability and, as a result, are not being set up for success in attending post-secondary institutions in Canada,

(x) Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has not updated its estimated cost of living figures used to assess applicants for a study permit or Student Direct Stream (SDS) visa since 2015 and these estimates are currently nearly half of what a student typically spends per month to attend school in Canada’s largest cities,

(xi) despite participating in its drafting as a member of the Roundtable on the Integrity of International Education, Canada has not signed onto the 2012 Statement of Principles for the Ethical Recruitment of International Students (the London Statement) that establishes a unified set of principles and outlines a joint international code of ethical conduct for education agents and the recruitment of international students,

(xii) other countries have established national codes of ethical practice for education agents based on the London Statement, setting out a regulatory framework for student representatives, private and public institutions, student recruiters and education consultants,

(xiii) while exponential increases in the number of international students in Canada have contributed to the current national housing crisis and these students are often blamed for the many current economic and social challenges facing Canada, these students are also the victims of limited and often unsuitable housing,

(xiv) Canadian post-secondary institutions and provincial and territorial governments have stated that any cap on international students being permitted to study in Canada would not help to solve these crises,

(xv) government at all levels and both public and private colleges and universities must do more to ensure that international students coming to Canada are better set up for success once they arrive here, including ensuring their expectations for cost of living and housing are aligned with current economic realities; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) double the current proof of financial support eligibility criteria to $20,000 for the visa applicant, plus an additional $8,000 for the first accompanying family member and an additional $6,000 for each additional accompanying family member, to obtain a study permit (excluding Quebec) or a SDS visa,

(ii) review and update the estimated cost of living figures used to assess applications for a study permit or SDS visa at least every three years to reflect current financial realities,

(iii) require study permit and SDS visa holders to periodically report to IRCC, after they arrive in Canada and as a condition of maintaining their permit or visa, continued proof of sufficient financial support by demonstrating a minimum amount of funds held at a Canadian financial institution,

(iv) re-establish a limit in the number of allowable off-campus work hours for study permit or SDS visa holders to a maximum of 20 hours per week to ensure international students remain primarily focused on their studies while also having the ability to financially support themselves while in Canada,

(v) provide international students issued a study permit or SDS visa with a detailed information package that outlines their legal rights in Canada, including guidance on how to find housing, their housing rights under applicable provincial or territorial law, employment rights, and what to do if they have been a victim of a crime or inappropriate behaviour,

(vi) sign and publicly endorse the London Statement, and incorporate it into Canada’s policies and practices for education agents and the recruitment of international students by establishing a national regulatory framework and code of ethical practice to ensure a uniform ethical standard of service and care is provided to international students coming to Canada by education agents, post-secondary institutions and other actors,

(vii) Conduct periodic assessments of all designated learning institutions (DLIs) approved to host international students, and restrict their ability to do so by having IRCC limit visas issued to them, when 15 per cent or more of their international students either do not enroll in courses, withdraw from studies, or transfer out after arriving in Canada, as has been instituted by other signatories to the London Statement,

(viii) call on colleges and universities (both public and private), in collaboration with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and Statistics Canada regarding off-campus housing, to provide prospective international students with a detailed information package as part of their offer of acceptance that outlines availability and costs of on-campus accommodations and off-campus housing, including detailing total number of rental units, rental vacancy rates, average rents, number of rental units under construction, and number of rental units projected to be completed in the next year,

(ix) call on all colleges and universities (both public and private) to dedicate and redirect annually a consistent proportion of their annual revenues from international student tuition to increased supports for and availability of on-campus housing and employment for international students,

(x) create a dedicated infrastructure funding stream under the National Housing Strategy to supplement investments by colleges and universities in building housing options for domestic and international students and expand the use of CMHC’s rental construction financing initiative to include post-secondary institutions, incentivizing them to build more affordable housing options for domestic and international students.

M-99 — October 25, 2023 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) local businesses continue to struggle in the face of inflation, interest rates and staffing challenges,

(ii) Canada Emergency Benefit Account loans provided small business with vital assistance at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now those businesses need more time to repay pandemic-related debt and they shouldn’t be forced to forgo the federal government’s $20,000 loan forgiveness offer as a result,

(iii) without a significant extension of the Canada Emergency Benefit Account loan forgiveness deadline, more than 250,000 Canadian businesses will be in jeopardy and nearly 47 percent of the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses’ members in British Columbia are at risk of having to close their doors,

(iv) the federal government’s current 18-day extension offer is grossly insufficient; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should extend the Canada Emergency Benefit Account loan forgiveness deadline until the end of 2024 to give small businesses who are struggling with high costs a needed break.

(iii) join efforts with the relevant parties to prevent any possible cyber interference in the Canadian political environment,

(iv) promote additional research about the intricacies in ownership tendencies among the leading social media platforms to detect any potential vulnerabilities for their further use in Canada and urgently develop a constructive strategy with further steps on how to proceed regarding these tendencies,

(v) take into consideration the circumstances of the ongoing conflicts around the world and their impact on the disinformation on a global level, especially the Russian digital propaganda in the context of the Russian unjustified and unprovoked aggression against Ukraine,

(vi) cooperate with the well-established Ukrainian and European-wide NGOs with a robust history of countering the disinformation regarding the cases of disinformation materials spread by Russia where Canada is mentioned,

(vii) examine the examples of Canada being misused by Russia in its disinformation campaigns and work together with the Ukrainian fact-checkers and disinformation specialists on ways of damage control and prevention of further escalation of disinformation against Canada and its assistance efforts in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine,

(viii) consider other ongoing conflicts around the world that are reshaping the modern informational landscape and examine the coping strategy for each individual case,

(ix) work together with vulnerable communities directly affected by the disinformation campaigns in the conflict-affected areas, such as minority groups, survivors of sexual violence, refugees, children, locals at the temporarily occupied territories, etc.,

(x) raise awareness about the importance of media literacy in the circumstances mentioned above and promote fair practices to ensure a prominent level of “informational hygiene” in cooperation with the relevant specialists,

(xi) support the media literacy initiatives in other countries by any means, especially those targeted towards the conflict-affected communities, i.e. in Ukraine.

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) national data shows the number of Canadian teenagers regularly using vaping products ranks among the highest in the world,

(ii) experts have noted that a lack of action from the federal government and the widespread availability of flavoured vaping products is fuelling a growing youth vaping crisis in Canada,

(iii) vaping among young people is associated with serious negative health impacts, including addiction, harm to brain development, seizures, increased risk for tobacco and other substance use, mental health problems, pulmonary and cardiovascular disease, unintentional injuries, decreased breathing, and difficulties with concentration,

(iv) in June 2021 Health Canada stated its intention to reduce youth vaping by removing flavourings from vaping products, but has failed to follow through to date,

(v) vaping has been marketed as an effective way to quit smoking, but vaping products have never been approved as smoking cessation aids in Canada,

(vi) data from Statistics Canada shows that Canadians aged 15 to 19 use flavoured vaping products at a much higher rate than older age groups,

(vii) data from Statistics Canada shows that fruit, candy, and dessert flavoured vape products are more commonly used by youth aged 15 to 19 than older age groups; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should restrict the manufacture and sale of vaping products with flavours or aromas other than tobacco in Canada.

M-104 — November 23, 2023 — — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should:

(d) recognize individuals’ right to access a comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health services, including a range of modern methods of contraception for voluntary use, free from barriers, as an integral foundation to fulfilling the highest attainable measure of health;

(e) recognize that particular groups such as youth, immigrants, Indigenous peoples, people living in rural and remote communities and those of low socioeconomic status face marginalization in healthcare which can create a greater barrier to accessing contraceptives;

(f) recognize the right of individuals who can get pregnant to make free and informed decisions regarding their reproductive choices; and

(g) commit to support the reproductive health and well-being of individuals and their communities by

(i) fully funding data collection and reporting on sexual health indicators (including contraception use data) to inform sound policy decisions relating to sexual and reproductive health,

(ii) negotiating with provincial governments to cover the costs of all prescribed contraceptives (including emergency contraceptives) and medications for medical abortions,

(iii) increasing transfers from federal to provincial governments to cover these costs.

M-105 — December 4, 2023 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remain incompatible with what science and justice demand to secure a livable future,

(ii) mobilization for climate action at the scale required must be a grand societal undertaking,

(iii) thousands of young people across Canada understand that we face a climate emergency and are eager to serve as we, as a country, seek to drive down GHG emissions and prepare for climate disasters,

(iv) a Youth Climate Corps could train hundreds of thousands of youth for careers in the well-paying green jobs of the future, and help ensure Canada has a skilled workforce for a sustainable economy,

(v) an ambitious Youth Climate Corps would be a transformative public program, signaling to young people and society at large that we are genuinely in climate emergency mode,

(vi) a Youth Climate Corps could also help Canada address many of our other gravest challenges, including inequality, youth mental health, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, the housing crisis, shortages of skilled labour and lack of opportunities for young people; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) implement a Youth Climate Corps to lead the mass-mobilization required to train and employ thousands of young adults, aged 17 to 35, to assist in emergency responses required during extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat domes, and flooding,

(ii) strengthen community and environmental resilience to climate change, such as helping to make forests more resilient to fires, enhancing natural ecosystems, improving local infrastructure, and strengthening community supports in anticipation of extreme weather events,

(iii) build infrastructure that drives down GHG emissions, for example through installing renewable energy systems, such as solar, wind, and heat pumps, improving building energy efficiency, building sustainable and affordable public transportation systems, and many other initiatives,

(iv) achieve the goals laid out in (b)(i) to (b)(iii) through transparent and inclusive consultation, collaboration, and partnership with Indigenous Peoples, frontline and vulnerable communities, labour unions, worker cooperatives, civil society groups, academia, and businesses, by implementing a whole of government approach to the creation and implementation of the Youth Climate Corps and by involving appropriate government departments, such as Environment and Climate Change Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Indigenous Services Canada, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, Employment and Social Development Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Department of Finance Canada, and others,

(v) consider establishing a new Youth Climate Corps crown corporation to lead this effort, deploying funds and youth to work on community projects that maximize the reduction of greenhouse gases and swiftly enhance community and ecological resilience to climate change.

M-107 — January 31, 2024 — — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should safeguard the Canada Disability Benefit from any potential clawbacks and engage in comprehensive consultations with the disability community to ensure the effective implementation of the Canada Disability Benefit by:

(i) ensuring that the Canada Disability Benefit is adequate to lift people living with disabilities out of poverty,

(ii) acknowledging the multitude of unseen expenses associated with living with a disability, which exacerbates financial strain, particularly amidst escalating costs of living and inflation crises,

(iii) recognizing the adverse impact of benefit entitlement reductions as families earn higher taxable incomes, perpetuating cycles of poverty among lower-income households,

(iv) collaborating with provinces and territories to fortify support systems for individuals with disabilities, thereby fostering inclusive and supportive communities across the county.

(ii) volunteer firefighters account for 71% of Canada's total firefighting essential first responders,

(iii) given the climate crisis, communities will rely more on volunteer firefighters and search and rescue participants,

(iv) community service with positive social utility above and beyond the call of duty should be rewarded, especially in proportion to the length of a person’s service,

(v) retired volunteer firefighters and search and rescue participants who rely on the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security and who are on fixed incomes may have costly ailments owing to past exposure to hazardous substances in the line of duty; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should consider the advisability of limiting the April 1, 2024, increase of the excise tax on beer, wine and liquor to the Bank of Canada’s target inflation rate of 2%.

M-115 — March 14, 2024 — — That, in the opinion of the House, the government should formally apologize to Black Canadians for its role, intended or not, in chattel enslavement in Canada, address the generational disadvantageous effects of enslavement and its systemic racist legacy, commit to undertaking inputs for judicial, educational, fiscal and cultural equity, with Black Canadian collaboration, so that they can take part in “The Canadian Dream” equitably, and officially recognize pre-Abolition Act pioneering African Canadians as a distinct culture in Canada which would serve to:

(i) present African Canadians with a deserved apology for over 200 years of chattel enslavement in Canada,

(ii) address the Canadian government's role, intended, implicit or indifferent, taking responsibility for their role in chattel enslavement and its racist legacy,

(iii) acknowledge that chattel enslavement was initiated over 400 years ago to assemble a cheap, ready, usable work force who were dehumanized, dispersed globally and used as the low-cost machinery of the day,

(iv) acknowledge that African peoples were targeted to be used in this capacity, because of their abundance and skills, but most specifically because of the colour of their skin, which forestalled escaping and blending into neighboring communities,

(v) acknowledge that the linguistic skills of a free Black man, Mathieu DaCosta, opened North America for colonization by the French in 1605, in colonial Canada, the “Code Noir”, a 1743 ordinance decreed by King Louis XIV, stipulated that both Indigenous and Black slaves brought to the French colony would be considered the possession of those who purchased them, and that Great Britain continued to condone and practice chattel enslavement after defeating the French at the Plains of Abraham in 1759,

(vi) make clear that after the Slavery Abolition Act, 1834, the Dominion of Canada, created in 1867, continued systemic racism developed during slavery, perpetuating and practicing discriminatory beliefs in society, institutions, organizations and legislation effectively treating Blacks as marginalized inferiors,

(vii) reiterate that rightfully Black Canadians' social, political, cultural and economic contributions to the progress of this country deserve to be acknowledged, embraced, genuinely respected, dignified, appropriately redressed and celebrated in the same way that Indigenous peoples and Chinese, Italians, Japanese and Jewish people have received official apologies and compensation, even though Blacks' request for an apology and redress has been and continues to be sidelined and trivialized.

M-116 — March 21, 2024 — — That, in the opinion of the House, for the purpose of further promoting better access to mental health services, the government should work to strengthen Canadians’ access to online mental health services referenced through Government of Canada websites by:

(a) developing a mechanism to instruct Employment and Social Development Canada to work with Health Canada to properly reference and provide Government of Canada website users with relevant mental health supports links on subjects that are deemed to be likely to require such supports;

(b) encouraging Employment and Social Development Canada and Health Canada to create a list of the subjects mentioned in (a) to determine where mental health supports are needed; and

(c) ensuring health supports and website links are routinely updated as required to ensure the most relevant services are provided where necessary.

M-117 — April 4, 2024 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) farmers are on the frontlines of increasing climate change impacts, and must be supported with all available tools to adapt while reducing environmental impacts,

(ii) organic agriculture is a globally recognized approach to sustainable food production that is backed by federal regulation and a third-party assurance system, and driven by growing consumer demand in Canada and internationally,

(iii) organic agriculture has documented benefits for increasing farm income, increasing biodiversity and soil health, reducing greenhouse gas emissions per acre, and building resilience to the impacts of extreme weather,

(iv) developing and improving organic agriculture can make a significant contribution to Canada's environmental, climate, and economic goals,

(v) Canada’s lack of a policy framework to develop organic food and farming, in contrast to many of our major trade competitors who have organic growth policies and are making historic investments in their sectors, leaves Canadian organic farmers at a competitive disadvantage; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should fully recognize and incorporate organic agriculture in Canada's Sustainable Agriculture Strategy as a cross-cutting tool to meet multiple goals.

M-118 — April 4, 2024 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) over the past two years, scientists, Canadian members of Parliament and Senators, environment, health, and Indigenous groups, and Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development have all raised concern that the federal government has not been transparently reporting on greenhouse gas emissions in the forestry sector, and has artificially counted removals from forests in Canada's emissions targets,

(ii) accurately characterized reporting on forest-related greenhouse gas emissions would support the development of effective policy measures to reduce emissions,

(iii) a peer-reviewed study found that on average the forestry sector increased Canada’s emissions by over 90 million tonnes a year between 2005 and 2021, while the federal government, over the same time period, reported that the sector acted as a carbon sink, decreasing Canada's reported emissions,

(iv) the lack of accurately characterized, transparent reporting threatens to undermine the credibility and success of Canada’s climate plan; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should ensure that the upcoming review of Canada’s approach to accounting for greenhouse gas emissions from the forestry sector includes a review of how Canada estimates and reports the sector's emissions and removals, including,

(i) identification of actions to address gaps, biases, and inconsistencies in the way Canada estimates and reports on anthropogenic versus natural emissions and removals,

(ii) means of improving transparency for policymakers, as recommended by Canada’s Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development in his “Forests and Climate Change” report, including on the impact of industrial logging.

M-119 — April 15, 2024 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) the government’s 2023 draft State of PFAS Report assessed the Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances (PFAS) as a class, as permitted under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), and the entire class was found to be toxic,

(ii) PFAS are widely used in industrial applications and commercial products leading to environmental contamination of PFAS in Canadian soils, air, freshwater, drinking water, fish, and other consumable foods,

(iii) PFAS threaten health, biodiversity and Indigenous rights,

(iv) firefighters face significant exposure to PFAS from turnout gear and firefighting foam leading to higher rates of cancer among firefighters,

(v) firefighting unions have called for a government response to quickly regulate PFAS and address the unnecessary risk to firefighters and the communities they serve,

(vi) the federal government’s current plan for regulatory action on this class of chemicals only targets PFAS-laden firefighting foams, ignoring more insidious sources of PFAS lurking in fire fighters’ turnout gear, as well as everyday consumer products,

(vii) tackling the PFAS contamination problem requires a class-based approach and comprehensive regulatory action, given that as one PFAS is regulated, it is often substituted with another harmful PFAS chemical in the same class,

(viii) safer substitutions exist, PFAS-free products are available, and the markets and leading brands are moving away from PFAS in products; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should:

(i) ensure all PFAS are included in the class and regulated under the CEPA,

(ii) combat industry misinformation about PFAS that seek to undermine efforts to regulate PFAS,

(iii) fast-track the process to list the PFAS class on Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the CEPA,

(iv) ensure that PFAS are phased out of firefighting turnout gear as quickly as possible,

(v) align with the European Union and US states, and establish a timeline for phasing out PFAS in products, using the European Union’s roadmap for phasing out PFAS as a guide,

(vi) address microplastics and microfibre freshwater contamination, as they increase the levels of PFAS exposure in freshwater sources,

(vii) protect the right of every individual in Canada to a healthy environment,

(viii) explore legal action to secure resources and compensation for drinking water and ecosystem cleanup, and exposure-related health care costs, especially when vulnerable populations are affected.

M-120 — April 16, 2024 — — That:

(a) the House recognize that,

(i) the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes, and other wastes including electronic wastes, household wastes and plastic wastes, can be a means to avoid proper waste management at the expense of weaker economies, their people and their environment,

(ii) the Basel Convention to which Canada is an active Party, has made strides over the years to prevent and control unjust and unsustainable trade in wastes,

(iii) so far, Canada has failed to ratify Article 4a of the Basel Convention, also known as the Ban Amendment, which forbids the export of hazardous wastes to developing countries, and Canada is not compelled to abide by the Ban Amendment until it has ratified it,

(iv) Canada has not forbidden the export of Basel-controlled plastic wastes to developing countries, unlike counterparts in comparable jurisdictions such as the European Union,

(v) Canada has entered an arrangement with the United States meant to circumvent necessary transparency and control on plastic waste trade moving across the US/Canadian border, allowing Canadian operators to use non-Party US operators to avoid Basel controls when exporting plastic waste to developing countries,

(vi) the lack of proper transparency, controls, and prohibitions facilitate very linear waste trafficking, externalize real costs and harm to weaker economies, and benefit unscrupulous waste traders at the expense of human health and the environment; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should,

(i) promote the immediate ratification of the Ban Amendment and include in its national implementation both Annex VIII and Annex II listings, including the plastic waste listing Y48 and the upcoming e-waste listing Y49,

(ii) rescind the 2020 Canada-USA Arrangement created to ignore the Basel Plastics Amendments adopted in 2019 for controlling trade in hazardous, mixed and contaminated plastic wastes between the two countries,

(iii) negotiate for policies within the new plastics treaty in the fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee meeting and beyond, which will effectively reduce the amount of plastic that is produced globally starting with the most hazardous and inappropriate plastics first.

(ii) the unique cultural, historical and architectural significance of Vancouver’s Chinatown serves as a living testament to the resilience and contributions of Chinese immigrants and their descendants in Canada,

(iii) in 2011, the federal government designated Vancouver's Chinatown as a national historic site,

(iv) the community seeks to revitalize Chinatown in a way that preserves, protects, and reinvigorates the integrity of Vancouver’s historic Chinatown and cultural heritage,

(v) in 2018, the province of British Columbia and the City of Vancouver jointly signed a memorandum of understanding in support of having Vancouver's Chinatown designated as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site because of its outstanding universal value and further noted that it will serve as a permanent reminder of the racism, discrimination and hardships faced by Chinese Canadian pioneers, who helped build the province and nation,

(vi) the successful UNESCO designation of Vancouver's Chinatown would ensure its preservation as a living heritage site for future generations, stimulate economic development, promote tourism, and provide international recognition for Vancouver, British Columbia and Canada; and

(b) in the opinion of the House, the government should now add Vancouver’s historic Chinatown to Canada’s tentative list for consideration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites designation in 2028.

(ii) private corporations, especially in the fossil fuel sector, are making record profits at a time where everyday Canadians are struggling to make ends meet,

(iii) research shows that 25 cents of every inflationary dollar went to oil and gas profits, further exacerbating the climate crisis and record profits,

(iv) the largest Canadian oil and gas companies, making record profits, continue to increase their greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to the climate crisis,

(v) the Canadian government continues to give billions of dollars in subsidies and public financing to the fossil fuel sector during a cost-of-living crisis,

(vi) in the face of excessive profits from the fossil fuel sector, other jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom have implemented a windfall profits tax on oil and gas companies,

(vii) the Parliamentary Budget Officer has stated that a 15 % windfall profits tax on just seven of Canada’s oil and gas companies could generate $4.2 billion over five years,
