Celebrating 50 years of service to the Chinese community in Montreal and 31 years on the South Shore. So nice to see a strong show of support for 2 organizations that suffered so much from the reckless allegations of the @rcmpgrcpolice politicians, and media.

I also raised concerns about the increasing use of exemptions of executive orders from scrutiny under the Statutory Instruments Act. We should watch for such exemptions in bills currently before us. #C22 #C39

Canada should make better use of existing standards to improve regulation and reduce unnecessary duplication. Regulators should check for suitable standards before developing new requirements.

AI is increasingly being discussed in the context of nuclear command and control. A UN resolution calling for human control and oversight over its use was supported by 118 countries, but not Canada.

I asked the government why Canada did not support it.

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is supported by more than 100 countries, but not Canada.

I asked the government whether Canada intends to send an observer to the treaty’s first Review Conference at the UN in December.

I’ll be following up for an answer.

Lors du Forum sur les politiques Canada-Vietnam, j’ai répondu au discours du président Tô Lâm.

J’ai évoqué ce que nos pays peuvent accomplir ensemble, du commerce et des investissements au resserrement des liens entre nos peuples et parlements.

At the Canada-Viet Nam Policy Forum, I responded to President Tô Lâm’s keynote address.

I reflected on what our two countries can accomplish together, from trade and investment to stronger parliamentary and people-to-people ties.

A historic day for Canada-Vietnam relations. I was honoured to welcome President Tô Lâm to Ottawa and, as co-chair of the Parliamentary Friendship Group, to co-host the Canada-Viet Nam Policy Forum with the Embassy of Viet Nam.

Courage from a Jewish Foreign Minister. When will we hear a similar admission from Canada? @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social @globalaffairs.canada.ca
