Petitions  Mr. Speaker, I am tabling a petition from constituents in Beaches—East York, including in the St. Brigid community, who are calling our attention to the plight of forced migrants. Specifically, they are asking us to address the root causes of forced migration, in addition to providing humanitarian aid for refugees in host countries.

Shelter Movers  Mr. Speaker, Shelter Movers is a national charity providing moving and storage services at no cost to survivors of domestic abuse. Leaving abuse can be fraught with obstacles. Beyond the costs, logistical challenges and safety concerns, women fleeing violence face the prospect of losing everything they own.

The Environment  Mr. Speaker, this question for the Prime Minister comes from my Beaches—East York Youth Council, written by Mika Kay. The UN reports that our planet will reach the crucial threshold of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2030. Our planet is already two-thirds of the way there.

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Mr. Chair, I trust in the sincerity of the member when he says that this is a public health crisis and that we need to put all options on the table to address it because thousands of Canadians are losing their lives. The member said that he does not have all the answers. I certainly do not have all the answers either, but I know that health professionals have the answers.

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Mr. Chair, the member for Foothills spoke about the importance of expanding treatment options and in the last budget. We spent $150 million to expand treatment options. The next step has to be—

Opioid Crisis in Canada  There was $231 million allocated and $150 million for treatment options, if I am being absolutely clear. The next step has to be ensuring that people are accessing those treatment options. If I told the member that there is one solution exists elsewhere around the world, and that by changing one thing, they were able to increase the number of people seeking treatment by 60%, would the member support making a similar move to increase the number of people seeking treatment by 60%?

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Madam Chair, it is a tragic story about the member's friend. In the last budget, there was $150 million to immediately expand treatment options, and treatment should be a central focus. There was also money, of course, for an education campaign to address the stigma associated with seeking treatment, because it is not just about making treatment available.

Opioid Crisis in Canada  Madam Chair, I disagree with some of the member's comments, particularly in relation to gateway drugs. A special Senate committee in 2001 debunked a lot of that. I want to focus on what we agree on. The member said that there has been a lot of positive work done in Portugal and in Switzerland.

An Act to Provide for the Resumption and Continuation of Postal Services  Madam Speaker, in 2011, the Conservatives introduced legislation. In 2016, a superior court found that it was unconstitutional. My friend asked how this legislation would satisfy the Oakes test. It is very simple. In 2011, that legislation met a pressing and substantial objective, so it needs to be rationally connected, which it was.

An Act to Provide for the Resumption and Continuation of Postal Services  Madam Speaker, I was not here in 2011, and I would have voted against that legislation because it was unconstitutional. It was unconstitutional for a number of different reasons. It did not allow the union to have any input with respect to the arbitrator. It set specific contractual terms and took things that were key bargaining issues completely off the table to resolve the impasse.

An Act to Provide for the Resumption and Continuation of Postal Services  Madam Speaker, to follow up on that point, it is about bringing as much equality as possible to the negotiating process through the mediation/arbitration process. If the member reads the legislation, she will know that when the arbitrator is appointed, it has to be in consultation with the union.

Resumption and Continuation of Postal Service Operations Legislation  Mr. Speaker, my colleague seems pretty insistent that this is a violation of constitutional rights. Perhaps he can explain to me why this proposed legislation, Bill C-89, fails the minimal impairment test under Oakes.

Resumption and Continuation of Postal Service Operations Legislation  Mr. Speaker, I was six years old in 1990, so I am not going to accuse anyone of anything. With respect to the current situation, there is a cost to the Canadian economy with respect to this strike. It is a matter of balancing interests. Yes, constitutional rights are at stake if forcing workers back to work through legislation is done in an improper way.

Resumption and Continuation of Postal Service Operations Legislation  Mr. Speaker, they cannot have it both ways. My friend said there is no difference between the government's approach today and the Conservatives' approach in 2011. In 2011, the Conservative government imposed specific contractual terms. The Conservative government did not allow any input on the arbitrator, and the way the arbitration was set up was a winner-takes-all approach.

Postal Services Resumption and Continuation Act  Mr. Speaker, this is a difficult conversation. I agree with the minister when she says that a negotiated outcome and decision would be better. The parties do not seem to be close. There are obviously consequences for the Canadian economy more broadly. I do not say that as a member of the government formally, but I can imagine sitting in the minister's shoes and looking more broadly at my responsibility to the Canadian economy and Canadian society.
