Mr. Speaker, as we enter another November, I rise to recognize the Movember movement for men's health. Movember brings light to some of the darkest topics, such as suicide. Unfortunately, three out of every four suicides are men. As someone who has nearly lost several people I care about deeply to suicide attempts, this cause hits close to home. Our government is advancing Canada's first
Mr. Speaker, it has been a very busy few weeks in B.C. with both municipal and provincial elections. I want to take a moment to congratulate all newly elected and returning MLAs and mayors, as well as all city councillors and school board trustees elected across New Westminster—Burnaby—Maillardville.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent question. It is important for social networks to ensure that this type of content, which is harmful, is removed within an acceptable time period.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn and honour the life of a community leader in New Westminster. Lorrie Williams was a city councillor in New Westminster from 2002 to 2018, serving the residents of New Westminster with great dedication. Lorrie established the Canadian Harambee Education Society in 1985 to assist girls in Kenya and Tanzania to complete their post-secondary education. The CHES
I would like to correct the record. I didn't say that. When we were talking about this specific clause, I said that they were speaking in very general terms and that we wanted to get more specific so we could actually get something done. That's what I was referring to.
Once again, we're seeing a lot of repetition and irrelevant information. We're at 10 hours now. We've been on one clause for the whole time. I'm a little surprised that we haven't been able to move past one clause in 10 hours.
