Bezan issued a public apology for what he described as "inappropriate and insensitive" remarks. An independent investigation by the House of Commons' chief human resources officer later concluded that the comments were not of a sexual nature. The investigator found that Bezan's apology was a sufficient resolution to the complaint.

Mr. Speaker, as I said, the minister will be in Moose Jaw on May 19. Canadians can rest assured that they will be able to enjoy the iconic Snowbird formation for generations to come. They will continue their air demonstrations with the Tutor fleet for as long as it is feasible and safe.
Mr. Speaker, actually, I agree with keeping the sunset clause in the bill, and I support the idea of having that put back in. I agreed in committee to put that in, including a four‑year sunset clause with a review of both houses of Parliament. I agree that we hope the Senate, when it does the review of this bill and is going through that process, includes that recommendation and any other
C‑11 Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to open third reading debate on Bill, the military justice system modernization act. As Canada's new government makes a generational investment in the Canadian Armed Forces, we know that any work to support our forces starts with our people. This legislation is about the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces, and it is about ensuring their safety here in
Mr. Speaker, I have always listened to the members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families, and I always will. I have been listening to them for years now, and I have heard their accounts. C-66 C-11 We introduced Billin the last Parliament. It was the same as Bill. We introduced this bill in response to the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs, as well as those
C‑66 Mr. Speaker, as I said in my previous response, we brought forward Billin the last Parliament to enact this, to make it permanent into law. Unfortunately, that did not go through. We are bringing it forward. We were very clear in the election that we were going to do this. We made sure everyone knew we were doing this, and we are going to finish it.
Mr. Speaker, it is true that back in 2021, when we launched the inquiry into what had happened within the Canadian Armed Forces, very few people wanted to enlist. There was a lack of trust. Families did not want their children to join the Canadian Armed Forces. I myself have two children and a daughter-in-law who are currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces. How could I ask another family
Mr. Speaker, young Canadians are feeling the pressure right now, and that is why we are making ambitious investments in the Canadians economy and young workers, so they can be part of building Canada strong. In our spring economic update, we announced our team Canada strong plan that invests in training and apprenticeship supports in the skilled trades. This will help train 100,000 skilled trade
minister Mr. Speaker, on May 19, thewill be in Moose Jaw to provide updates on the future of the Canadian Forces' Snowbirds. The Royal Canadian Air Force is incredibly proud of the women and men who, for decades, have represented the Canadian Armed Forces with pride at air shows across North America and around the world. Canadians can rest assured that they will be able to enjoy the iconic
C-11 Mr. Speaker, as I said, the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs submitted a report in 2024 after hearing from more than 100 witnesses. The committee drafted a recommendation to the House to do exactly what we are doing now through Bill. We listened to the victims and to the recommendations of a number of Supreme Court justices. The chief of the defence staff also spoke with over 14,000
Mr. Speaker, with respect to the question of choice, victims and survivors deserve legal clarity, transparency and trust in the process. Justice Arbour herself called the victim's choice between military and civilian courts a false choice. This is because we would be placing a burden on the victim in a time of stress and trauma to choose between two unequal options. Asking victims and survivors
Mr. Speaker, I think I have been pretty clear: The minister is going to be in Moose Jaw on May 19 to provide an update. I invite the members opposite to stay tuned for that announcement. As we said, Canadians will continue to enjoy the iconic Snowbirds program for decades to come.
