Let me continue, Mr. Chair.
Systemic racism exists in all of our federal institutions, including the RCMP. It's time to put an end to it. Let me just say—

Mr. Chair, sadly, I can't agree that rooting out systemic racism is going to be simple, but I can agree that racial profiling is absolutely inappropriate. It is not something that we should—

Mr. Chair, let me be clear, as I was in my previous answer, that our government clearly is opposed to racial profiling. This is a wrong practice and we're very clear about our position there.
Now when it comes to the CERB, I absolutely share the concern of the member opposite. The Canadian economy is in its direst state since the Great Depression. We know that all the jobs have not yet come back. We know that Canadian workers, Canadian families, continue to need—

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am very glad to hear that question, because it allows me to make an offer to the Conservative Party to correct what may well have been an honest mistake they made in the parliamentary hurly-burly yesterday.
Yesterday, a clear opportunity was offered to all members of this House to have a vote specifically and narrowly on the question of whether we would offer Canadians with disabilities up to $600 of additional—

Mr. Chair, what is shameful is to allow partisan politics and procedural manoeuvring to stop Canadians with disabilities who are truly facing additional challenges because of coronavirus. What is shameful, and indeed disgusting, is to prevent those Canadians from getting that $600.
Members of other parties were prepared to support that measure and, in good faith, we would be very prepared to have that vote and allow us all to get that money to Canadians and to fight about other issues.

Mr. Chair, Minister Champagne disclosed those two mortgages, along with all other liabilities and assets, to the Ethics Commissioner, and they have been placed in the online public registry since the minister entered politics. It has been clearly disclosed. Everyone is aware of it, including all relevant government agencies and our Ethics Commissioner, and Canadians have all the transparency they need and deserve.

Mr. Chair, while I of course am extremely familiar with all the positions our government takes on foreign policy, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the details of the personal—

Mr. Chair, since the Conservatives have chosen to go into matters of personal finance and property arrangements of members of this House, I might point out that of the two people exchanging ideas right now, one of us lives in government property. When—

I thank the honourable member for his question, which is very important for all Canadians and all Quebeckers.
I can say clearly that Canada, the federal government, will be there for Quebec's seniors. That is absolutely important.
Obviously, we're in the process of—

I thank the honourable member for his question.
I understand how concerned Quebeckers are. I can speak on behalf of the government. I can assure the honourable member and Quebeckers that the federal government and the Canadian Armed Forces will be there.
I should also say that we are in discussions with Quebec as to how to do this. I think everyone agrees—

Mr. Chair, I've made it extremely clear: Canada will stay there.
I would add that everyone should thank the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who have saved and continue to save—

Is the honourable member asking me until what time they'll be there?
An hon. member: No, he wants to know how long they'll be there.
Hon. Chrystia Freeland: The military are there, and they will be there until their services are no longer needed, obviously.

Mr. Chair, as a former journalist, I try to choose very specific words.
What I said, and I'll repeat it, is that Canada will be there.
