Last night, on the holiest night of the Jewish calendar, a shooting took place outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville.
A police officer was shot and the community has been left shaken.
Jewish people must be able to worship safely. To live free, open, proud Jewish lives. Canada’s government will do everything in our power to support law enforcement in ensuring that the perpetrator is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
My thoughts are with the injured officer and his family, and the entire Jewish community.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

We are masters in our own home.
My statement on Canada-U.S. trade negotiations:
We just announced the largest clean energy investment in North American history.
In partnership with Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador, we’re going to nearly triple the current generating capacity of Churchill Falls — delivering more clean, reliable, and affordable power for Canadians and supporting more than 20,000 good jobs.

We’re investing in our communities.
That means community centres where your kids can play safely on the weekend.
It means more hospitals, so you don’t have to drive two hours when your child is sick.
And it means new transit that reduces traffic and cuts your commute home.
Because building Canada strong starts with building stronger communities.

We’re focused on building a stronger, more independent, more resilient economy.
In 2024, over 100,000 new apprentices registered, but only about 34,000 completed their apprenticeship. Time to change that.
Through Team Canada Strong, we’re providing apprentices with a $400 weekly top-up while they are training, and a $5,000 apprenticeship completion bonus when they get their Red Seal certification — helping more young Canadians get trained and onto job sites faster.

Today, I join Canadians in mourning the loss of the Honourable Todd Lewis, Senator for Saskatchewan.
From his local school board, to the volunteer fire hall, to more than 20 years on Lajord’s municipal council, Senator Lewis served his community at nearly every level. A strong and steadfast voice for rural communities, he led a distinguished career of advocacy for Canadian farmers.
My deepest condolences to Senator Lewis’ family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives he touched.

Last weekend in Gros Morne.
We really do live in the most beautiful country in the world.
We’re going to expand the Port of Vancouver. That will create 17,000 good jobs and make it easier to sell Canadian goods to new markets around the world.
On this day in 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect across the British Empire.
Slavery existed here. While the Act marked a turning point, freedom was not granted in a single day.
On Emancipation Day, we honour those whose courage helped make our country freer, fairer, and stronger.

Canada unequivocally condemns Russia’s abhorrent strikes on Ukraine last night that killed civilians and left many injured. The strikes were also an unjustifiable incursion into Polish airspace.
Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Canada will work relentlessly with our Allies until a just and lasting peace is secured for Ukraine and Europe.
