Whereas:

The Alto high-speed rail project is estimated to cost approximately between $60 billion and $90 billion, or up to roughly $9,000 per Canadian family of four

The actual construction and emissions costs to build Alto are presently unknown, and will not be known until after disruptive and costly steps have occurred, including expropriation of property along the route

History suggests high-speed rail projects in general, and similar major infrastructure projects in Canada and analogous jurisdictions in particular, have typically cost substantially more than planned, taking much longer to complete than anticipated

Alto’s public business case is based on best-case annual cost and ridership revenue projections, exposing Canadian taxpayers to large financial risks

The annual interest payments to finance Alto’s construction are likely to equal or exceed Alto’s annual revenues, even under its own best-case projections

Alto is likely to require large, annual government operational subsidies for decades

Alto will not be in full operation until 2037 at the earliest

Many municipalities through which Alto will pass, without stopping or benefitting them, have expressed opposition to the project

Alto will serve an already well-serviced transportation corridor and provide little to no benefit to Canadians outside that corridor, or to those who do not use it

Canadians will be better served by the government making smarter, less costly, less disruptive, and more limited investments to improve existing services and infrastructure.

Robert Bateman, age 96, a wildlife artist from Salt Spring Island, B.C., is renowned for his art and ecological advocacy

The mandate of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa is to showcase artists who contribute significantly to Canadian culture and identity

Despite being one of the most celebrated wildlife artists in the world, Mr. Bateman's works have never been exhibited at the National Gallery of Canada.

Whereas:

The Department of National Defence (DND) purchased approximately 288 hectares (711 acres) of prime agricultural land in Clearview Township for a proposed Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar (A-OTHR) Preliminary Receive Site

The purchased lands overlap and are adjacent to the Minesing Wetlands, a wetland of international importance within the Nottawasaga River watershed that provides flood mitigation, groundwater recharge, water filtration, wildlife habitat, and other critical ecological functions

DND has issued solicitations to landowners regarding potential acquisition of additional lands for two Permanent Receive Sites that could remove thousands of acres of prime farmland from production

Prime agricultural land is a non-renewable national resource, and Ontario continues to lose farmland at an alarming rate

Food security is an important component of Canada's national security and agricultural lands should be protected wherever feasible alternatives exist

Changes to lands connected to sensitive wetlands may affect groundwater systems, agricultural drainage networks, species at risk, wildlife habitat, and downstream communities

Canadians support a strong national defence while expecting responsible stewardship of agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands.

Whereas:

Canada lacks independent, government-led oversight of captive wildlife facilities, relying on industry self-regulation that lacks transparency, accountability, and enforcement. Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) functions as both an industry lobby group and a self-appointed accreditation authority, creating conflicts of interest that undermine effective animal welfare enforcement

CAZA does not publicly disclose inspection findings or accreditation decisions and has failed to revoke accreditation despite documented cases of serious animal cruelty and neglect. The prolonged suffering of Lucy, the lone elephant at the Edmonton Valley Zoo, illustrates these failures, while leadership overlap between the zoo and CAZA raises conflict-of-interest concerns

Unaccredited roadside zoos and private wildlife facilities operate with little or no oversight, often resulting in inadequate housing, social isolation, and insufficient veterinary care. Inconsistent provincial regulations, including gaps in captive wildlife legislation, demonstrate the need for federal leadership.

Whereas:

African refugees remain among the most affected by systemic inequities in immigration processing and prolonged displacement crises in our current world. Despite the department’s renaming from CIC to IRCC in 2015 to emphasize refugee protection, evidence of discriminatory practices and systemic backlogs affecting African refugee applicants remains well documented

Reports from CIMM (2022), the Auditor General (2023), and the CCR (2025) confirm that African refugee applications take the longest processing times and largest backlogs in the system, indicating a systemic disadvantage based on race and origin. Canada’s 2023 commitment to prioritize those affected by the Sudan conflict is undermined by thousands of privately sponsored refugees (PSRs) who languish in limbo after several years

A PSR backlog of 86,000 against an annual intake of 16,000 adds nearly 6 years of delays. African refugees already face the longest waits and largest backlogs, exposing them to irreparable harm and risk of refoulement

Efforts to stabilize immigration levels should not undermine the PSR program, a proven community-led model with strong integration outcomes.

Launching a one-time initiative to resolve 30,000 privately sponsored refugee cases from the existing African backlog within one year, prioritizing those displaced by the Sudan conflict, with additional immigration spaces that do not reduce allocations for other refugee populations; and 2.

Indian Residential Schools operated in Canada from 1831 until 1997, and over 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Red River Métis children were forced to attend

Generations of Indigenous children were directly affected, and the loss of language, culture, and wellbeing reverberates through their descendants

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission recognized the system as cultural genocide, and its harms constitute an ongoing federal fiduciary duty

The Residential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund, which enables Indigenous Nations and communities to locate unmarked burial sites, search for missing children, and conduct archival research, is sunsetting in 2026 with no renewed commitment

Federal funding for Survivor healing and cultural supports is also being reduced, while recovery is far from complete

Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls 72 through 76 on missing children and burial records and Calls 21 and 22 on Indigenous healing, remain unfulfilled

Canada is committed under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act to uphold Indigenous self-determination and culturally appropriate services.

Toronto's waterfront has seen billions in investment from all three levels of government, and has returned billions more to the economy. Jets would put that investment at risk and conflict with affordable housing plans on the East Waterfront, adding significant pollution and traffic while harming birds and animals.

Manitobans are calling for a public health emergency in light of the preventable passing of too many community members in recent weeks due to drug toxicity. A petition calling for the province to establish a public health crisis has cleared 500 signatures on change.org. BC is in its tenth year of a public health emergency regarding the drug toxicity crisis. Vancouver Costal Health Chief Medical Officer Dr Patricia Daly recently reported that the leading cause of maternal death is drug related overdose. Petitioners in London, Ontario are calling attention to public health crisis in that city related to the toxic drug supply (e-7375). Canadians are mobilizing to save the Community Action and Harm Reduction Funds through the Public Health Agency of Canada in the interests of harm reduction program continuance.

Bernivens is included in his mother’s application for permanent residence

Since his arrival in Quebec, he has demonstrated remarkable resilience and capacity for integration, establishing himself in just two years as an active and valued member of his school and sports community in Longueuil

In 2025, Bernivens was selected to participate in the prestigious Real Madrid training camp, reserved for the world’s most promising young talents

Originally scheduled for the summer of 2025, his camp was postponed to the summer of 2026 due to his pending permanent residence application

To date, the Bernadotte family is still awaiting permanent residence and, without permanent residence status, Bernivens cannot travel to Spain as he would not be able to re-enter Canada upon his return
