Canada and China are building a more stable and constructive partnership.
Building on the progress made during my visit to China earlier this year, Minister Wang Yi and I focused on creating new opportunities and greater prosperity on both sides of the Pacific.
Pride is a promise — that every Canadian can live safely, openly, and proudly as themselves.
On the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, we recommit ourselves to fight for the dignity, security, and equal rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in Canada and around the world.
I join all Canadians tonight in mourning the passing of Marc Garneau.
A naval officer, a history-making astronaut, and a public servant of exceptional distinction, he brought dedication and duty to every post he held.
I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and to all Canadians who looked to him for inspiration. May we all remember him for the national pride and possibility he represented to us all.
It is with much sadness that I have learned of the passing of Marc Garneau. I first met Marc as a schoolboy in the early 1980s. I was in awe of his service and his courage then, and continued to be as I had the privilege to serve alongside him in Parliament and in government.
Marc truly embodied and exemplified Canadian greatness throughout his whole life. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

I am devastated to hear about the horrific events at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver earlier this evening.
I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver. We are all mourning with you.
We are monitoring the situation closely, and thankful to our first responders for their swift action.
Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada: their closest partner and ally — their closest friend.
Canadians are reasonable, but we will not back down from a fight.
Not when our country is at stake.
