From GITEX Global in Dubai — the world’s largest technology conference — to the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding with H.E. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, UAE Minister of Investment, the focus has been on collaboration, investment, and opportunity.
I joined CBC The Hosue this week with host Catherine Cullen to talk about how Canada can lead responsibly in artificial intelligence — balancing innovation, trust, and digital sovereignty.

Yom Kippur is always an important time for reflection and repentance and seeking forgiveness. With rising rates of antisemitism in this country and around the world, it is an especially fraught moment.
I hope we all stand together to fight hate, intimidation and fear so that Jews in Canada and Canadians of all faiths can gather, practice and learn in safety and security.
To those observing, as I will be, I wish you an easy fast. G’mar chatima tova.
Canada is taking the next step in shaping our AI future.
Our 30-day national sprint will open this week to inform the country’s renewed AI strategy.
This is an opportunity for our greatest talents and minds to shape the strategy that will drive Canadian innovation.

Feeling safe in your place of worship, school, or community centre should never be negotiable.
This legislation is about protecting that sense of safety — against hate symbols, harassment, intimidation, or obstruction.
I strongly support it.

We strongly condemn the act of vandalism at my constituency office this weekend. Canadians have every right to protest peacefully, but vandalism and intimidation have no place in our democracy.
This incident has been reported to law enforcement, and we fully support their efforts to pursue those responsible.
Our office is open and committed to serving the community with respect, dialogue, and openness. Thank you to everyone who helped out this weekend.
