At committee: Online hate, threats to European liberal democracies and LGBTQ2 health

Ahead of this afternoon’s scheduled – and iPolitics AM-previewed – emergency session to debate an opposition-initiated push to investigate the apparent leak of confidential details on the Supreme Court appointment process, JUSTICE members are set to kick off a new study exploring “online hate.”

Over at TRANSPORT, MPs will get the chance to question Infrastructure Minister François-Philippe Champagne about the latest batch of supplementary and interim estimates requests, with his deputy minister, Kelly Gillis, also expected to be in attendance.

Also on the Commons committee to-do list today:

  • AGRICULTURE continues to examine public perception of, and trust in Canada’s agri-food sector with testimony from the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Saik Management Group and the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Crops.
  • Academics and experts from around the world offer their perspective on ‘threats to liberal democracy in Europe” at FOREIGN AFFAIRS, which has also booked a video appearance by Zoe Dugal, deputy field operations director of CANADEM, “Canada’s civilian response corps,” who will testify remotely from Kiev.
  • HEALTH resumes its review of LGBTQ2 health issues in Canada during a panel discussion with representatives from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, the Canadian AIDS Society, the Gilbert Centre for Social and Support Services and the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.

During the Canada Post strike announced September 25, 2025, the following measures will be undertaken to minimize service disruption to BC-CfE clients and providers.

  • St. Paul’s Hospital Ambulatory Pharmacy has transitioned to private courier for delivery of medications.

The BC-CfE Laboratory is streamlining reporting processes for certain tests in order to simplify distribution and record-keeping, and to ensure completeness of results. Beginning September 2, 2025, results for the ‘Resistance Analysis of HIV-1 Protease and Reverse Transcriptase’ (Protease-RT) and ‘HIV-1 Integrase Resistance Genotype’ tests will be combined into a single ‘HIV-1 Resistance Genotype Report’.
