22/06/2023 | 20:03:20 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) In Ancient Greece, an “Olympic Truce” allowed athletes and spectators to travel to and from the Olympic Games in complete safety. Wars were halted during the Games, creating peace during the period of competition. I believe everyone in this Chamber hopes that this profound spirit might manifest itself today. In its absence, we ask ourselves whether athletes from Russia and Belarus ought to be banned from Olympic participation to express our... 21/06/2023 | 18:37:56 Dear colleagues, In Canada, we believe that diversity is our strength. Newcomers, both migrants and refugees, bring their skills, perspectives, and cultural practices to Canada, benefitting our country as a whole.

Over the past two and a half years, we have collectively lived through one of the largest real-time... 14/10/2022 | 10:44:48 Dear colleagues, It is my pleasure to rise to address a critical and globally relevant issue: the future of work. Although all societies have faced a constant evolution of work practices for centuries, we have seen an accelerated rate of transformation in the last decade, and uniquely over the past two years as a result of the COVID‑19 pandemic. Traditionally, the examination of the future of work has concentrated on its technological aspect. Most recently, this has focussed on how automation...
