Statement: Celebrating sixty years of the National Prayer Breakfast of Canada

March 24, 2026

Today, over 1,500 followers of Christ from across every province and territory gathered for the 60th annual National Prayer Breakfast, the longest running parliamentary event on the Hill.

They came together to thank God for Canada’s Biblical values of faith, family and freedom.

It’s no accident that C-9 will be voted on tomorrow. Called upon by religious leaders, legal experts, civil society organizations, and hundreds of thousands of people of all faiths, I will vote against C-9 as it repeals the good faith religious speech defence in our Criminal Code.

God is here today. He will still be here tomorrow.
