“Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Dufferin—Caledon has been in the House since 2011. He has seen a few other stories involving the Liberals in general, but it does not matter which party is in power. It is very difficult to focus when the chief government whip will not stop talking. If it would be possible to rein him in from time to time, I would appreciate it. I was saying that my colleague from Dufferin—Caledon has seen many things. I have been here since 2019, and the Liberals have been in a majority government position twice now. The first time was with the support of the NDP, as members will recall. At the time, they used the opportunity to permanently change the Standing Orders of the House by allowing the use of hybrid Parliament, something that would normally have been the subject of discussions among the parties and some consensus at the end of those discussions. However, they decided to ram it through and force it down our throats. The Liberals now find themselves with a majority, which was obtained through questionable means, and the first thing they do is once again try to get around parliamentary rules and traditions. What does that say about the Liberals in general, and this government in particular? I would like to hear my colleague’s thoughts on that.”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 122 wordsI think we are going to see the Liberal tendency to use massive, omnibus pieces of legislation, stifle debate and close down investigations at committees or prevent them from starting.This is something we have seen repeatedly over the last number of months.It is something we are going to see increasingly; it is going to accelerate.The Liberals will not accept amendments from the opposition.They will use things like time allocation motions to shut down debate in the House of Commons.They will use closure motions like they are using on this motion.1They will use programming motions that not only shut down debate but also program the amount of time spent in committee so that the legislation avoids scrutiny.Positioning · 7 wordsThis is going to be a catastrophe.Positioning
