Replying to Bernard Généreux (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals now have a majority and have decided to secure a majority on committees by adding not one, but two members per committee. If that is not an abuse of power, I honestly do not know what is. Can my colleague explain why, under a Conservative government, we would never have dared to do such a thing?”
